poor but worthy young men in the skill Of sea-
craft to make the ship wright busy in his inter
ests, to purchase the labor of the mechanic to be
the patron of literature and TIE arts, TO acquire
at the highest prices the staple products oil the
SOIL and to pay for them acheB Gtte;-we ask him
10 remember the facility with which he made his
:, remitanceS from Maine to Louisiana in perfect
securty and at trfng cost, the leisure that was
afforded him to enjoy society and the blessings
which God showeTed over the land and, turn
ing from the past TO the present, let MIN contrast
these with the realized scenes OF mis- maturer years
under the blight and mildew OF VAN BURENIsM-
Contemplating the condition of his country more
at glance than any other of his felow-citiZens4
because in him centre, more than in them, the re-
suits of the farmers and mechanics labor, let
him behold sailors without empoy,-mechanicS
) sent from him without work, day laborerS idle,
silent ship-yaIds, untenanted warehouses and
dwellings, sagnant trade, deranged exchanges!
We ask him where are the returns of last
years Sales or of the yeal before? what discounts
he has paid on foreign paper in which he has re-
ceived his remittances? what costs! what fees he
has expended in his attempts to collect outSland-
ing debts?
we ask him to remember the mode in which
he is now forced to raise funds to meet his engage
ments at Bank, the usurious means by which he
Sustains his mercantile reputation, IN the nope 10
weather the commercial storm which is deSola-
ting the land! We ask him where are his plea
; sures now; his peace-his leisure-his hope?-
Trade decaying around him. days of physical
; effort and mental anxiety spent in providing Tor
responsibilities nights of care passed in thinking
= of the engagements of to-morrow,-day by day,
his domestic luXurieS comforts passing from
his home to the pawn-brokeI or the auctoneer,-
no time for fire-sde intercourse, for reading, for
} enjoyment, for love of wife and children for
ceep, for food for prayer! arhole cTistence con-
sentrated IN the endearor not TO StaTUe-ScaTcety
u without hope or wish 10 live!
These are no Over-drawn pictures, YoUNG
l. Men OF AMERICA Every rank attests their cor
Tectness and in asking you to lay these domestic
truths your hearts. we beg you to recoect that
