THE friends of the Democratic cause in the
South, may rely upon it, that New York will
do her duty in the coming struggle. The prin.
ciples of Democracy are too dear to her sons to
beabandoned in crisis like the present. NevS
or was there warmer enthusiasm, or firmer
determination to triumph. The motto, s'the
Empire State must be redeemed" has found
an echo in thousands Of warm and willing
hearts. During the summer while the Whigs
have been indulging themselves in political car
ousalS, and in nat.empting to carry out their IA
Sorte plan of ''stooping to conquer" have IN
suited the Intelligence of the people by log cab
in, coon skin and hard cider arguments, the
Democrats have been comparatively quiet. But
since the first of Sept, thei- energies have been
awakened with mole than ancient strength, and
there IS nothing that can observe in The way
OF most decided and glorious Democratic tri-
umph. They are harmonized and consolidated
There are no internal dssentlons among them
ro rivalry, hut the honorable rivalry of surpass
ing each other in their services fl the good
oarRe.
''tThe news from Maine, far from dispirting
them, has aroused them to the sense of neces
sity Of double efforts 1t has also confirmed
them, as it must confirm the Democracy of the
South, in the conviction that modern Whigge-
ny and Abotionism are one and the same
Proof has already been piled on proof 10 proof
to prove this fact, but proofs come daily TO add
to and strengthen it. Here, an Abolitionist who
is Democrat, ia an almost unknown animal
while almost every AboltonSt of note is dc,
cded supporter of General Harrison. The
Generals letters on the subject ''not intended
for the public eye," have at least reached the
eye of those enemeis TO the South, and they
look 10 his election, with hope that through
his countenance, they will gather strength, and
ultimately carry their views into effect.
"Wlll the Democracy of the South stand BY
their brethren Of the North, who have exerted
every effort in their power, TO put down these
assailants Of the domestic institutions of The
slavehoding Statesl 1t cunnot for moment be
doubted. The warm-hearted sons of the South
are too generous as well as too chivalrous to
abandon those who have entered with them IN
defence oft!eir institutions. To them we look
with eager hopes, and undoubting confidence.
They may rely upon US, for their rights are as
dear to our own. Our most dearly cherished
polical recollections and associations are con.
nected with Southern men, and Southern mea-
Sures. We know no local or sectional dstinc>
tons, and there is no part of Mr. Van Buren's
policy more warmly admired or mors firm,
fence Of the rights of the South.
"The calm, dspassionate. argumentative
speech ofMr. w at the Exchange on. Friday iast
has had good effect in the right iarter. The
meeting was very large; an1 though the rain
poured in torrents, the assembled multitude stood
ttm until the Oi ators had closed Ii is bul ius-
tics to add, that many Wing merchants were
present, and we have every reason to believe,

Wrighl's remarks made an impression upon
them of the most favorable character for ou
carse. Indeed, the loudavoiced anathemas a,
gainst the Independent Treasury scheme-the
threats of force and violence, should it be carr.
ed into effect, are over now. You scarcely see
ii denounced even in the most rabid Wing Jour
nails, while in private intercourse many Of the
determined Wings confess, that they see moth,
ing i'll 1t particularly Objectionable. Could the
Wings feel satisfied that their hankerings after
a National Bank, can not be gratifed a large
majority of them would be Independent rreasu
ry men. Indeed, The converts to the ID mocrat
ic cause from the ranks Of Wing merchants are,
far more numerous than we had reason to exr
pecf. The retired capitalist, the active mer-
chant, the mechanic, are daily becoming con
Vlnced That cerlaIntY in the receipt of profits and
wages, is far more desirable than constant Auc. |
tnatlonS Of prices, which render air pursuits in
llie sort of lottery, giving wealth to the few
in instant and in an instant snatching from the |
mass the means Of living.
'Irepeat, every thing looks we'll for the good |
cause. The Empire State will be redeemed |
The generous and chivaIrous Democracy of the |
South, will surely stand by the Democracy of
the e North. which has proved, and will prove 1t
