JOHN TYLER, OF Virginia.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN STATES
RIGHT MEETING.

klOIl MEL lNb.
According to previous notice, the Demo.
Gratis of this county met Oh Saturday last,
for the purpose of selecting candidates for
The Legislature, &c. After the meeting
was organized il was addressed by G.. W.
Caldwell, Esq. 1t is not our intention TO
attempt TO follow the gentleman through
his difIcrcl, meanderings, for if broad as.
sertion is proof, then he succeeded in es.
tablishing his positions; but our object is
only to notice some Of the charges made
BY him against the Wing party and Gen
Harrison, The candidate Of that party for
the Presidency. In the outset he stated
thai combination had been formed by
the Wing party and the Banks TO break
down the Democratic party and place them
selves in power--this charge can no, be
sustained. But what are the true facts of
the case. II is fact which cannot be con.
troSerted, thai since the prostration Of the
Bank Of the United States the jackson.
Van.Buren-party have created iie princi.
pal part of the Banks since that time-and
this party being such haior Of these in-
s,itulions, Would they not then encircle the
charters by such restrictions as to prevent
any such combination, or even suspensions,
which is now SO loudly complained of
Certainly they would. Blu, how standa the
Case in States under the influence OF their
politics, pennsylvania for instance why,
the party" have been compelled to yield
DO the necessity Of the case and no, enforce
rhe restrictions imposed on the Banks
BY them, but haze granted longer indul.
gcncc. The Banks it Is true, were esiab-
lIshed for public convenience, but as self.
preservation is the first law Of our ma.
ture, and "the party Z" still continuing TO
wage war on the currency, they are bound
10 protect themselves first. lie, Mr.. Van
Buren, give up the monstrous idea of an
cafife Specie Currency, then the Banks
Nill fulfil their pledges to the country. IL
we'll for " the party" 10 try and diver,
public attention from the true cause Of The
distress in the country to the Wing party
but it viii NOT all do. The people viii
pot be much longer deceived.
lie attempted to identify the preson,
Wing party with the old Federal purity,
because some Wing measures were for.
lnerly suppor;edby them and because Da-
hiel Webster and some others of the Fed
raj party are now cooperating with the
Whigs. IL this rule be applied to his
an party we think il would be minus
