however, they feel confident, that General Harrison
would not be guilty of the "tyranny' denounced IN MI
Van Buren,. 1t may be remarked, by the way, that inc
Congressional district in which this meeting was neiu
is 1 thoroughly Democratic. There - not a pa'A YIN !,
it's limits. Their representative, Mr.. farrls, may wen
be proud of the testimony borne to the rectitude OF nus
nolr,;c,I conrse by the Remuneration of the Harrison
Abolitionists.
In order TO show the contrast between the positions
maintained by the two parties IN relation to Abolition
we subioin a resolution passed at a Democratic Con,
yeution of young men, held IN the same Congfessioha
district, on the 9th inst.
uRcsoired, That the libellous attempts OF the OPPo'
sition TO stigmatize the Democracy as beIngi IN any way
connected with the fanatic and dangerous doctrine /"
modern Abolitionism, has proved abortive, ana lke
most of their foul calumnies, has returned with redou.
bled force upon the heads of its progenitors, making
them appear alike ridiculous in the eyes OF every
Northern and Southern patriot.
WING DOCTRINES.
The present lord of the ascendant IN the wing oi
Federal party, is Mr.. Webster For inns position nc =
mainly indebted to Thaddeus Stevens's ntI-maso
Convention last year, the proceedings OF Whioh le
Harrisburg Convention of December was compelled 10
ratify, by repudlating MIR. Clay as a MASON ana q save
holder. Since the real favorite OF the party mas oeen
annr aside as unavailable, and a man OF straw brought
forward for the Presidency, Mr.. Webster has taken the
command. This was obvious TO every spectator at the
great Baltimore assemblage. The private exhortatons
and public declarations were wholly directed by MT
Webster. Though rallying under the nag originally
raised by the Anti.masons, the policy OF the party rs
wholly Masonic. All the measures are concerted IN
secret lodges, into which none but the initiated are ad'
United. Their designs are kept IN the dark from the
people, who are melted to carry them INTO execution
blindfold. Their dupes and dependents are not per
mi,,ed to listen to any arguments but such as are drawn
g.. l..l o.lar opI lpU cabins ADDeliS are maze III
favor of change and reform, from the general prostrat'on
Of prices and the suffering among debtors, without any
reference to the cause of these evils.
In Mr.. Webster's last speech on the bankrupt oi'
published in the Intelligencer of the 22d inst, ne en-
phatically attribute the existing distress throughout the
country to orertrading. This was the Pandora box
whence all our ills had sprung. He explains its RANT
frations-its operations-the embarrassments II mas
created, and the necessity for a remedy.
In his letter to the Wing Convention OF New ramp
shire, dated the 18th inst. Mr.. Webster insists that no
thing but the charter by Congress OF the United States
Bank is adequate TO the restoration OF commence. MS
position in that letter is diainatrically hostile TO MS
speech on the bankrupt bull. The latter SHOWS the eA-
istinc ADVERTISEMENTS not to have been occasioned by
the want ofbanks, or a bank. They have been brought
about by the schemes of the few, TO snatch the earnings
of the whole, which have been earnestly aoetted by MT
Webster. In his famous speech a few short weeks BE-
fore the suspension Of 1887, he proclaimed the power
Of the banks, sto shut up the Treasury" BY the vigl-
lance and promptitude OF the Administration, the banks
and their dependents found themselves unable TO carry
ar. Webster's suggestions into effect. But they were
able TO throw the productive interests OF the whole
Union into deep confusion. On that occasion, as wen
as since the suspension of October last, great difficulty
has existed in making remittances. This is an evil not
to be cured by banks. 1t has been wholly created by
them, and can only be remedied e~fiectually by an adhe-
renee to the constitutional standard.
In Mr.. Webster's letter to the n. Hampshire conven-
ton, he alludes to an interview with Gen. Stark in these
words:
nThe last time | ever saw Gen. Stark, he vas at q
public house in Gofstown Towards the close OF the
evening i was proposed that the company should 60
home. He said, Not yeti is my fashion, when !
may be the fashion Of the State. | trust It is. Allow
me, therefore, to conclude this letter, by expressing the
hope, that if New Hampshire come rather late into the
log cabin, she will stay when she does come
Without dwelling upon the transmntatlcn OF the
Bank of the u. 5. into a LOG CABIN, which Mr.. Web
ster undertakes with a single stroke OF his pen, moth
ing can be more characteristic than this alluslon TO
Gen. Stark. There was not an individual IN the Y.
States, as we are assured by the best authority, who en-
tertained a more entire aversion, and habituaily ex-
pressed more thorough contempt for the principles and
political schemes to which Mr.. Webster has given up
his talents, than that frank, fearless, strong. minded We
teran. His whitening sarcasms upon the Federal poll
ticians Of his day, we learn, are well remembered IN
Sew Hampshire. What would Gen. Stark, or any
high. minded soldier of the old school say, III view o:
the present tactics of that party.
in the .Madison papers we notice a letter written
by one of his compatrots in arms, the late Gen ar
mum of Rhode Island, describing the state OF things
INTO which that Sl3te had been plnngSd by paper mo- mo-
