DEMOCRATIC TOWN MEETING.

The preparatory meeting of the Democracy of the
city and county, held last evening the county Court
House, was most numerously attended. 1t was the
largest meeting Of the kind ever held in Philadel
phia.
Peter A. Grotjen was chosen Chairman. and a
number OF gentlemen selected to assist him.
Upon motion il resolved that a committee
consisting OF "76 citizens be appointed as commit
tee OF arrangement for GREAr Mass MEETING, to
be held in front of lspEPENpESoE HALL, upon Mon.
day evening" the 26 of September.
u. H. Brewster, Esq, made a short but eloquent
speech, depicting the characters Of the Wing candl-
dates for Counci-showng up our neighbor of The
T. ;. Gazette in connection with the PHILADELPHIA
Loan Company. Col McCahen followed him. and
portrayed the characteristics of Clay Whiggery In
lively and vivid coors. He showed that thew. "a a
party, endorsed the ISLANDERS of Jonathan Roberts
upon the late am'abe consort of Gen. Jackson--and
the insult offered to the nation at the Ashburon Din
ner. tie said he was not of the political party who
supported John Tyler bnt he owed him, and the de-
mocracy united debt of everlasting gratitude for
vetoing the Clay National Bank bill This remark
brought down unanimous applause from the assem-
bled democracy. After the Colonel concluded. the
meeting adjourned. "

WHICH is WHICH,

Not long ago when Mr.. Tyler vetoed the Dis'rbu-
ton Tsrid Bill, our contemporary OF the PHILADELPHIA
Gazette being doubtless what led by he ener.
eeDcy, told the w hIgs thai the best thing they could
do under the circuns ances, o. "siand by their
principle The direction thus given was quite as
embarrassing the crisis and the Gazette w5s vainy
called upon to designate the principles" to which
the Wings were to cling as the means of safety nor
have We yet seen any thing approaching 10 the re-
CURED sx PLANTATION. Perhaps IN view ofihe subio H.
ed, the principle" 10 be chung TO may be rendered
more obvious than heretofore. The Savannah Re
publican, the leading Wing paper in Georgia, n axes
the following declaration vi the lnncipes Of Clay
Whiggery at The South.
ave deny that Mr.. CLAY, or the Wings of Geor
gia, whose candidate he Is seek for the establishment
ola protective iarl, but adhere 10 the principles o the
Compromise act"
Such l. the statement presented TO the public eye
al the South, and used means o ralyiDg the Dis
banded 70 of opponents ia that quarter. How
il harnonises with the declarations oi Whiggery IN
this sec ion of the Union leave To the Gazette to
determine. Ii may take as lis text the suboined
tract from the Albany Evening Journal, elected 10y
the proceeding of the late Whig Convention at Sy-
Tacuse
"On the banner under which The w higs go into
the contest are inscribed the notices. internal I'M
provements IA ro'ecti,e tariff "dstiibution of the
proceeds OF the public lands" Our opponents fght
against internal improvements against protection,
against distribution.
The fact is that now, IS in 1910, Wing principles
completely geographical in their character and
vary much according To locality that 10 "stand by
them In all their varieties, would puzzle the ingenui-
y ofthe most accomplished ground and lofty tumber
that ever threw hipfap somerset. Hence,
then, as one can scarcely manage TO stand by the
principles aforesaid, The practicable thing re-
ference 10 the matter will be TO ie by them" here
tofore, with one set of opinions for Southern con-
sumption and with other doctrines for the West,

MR.. TYLER-TuE WING PRESS.

II seems that the whig presses generally, and espe-
cially those In the pay Of the Government consider
themselves entitled to abuse the President and his adj
minlstraon in the most wicked manner. And vet
they pretend that all this calumny ought to be borne
by Mr.. Tyler, and they continue in the full and ex-
elusive enjoyment of his patronage. They claim The
right TO Willy him, and at the time be fed w
on the corn which falls from the pubic crib.

TO CERTAIN DEMOCRATIC EDITORS

Some ed;ror. of respectable republican jour
mails, express surprise that the President snou'o
now aunoint to Office any man who has ever
acted with the Wing party. We beg leave 10
observe 10 these gentlemen, that we believe
there are some men who voted for Harrison
and TYLER, who are as pure Democrats as any
in The land--old Jack ,oniaEs, veterans in the
service of the Hero of New Orleans!
II il be expected that the President will pro-
scribe such men--palriots who have stood
shoulder 10 shoulder by him, Spartan pha-
lanx during the great contest which he has been,
and is now waging, against the myrmidons
of Federalism-such expectation will never
be realized. Nor can we see any rea-
son why honest Democrats should desire
ton, are now entirely welded to republicanism,
and closely acting with the Democratic party of
the country. These same Democratic journals
take occasion, also, whenever they dare do so,
TO give the Presidenf sly stab under the fifth
rib Why they should do so is one of the in
scrutable things that we cannot understand
Ii seems to US they should rather defend man
whom the Wings denounce as a second Jack
son." and whom many Democrats compare In
their admiration Of his acts to old Hickory"
We plainly ask in conclusion, whether such
conduct is calcu ated to advance the interests Of
the Republican party, or, on the contrary, is 1t
not rather intended 10 advance the interest OF
some particular man, whether it be at the
expense of the party or not? We hope
to see no more of this. The country de-
mands the assistance, at this time partlcu-
larry, of every true patriot. Let Federal
ism be crusheT. This shall be our reward.
1t is all that we ask. But il cannot be done
while men, who should know better, pursuing
out their selfish schemes, court division and
distraction in the Democratic ranks.

THE NEW YORK EVENING POST

We are extremely sorry to see In the Eve
ming Post, OF Saturday, what we consider
very il-natured and (inlended to be) injurious
attack upon the President. That paper, allud-
ing TO the rumors of cabinet changes" in
dulges, we think, in most graluitous assault
on Messrs. Gushing and McLane, and by inev-
liable implication, on MIR. Tyler. Why is this
done2 If "a change" should take place, will
nothing less than the solemn pledge Of those
appointed TO support the favorite OF the
Post for the next Presidency, leaving measures
out of the question altogether, satisfy the edl-
tori Are such conditions to be dictated to the
President2 Can such course, on the part OF
few leading Democratic journals tend to secure
the election Of The Posts favorite? We think
not, and we submit il to the Republicans of the
Union whether our views are not just.
1t is true the honest and independent course
the Wing party Of 1s4O-dislracted them, be-
cause large body Of them were dishonest-di-
vided them, because an equally large portion
of them are resolved to redeem their 'pledges"
and fulfil their promises But among
all their divisions and collisions, have
any of them determined to support, in 1914
the candidate whom they so overwhelm-
ingly defeated in 1S4O2 No. Then we APP
peal to the true Republicans of the country TO
say if the disorganizing and covertly hostile
policy of few leading Democratic journals is
not calculated--is not certain, if persisted in
to defeat the Democratic Republican party In
1874 Can the Post desire TO unite and rally
together again the victorious party of 1910 ?
The three hundred thousand 'Harrson and
TYLER mem" original Jackson menn-the
firm, unhinching supporters of the Adminisua-
ton, although at war with the Federal Clay
Bank higs, and willing to cooperate heartily
with the great Democratic Republican party in
principles and measures" and men too,
can hardly be expected, at this early day
at all events, to pledge themselves, in
advance, to support any one against
whom they may have rallied in 1910, for the
next campaign. If the individual whom the
Post prefers, is to be our candidate, in Gods
name let US set about enlisting recruits TO make
up the great deficiency in his vote OF 1S40-and
not seek to array the force against him again
which once so completely swept everything be-
fore it.
We predict that if the Republicans over
thrown in 1914, they will not get the ascen-
dancy again in twenty years.

THE ROBERTS INDIGNATION MEET

Last week, as it is generally know to the ''uni-
versal Wing party,"a Clay indignation meeting
was held at the Museum, in Philadelphia, to
denounce the President Tor dsmissng Jonathan
Roberts from Office. The meeting was attend
ed by several thousand merchants and others,
who, have perhaps ever been Bank men--Clay
men-Federaliss What other effect the meet
ing can have than to confirm the friends of Mr.
Clay in their support of him, we know not but,
if the removal of Mr.. Roberts is 10 injure the
President with the People, then we call upon
the Democratic party to retaliate upon the Clay
wings In the same manner. Directly and indi-
rectly, we suppose, some fifteen thousand Dem
ocrats were removed by the retired Cabinet on
political grounds. We propose, then, that the
Democrats hold some fifteen thousand indigna
ton meetings Let the rule work both WAYS.
We contend that there is as much reason and
justice in removing Clay wing now, on polit-
cal grounds, as there was in prescribing Dem
ocratic Republican by Granger & Co. because
they were opposed to Clay, in 1s41.

his country rather than TO the requirements of fac
ton hostile TO both, To go in his patriotic

such a statesman to become the victim of Federal
persecution. And we much mistake the signs of tn
times if our Democratic friends throughout the
Union have not generally d. termned to sustain MIR
Tyler in the administration of the Government on
constitutional principles against the bitter hostility Of
the Wing party. At all events, he shall have our
humble aid in indicating him and his democratic
course from their attacks.

POLITICAL HISTORY OF THE DAY.

We find the following demonstration in the
the N. Y. Express
For the future, we remain where we have ever
been. Whenever the Administration does we'll we
shall cheerfuly say so; whenever it does i'll, we
shall speak out in condemnation. The Executive
has violated almost every principle which he avowed
before he came into Office, and we are as heartily
against him now, were for him when he was a
candidate for office, and while in Office so long
believed him capable and honest. We neither in
duge IN personal pique, or private revenge, We
have no anmosities against John Tyler-none against
any man in office under him Our only regret is,
that the People have been deceived in one whom
they regarded as wise, generous and honest, and
that we, unwittingly, we truly know, have
contributed our share in this deception, by the sup
port the Exi ress gave in common with the Wing
press OF the Union, to nomination iDjudiciously
made Experience makes even fools wise, and the
veriest idiot must have learnt wisdom enough to last
him to the age of Methusaleh, in the two years pass
ed, should he live SO long.
The list OF letters having gone from us, and the pay
of ro cole cents for ,ooie name, the Express will
of course breathe freer and deeper. Thank you for
nothing, gentlemen. We have been free, and you
have been oppressive. You could not stop our
mouths with your pap, and, TO tell a long story in a
few words you have given it TO those who would
stop theirs to receive it.
The New York american has the following

MIR. SHORES RESIGNATION

In publishing the following correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Shore and the Postmaster General, we
cannot let the opportunity pass without giving
to the sincere regret feel the necessity
which has compelled this old and faithful public
to relinqush office which he has honorab y
filled and adorned for the last thirty odd years But
regret still farther heightened by the fact that
Mr.. Shore has II IN contemplation in few weeks,
bid adieu to the of his more youthful days
and TO the numerous circle Of friends with whom he
has SO long been intimately associated, and to take
up his abode In the far, far West. May peace
health and prosperity attend him, aud may he never
have cause to regret the change which he contem-
plates.
Mr.. Shore has discharged the duties of Postmaster
of this town with fidelity, imparllay and despatch,
and with an amenity and courtesy of manner which
has commanded the admiration and respect of the
community, whilst it has raised him deservedly high
in the confidence of the different admnstra ions OF
the Government through which he has severalIy held
office.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Shores resignation takes
effect the LIST of October.
