New YORK, July IA, 1912.
MIR. EDITOR: That crisis has arrived in the af-
fairs of the country which calls the people for inn
mediate and resoute action, think must be apparent
to all. We know that the country is suffering under
great depression and difficulty 1t is unnecessary to
ask what has caused it; it is sufficient to know that
such state of things exists, and the question that
now presents itself is nothing be done to
change, to revive commerce, restore confidence,
and place the country again in prosperous condi-
lion For year we have looked to Congress for
relief Our representatives were elected by an inn
mense majority; they went into Office with earnest
promises upon their lips their election was to be the
harbinger of happiness and prosperity. And yet,
what have they done' Have they fulfilled the pro-
misses thus made' Far from it, "They have kept
the word of promise to the ear but broke it to the
hope p they have passed the time which should be
devoted the interests of the country in deysing
measures to obstruct and embarrass the Executives
in endeavorng odrive him from the station in which
the free choice of the people and the provisions OF
the Constitution have placed him. and instead of
passing laws called for by the most pressing wants of
the country, it seems to be boldly avowed by the en-
emes of the President, in Congress, that nothing
must be looked for from them, while John Tyler is
President This then, is the position of affairs. We
must be content to remain in present state of de-
preston and difficulty for three four years. that
may promote the views of selfish politicians, or we
must use the power possess to send those to re-
present us who will do their duty to their constitu-
ens-who will act for the country and not for them
selves.
That the people are beginning to understand the
true question, and that they awakng from the in
difference with which they seem to have viewed the
eents Of the past year, is evident; they are moving,
and the ball thus set in motion will like the avalanche,
increase in strength and power, till it bears down and
overwhems all that impedes it in its onward course.
The first gathering of the people of this city
this subject took place Monday night, pursuant to
call issued by the :" Democratic Central Committee
of the State of New York; though the room
crowded before the time for organization, and many
hundreds unable to obtain admission, every
thing passed off in the most harmonious and enthusi
astic manner there seemed to be but one feeling
tuating the whole assembly-that of determination
to sustain the President.
It being found that the hall could not contain the
great number who had thronged to participate in the
meeting motion was made, and carried amidst
of the National Administration be held on Monday
next in the Park at the front Of the City Hall.
The enemies Of MIR. Tyler, finding that the people
are arousng, now endeavor to create the impression
that these proceedings originate and are carried on
by Office holders, and that the people do not IN any
way sympathise or Join in them. am not surprised
at these attempts nor surprised that those who
have heretofore made loud vituperaton and abuse
their weapons should add gross misrepresentation 1t
is asserted in of the papers of this city, that the
meeting or Monday night got up by several gen
tlemen holding office this statement is untrue in ev-
cry particular, and far from the gentlemen named
or any other oce-holders having originated it, they
were ignorant that such meeting to take place,
until was finally determined and public notice
given The only fact that could authorize these as
sertons is that the name of the President of the State
Central Committee is the that of the collcc-
tor of this port they are, however, in no manner
connected.
That these attempts will prove abortivc, do not
doubt, for though demagogucs and intriguers may
mislead the people for while, TRUTH in this land Of
intelligence, cannot long be kept concealed and in
their exertions to destroy Mr.. Tyler they will find
that +" cven-handed justice will commend the ingre-
dents Of their poisoned chace to their own lips"
