NECESSITY OF IMMEDIATE UNION.

Were hundred brave men, well-eq tipped and
armed, to go forth to battle, singly and without con-
cert what would be said of them Would they not
be put down as deficient in the most important attr-
butte of valor-prudence Most surely they would
and justly, too. AS in war, therefore, SO in politics,
the necessity of union of forces is obvious that
it scarcely needs an argument in favor, but the
equations of every day life absorb the attention,
that it is requisite to refer frequently to known prin-
cples to enforce them by proper illustrations, and to
reason about them with all the zeal and vigor that
the human mind bring to the task, else the time
for action may be neglected.
The necessity of immediate union of the friends of
the AdminIsl alton in this city and State, is such
demand of them tie prompes action.
What was the reasons which impel to this course?
They may be found in the absolute necessity ola
NATIONAL uniform and convertible paper currency, to
be provided by the direct exercise of the Constitu-
tiona power over the subjects National Exchequer
for the purposes of collecting keeping and discussing
the public funds and furnishing incidentally, a con-
vertibe paper circulation at all times equivalent to
gold and silver discriminating tariff of revenue,
laid with view of protecting incidentally the various
interests ofthe country and primarily to furnishing
adequate amour, of funds for the public expenses;
economical but not parsimonious administration of
home affairs jealous watchulness of our rights as
a nation abroad and prompt redress at the cannon's
mouth if necessary of all wrongs done 10 US fos-

determined resistance to all encroachments what
ever, upon glorious and sacred Constitution, no
matter from what quarter they may come; purflca-
ton of all public offices of the corrupt politicians
which now nfest their doors, and the replacing Of
these men by hon sst capable and efficient Individuals
favorable to all the main objects of policy, and taken
from the people
The Executive Of the Union, is prepared to carry
out all these great principles, so far in him les
but he needs the cooperation of the people and their
representatives to enable him to act successfully 1t
is evident that the present Congress will not consent
to assist him, in conducting the Government upon
these high and truly democratic grounds. On the
contrary, that body is daily and hourly engaged in
throwing distractions in his way in embarrassing his
administration by the enactment of bills directly
aimed at the Executive department of the govern
men and by the refusal to pass the necessary appro-
praton bills, to take any steps for the benefit OF
the country.
To put an end to this Runp Congress, this Con-
gress Of factions and to stand by the President who
has taken such high grounds in favor of the people, it
is necessary for the friends of the administration and
The country to rally at upon the principles above
cited, and unite in body for offensive and defensive
political warfare.
The contest is now between the President of the
people and their faithless representatives The for
mer, regardless of all personal considerations, armed
with the Panopy of the Constitution marches stead-
ly onward in the of the people, and needs not
their enemies which crowd upon him weekly. The
latter forgetful of their obligations to their consu-
