Dissolution Of the Union-Preparations for
Great Public Mceting-State Of the Coun-
try.
We understand that the preparations are going
forward rapidly for great public meeting, TO be
held IN this city, to take into consideration the pre-
sent awful state Of the couAtry-the conduct Of
Congress and the EXecutive-lhe deranged con-
d,on of the currency-and particularly IN reference
TO the doctrine of the dissolution Of the Uaionwhich
to the establishment of the public, has been brought
forward in the House of Representatives in the form
of petition from body Of respectable people in
Massachusetts,.
The state OF the republic is truly critical. The
repeal OF the Bankrupt Law has been defeated for
the presen-but Congress, instead of going to work
TO pass for the public benefit-instead of
devsing sound system of general currency, to take
the place of the exploding banks all over the south
and west, seems to be engaged in diseraceu perso-
nal squsbbles-private intrigues-dangereu debates
on abolition and disunon-and every species of
conduct that can create despair and disappointment
the public mind. Ii ls most shocking to the pat
riot and Christian-to the moralist and philosopher
Ito the good citizen and peaceabe member OF soci.
ETY., TO mark the degeneracy of the age, in all the
higher ranks Of society. The politicians who con-
troll Congress, and the financiers who control the
banks south and west, seem to have cast away eve
~ principle of honesty and morals. and TO be en-
gagged IN the satanic work Of introd ucing not dis
sension, swindlng, roguery, and folly into public
affairs. Shocking-sh shocking Adolf
tion, disunion, nsurrecton, swindling, all the
prime movements of this unhappy day, and when
we shall see peaceabe times again, Heaven only
knows
To show the temper OF the times, and the violence
Of faction, subjoin two singular communications
received yesterday

robbers, duelsts &c &c, and blaspheme against
the advocates Of liberty and let northern hypocrte

they all ind tina, there is spirit abroa that will check
them aye, a check that will not soon be forgotten by
them. Three cheers for Yankee Doodle.

To EDITOR THE Nav Yosx HERAlp-
Your article Of Saturday, the danger Of the
try, is excellent and hopo it will the people to
call meeting to support the laws, and hope that meet
ing Win Adn% ng
the country to endeavor by fair foul to get in
TO power; and how do you know whether Daniel Web
ster has not perfect understanding with j. Adams, in
every thing the latter doing in Congress- AS the
sion will find opposition in this clique
grant the supplies for carrying the 60
vernment which they determined to embarrass as
much as possible. The Custom House OF New York, |
where Mr. Curtis holds the funds, and the Gus.
tom House in Boston, have the greater part of the
revenue Of the Union, and imagine that it will not
be rsmitted TO the Treasury at Washington, until it
can be what turn the political scales will take
If to have division Of the Union (Which the
Almighty in his wisdom, avert) at Mason and Dixon's
then shillin of the in this city and Bos
ton, will be RENTED to Washingon.
These matters merely put before you for the pur
pose of engaging your attention. When you have di.
gesied them fully and they further developed you
A CONSTANT READER.
The illusions made to Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Web |
ser are OF course without toun iation or color We
merely give them we received them, openly and
above board, in order that the public may the
pdu uHCuhIltdUic, spun udt dHVSt III
the public mind-for no men are less in unison in
their views than Daniel Webster and John @.
Adams.
But be all this as it may, looking at every element
OF dlscord that is in action around the coun-
try, is Il not time for the great body of the no.
nest american people 10 rally round their Conssi
,xsoa, the principles, the legacy Of their fathers
snd put stop in sigma! icay 10 the spirit Of fac
on wsraie and dishonesty ,chich perrades Congress
aud half the banking institutions of the land? The
patriotic President, John Tyler, and his able cabi-
net, present the only element of government that
seems to be guided by honesty and love of country
But unless wise Chief Magistrate receives the sup
port of generous pc ople, and is aided in his endea
vors to put down faction and execute the public
will, he is nothing bu, ga reed shaken by the
wind"
We hope, we pray, we trust, that the people OF
New York, without distinction Of party, will rouse
themselves at once, and begin popular movement
n favor of old-fashoned republican government,
{ hat will run like widfre the lakes and noun.
: aims OF the republic from Maine to Louisiana.
