DOWN WITH ULTRAISM.

DOWN WITH ULTRAlSM.
In every direction We can now see the People
moving, or preparing to move, against their late
ultra leaders This argues well for the coun-
try
In Massachusetts we see great masses OF the
Wings meeting together and resolving to elect
a Democrat True, Mr.. Saltonstall is rabidly
opposed to the Administration, and Mr. Ran
tout (lhe DemocraD candidly the Presidents
friend. Yet such an incident is sign of some
thing else to come-and we advise politicians to
for an dstonishment.

GREAT TYLER MEETING IN GLOUCESTER!
Al very large meeting of the Wings of Glouces-
ter, friendly to the present Administration and OPP
posed to the nominations of JOHN DAVIS, HEN
RY CLAY and LEVERETT SALTONSTALL,
and in favor of reform in tie State affairs, held at
the town hall on Friday evening
JOSIAH HERRIcK, Esq called to the Chair, and
Mr. s. HERON was chosen Secretary. The meet
ing addressed by the chairman, and by Augustus
| Nj. Howe, Esq. The following resolutions, offered
| by Stephen p. Saville, were unanimously passed.
| PREAMBLE.
Believing as we do, that every citizen Of Repub-
| lican Government should impartally examine the
measures of the Administration, scrutnize the con-
duct of those to whom he has committed the public
trust, and fearessy avow his honest sentiments
| corning the same, bestowiDg praise and censure
when they may be justly deserved; Therefore,
Resolved That we are exceedingly well satisfied
with, and hereby manifest our cordial appreciation of
| the manly, patriotic, and merorous public policy of
our present Chief Magistrate, JOHN TYLER and
we sincerely believe he has but single object in
view, viz the welfare of his country. He has
manned I" FAITHFUL among the faithless." We stamp
the venomous insinuatons that he e.econeering
for another term-hured against his pure high-mind-
ed motives, ample proofs of the base and bastard
ly subterluges to which Clay's minons will stoop
Resolved, That in order to support his sentiments,
and sustain his principles, we will support such
for Office whose talents and exertions have been de-
voted in the cause of Democracy and the good of
the people. We hail the nomination of ROBERT
RANTOUL, jr. as the man to carry his principles
into effect.
Resolved, That we highly approve of the magnan-
mous conduct of DANIEL WEBSTER and CALEB
CUSHING, in faithfully rendering strict account of
their stewardship to their constituents lucdly
posing to the public gaze the secret manGuvres and
inrigues of the foes to Liberty, whe even polluted
the American Headquarters with their presence
and in ntrepidly defending and generating the Pre-
sldent from the false and calumnious imputations of
his unjust and bitter enemies.
Resolved That the nomination of JOHN DAVIS with
HENRY CLAY, by convention who basely saDdered
JOHN TYLER, and formally read him ou of the Die
f tator's party and by Clays friends in Ohio, makes
our Governor SAVIOR too much of an homogeneous OK,
, yoked in with his homogeneous partner; and that
every adoption OF the measures OF that convention
by caucuses and conventions, adds another nail to
, Henry Clay political coffin.
Resolred That have been most egregously de
ceived by the sacred promises and professions of that
faction who are now striving TO seize the reins of
, power and 10 entail upon posery aschemng olgar-
chy OF Dictaors, who raved Justify at office hold
ers, and Immediately on their election substituted a
horde of scrambng bansrupts in their stead, who,
5 with crocodile tears compassoned the poor ship
MASTER I" old sea dogs" promising them empo,
ment, and then installed their worthless domestic
pets who protested indifference to Office, and direct
IL rushed and howied like Cuba Boodhounds for
| their prey.
| Resolved That no less commotion than that of
SlU could have forced into public office such now
1T near the receipt Of Customs that when officers
| who receive a thousand dollars more year, vo-
UNFAIRLY take the benefit of the Bankrupt law, it is
high tine for radical change-or even Van Buren's
official corps, with all their alleged faults, not
SO bad tha-since he justly routed one for retus-
ing to pay ms house rent.
| Resolved That, in our candid opinion LEVERErT
, SALTONSTALL was the supple mediator between
| certain clique hero and It's source at Washington,
| md that he accountable for the appointments of
men TO office, who not acceptable TO the citizens
of Gloucester who could not get twenty votes in
their favor at full town meeting; who are ac-
uially dctested by tuer own party. That caucus,
| whether Wing or Democratic, small or large, pack
ed or untrammellcd, which would vouchsafc to them
even a respectable minority, has never yet been,
can IT be, assembled IN this town.
Resolved, That recognize material difference
between voting openly for an assumption of the State
debts, and voting for proposition to refer the sub
ect to committee in favor of it, except that the
| latter, which was the course of LEvERETT SALToN-
| STALL was adopted TO keep the people IN the dark
and is branch OF that detestabe ugglery so stri-
kingy characteristic OF the intriguing and headstrong
Junto. A secret foe is more dangerous than an un-
disguised one ; and supporter OF the assumption of
| dctatorial powers would be treacherous his own
band did he oppose the assumption of State debts
I for they are twin measures,
Resolved, That we also reprobate Leverett Salton-
stall for opposing The extension OF the Right of Suf
rage the city Of Alexandria, from free holders, TO
all white persons of twenty years OF age and up
wards, sldents in the city for II months preceding
| an election.
Resoired, That accordingly set our faces, our
influence, aud votes, against such serve menlaIs
as will bctray the interests of their constituents and
sacrifice them to Pesident-making, to any other
Inlallowed Vaccinations oil caucus dictatorship and
nat we recommend the several Democratic ickets
10 be supported by our friends far preferable TO
those nominated by their desperate oPpon ens.
