COMMU NICATION.
FROM ogR cEoRGErowN CORRESPONDENT.
Sound the trumpet, beat the drum,
LO! behold the r0tCGys Gomez"

Lo behold the rocdy's come!"
The Democracy of this place have to con-
graduate themselves on account OF the meeting
held on Thursday evening last at the Council
Chamber, and addressed by the Hon. DR.. Dun
can, who has been den0minated upon the floor
Of Congress rs ga recreant and coward" That
the Democracy have covered themselves with
immortal renown none surely, will deny, who
listened to the chaste, respectful, and beautiful
language used by him on that occasion That
representative of seventy-hve thousand freemen
should have used such language, and related
such obscene anecdotes as he did upon that oc-
casion is an outrage upon decency and the mo-
rality of the community. His speech was a
repetition of all the low slang gathered in the
purlieus Of Cincinnati, and cooked up to serve
this part OF the Democratic vineyard. Yet, low
and disgusting as were his sentiments, he found
some of the audience willing and ready to APP
plaud him at every sentence So deeply have
The Democracy Of this place sunk in the mire
and filth Of Locofocoism, that nothing is TOO nau-
seous for the stomach All the scurrility which
such mans speech abounds is to them teat-
books 10 retail in their conversations. He made
some apologies for the length Of his speech, and
said he was fearful he would tire his audience,
when the secretary of the meeting (one OF the
slaunchest wings Of 40, but who since has
turaed traitor to his party and egade 10 those
from his seat, aand exclaimed, go on Doctor, 4
coul5 },Stcn 10 gou III dEybrsak!" Oh, won
derous young man. thou must haNe the stomach
Of an ostrich, and the appetite OF an EsqulmauX,
70 haze swallowed what y9u did. was not as
tonished at the Democracy applauding the Dr.,
Tor they are of the same calibre, and TO them
may be well applied the old adage, " birds Of a
feather flock together" The Doctors predatory
remarks were glorious, and called forth thunders
of 6. hay ha in
| ing once more before the Democracy of George
town, standing erectupon his feet (great applause,
! end not reclining upon three uhaskey barrels, as
| represented by the iederalists." He then went
on to abuse the memory of General Harrison
and vindcate Mr.. Tyler The bank, as usual
came in for share of his anathemas. The prin-
ciples OF the party when they come into power
elect the .Kinderhook fox and elect majority of
both houses of Congress ARE, the repeal of the
tariff and the distribution laws, the establish
ment Of the sub Treasury, and sending an armed
| force to occupy the Oregon Territory. TO show
you how gullable are the party, and what argu-
| ments are used to work upon the ignorant and
,Hiterate, will give you one of his beautiful
illustrations relative to the tariff and distribution
| laws Say, for instance that the State of Ma
ryland lays tax for State purposes, amounting
| 10 100000, and her share Of the distribution
was 100000 per year, it would reduce the
|
tax Of $500 has it reduced to $780, and poor
man, perhaps, who owns COW and horse and a
| house and lot, pays tax of $3, saves only 81
by the distribution, while the rich man makes
5000. Here you see, said he, how the poor man
is oppressed by the distribution, and the rich
man benefited" Such were his very words, and
they were swallowed by the Democracy, and
settled down by three hearty rounds.
In his commiseration for the poor, the DR.. did
not tell his audience that he had brought one of
his sons to the city for page in the Capitol, and
that the son OF poor woman was turned out to
make room for him. Nor did he inform the au-
dience what induced him to join the temperance
society at the place of his residence, as he no
doubt intended to give beautiful illustration in
the course Of the evening. He seemed anxious
to impress upon his audience the solemnity of
the oath he had taken to sustain the laws and
Constitution Of the country, and that he could
| not c0nscientsOusly vote for National Bank.
Will he stand by his oath and the constitution,
and vote against the admission of the members
elected by general ticket! Or, will he, with
that elasticity of conscience which the party are
| known to possess admit them in contradiction to
an express law of Congress. If he has any COM
Functions OF conscience, he can look to this
place, where he will find one of his irmest
friends, who has always been opposed to banks
and bank rags ;-one OF the last acts Of Mr.. Van
Buren, was to appoint him magistrate--who
took an oath to support the Constitution and
laa0s OF the lands now an utterer and passer of
| shinplasters, viz, banker! The violation Of an
oath is party failing
| vote of thanks was moved to the DR.. for his
able speech, by one of the younger scions Of De-
mocracy, one of the Duncan stamp, who can,
even now, vie with him in the outpouring of
filth and scurrility upon his political opponents,
and it was seconded by the plant and supple
secretary.
motion was then made, that the DIR. furnish
the chairman Of the meeting with copy of his
remarks no doubt intending to have them hung
up in marble frame ;-seconded by the sec
retary.
The DR.. said previous to the question being
taken, he would inform the meeting, that his
time was SO much taken up, that it would be
impossible for him 10 write out his remarks, but
he should be compelled TO make several speeches
upon the floor Of Congress, when the remarks
would be embodied in them, and he would see
