After the Transaction Of the necessary bust
ness for which they had been called together,
calls were made upon several gentlemen to adj
dress The meeting, and Mr. DANIEL RATcLIrFE,
Of Virginia, rose and addressed the meeting in
an eloquent and Impressive manner; in which
he called upon every Democrat in the Union to
stand firm and erect in defence Of those prnc-
pies which bad so often crowned the Democrat
ic party with triumph worthy of the cause Of
civil, religious, social, and political liberty, for
which our fathers fought and died, and not,
for the mere ephemeral triumph of men, lose
sight of their principles BY quarelling with one
another about their personal iavortes. He said,
although he, like other mem, had his personal
favorIe, yet he would support any man who
embodied the principles Of the party TO which
he belonged--no matter who he was-because

of the Democratic party, but Of the popular in
stitutons Of our common country, which alone
should cheer them onward ia the discharge Of
that duty-calculated to gain their ends not by
the popularity Of their principles, but by Jv

#manner, descanted at some length upon the un-
worthy mannerinw which theClay Club Of George

other than an honest man would have dared, in
the face Of seventeen millions Of freemen, to
have Vetoed the favorite measure of those who
had elevated him to power, if he had not been
conscious that il was in derogation of that in
slrument which he had sworn TO protect and de-
fend John Tyler was an honest man, and he
was always ready to defend his private and po
luical character against the assaults Of the COM
mon enemy-the Wing party.
He alluded TO the disgraceful manner in which
The Wings of Georgetown had treated DR.. Dun

him, on a transparency, laid out, with bottle un-
der his head, with the following Inscription:

resurrection has taken place, and our Wing
