DEAR SIR: The friends of the Administration
had on Saturday evening last, one Of the largest
meetings ever held in this borough. Though
the notice was short, and little exerton used,
the bone and snew turned cut by hundreds
showing that The opportunity for express ing
their views was all they wanted. The meetin,
was organized by the appointment of Dr. DANIEL
DEEPEN, as Chairman. Dr. ID. is a well known
and influential Democrat from the interior OF
the county, and much respected for his ability
and integrity. Eighteen Vice Presidents and
the usual number Of SECRETARIES were appointed,
including many well known Democrats, men who
have long bitlled for Jeiersonian principles, and
others who until lately, have been with the
wings, but are now heartily sick Of the party
Resolutions expressive of The confidence of the
meeting in President Tyler and his Admins
tration were unanimously adopted, which will
no doubt be published in the usual way. The
meeting was then addressed by George G. Bar
clay, Esq, of This borough in his usual abe
AID eloquent manner The speaker fully de-
lineated the principles Of ID democracy, and was
greeted with repeated bursts of applause, be
unfOlded the doctrines of the great Democratic
parry, and showed how they have been carried
out by he President.
The meeting adopted the county Ticket nom
mated by the Democratic County Convention
the same day with that unhinching Democrat
John Ritter at its head for Congress. He vii
be an able accession TO the friends Of the Presi-
dent, as there can be no doubt Of his election.

JUSTICE TO JOHN TYLER.

The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the Democratic Convention of the
First Congressional District, convened last week
at MlvilIe N. ].
Resoiued That agree in sentiment with our De-
mocratic brethren OF the second district that Ia
riff for revenue sufficient to meet the wants Of gov
eminent when economically administered, discrlmi.
mating IN favor OF domestic capital and labor,
stitutonal, expedient judicious, and republican"
Resolved, That the desolation and ruin caused by
the late Bank of the United States-the homes rem
dertd miserable by IFS mismanagement-the blight 1t
has east over the fortunes Of the feeble and unpro-
tected--the tears Of the widow and the orphan she'd
over the heartless prohigacy of its oicers-the deep
disgrace it has over the national faith and honor
alike compel US 10 declare decided and unaltera-
Die opposition to Bank of the United States or any
similar institution.
Resoired, That we opposed to the assumption
of the State debts, and regard il as a most wicked
and unjusthable scheme Of the Wing party, and one
which, If successful, will entail utter ruin upon our
country.
Resolred, That we esteem the veto power (by which
John Tyler most nobly saved us from the evil of a
Bank Of the United States) as a valuable feature in
the Constitution and we consider the attempt Of
Henry Clay and the Wing party TO abolish the "veto
most daring innovation upon the Constitution
an insult TO the memory of It's venerable Trainers
and the spiteful effort Of disappointed ambition.
Resolptd, That we approve OF the contemplated
National Convention to be held in Baltimore in May,
1874, 10 nominate Democratic candidate for the
Presidency Of the United States--that this Conven-
ton will appoint five delegates from each county,
composing the first Congressional District Of New
Jersey TO represent US in said convention, aud that
influenced by the single consideration Of union and
strength" pledge ourselves to forego all personal
preferences and TO give TO the nominee Of The Ma
tional Convention, whoever it be, our firm and un.
yielding support.

Tyler's speeches on Insh Repeal. they commit
an egregious error His Lordship is a regular
iouune-hunter, and is always seeking a prefer
menl and just now he is in an agony for the
appointment of Lord Chancellor, and hopes to
obtain Il by tatlerlng the present Tory Admin
isiraton, and believes that no fiatery is more
available than heavy dose upon Irish affairs.
IL he expected that The Wings would soon re-
gam power, and were disposed to encourage
Repeal, he would be Jealous Repeater, and
perfectly blind To any accidents" in our Presi-
dency. Brougham deserves great praise for his
efforts in favor OF the Reform BilI,n for his
{" reiorms" in the Court of Chancery, and espe-
clally for his efforts 10 elevate the poor and gno-
rant by the circulation of cheap publications Of
useful character. Bur, while we respect his
virtues, AID applaud his eff rts for human iber-
y on one day, we are neither blind 10 his faults,
nor bound TO justify his forts ag ainst human
liberty on another day.
We may add to what is so well said
above, that even if Mr.. Robert Tyler were
connected with the head of our Govern
ment as intimately as the sons of g acct
dentally" crowned Kings are in monar
chies, still England should be the last to
complain Prince Albert presided at
most offensive Abolition Convention, and
takes hearty interest in the operations Of
those deluded fanatics, who, with greater
justice, may be called "agiators" by Anne
rcans, than O'ConnelL by the English.
Therefore Prince Albert set Mr.. Tyler the
example; he became an " agitator" against
the lawful institution of negro slavery in
our country before Mr.. Robert Tyler be
came an agitator for Repeal. MAD.

OF freedom, expended the holiday granted them,
aud must now cease 10 think OF themselves, or
tor themselves. They must now duck 10
the Globe, and suffer collars TO be fastened on
their necks They dare not refuse obedience,
for has not the Globe demonstrated that they are
powerless7 What resistance could General
Cass make to the Globes dictation when there
is only one Cass man in such populous Coun-
~ as Coumbiana Or Calhoun with 9, or Blu
ehanan with 30, or Old Tecumseh with ll3 ?
After such an exhibition of the weakness OF
these gentlemen, of course they will have the
discretion to submit to any pains and penalties
which the Globe may be pleased TO impose on
them.
In war il is always necessary to exercise a ri
cid discipline when subordnates become retrac-
tory. Whether the same course should be pur-
sued in politics, is to be seen. We should not
be surprised if certain tyranncal political dcta-
tors were, ere long, deposed by the sovereign
People.

COAST AND HARBOR DEFENCE.

We have Just examined the plan and description
of newly invented fire ship, which appears to US TO
be superior for the defence If coast and haf-
bOrs IN the event Of war; to any thing heretofore de-
vised. 1t steam ship of great strength and pow
err and is to be provided with an nlammable liquid,
which, we are credbly informed, burns with such
fury not 10 be extngushed by water, and immedi-
ately TO nflame any combustibe substance on which
it is thrown. 1t is powerful as the celebrated
liquid fire Of the Greeks. The ship is furnished with
powerful machinery TO project this liquid upon the
vessels Of the enemy, aud thus burn them up.
The ship is 10 be entirely covered with rolled iron
plates two inches thick above the water line and the
sides and deck, which two feet thick, of solid OAK
timber, rendered ball proof in consequence of be-
ing composed of inclined planes arranged that
no cannon ball fired from ship Of war, impinge
upon them at greater angle than 20 degrees. They
must consequently ricochet glance If, without pene
trating in the slightest degree. The crew are safely
located below deck and the ship is as perfectly I'M
der control any steamship in our navy, and as
pable Of going to sea.
For any thing can See few of these ships
stationed in barbors, bays and sles, would
der them entirely secure from any naval attacks in
time of war; and would also prevent the blockade of
any part of our coast by hostile fleet Capt Part

delyera lecture this evening, at the Marlboro Chapel,

exhibit plan of the proposed hre-ship, accompanied
with an accurate description OF the same, and Of the

HARMONY.

The Philadelphia Spirit OF the Times con-
cludes an able article thus:
We trust that political brethren will think of
these things, and for the sake Of the general good
least cease the chickering's and domest brawls over
which enemies chuckle, and which, disguise it as
we may are fast disintegrating the party, and emitting
it into host Of imbecile and opposing factions II
is quite time 10 consider the matter now. A little
longer and it will be too late Then we shall have
only ourselves to blame if our enemies be triumphant
Let us be tolerant. Let us forgive and forget Let
US go " for union for the sake of the Union and
pursue towards the preferences of our neighbor Just
that consderate course which should like him to
pursue in relation to our own. Let us do this and
all will be well; neglect it, and who for
the consequences"
We appeal to the Spirit we have not been
preaching this doctrine 10 the stocks and stones
OF the Globe for The last twelve months2 Yea

WESTERN Nav Yoak, Sept. 8, 1913


DEAR SIR: In the course Of political events,
there are times when forbearance ceases TO be
a virtue; and am decidedly of The opinion that
the time has now arrived, for we see a portion
of the press OF our country, those protesting 10
be Democratic, and who have formerly possess
the last six or eight months, setting them
selves Up as dicmtors TO the People, prescribing
and denouncing the Chief Magistrate of the
nation and his Cabinet, with those in and out
.of Office who do not subscribe TO their creed, and
take part with them in vlifying and traducing
the President-as doomed yes, doomed
TO be s'rode over rough. shod," g trampled in
the dust,n in the event of Mr. Van Buren's
election. In view of these facts, | can no lon
ger remain silent; | am impelled by the feelings
of patriotism, by the love | owe my country
and It's institutions, TO bring into requisiton my
pendent course has rescued our country from
the grasp of that hydra monster Federalism
and saved il from anarchy degradation, and ruin.
| condemn the course the Washington Globe
and few others are pursuing in regard to Mr..
Tyler and his worthy and efficient Cabinet,
acknowledged as SUCH except by the few rabid
ultras, who, it would seem, if they cannot "rule," "
are determined to ruin" the Democratic party.
The unjust and unholy war that has been waged
and is still in progress against the President and
his Administration, furnishes us with a sad
cop ba hot hinb pnIitica al
feeling should exist on the eve of an important
election, is not to be wondered at !; but that a
war, ruthless war, should be waged against
the President of the nation, by portion of those
holding the same principles in common, for no
other reason than that he is popular with the
mass Of Democracy, and stands in the way Of
their own peculiar candidate, is fatally wrong.
Such course should aud will be rtbuked, if the
people are true to themselves and study the best
interest Of the country cannot see why Mr.
Van Buren, ,oriadeed any other candidate, has any
greater claims to the Presidency than Mr.. Ty-
Ter, the eminent statesman and tried servant of
the People, who has been assailed by whir-
wind of libel and defamation, and whose eIeva
ton to the Presidency is hi, due, and is also
due the character OF the counry. On Mr.. Tyler,
who, not unlike the immortal Jackson, having
displayed that ma lly virtue and honesty OF prin-
clple which is rarely to be found, and whose in
valuable services of long and i've life most
assuredIy fits him for, and demands tina; he
should occupy the highest station in the gift of
the People-on him, lrust, the choice will est,
thus vindicating the cause of Justice and cor
rect poll ica principles The gross and libel
lous attacks Of the Globe on Mr.. Tyler and his
Administration, have a tendency to open the
eyes of the People in this part of the State, and
they are already beginning 10 move in his favor
in despite of every Intrigue and underhanded
measure of interested politicians.

A NEW UNION.

correspondent of the Globe says, that the New
York City delegates to the Locofoco convention at
Syracuse, were elected by "Tyer Office holders and
Clay Federaliss." That is a new association indeed
and though certainly know some among the Ty-
Ter office holders who pretty clever fellows--yet
we do not believe they will vote with us for some
time YETI. S. Gazette.
The Gazette is right, as usual. "That is a
new association, indeed" 1t came from the
Globe, which, il seems, would truly make it
appear that ''lhere is nothing new under the

The Globe, in parading this astounding re-
suit" does not say how many Democrats in that
large county did not vote at all-nor does il say
how many Clay men voted for Mr.. Van Buren,
