THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We extract the following toasls from the ac-
count Of the celebration Of the late anniversary
of our national independence by the Democrats
of the city and county of Philadelphia, viz:
BY Bernard Mcguire The veto power has thrice
slranged hideous monster Of the vampire genius,
alike The enemy Of Liberty, morals and industry the
first fell BY the hand Of the palr Lite Jackson, the
second and last by the hand of the patriotic John
Tyler, The unwayering democracy OF the Union lri-
umphantly sustained the FIRST they will now magnan'-
mously sustain the later, and thereby repudiats The
arstocratc SANDER that republics are ungrateiul.
BY Thsmas Griffin. Robert Tyler Esq, an honest
Of old Virginia the unhnchng friend Of my father
land oppressed Erin may every irishman rally around
the standard Of his maguanimous father IN 1874.
BY James McCaraher. President Tyler without
party, what has he done he has crushed the Mon
ster Bank, he has defeated the Land Bill and saved
millions Of dollars annually he has terminated the
Florida War, and sent the poor Indian TO bis home
in the far West, he has given the country Iari, he
has settled the vexed question OF The Agh. o. search
he has settled the North Eastern Boundary Question,
and last though not least he has utterly Frustrated
and demolished the Wing party, never to rise again.
Is not all this glory enough for one man
by Ebenezcr Knowl on: May every Republican
follow in the pathway OF Thomas Jefferson; and
everlasting perditon TO all political cliques, yoke
bound presses and men, who have, Or would attempt
to throw obloquy upon the meeting here assembled
to commemorate the 4th of July, l7I6.
MIR. Knowlton said will read a few extracts
from the letter of Thomas Jefferson 10 Jud Francis
Hopkinson, of Pennsy written IN March, 1853.
The Judge had written to Mr.. Jefferson, that he,
Thomas Jefferson, regarded as an Anti-Federal-
ist as the opposers of the Constitution were then
denominalsd. Thomas Jefferson thus replies
am not Federalist, because never submitted the
whole system Of my opinion to the creed Of any par
ty whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics. or
IL nything else where was capable OF thinking Tor
myself; such an addiction is the last degradation Of
free and moral agent. IL could not 90 10 hea-
ven without a party, would not 60 there at all ;
therefore, protest to YOU am not OF the party OF
Fedcrasts. but am much farther from that OF the
Anti Fedcralists. never had an opinion IN politics
or religion that was afraid TO own. reserve on
these subjects might have procured me more esteem
from people, but less for myself. MY great
wish is to go on in strict performance OF my duties"
By J. Tierney John Tyler, President OF the Unit
ted States on the 4th Of July, 1874; may he have
the pleasure Of knowing that his son, Robert Tyler,
assisted the writing Of eparh of Robert Emmett,
martyr to the cause Of Liberty.
BY VIM S. Hagan The Wings said that Gen.
Jackson could never be collected President AFTER
he vetoed the Bank. They said the same thing Of
MIR Tyler at the ex ra session, who followed in the
foot steps Of that old Jeiersonian Republican Gen
Jackson made HIS ISSUE on the Bank, and was nobiy
sustained BY the people. President Tyler has made
the SANE ISSUE Let him be tried upon il in lS44,
by the people, and we will witness similar victori-
Gus result
The sentiments en- braced in the above ex-
tract fiom the letter of Jefferson are those che
rished and acted upon by our Republican Presi-
dent. His "great wish is to so on in the strict
performance Of his dutes.'
II certainly is Enthusiastically Inconsistent IN
the editor of the Globe, andthe few who follow IN
his crooked ath TO laud continually the principles
ofthe grea apostle oflibery, and condemn, in the
same breath, theP. esident who makes these very
principles the rule Of his political conduct But
all this is not marvellous, especially when we
consider the source whence the croakings origi-
nate. Had he been upfaihful to his trust and
to The Constiuiion-lhe President of party
instead of the President of the United States
he might, in tie language of Jefferson, have
q procured more esteem from some people, but
less for himself"
The following toast is particularly recommend
ed to the notice of the editors Of the Globe, viz
BY j. J. Sh,pman The Democratic party-they
acknowledge no leader, will they be governed by
any eique-every member acts and thinks Tor him
