No man is Democrat who is low, mean and
possessing narrow, contracted spirit. Pride
Is an enemy to Democracy, so are cliqueS. De-
mocracy is the same in all places and at all
times. 1t requires honesty, integrity, capacity
and infexblty of purpose in it's followers. It
rejects the cunning, the base, the sordrd the
wicked. 1T rises above error, exposes sophlstry,
and looks around and abroad for objects Of COM
misscratior. Democracy demand the luugunoe
of truth, and dignlhed, plain exterior. II de.
lights not in pomp and gorgeous Iapp.ngs. 1t
for the man. Its standard bears tae iiag of e.
quail rights, aud It's pedestal rests on the rock of
Justice and humanity. It exposes intriguing
and hoary headed vice TO public condemnation.
What school Tor the American patriot We
have in the study Of Demucraic principles

aud On which We may satate the longing Tor

thod ofIneliorating mans condition and render
him only a little lower than the angels. Here
we learn, that acting rightcously and perform

In 1924 we had National Bank in full blast
on the country at large : Did it promote the
welfare of individuals or regulate and control
the exchanges or the currency, or in fact per.
form any useful office whatever! Let Henry
Clay answer.
In casting our eyes around us, the most pro-
mncnt circumstances which fixes our attention
and challenges our deepest regret, is the gene
raj distress which pervades the whole country
1t is forced upon us by numerous facts of the
most incontestible character. Ii is indicated hv
the diminished exports of native produce by
the reduced and depressed state Of our foreign
navigation by our diminished commerce; by
successive unthreshcd crops of grain, pcrishing
in our barn and barn yards for want of market ;
by the alarming diminuton of the circulating
medium by the numerous bankruptcies, not H.
mltcd to the trading classes. but extended to
all orders of society by an universal complaint
of the want Of employment and consequent re-
ducton in the wages of labor, by ravenous
pursuit after public situations, not for the sake
Of their Eonors, aud the performance oirhcir du.
ties, but as means OF private subsistence by

iZe and report in accordance with the above.
We must not despise the enemy however cor
rupt or weak they may be- but knowing them
to be weak and corrupt should make us more
vigilant and active to guard against the unfair
and unjust means to which they will from ne
cesslty resort 10 cover their weakness. We
can assure our friends that we have no doubt
Polk and Dallas will be elected. We must,
nevertheless do our duty. We make the ap.
peal with another view that channels may be
the American people one of the most corrupt
and vl.ainous schemes ever concocted by any
party which has been set on foot by whggery
to subugate republican liberty, and bring our
institutions down to the tootstool of the tyranny
of the Old World. We do not tear the scheme.
Its exposure will not only defeat its object, but
will ovcrwhem the men and the party who
conceived, and are attemptngto to mature it, in
intnmy so deep that the friends Of civil and re-
lieious liberty throughout the world, to the
remotest generations, will execrate their very
names. When the organization is complete
the exposure will be made, and their plan rem
dered abortive. Therefore organize-organize
forthwith-North, South, East and West.
p. S. This is to give notice to the Democra.
cy, that the whig central committee in this ci-
ty are publishing documents purporting to show
the votes of Mr. Polk, which. in fact, if they
do not in all cases actually falsity his votes,
suppress some of the facts connected herewith,
aud thus give false aspect to them. 1t will
be the duty of the democratic party in every
section Of the country to dlscredit these dncu-
mcnts, denounce them as vile whig ISLANDERS,
ns they are, ask a suspension of public opinion,
and write Immediately to Washington to the
executive committee of the democratic associ-
alton TO send the real facts in each case, to be
derived from the Congressional archives, as au.

To the Democracy of the linton.


The Democratic Associations, the Hickory
and Young Hickory Clubs, and other Demo.
cratic Clubs and Associations now organized
throughout the United States, are most re-
specially and earnestly solicited, if they have
not already done so to report themselves, with
out delay, by letter, post paid, to the Executive
Committee OF the Democratic Association in
Washington city, d. c. They are requested
to give the names of their officers, the number
OF their members, &c L, is important that this
step should be taken to secure more thorough
and efficient organization of the democratic
party than now exists, for these reasons.
ls That each ASSOCIATION shall Keep the o.
thcr well informed of the condition of parties
2d. That authentic and correct information
may be disseminated far and wide.
Sd. That the returns, whether of State or
federal elections, may be circulated in form au
thentc and official, and which can be relied
upon by orr friends for any purpose, and espe-
cially to counteract the false impressions which
may be created by the publication in the whig
journals OF the results of elections.
1t is already ascertared that that party have
a well organized system OF falschood not only
in the publication OF erroneous returns of elec-
tons, but by the publication of tracts and docu-
ments. The whig aud some oflhe neutral pa
pers, in every section of the Union, attend to
I the first branch of the fraud and the Congress
slonal whig central iranking committee a;
Washington are attending tn the latter, BY
/ publishing and disseminating one set of opIni-
ons by Mr.. Clay for the South, and another set
/ for the Manufacturing and abolition districts Of
/ the North aud West also documents for the
/ North making Mr.. Polk free trade man, and
/ documents for the South making him Tariff
man. These frauds have been detected in this
( city, therefore we warn our friends to guard a.
Cainst them. Dscrcdit everything coming
liom a whg source, until substantlaled by in.

We do not hesitate to say that the election re-
turns which have been, and are being pub ish.

can be relied on by our friends for any purpose
| They are as accurate as unoffi cial returns car
possibly be, some of which, from whg papers
The official returns will be published in tho

villages, towns and cities, and strengthening
themselves in all that constitutes the glory, the
grandeur and the might of great nation. This
can be done, however, only by the inculcation
OF the principles of virtue and integrity Let
us treasure up the lessons Of our fathers-let

laws aud regard the rights of person and pro-
perty--and let us instil into the minds of our
children, truth, libcrolty, benevolence, good
will, and all the essentials which constitute
purity, honesty, integrity and patriotism. While
we cherish our country and her institutions, let
us prove ourselves worthy Of them, by direct
ing our efforts on all proper occasions, TO win

civilized and enlightened mankind, and to pu-
rity and perpeluate the other.-Phila. Inquirer

THE LANCASTER MEETING.
Another Letter from Mr.. CIay--Two Face,
on the Tariff.

Another Letter from Mr.. Clays-Tyvo Faces
on the Tariff.
We are indebted to the Philadelphia Inqui-
rcr for the full proceedings Of the great Wing
Meeting at Lancaster on the Jtb.-There ap.
pears, from all we can learn, to have been about
four thousand persons in attendance, and that
too in a county which gave Gen. IARRIsoE
1000 ola majority. Numerically speaking, it
was decided failure: Notwithstanding the In
telligencer, Of this place, with singular want of |
discretion, claims that there were twenty-five |
or thirty thousand in attendance
TIE event Of the day, seems TO have been the
reading Of Mr.. CLAy's letter to Mr.. CLAYTON.
We find it incorporated in the speech of the lat
ter gentleman, and great stress seems 10 be laid
upon it to prove that Mr. c. is Protective Tar.
lffman. The ep;slle is evidently intended for
Northern consumption, but the bundering man
ner in which CLAYTON manages the thing, eX-
poses the artlicc aud we would ask no better
eectoneerng document against the Dictator,
than the speech OF JonN Nj. CLAYTON with the
accompanying documents. The object of the
letter and the intention of the speaker are con-
ccaled behind such flmsy screen that he who
runs may read.
In the appendix to the speech of the Della
ware Senator, we find the following paragraphs,
defining Mr.. CLAY's position antagonist to
Mr.. Polk. Speaking of their Tariff doctrine,
the appendix says
"Gov. Polk has not changed. If Mr.. CLAY
has changed, 1t must have been very lately
Here then is the true issue
Gov. PoLK is for Il Revenue Tariff; Mr.. CbAy
/. in favor ofa Protective Tariff"
Again:
| The true difference is this Gov. Polk is in
favor et Revenue Tariff; Mr.. CLAY is in "a
yor OF Protective Tariff"
| The object of the above extracts and they
are but few OF great number the same char
acter, appears to be TO prove that while Mr..
! CLAY advocates pere,rpiorlly the doctrine OF
Protection, his opponent Gov. Polk, is opposed
| 10 Protection, for Projections sake, and in fa-
vor of Revenue Tariff, in which incidental
protection shall be afforded. Every effort is
made to make this latter doctrine appear as o.
dious as possible. We shall not undertake it,
detcnce-wc will leave that to Mr.. CLAY him
self; and he droioS The same doctrine, in The
! rem lcitSr, 10 uhich the above erfr0Cts are gi-
rcn as illustrations. In the letter read to the
Lancaster meeting, we find the following pas
sage. which will appear extraordinary to those
who have been reading the nhored attempts
made hv the Federal prPsS and others of Mir
