Gentlemen: As every thing must have an intro
duciion, as well a. every body who approaches
strangers, will say, that am induced 10 otter
YOU the following communication because am
ont OF all patience with the sclfstylcd "Hatg"
pariy-and that | am a stranger from the North,
travelling through your hospiiable State, on vi
Sit to some friends down South"
Unfortunately, MCssrs. Editors, am not the
best tempered man in the world; and have met
with so many annoyances in the course OF my
Journey, in the shape OF ''Whig' politicians and
defenders of defeated and bad cause, that ] am
almost compelled 20 give vent 10 my ch0ter in self
defence
The very first thing saw, on arriving in your
beautiful CITY, was, Il recommendation, in re-
spectacle Journal that all Wings" should "come
out from among" their Democratic tcllow-cit-
zens and bestow their patronage on Wings on
w. We may Judge, Sirs, think, from his, what
would have been the fate OF honest Democrats,
If the Coon cause had obtained the aScendarcy.
Is it possible Mcssrs. Editors, (for am a strar-
ger, and have 70 acquaintance with YOU people
that the party here in favor OF Henry Clay en-
dorse this infamous recommendation OF wholesale
exclusion for opinions sake +?
1t is truth, Mc.srs. Editors, that an honest De-
mocrat ono who is willing 10 allow every man
the privilege OF his own views on political qucs-
lions, without insulting. him for entertaining them,
has been GROSSLY insuiled since he came among
Your prove!bially hospitabc and generous pcn-
pie he has been charged with ignofencc, and
prcjuficc, aud want Of discrimination because he
voted for such a man as james Il. Polk. whom
NOBODY knows, and who knows nothing himself.
it is asserted, instead of for that true embodimcn.
of all that is good, and able, and sreat-lhe
de,ni.goI Clav! O!1Mis g,eat dir,nify lad SIC
eccatcd, | verify believe that it woul! have been
dangerous for an opponentto avow his principles.
If man loses c0sie by being Democrat, rim
has cause ics Dr6raed nhat lcould he net a0rc iO,
If his caHw had fniicG?
When left the North, Messrs. Editors, il was
reported that your manufactures here. owing 10
the success OF the Democracy, had stopped
Now, that am here, Sir, and find this is not the
fact am told, that the manufactures North,
have suspended their business. Truly, the
"Whig" cause MUS, be exceeding desperate -
Nv hope is that Heaven will visit The conse-
qucnces of It's wicked efforts 10 create panic,
on its own head. There is little danger, Mr..
Editor Of the suspension OF business BY the large
monoposls. While they can compel poor,
weak females and children 10 labor from II to
IA hours per diem for the bare bread Of life, they
will not pause. But if they could, through their
darling Tariff double the prices OF the goods
they manufacture, it wouil be the last thought
they would present-;hat OF paying better these
poor wrc,ches Do speak with too much acri-
mony? | cannot help it. My heart is panied at
The sight of the poor creatures in the factories,
who are crushed beneath the iron hand OF "Whig
monopolisi> If Tariff will elevate hcm, and
better their condition, would give il my heart
and soul
But really, Mr.. Editor. though have not cs-
pressed half my thoughts, must not occupy too
much OF your space.
Believe me TO be, very respectfully, yours, &c.
/ A RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRAT.
