AN APPEAL TO THE FRIENDS OF THE
CAUSE IN NEW YORK.
Our adtices from the Empire State lead us to
fear that some of our friends, who have so nobly
come up to the breach in vindication of the Pre-
sldent. on former occasions, have been embar-
raised in their desire to participate fully. prompt
~, and effectively, in the great movement begun
in Ohio, and followed up in Pennsylvania, by the
counses Of those who, from their positions, have
been regarded and accredited as authoritative adj
visers. II it be true that such obstacles have
been thrown in the way of this movement, hav-
ing for its object the nomination and election Of
Mr. Tyler, the authority of such advisers has, ere
this. certainly ceased to exist. This may be re-
lied upon implicitly and there are those who
hold themselves in readiness to test the truth Of
the assertion, by any ordeal that may be proposed
They challenge trial.
1t any OF the district or county organizations
in the Empire State have disbanded at the sug-
gestlon of any individual whose position and pro-
esson may have led them to believe that he was
an esteemed and trusted friend of the President
we have the authority of those engaged in the
present concerted and determined movement, to
say emphatically and boldly, that such an ndvid-
ual, if he shall still persist in his opposition to our
organization is not friends not trusted--and
we are called upon 10 warn our friends against
his devices He could have no other object in
view than the elevation (the equivalents of course
lncluded) of the man whose avcWed organ has
been heaping unmeasured abuse on Mr. Tyler for
the last two years. After such warning, if there
shall still be any, having hitherto professed to be
the friends of the Administration, who will never
theless still adhere to the fortunes of such coun
sellor, they will do it Understandings, and mus,
be prepared to share his fate. When they shall
be removed from the ranks of the "bold and
true'' supporters Of Mr.. Tyler we doubt not their
places can be easily filed Acts, not professions,
will be hereafter required by that portion of the
free people of our country who are resolved to
make head in favor Of the President.
But we do not expect that many individuals
of the character described will be found in New
York We doubt not that both in the city and
country, wherever the friends of the Administra-
rion may have been induced, as above intimated
to dsband, the sincere friends Of the cause will
Immediately rally again. Indeed, we have the
most cheering accounts, from many sections Of
the State, of the disposition of the people 10
pursued in Ohio and Pennsylvania We would
echo back to them words Of encouragement ];
we would direct their attention to the pros
porous and happy condition of our common
country, as the result of the wise and patriotic
policy Of the Chief Magistrate, whose acts they
are called upon to vindicate. And we would al
SO have them reflect upon the fact, that howey-
er much others may exert themselves in be-
half of another man, all the signs Of the times
concur to demonstrate that Mr.. Tyler is the only
one who can prevent the elevation Of Mr.. Clay.
The vEToEs must not be condemned by the es-
Enlistment of another bank.
The eyes Of the friends of Mr.. Tyler in twen-
ty-ive States are on their Republican brethren
in New York. They have heard that the friends
of the Administration in New York were used
by some Machiavelian politician for his own ex-
elusive benefit. Such an imputation will, we
doubt not be speedily dispelled by a larger and
more enthusiastic rally than has yet anywhere
been made Those-those few who will not
unite in the movement because they prefer some
Subordinate 10 the Chief, will not, cannot, throw
any serious obstacle in the way. They have
only to avow themselves, and show themselves,
and they will be disposed of in proper manner
for our correspondents inform us that no vacila-
ton, no halting, will be tolerated by those en-
gagged in the contemplated movement in the
Empire State-and we reciprocate the assurance
here.
