AN APPEAL TO THE FRIENDS OF
THE CAUSE IN NEW YORK


THE CAUSE IN NEW YORK.
Our sdvices from the Empire State lead US
TO fear that some of our friends, who have
so nobly come up 10 the breach in vlndication OF
the President, on former occasions, have been
embarrassed in their desne 10 participate fully,
promptly, and effectively, in the great move
ment begun in Ohio, and followed up in Penn
sylvania, by The counsels of those who, from
their positions, have been regarded and accred-
tied as authoritative advisers. Ii II be true that
such obstacles have been thrown in the way of
this movement, having for its object the nomi-
nation and election of Mr.. Tyler, the authority
of such advisers has, ere this, certainly ceased
10 exist. This may be relied 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 chal-
lenge trial.
II any OF the district or county organizations In
the Empire State have disbanded at the sugges-
tion of any individual whose position and pro-
fessions may have led them to believe that he
was an esteemed and trusted friend of the Pre-
aideni, we have the authority of those engaged In
The present concerted and determin, d movement,
10 say emphatically and boldly, that such
an individual, if he shall still persist in his oppo-
sition to our organization, is not friends not
lrusted--and we are called upon 10 warn our
friends against his devices. He could have no
other object in view than the elevation (he
equivalents Of course incuded) of the man
whose avowed organ has been heaping unmea-
sured abuse on Mr.. Tyler for the last two years
After such warning, if there shall still be any,
having hitherto protessed to be the friends of
the Administration, who will nevertheless still
adhere to the fortunes of such a counsellor, they
will do it Understandings, and must be prepared
TO share his fate. When they shall be removed
from the ranks of the "bold and true" support
ers of Mr.. Tyler, we doubt not their places can
be easily filled. 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 AdministIa
1ion may have been induced, as above intimated,
10 disband, the sincere friends of the cause will
immediately rally again. Indeed, we have the
most cheering accounts, from many sections OF
the Stale, of the disposition of the People TO
make formidable demonstration on the plan
pursued in Ohio andP 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 also have them reflect upon the fact,
that however much Others may exert themselves
In behalf 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 vEroEs must not be condemned
by the establishment of another Bank.
The eyes of the friends of Mr. Tyler in TWEEN
ty-6ve States on their Republican brethren
in New York. They have heard that the friends
of the Administration in New Y ork were used
by some Machavelian Politician for his
own exclusive benefit. Such an imputaIon
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 TO the Chief, will
not, cannot, throw any serious obstacle in the
way. They have only to avow them
selves, and show themselves, and they
will be disposed of in a proper manner; for
our correspondents inform US that no vacil-
lation, no hating, will be tolerated by those en-
gagged in the contemplated movement in the
here.
