A VOICE FROM THE DEMOCRACY OF MAS
SACHUSETTS.

The Democracy in another quarter Of the Union
have spoken, and m voice not 10 be misunderstood
Two days ago We gave The proceedings OF Tyler
Democratic meeting in Norfolk, Va and TO TO day We
chronicle another held in Wslthsm, Mass. The
meeting was held Oh Msnday evening, Feb 5th, for
the election Of delegates the district and county
conventions for expressions of opinion in relation ID
the candidate for the Presidency aud the ,ransac-
ton oil all necessary business for the full and efficient
organization OF the party. Josiah Beard, E.q, was
called to the chair, and Samuel b. Whitney elected
secretary The proceedings Of the meeting evinced
a spirit determined for triumph Of the democratic
cause, firm, manly and conciliatory. After the
transaction OF other business the following, amongst
other resolutions were presented and adopted by
unanimous voice The publication of the proceed
iags IN the democratic papers Of the county and city
was directed
soired, That with the evidences of the strength
OF democratic principles which the popular elections
since 1910 have afforded il is evident there can be
no element OF their success wanting save UNION
With union, triumph is certain without union, de-
feat Is inevitable that in view Of this fact too strong
an adherence to sectional feelings or personal pre-
ierences, becomes not merely question of policy
party expectancy. but sacrifice If principle; and
further, that Is not only the duty but the high priv
ileBo OF every true democrat, TO immediate upon the
altar OF his principles, every personal conside ration
for the union and triumph of his party.
Resolved, That we entertain the fullest confidence
in the principles Of Martin V an Buren, as developed
IN the course Of his administration the successor
to Jackson and that his varied services not only en-
title him to the gratitude of the country but will
merit the numerous AID elevated honoIs he has re-
ceived at the hands of his fellow citizens out how
strong, may be The desire of his friends for his
reinstatement the executive officer of the nation
cannot disguise the fact that indications are strong
and apparent, that he is wanting in the power to ha
monize and unite every section of the country in his
support, which must lead TO defeat aud we can en-
tertain no doubt that his devotion to the triumph OF
the principles he has ably indicated will lead TO
and strengthen him 10 his determination to sac, ifce
every consideration OF personal character to the
good OF the cause and his country.
Rtsoiped, That the democratic party is rich in great
men, whose abilities will justify the reposa of great
interests TO their trust, whose services in the field of
war; IN the Cabinet and IN the halls Of Congress will
recommend them to the notice of their country whose
political integrity is unquesonabe, whose patriotism
Is undou6 ed, and whose characters are uulmpeacha.
be That In the present crisis II Is the duly of the de-
mocracy, wei as its interest to select from the
hckiy serred ranks Of such men, in the nc, th in the
south, in tie east or in the west ONE, who in prnci-
pie unotectionablc, can unite in himself the ent re
strength Of his party, and bring to his support the
suhrages OF the greater portion of the people that
with such man, throwing aside all minor consdera-
TONS with single eye to the success Of the prnci-
Piles OF justice and the constitution, can rally " it'll
strength and power that shall only efiectually
triumph over all opposition, but forever doom the
wbig party to the unsuccessful against republican
doctrines, which II has steadily folowed since the
adoption OF the constitution
Resolved, That for the manner which the present
administration has efectuay crushed the rising spirit
OF the moneyed arstocracy, 10y interposing the bar
riers provided in the constitutions II entitled to the
gratitude oil the people and the country that in view
OF the glorious effect Of those specific acts by which
the fell power of wing legislation has been Frustrated
well as IN the settlement of the difficulties with
Great Britain upon the boundary question, and the
manly and rlotIc stand taken upon the Oregon
question, IN defence Of our undoubted territory and
its general measures the history Of the country look
ing only at the results, will regard i, not only
Just, but most fortunate administration.
Resgired, Tbat the of the majority of the
Senate, IN the rejection OF the officers OF The cabinet,
has been without Just cause and cannot but compro-
mise its dignity a national council assuming fac
tlouspositIon which II has held the opening Of
the present administration, II has evnced DISPOSE
ton TO consult and pursue partisan policy, regard
less of public interests which does no honor to lis
members aud has ever been, a We trust II may ever
remain, without parallel in the history Of the
try. JOSIAH BEARD, Chairman.
