SIN / congratulate you upon the fact, thai tho |
sacrifice made by the President TO further bis pr'no
cples and bis party, noble az II was Is not without
parallel in the course Of his friends In the city and
county OF Philadelphis. The party with which they |
now act and of which they always iormeda respecta-
BILE portion was never more saDgone, more ieryent,
and enthusiastic; and hazard nothing in saying that
here at least, the fire owes most Of its brightness to
the activity Of those who were but recently leaders
of the "Corporal's Guard Al the last demonstra-
tion in favor of President Tyler HIMSELF we mustered
at least three thousand men. You are sufficiently
convesant with the patronage Of the Government to
know that not more than one in thirty could have
been Office holder f every one in the city had
been present. This numerous ossemblage Of free
men responded, heart and SOUL to every sentiment IN
favor of the Administration and its principles. Sub
sequently, we have again councilled together with
Polk and Dallas, and Tyler's principles for our
theme, and the original enthusiasm was not whit
abated.
take the ground that no Administration can do
itself more credit than TO appoint its abest friends To
places Of high trust | make no apology, therefore,
for stating that all the occasions here referred to-
among the warm and the able, the warmest and the
ablest were the Hon. Calvin Blythe and the Hon.
Joel b Sutherland and to their energy and infu-
ence, we are mainly indebted for harmonizing eIe-
ments, which had before been somewhat at points
1 hese gentlemen deny that the holding of Office i'm
pairs either their right of suffrage their right Of
speech, and considering their support of President
Tyler, a consecutive link in the chain of their De-
,ba h;ch Cd nd ,ha,
ty have secured to them with abundant success and
abundant advantage TO the cause.
As no party can act to advantage without leaders,
consider IT fortunate for the in Pennsy lvania
that circumsa have placed these two gentlemen
just where they are. Their long and conspicuous
standing in the Democratic ranks has done much TO
reconcile our differences, as we'll 10 inspire conf
dence in the mutual professions of friendship subsst
ing between the two portions of the Democratic
party Their peculiar creeds had their rise in the
second war of Independence, when men, more than
at any other period of our history had TO make their
faith known by their works; and none can challenge
either their school or their schooling. The name of
Calvin Blythe is identified with the bravest strokes
OF our Northwestern army. In his youth he aban-
doned home and friends, and to protect both march
ed voluntarily TO aid the tide Of war, which Blue
Light Federalism was striving turn against them,
and in the final result his Efforts felt and the
Democracy Of Pennsylvania have ever since acknow-
lodged the obligation, and done their uttemost to
meet the service in the spirit in which it gratui
tously rendered.
Judge Sutherlands services to the Democratic
cause, though not unmixed with the same military
achievements, have been more particularly confined
to its political conduct. Long Democratic men,
Der of this Commonwealth, he acquired, from his
party throughout the State which in less honest and
less faithful hands, might have done much in
ure, as PROFESSIONALLY did TO prosper the of
universal Republicanism. With versatility Of tai
ent which defed me,es and bounds, he was enabled
to combine the compliments Of Rash in medicine,
with those of Mr.. Adams in law and politics. Nor
have bis talents been confined exclusively TO the ele
Nents Of either his impress is yet felt upon the de-
tails of both. At very early period be prepared a
sort of commentary upon Jefferson's Manual, which
is at the present time, the legislative guide through
out the Union and has, have doubt, been
frequently referred to by Mr.. Polk his qualifca-
tons for the Presidency have been by the Judge
which is saying good deal, member Of the
Democratic party, seems to dwell with more heart
felt energy upon the virtues Of Young Hickory.
With such leaders TO bring up the rear, how can
you doubt thorough union of the Democracy Of
Pennsylvania and with that, bow can you doubt the
success Of our causei II.
