The democratic Union" of Harrisburg, publishes the
able address which has just been issued by the estate
Central Democratic Committee of Pennsylvania, signed
by Mr. Reilly as chairman "Ths address proves con-
clusvey the identity of modern augery and ancient
federalism and traces down their afntes from the days
of the Revolution to the present time, with the
tany that the blood of the Saxon and the Gaul be
traced through successive generations 1t also exposes
the predictions of our federal opponents in such
as to subject them the deson and contempt of all men
not blinded by some strong partisan deuson. The
American people are virtuous and patriotic people, and
cannot imagine how any men who have the good of
their country at heart can counenance and support lead
es who are eernay aiding the enemies of the country,
denouncing their own government and predicting and
invoking panic ruin and distress to upon the peo-
pe."
This address brings up very appropriate Renaissance
from the administration OF Gen. Jackson when, in con-
sequence of some difficulty in carrying out the French
treaty. the old of "the iron will" compelled to
take the decided stand worthy of his character, and
which contributed to the of his But

National lnelllgencer, true TO Its instincts then,
now arrayed itself on the side of France against the
United States The following fact is mentioned in the
address of the central committee
Mr. Livingston who then in France minis

the execution of the treaty preserve the amcable rea-
tons of the governments, said the greatest obstacle he
found in the way OF efecng the object the federal

And now, says the committee with great force

France in adjusting differences with that government

This is question worthy of the attention of the ahme

The "Natonal Inteigencer" of this morning notices
the terms in which the sUnion" spoke of the abortive
Taylor meeting which attempted to be got up in the
city of New York Saturday evening last 1t nsnuates
that either intended to deceive readers that the
words we employed calculated to have that effect,
because we did not expressly state that the meeting was
confined to the democrats We must say, for the salts

saw the account to decide whether the meeting

"Inelligencer" however, gives the opportunity Of
adding that the New York correspondent of the Phlade
phia enquirer (whig) says that there were not more
than twenty persons in attendance at the meeting,
