Extract Of a letter from a gentleman, dated


New York, February II, 1s47
GENTLEMEN: enclose to you hand BILL containing
the of several hundreds OF our citizens OF both
litica parties, calling meeting at Vauxhall Garden to-
morrow night express their sentiments upon the exist
ing war; and to sustain the administration in Its noble and
patriotic efforts push on the column unit! peace is
secured The CALL you will perceive IS signed by large
number of our most wealthy and respectable citizens
men who have millions at stake and yet prefer to sacr
fee their millions rather than the rights and the honor of
their country But few hours necessary to obtain
the names attached-a Ew days would have added thirty
thousand to the call You have little idea of the feeling
existing here reference to the tardy action Of Congress
and the late blow of the Senate at the freedom OF the
press has seemed TO add fuel to fire.
The idea of withdrawing our troops from Mexico with
conquering peace is secuted and hooed at on every
sde and those proposing It about on par with the blue
light federass of 1872 Whoever expected to see at
time like ths-at with foreign acknowledgements
of high sounding names embracing, and holding sweet
converse and uong ac eastern federalists against
democratic the war and in favor
of withdrawing our troopsbacking ot-Sneaking array
from an enemy profess TO despse?
Whoever, | say, expected to see such coalition
as this. Better things were looked for now although
in times Of peace, we have seen some OF these gen
tlemen desert the party during the administration OF
General Jackson and go to and act with the federal
wings How well will the lines OF Shakespeare apply TO
some men:
"vaulting ambition o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other side"
You may expect to hear such voice go up from the
Empire city tomorrow night as will show to some OF
in the capoh that n not all e de1o
strict account any derecon of duty the part of their
servants and they ready to desert the ranks of the
democracy, or to "gve aid and comfort TO the enemy,
they will find that the people will not sympathze with
them or fight under Their flag.
In relation your expulsion from the floor of the
Senate, the whole act undgnifed utterly beneath
what the people to expect from such body the
Senate of the o. Sates that has created feelings
akin disgust for the actors than anything else yet when
we reflect that il is the first attempt since the days OF john
Adams to muzze the press and prescribe editors we are
COMPOUNDED and amazed at the bodness of the act and
naturally ask ourselves il we live in free America Alas
if such acts are be submitted to patiently cannot
remain free America long But those gentlemen will
rue the day they engaged in such an act
Yours, &C., 80
