DRRrH AND BRYANT AS faithful chroniclers, it
is our duty to inform our readers of what is going
on in the political world; especially at this par
ticular time, when the csuldron of party is be-
ginning to seethe like a pot of herb drink. The
publicity which we gave to the call of the De-
mocratic State Central Committee, caused
good attendance ofthe "unterrifed democracy"
at the meetings in the different Assembly dis.
tricts of this city, on Saturday; and from what
we have learned, the utmost harmony and good
feeling prevailed. We had entertained suspi-
cion that the PROVISIONING of the party might
attend these meetings and try to pass resolutions
against General Cass, and in favor of some pro-
viso man, for the Presidency-but this was not
the case in any of the wards On the contrary,
in the Fourteenth Assembly district, the chair
man of the meeting, Mr.. Webb, in order to test
the question, submitted the following resolution,
which was unanimously, and with great der on.
STATIONS of applause, adopted:-
Resolved, That In Lewis Cas- OF Michigan, We be-
hold an honest mao, pure and uusullied patriot .
most liberal talented and enlightensd Statesman and
thoroughgoing and consistent democratic republican,
and that hope the time 10 not far distant the
people Of this republic will show their regard for his
talents honesty and integrity by elevatng him the
highest ofacs in their git"
We also understand that Mr.. McKeon, the
District Attorney, who is a supporter of General
Cass, has been selected to make speech and
offer resolutions at the great war meeting
proposed to be got up at Tammany Hall,
in a short time-so the troubles of the
democracy in this city and Stale, are just
beginning Mr.. Bryant, the poet, has felt these
troubles approaching for some time. and has

Now, we understand that DR.. Brandreth, who

Mr.. Van Buren, has been, at Lindenwold on his
laurels, for some fime-has, from the impulse Of
natural genius, and desire to do his country
and his race some benefit, come forth at the pre-
sent time, in order to doctor and purge the demo-
cratic party of all the violent abolition humors
which it has exhibited during the last year. For
nearly forty years the democratic party of New
York, under many trying scenes, and in all
changes of weather, has exhibited strong and
vigorous constitutions; pure blood, excellent d.
gestion particularly for the spoils) and every
thing that could constitute high appetite and a
sound stomach; but in consequence of some pre-.
scription, or some bad advice, communicated by
some Of the poets of the day, and also some Of
the politicians-such men Bryant and Van
Buren-the constitution Of the democratic party
has been thrown into a state Of disorder, and
shown symptoms of abolitionism of violent
character, destroying the purity Of its blood, and
creating great alarm among it's friends, in all
parts of the country.
In consequence of this condition of things, the
medical skill of DR.. Brandreth, well known in
vegetable pill manufacture, has been called into
action, and he has thrown the patient into vio-
lent perspiration and efervescence and we
should not be at all surprised to see the old de-
mocracy, after getting rid of the poets and poll
,icians who have injured its constitution, by the
virtue of those vegetable pills, rise up again, fresh
and renovated, with new nature, free from abo-
liton, and every other bad tendency
This is the condition of the patient at this mo-
ment. We shall attend and notice the aspect
and progress of the disease, and mark the
changes, if it should exhibit any sign of conva-
lescence, in the course of few weeks. The
State Convention at Albany, on the twenty-sixth,
will be a very important crisis in the disorder.
