committee OF the 'Whig Young Mems National
Convention of Ratification" has invited the 'Young Wings
OF the United States" to meet them in Philadelphia On
Thursday next, to sustain the nomination of the Whg
National Convention There are some precious revela-
hons III this address Ii lamens the repeal of the tariff
act OF 1912 IN such terms evidently mark that
one OF the issues of the campaign 1t charges the Presi
lent with having "sought TO plunge into with
England" for the sake of the whole of Oregon when
every man here knows that it the Presidents de-
sire TO avoid further charges the President with
having commenced with Mexico without consult-
ton with the warmaking power" when it is notorious
that was not until the blood of citizens was shed
upon own soil, the President consulted Congress, and
they declared the in existence But the shame
less assertion in this address is the passage which declares
that, 'from time TO time, through his official organ he
has avowed his intention to prosecute the contest until
the nationality of Mexico is extnguished and its indie
pendence is absorbed in the American Union" This is
shameless and most unfounded assertion. The fact is
that the President uniformly declared it to be his wish
and policy to respect and preserve the nationality of
Mexco and defy the authors of the address 10 point
out single syllable in the Union which expresses our
desire to exhnguish the nationality of Mexico and absorb
its Independence in the American Union We have
never hesated to protest against this policy in public or
in private Yet, rash and reckless are these young
wings in the assertions which they are pleased to pro-
claim.

The New York Globe of Friday refers to the meet
ing which is to be held in the Park at New York Oh
Tuesday next and asserts that among the speakers who
will address the meeting Gen Nye, of Madison
county, John Van Buren, and Benjamin Butler of this
city, and Churchill C. Cambreleng, of Suffolk county
These gentlemen will positively address the meeting, if
alive and well, on that day" If these gentlemen attend
the meeting for the purpose of rebuking the injustice
(sad to beg pepetrated at Baltimore" by the delegated
democracy of the nation, and, among other move
ments, to thwart the nomination, and to defeat the
success of the nominees should regard the meeting
with stronger feelings than regret In spite of the
positive assurances of the Globe, we must believe
that it is mistaken. We shall not be surprised by
any act of violence demagoguism which may be
perpetrated by John Van Buren,. He too mpassoned
to consult he sober second thought" which was once
so earnestly nculcated by his distinguished father But
that Mr. Cambreleng, who is much more of cool and
considerae politician, should, after the concatory ex
pressons which he employed at Baltimore rush to this
excess, would be the every of the moon." Nor can
we believe that Mr. Butler will affiliate with movement
which will cut him off from the great body of his party
Considering his past relations to the democracy of the
country, and his present relations to the government we
consider utterly improbable The Globe must certainly
be misinfomed.
We are not surprised by any which the Globe
can pursue Speaking of the great democratic meeting
which is to take place in the Park the 18th instant to
respond to the nominations of Baltimore says 'sthat
savers have called the meetng" and it "rejoces that
the question Between freedom and slavery in acquired
