. A Talk with Young Men,

Wa took occasion some days since, % address
some words OF counsel 10 those just entering upon
the stage Of responsible action with regard to tne
Political associations. We called no party names
sppealed to no prejodices, affirmed no state Of
facts. We simply advised young men, who have not
vet formed decided Political attachments, and vino
mean TO live Osefuy and irrepro'chably' 70 TOOK
oapdidly, carefully about them, and see whether
they do or do not find a majority o. those VINO are
stodious modest temperate, orderly moral ana
vituous acting with or tending toward one party
and a majority Of the dissipated ro~dy, nosous'
spendthrit gambling and vicious tending the osAer
way. or course. we did not imagine nor Imply
that all the well Gaming were to be found IN one
marty and all the bad in sno,her-very far from IT,.
There are good and bad men in all organizations
all ageregstions. Bat it seemed 10 us that can
did. discerning youth of fair Intelligence could not
fail 10 detect a disparity IN the general character
istcs Of the persons composing the great nVal par
ties respectively which could not fail 20 be OF ser
vice 10 him 10 deciding with which parry 70 asso'
ciste himself IL seems so still The young man
who reads this will decide for himself much party
naturally attracts most Of those whom he can re-
spect and conGde 10 only invite him 10 make
the scrutiny and to act upon its results.
Our former article has caused much unesslness
IN certain auarters One correspondent was 80 I'M
pudeptly false as TO assert that had insinuated
IN /, that the rich were mainly Wings, and therefore
asked young men 10 join side We had said
nothing Of riches poverty The Boston Times
closes column Of staggering ontrUth with toe broad
assertion that ir article " all that is good 10
claimed for Whiegery in truth 1t claimed
nothing, bat simply solicited young men to LOOK iof
themselves and see to which side the balance OF
good nclines. Though Slavery IN Amerfca has no
more sbject apologist more superseryicesole TOOL
than this same Times, IT nsinsaes that It's party Is
the friend OF Freedom e0eryUheye," and that the
Wing party is 1.-The enemy OF every proposed Poit
icai Reform ut home" Has ths writer ever com
pared the vote OF the Wing and Loco Foco Counties
of this State respectively upon the call OF our late
Constitutional Convention or the adoption OF the
resulting State Constitution Ditto OF Illinois Can
he tell how Wing Kentucky has just voted so
strongly for Constitutional Reform, while Loco

The Nepark Eagle has an article IN the same
vein with The Times which broadly asserts that
the party it calls Democratic has uniformly been
and is in favor OF Universal Suhragel grosser
untruth could not well be uttered. Here IN this
very New York. rot two years ago, Universai SUIT
frage was distinctly aud directly voted down, two
thirds Of the votes against It being cast by that
party, while seven eighihs of those IN favor OF
such Suffrage were cast by those very Wings

prejudice of the lowest class OF the Enlrsnchised
AGAINST the Disirsnchised. Democracy has
served the poor Disiranchised caste st'l worse
than thi. in the New Constitution OF Illinois,
