Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1853-09-30
hrYwc have read the resolutions, letters and

densed bitterness The resolutions, the letters
and the speeches are distilled aloes. The demonsra
ton from the character and Position Of tho gentle
men who participated in it, was of a very imposing
nature Besides Mr.. Dickinson and his leading
friends from various parts Of the State, it had the
sanction ofvc of the members elect TO Congress from
New York city and its vicinity. This is startling
circumstance, and will not be without its effects at
Washington. Mr. Dickinson and other unoihcials
might rail at Abitu-and, however just and forcblc
Their animadversions might be, the Administration
could afford TO DISREGARD them but when 1t comes
TO members OF Congress, who have votes and right
to overhaul the Government, the affair assumes
more serious aspect
Regarding this movement of New York parties as
the most important political Development of the
times, and destined 10 exert great influence
upon the future organization of parties, shall de
vote more space to it than should otherwise do
Tomorrow we will publish Mr.. Dickinson's speech
To-day we will confine ourselves to notice OF
some of the points suggested by the New York
meeting.
Mr.. Dickinson and his party, who embrace all
known to the South sound among the Northern
Democracy, and who head this movement, profess to
be governed by princple-by desire to preserve the
Democratic party from being Abolitonized-from be-
coming mere sgOiLs facton-and from sacrificing the
Constitution and the Union the cupidity and ambi
ton of the Free Sellers. They denounce in vehement
terms this faction of unprincipled agitators-who
now have the confidence and enjoy the avors of the
National Administration them all claim to the
character of DemOcrats-and protest that they them
selves are alonc the Simon Purcs. They profess to
be friendly to Gen. Picrce-but always take care TO
couple their professions Of friendship and pledges Of
support with the condition that he carries out the
principles Of the Inaugural This is a dexterous mode
OF cracking a mans head with his stick. The
mere aluion TO the Inaugural in view of the notor-
Gus fact that all the acts of the Administration
are in conflict with the doctrines Of that paper is
pregnant with biting But while the
''Haris" only coyertly stab the President with a
weapon which he himself has supplied, they less
char, with respect to his Free Soil friends and his
Cabinet advisers. The Premier Mr. Marcy, is openly
and unsparingy denounced. Mr. Brady, lthc candi-
date for Attorney General thus red that gem
tlcman:
~ safety Tor the democratic party but in adhe
renee principles and separation from traitors The
policy Of Cancellation has injured aud inuring
exceedingly Ii has placed the national administration
under the control OF selfish, schemng and vndictve po
tcian whose Van Buren, education has been extrya-
ted and has prostitued high Office the base purpose
of gratifying private resentment Mr. Marcy too is an

audacy Of such men startling IL i about time that
tue ambitious should learn that how eminent
their merit abilities they have prescptiye other
title to the hOnOurs or offices in the gift OF the people, and
that the people will bestOw them WhSm they please
This is very plain truth; but old politicians obsti-
uatcly refuse understand IT, One more lesson IN be
taught them when the next Presidential nomination is
maze. We will take be cheated, and 30 en-

net, the hopes OF the aspiring and the threats OF the
cherous, dust in the balance when compared
with the desire and duty OF the democratic party to
keep IL faith unimpaed aud its escutcheon bright"
This is pretty plain tllkins-sS far the Premier
Is concerned-and it ha very significant auson to
the Brigadier himself They will take care at the
"Crt Presidential election not u be cheated Which
Is very tantamount saying they were cheated
at the last.
1t is quite evident that these gentlemen have not
the fear Of mij,sty before their eyes They have
taken the length Of the Brgadicrs tether-and they
do not dread him. They satisfied that he is no
Gen. JaCkson-and that while he has BETRAYED them
and the principles, which he in common with them
Proessed during the canyass-he is not man to car
~ his rtachcry through triumphanly. At any
rate, they are determined to try conclusions with
him. He may surrender to the Free Soiers-and
attempt TO transfer the Democratic party ticir
der mercits but they resolved resistance
They begin by reading out OF the party all the
President New York supportcrs-and claim fJr
themselves the exclusive right to the name Of De-
mocrats.
In the res buttons, in all tn, speeches that were
made and in all the letters that were written, the
union, which formed in 81 between the IIunkers
and Birnbuncrs, is bitterly denounced Mr. Dick
inson SAYS it was union-buta disgracefu coali-
ton f1r the sake Of the spoils Mr. Clinton and Mr.
Brady and &r. B'1rls'cy al affirm the same thing
and declare, that notwithstanding their professions at
this tune the Frcc Soer- have changed none Of their
principles bat vile agittors aud abolition sis
