The Young "Adamantines" and the Admin
istration- declared.
| A large and spirited meeting of the
Young Mems National Democratic Club,
was held in New York recently. James
7. Brady, Esq. prominent member of
the Club, who had been chosen President,
upon taking the chair, made speech, in
which the Administration is handled with
out gloves. We make single extract. 1t
will be seen'that even the President him.
self is not spared:
| We will tolerate no connexion, as We
feel no sympathy. with men who, whether
combined as mercenary faction under q
stolen name, or arrayed. in the more impos-
ing attitude of an administration, seek to
make the dignity of the Democratic doc
trines, or Of the Democratic party, secon-
dairy to the qualification of individual am
bition of the distribution of political re-
wards. [Great applause. We will no
more hesitate to thwart Cabinet than to
destroy clique, if from any policy what.
ever they attempt to confound the distinc-
ton between the tried soldier, even faith
full to duty, and the renegade who returns
from treachery, clamorous for the spoils Of
our victory, though he labored for our de-
feat Ours is called the age Of progress
Let us see that its progress prove useful
and ennobling. Let US adhere to party
organizations and to party names, while
they truly represent the principles which
they were intended to sustain and charac-
tefize. But let us look beyond all organi-
zation or nomenclature, to the great object
worthy of political eaort-the ascendarcy
of such principles and men as are best cal
culated to ensure theswelfare and glory of
the American people. I Whenever any pub
lie man, false to the duties of the station
he occupies, seeks to convert his office into
mere instrument for promoting the sell
fish schemes of his followers or himself, be
it our desire and effort to Idiscosnht and
disgrace him. And when man, high in
position, who is supposed to partake in
some degree of the large and noble senti-
ments which sway our people stoops from
the eminence he should aim at adorning,
to WELD his influence fin gratifying the
revenge of disappointed ambition, or to
appease the clamors of mercenary poll
ticians, we will expose and dsnounce him
as an object of hatred and scorn. (Great
applause.) Some individuals at Wash
ington, now invested with authority, which
the people gave, and which the people
can take away. suppose that a President
and his Cabinet may dictate to the Dem
ocratic party in this State how they should
exercise their political power. We will
teach them a lesson, as we have already
taught one to Van Buren. (Applause.)
We will wait patiently, but with stern
resolution, for the time to instruct these
usurpers, that officers and honors belong
not to the incumbents, but to the people,
and that we wage a war Of extermlnation
against all politicians, in or out of of1cs,
who would exercise the power of govern
ment to intimidate the humblest citizen
in the. exercise of his rights. Franklin
Pierce and Mr.. Guthrie have no unsatis-
fed claims on this country. (Applause.)
The existence or talents of neither is es-
senital to our progress or prosperity. We
could fill their places tomorrow with abler
and better men; and we here warn them
that il they continue to be led by the willy
and corrupt Marcy, we will assign them,
and all who unite with them in their des-
picable political treachery, to the impo-
tency they will SO richly deserve. Great
Applause } 4o.
