DEMOCRACY IN THE EAST.

uuenCe on thAt occasion. By ORDER OF the
COMMITTEES OF ARRANGEMENT
DEMOCRACY IN THE East.
1t il almost incredible what immense
mass meetings the Democrats Of the
Eastern cities in Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania and other states are hol-
ding. The people are SO thoroughly
awakened from the terrible nightmare
of Black kcpublicanism, aud 50 alive
to the absolute necessity Of rallying to
the supper, of the only party which
supports the Constitution and the Uni
on AS they are, that their mass meet
ings are described rs being oceans of
living bodies, too numerous for the
range of single speakers voice, com
polling the vast thronCs TO divide int"
separate masses, and be addressed hv a
number Of speakers at the same time
1t is no man worship of James Rucha
nan which calls such multitudes to9cth-
er- though all recognize in our stan
,lard bearer one of the nohlcst, ahlcst,
pnrcst of American citizens, patriots
and statesmen. 1t is the voice Of
Washington speaking TO the people
from the tomb on Mount Vernon, that
ait is a matter Of serious concern, that
any ground should have been furnish
ell for charactcrizing parties Lv geo
graphical Determinations - Northern
or Southern - Eastern or Western -
whence DESIGNING MEN may endcavor
IL excite belief that there is real
difference of local sntcrcsts and views"
II warns the patriots soul to see such
AN enlivening of the masses to sense
of the real dangers which beset the
Union in the formation Of the geo
graphical Republican Party, which
procaims that without the Sonth they
will elect their man, rule the slavehol
ding States with an intolcrant spirit,
and in the language OF Banks, in re
cent speech in Massachusetts, never
allow the minority to break the bands
of Union, but s,p,Ecv them, whether
the government is that Of monarchy,
or that Of an absolute dcspotism."
Such language Of treason, in which
a sectional party assert that if they
gain the power Of the whole Union
bv the aid of only one half of the
States, they will carry forward their
schemes Unconstitutional aggression,
and coerce the South into obedience,
does indeed present fearful issue for
the people Of this country to try. No
wonder that patriots are waking mp to
put forth arms in defence Of Liberty
No wonder that the ground trembles
with the laundering tread Of the ava
kened masses Of the Democracy, who
have at last shaken of all apathy, as
did the heroes of Bunker Hill, and
seem determined, il the case require,
to lose their lives in defending their
country. We are penetrated with the
conviction that the people Of this Uni
on are too enlightened to be cheated
out Of the blessed heritage transmitted
to us by the Fathers Of the Revolution,
and cheated, too, by set Of political
knaves, who care no more for the
Constitution, than they do for the en-
peror Of China.
We are about to initiate our Eastern
brethren in this State, and hold seri-
es Of Grand Democratic Mass Meetings
where the most eminent speakers Of
the Union will deliver addresses, and
we hope to see . general outpouring
Of the masses Of the people Of all par
tea, to listen to the discussion of the
momentous issues before the country.
In Muscatme, on Tuesday next, there
will Be great Mass Meeting, addres-
sed BY the ablest democratic orators in
the nation. Let all attend, and before
doing 20, cut outthe following portion
Of Washington's farewell address to his
countrymen, and paste It in their peck. |
