ALBANY, 9Th March, 1s1S
IN COMMITTEE.

In CoAA1TTEE,
The Young men Of the city of Albany and
Rights, haEe organized Corresponding Com
m1ttee; the more Immediate object OF which
Is to insure the success Of the Peace candf-
dates at the ensuing election. Upon this
subject VIC take the liberty to address ypu-.
to state to you our views. and to ask Of. you
Sensible as you must be Of the alarming
situation Of our public concerns, yet it can
not be too often reiterated, that the most in.
valuable rights, nay the very existence Of the
nation, hangs aWfn1ly dubious;'' and that 1t
Is alone the strenuous exertions Of all good
men that can avert the impending evil. We
dare not hope that the administration Of the
general government will adopt course Of
measures different from the present, while
they are supported by the commercial states.
They have declared a WAR, which If they arc
permitted to continue, can effect bat one re-
sult-oGR NATIONAL RUIN. The state of New
York, In agricultural and commercial enter
prise, wealth, population, and territorial ex-
tent, holding proud pre-: :eminence, ia justly
entitled to q powerful influence In the federal
government Tie legislative and executive
organs Of this state haTe heretofore nude US
the abettors Of that weak and wicked policy
which has para1ized the hand Of industry,
destroyed onr commerce, cut off our revenue,
degraded our character with the indelible /
stain Of foreign fayoritism, and inyolyed. us in
war without means, defenseless, and at tho
mercy Of a powerful enemy.
The people Of this state at their late elec-
tions lave evinced an ahhorrence Of this poi
icy. 4 large majority Of our last congress
sioDal representation, as we'll as the popular
branch Of onr state legislature, are the friends
of Peace. Our executive, Gov. Morgan, is
the determined and jealous advocate for war |
To him, as the chief, magistrate Of this i'm. |
portant section Of the union, the ndminfstra- |
tion look for the sentiments of Its electors. |
He has echoed their Wishes promulgated |
their doctrines, and promoted their schemes. |
As long as our sutrages are bestowed on such |
men, 20 long shall we be considered Us sup- /
porters Of. the war, and the administration |
pe1sevc1e In. Should the electors
In the frst state in the union raise their voice
against 1t, the daring will be appalled,, the |
prudent reflect. We therefore candidly de-
clare to you, that We believe It. our solemn
and imperious' duty to use all lawful and hon
orable means to remove from places Of trust
and influence all who arc attached to the, war
The change must be immediate, and total
No period could be 'more favorable to effect
1t than the present. Never In: this country,
sInce the formation Of our admirable govern
ment was there an object 80 important, Our
opponents too arc aware Of it. No art,WiTl

sentatlon that will not be resorted to. no
