Gentlemen: Your letter of the 16th tont,'
iiwitteg me to meet the citizens of - Shenandoh,
Rockingham, and Page, at New Market, on
Friday the tlOth day of August, reached mb a
day or two agoond I take the earliest ma
meet to acknowledge the receipt.
Did-.my health permit, I should derive the
`highest grntification from , accepting your
' invi
tation ; but indisposition of teeny months con
tinnanco admonisheame-to decline it.
- I should rejoice to meet the " Tenth Le
gion " in all its strength—to interchange saki,
tationsf with the unbending end , inflexible ad
:vacates of those principles, upon the , maie
tenttnee of which depends, as I solemnly be;.
lieveithe perpetuity of the government under
which it is our happiness to live. In this-day
raid-at-this hear, a necessity greater than has
ova; before existed demands a rally on the
putter every lever of the peace and quiet of
tae country, in support of the- principles which,
have canonized the Jefferaonian era; and ev
tirrbanner should have Inscribed upon it con
/aeration against cmisoalatien. I The- spirit
his. beeti unceasingly manifested, to convert
the government, by a broad and unwarranted,
e instruction of the coustitutim, into a nation
al and unit system, wherein a majority:power
shall rule supreme, and the States bo red - need
to the condition of mere provinces of one 'vast
umpire; and this spirit has'of late years ex
hibited itself still more extravagantly and dan
gerous in the bold acid daring attempt on the
part of a portion of the inhabitants of some
of the States to interfere and control the inter
pal structure of society in other States—a mat-
ter in which the States are quite mi foregin to
each other as if they were separated by bound
less 'oceans. What can excuse; Much less jus-
tify, such interference, otherthen the belief on
the part of those who are guilty of it, that the
government is national and - not federative, and
therefore subject to the _unlimited action and
eontrol, of a t oagressional majority which they,
smlt in every way to attain. But one oth.
rr anpposition can exist : and thht is, that the
agitators, under the influence of a morbid sett
ti,nentalism, earnestly desire.the destruction
of the Union—a supposition I should be Un
willing to endulge as to any ' American-born
ritizen, or ono capable of apprectiating lice
important. blessings Which 'Union bestoivs.
Let us, then, with our united voices, proclaim
the great truth that the government is the etlea
ture of a compact between sovereign Steea,
who have grunted to a common agent . ep i
fled and limited powers to be administered or
the common benefit according to the letter of
the grant; and not otherwise '; and that who is
stipulated to be done, is equally obligat ry
t
upon the contracting parties, as the oppos te.
That constitutional compact appeals to e
good faith of each of those Stites and its an
habitants, and upon its observance the perfte
tatty of this great and glorious republic tie.'

Democratel ofSw3quithanna!
One of the most important political cam
paigns that has ever occurred in the history of
the nountry, is rapidly drawing to a close. , In
less than two weeks a result will be announced.
on which depends, in a great degree, the hopes_
of the entire American Democracy. The voice
that shall go up from Pennsylvania, one week
from next Tuesday,--the Keystone of the ,
Amen= Confederacy, lying as she does, deep
ly embedded in the great Arch of the Union,
will- shake that Arch to its extremities, and
most likely decide the contest for November.
Now, fellow Democrats, are you awake to
the importance of the work before you ? Have
yon counted the chances of the contest„-set.
tied upon your duty as Democrats, and fixed
in your minds that stern resolve -41g heart.
fixed Turpose that will yield before no tide of
opposition, and which insures a certain and
roost Icomple6 victory? Have you not ob.
served around you the never-yielding though
oft-dereated and implacable foe to-tho great
Democratic principle of tho world, already
marshalled and in the field, laboring for the
success of nothing, but animated by one age
less opposition to you, your men and your
measures—"ready to sink the last Democrat
in the golf of strife, and to drag their artillery
over,his quivering body to the annihilation of
principles l" Casting a glance over the field,
you find a great party arrayed against..yeti—a
party that has been defeated as often as it dare
come before the. Ameriean people aid pro.
claim its true doctrines, or expose its real
objects. The whole policy of the govern.
ment—every leading Measure of the country,
that has given to the country its unpamlleled
prosperity, has sprung from the Democratic
pity. ' All-these, for the good of the COMs
try, must be perpetuated; and how can that be
done, in full force and vigor, save in the hands
of their projectors to earry out? We must
not only have democratic , measures, but dem
ocratic, men to guide their workings.
The Whigs now, throwing aside al} the doe-
Wines of their party in '44 and '4B, claim to be
u 1
yety democratic! They.do not propose epen•
ly to change in any essential 'part, the demo.
crude policy 'of the government. They say
not a word about the Tariff, Bank, Distribu
tion, or -any of their- oft repudiated doctrines
of old, but point - to their :'embodiment of the
ruin of all Republics, a military man and the
military principle," and ask for these the sup.
port of Democrats. Let us tell you, there is
a gulf so 4eep and wide that it never yet has
been spanned—a wall of fire so high that it
, bag never-yet ben scaled, between the princi.
plea of Democracy and Federalism. Shall
those be broken over nowehalt the partition

subside, and men and princiPles stand' out, in
their true cola's.. The contest wears no
gloomy forebodings - 16 Democrats, butall con
fident of success we wait the - approacis;of that
day to demonstrate once more that principles
will be sustained against blind hillsides and
wilful calumniators. It is exceedingly,grati
tying, to learn that all parts of the 'county
unite generally to the support of the ticket,
and especially that the west where thii, bolt
era claimed their greatest strength, staid firm

every days report point unerringly to a more
than usual Democratic majority in this county,
and the majorities fur-the ticket in the other
counties of the district will be overwhelming. i
Democrats Beware.
It is perfectly astonishiag what low t ; impu
dent, and' isgusting fabrications are put in
circulation in reference, to Mr. Chase. The
whole atmosphere is loaded down with 'calum
ny, secretly put in circulatioi, just on the eve
of election, in order that there shall be no op
portunity to refute. them. Truth seeks no
covert and fears no scrutiny. She alviays
speaks early, frankly and openly. But fake.
hoods like the subtile serpent always hide in
secret places and strike their poisonotti fangs
in the dark. The only way for DemoCrats is
to pay no heed to them, regarding them as
they are; sot afloat by the most desperate per;
sons for the most desperate purposes.', The
very fact that it is so, furnishes addition i al rea
sons why Democrats should stand by and de
fend him. D.

Among the leading Whigs of Baltimore,
who have-declared for Pierce and King, is
GustavUs W: Lurmsai, Esq., a wealthy and
distinguished Gerfatin merchant, and formerly
a Whig candidate for the 'Legislature.
Mr. Lurman has not only declared for Pierce
and King, but is, we. learn, • helping in: their
election by affording "material aid." The

Mr. Lurman's accession to our ranks is one

General Scott expected . to _make something

,
This -: has swept over the State of
Maine something: like a small tempest, upset
ting everything in its course, producing a vast
arnount'of confusion• and rendering confusion
itself worse confounded.' 'lt has baffled the
politicians, - andAriven them'to- - sea, • without
chart or compass. Let us see if we cannot
gather something -valuable from the wreek.—'
In the find place we learn that the. Whig par
ty have been utterly demolished in the storm.
There were four candidateXfor,Governor, and
the result is as follows: .
Crosby, (Whig,)' - 1 . 11;908
Hubbard, (Dem. and Maine Law) -_ .25,312
Chandler, (Dem. and anti Maine Law,) 11,513
Neal Dow; (author of the Maine Law,) 693
It, will be - thus seen, that the Whigs have
been cut up root mid. branchln this election. -,
