S I{lT STIR RING MEET-
ING.
A few of the Whige of the•city and county
of Philadelphia, some fifteen hundred or two
thousand,' had an impromptu meeting on
Wednesday evening, at their reading room,
corner Of Filth and Chestnut streets, which
was got r •uP at a moment's warning, for the
purpose of hearing General Richard.K. Call,
late Gu't'ernor of Florida, - speak upon the
political ;topics of the day.
General Call, it must be recollected, al.
a at, s has been, and is not?, a Jackson man,
and on old school Democrat; but he is, at
the same time, a thorough going, true b'ue
Whig.
Previous to the appearance of Gen. - Call,
who arrived in town that day, Edward I.
Morris, Esq., lately returned from a tour
through 'Western Europe, Greece, Egypt,
the Land of Edom, and 'Palestine, was.called
upon by the chaff: man, Bela Badger, Esq ,
to address the meeting, and cheerfully-Corn.
plied. • For about half an hour bespoke with
great effect, alluding to what he had seen in
his recent tour of hard.money countries, and
people g round to the dust in those countries,
borne down and kept •down as they were by
the hard money, no credit system. He was
interrupted by the entrance of General C.,
who was received with three cheers by the
meetin g . So soon as Mt. Morris concluded,
Gen. C . was called upon and addressed the
assembly. Ile commenced by endeavouring
to impress
,upon the Whip the. importance
of constant, unrelaxed, and vigorous action.
They had numbers upon their side, but they
had a well organized, a thoroughly disci.
plined, and an ever vigilant band to contend
with, a band well supplied, too, with all the
munitions of war from the treasury.
He spokithen of the practice of the Loco
foco party denouncing every man as a Fede
ralist, and an enemy to Andrew Jackson,
who would net -support Martin Van Buren.
This charge every man in the room, he said,
'knew to - he false: he himself pronounced it
false. The:ffrat breath he ever drew was
.democratic-- , the_son of a rovolutionary sire,
had 'been nurtured in democracy from
his infancy--hii had ever been, and was now,
a democrat. To:charge him and others like
.him with federalism was a libel. He said
that equally false and calumnious was it to
say 'that he was the enemy of Andiew Jack
son. :An otphan, at the age of eighteen he
left school and entered the army under Jack
son, who had been his patron and friend; he
was now his friend; he had been with him in
every battle lie ever fought save one; he had
seen him and'been with him under the most
trying circumstances, and such was hislove
anaevotion to him, that werehis life to be
purchased Qr saved by giving his own, he
would unhesitatingly make the sacrifice!—
and, said 'he, indignantly, will they charge
me with being an enemy to Jackson! He
spurned the charge as false, and those who
made it aslase calumniators, who were
themselves,,no friends of General Jackson,
but only desired to turn his deserved popula
rity with the people to account, and make
political , and. pecuniary profit of it." Gen.
Call then meet on to show how inconsisten
ero the_measures and,-acts of Mr. Van But
rcn with the genuine principles ni.de,mocra
co, and that he had taken to his embrac
and confidence every ultra federalist in .the
United States that could be induced to be
cpme bis friend and supporter, and instanced
many distinguished federalists who were
opposed to the last war, and rejoiced at the
victeries of our enemies„ or, like Mr. Van
Buren, vuly..supported it,,,if s at all, by, talk,
not by taking arms and exposing their per
sons. He asked where Air. Van Buren was .
during the war? He was then a man of ia

too busy himself at the South to take much
notice, at the time, Of the movements of
Harrison at the Northwest; but he had a
brother, now no more,: with him at the Bat
tle of the Thames, and from him,-as well as
from•the mouths ..f others, he had•heard df
the skill and bravery of 'General Harrison!
And this is the man, said General C., they
denounce as a federalist and a coward!
Blistered be the tongue that can utter such
a slander.- It was never uttered by a brave
man, no brave man ever slandered a gallant
soldier, and if any one.should say that Liar-
rison was a coward or lacked skill, ask him
if he was present, said General C.—ask him
if he heard the bullets whistle, and if he met
the enemy?—and if he tells you be did, / say
he tells a falsehood. No man ever fought
under or with Harrison, but will testify to
his bravery and his Skill as aCreneral.
General C. then alluded to the pretence
of Mr. Van Buren walking in the footsteps
of General Jackson, and snowed how totally
unlike the two men were. Mr.Van'Buren
like General Jackson! The very thought
was ridiculous. He walk in the footsteps of
General Jackson! His legs were not long
enough. As well might the creeping insect
compare itself with the .noble war horse, as
Mr. Van Buren with'.General Jackson. And
for him to say that all who were not his
friends were Jucicson's , enetnies, was ridicu
lous.
Mr. Van 'Buren . tend his satelites pretend
to be the friends of the people. Yes, they
were iheiriends of people, just as the shark
is the friend of the small fit , h—because it
lives upon them. - When the Son of Man
was betrayed, said Gen.'C•, it was by a to
ken of friendittip; when these demagogues
come about the people, pretending to love
them and 'to be their friends, let them be
ware; they want no such friends; they need
none; 'they are sovereign, and they are
courted only because they have power,
which these demagogues want to get from
them. 'Let them, then, remember that A
due betrayed with a kiss, and since the days
of Judas himself, he did not believe he had
been more accurately ,personified than by
'the little Knickerbocker.
He asked. and called on any man in the
room to tell him if he• could, what Martin
Van Buren had ever done for the country to
deserve the high office that had been confer
red upon him? He knew of not a single 'great
or meritorious act or measure of which he
was the author; not one; and if any man
would name one, he should be glad to hear
what it was. Mr. Van Buren had not even
the merit of being a Jackson man until he
found Jackson was strong• and irresistibly
popular, dud then he wriggled himself into
his bosom, became his pet, and contrived to
get the old hero to put him into his chair
when he was about to leave it; and theiwon
der was to every one how he got there, or
why he should be in a place God and nature
never designed trim for! It was a disgrace to
the country to elevate such a person to the
highest station, when we had so many able
men every way fitted for the office, and so
competent to discharge its important duties.
As for Mr. Van Buren, he believed there
was not a county in the State of Pennsylva
nia that could not furnish one or more men
better qualified for the office of Chief Magis.
trate than he was.
General C. spoke of the enthusiasm-of the
West, and the awakening of the South, and
assured the meetintz that there could be no
doubt but the people had determined , to put
out Mr. Van Buren, and try the brave and
able Harrison, and nothing could prevent
them from carrying this determination into
effect. He assured them that his own gal-
lant State, Tennessee, was coming to the
rescue, and would certainly be found under
the banner of Harrison, notwithstanding the
popularity of his old friend and chief. Gene
ral. Jackson. North Carolina, too, he said
was mile, beyond a doubt; and in fact, said
he Mr. Van Buren cannot count with cer
tainty upon a single southern State, except
South Carolina. The Whigs had, therefore,
every reason to take courage and persevere
unto the end, for a glorious deliverance from
the present imbecile and rotten administra-
tion which awaited them.
General C. sat down amid reiterated
cheers, and Mr. John Sergeant being called
for, rose and said, as it was late, and as they
had been so deeply entertained and instruct
ed by the gentleman who had so eloquently
addressed' them, he would only detain them
long enough to relate en anecdote he had"
lately heard on , the,floor of Congress, related
by a gallant man, but who differed from him
in politics. He stated that when the night
attack was made upon -the -British in the
swamp below New Orleans, some days pre
vious to the battle of the eighth, the troops,
were at one time aware that a'body of men
were in front of them, and were firing upon
them; but such was the darkness, that they
could not tell friend from foe, and were ; ap•
prehensive that if they returned the , fire, it ,
would be but to kill their friends. , this
dilemma, said Mr. Sergeant, a young ,man.
• left the American line, and advanced near
enough to the ;body of troops in, front of
them to perceive the colour of their -coats by
the light of the flash df their own muskets.
Those he discovered were red, and of course
knew.. they were the enemy.- With the ins
formation, be returned to the American line,
and informed our troops of the character of
those in front, whereupon tke latter were
immediately charged, upon and compelled to
retreat. - ,That gallant young man, said Mr.
S. was he who has so.eloqueptly addressed
you this evening. - Upon this announcement,
the house rang .with =the, reiterated shouts
and buzzes of those present, who seemed to
be, for w few minutes,carzied away- with en

Before the meeting adjourned, Mr. E. I
Morris offered a,resolution of thanks to Gen.
Call for his, interesting and eloquent address,
whidh was adopted by acclamation.—U.
Slates Gaiette.
Mr. Forsyth.—h seems to be a very di
'fficult task to make the Secretary of State
draw true in the harness, or forget that he
is's gentleman; at least vie should so judge
by the following from the Aladisonian-:
" The Secretary of state. in his letter to
the loco.foao convention recently held at
Milledgeville, the metropolis of his own
State, gives' en pasaint, a slap, in the chops
tnliendall,lllair, and the rest of the misera
ble scribblers, who, without possessing any
characterfor themselves, are busily engaued
in traducing General Harrison. Mr. For
syth allude* to his long ;acquaintance with
•General Harrison,' and their ' kind personal
intercourse for 'many years; and intimates
that it would be an offence' to that ac
quaintance and intercourse . , if he were to
call in question his (General Harrison's)
ability, or his disposition to promote the
honor and &asperity of his country, accord.
ing to the principles and opinions that have
governed his political life.' "
Mr. Forsyth is the present Secretary
of State under Mr. Van Buren.
Good.--The following excellent senti
ment was sent by the Hon. JOHN M. Bows
to the, great Harrison Festival lately'held in
Alexandria,
,to which he was invited, but
could not attend:
"Our opponents selected as their motto
—4O the victors belong the spoils; andahey
have taught us to feel its force. Let us
select as ours—to the vanquished we should
be moderate and just—and teach them that
there are no 'Spoils in Government fur honest
men."
An excellent Sentiment.—The late anni•
versary of our Declaration of Independence
has. been fruitful 'in excellent sentiments,
both political, moral, emperate and jocose.
Among the best is one by Speaker Win.
throe, of Massachusetts, which• he delivered
at Bridgewater, and prefaced thus:
No Massachusetts-man, said he, could fail
to feel a peculiar pride as he casts his eve
over the great Declaration, which had made,
this day immortal, at finding at the head of
the roll, and written in that noble hand
which seemed to have been destined for that
precise distinction, the name of JOHN HAN
cocc—one•of the proscribed Massachusetts
patriots, whom the British General express
ly excepted from his proclamation of pardon,
in 1775. Now, it was owing to the act of
BENJAMIN HARRISON, of Virginia, the fa
ther of WILLIAM HENRY, that Massachu
setts enjoyed its proud pre-eminence on the
roll Of Indepiindence. It was related thatt
when the Continental Congress were about
to chose a President, Benjamin Harrison re
signed his own pretensions, and took John
Hancock by the hand and placed him in the
chair, exclaiming,' We will show Mother
Britaio how Much we care for her, by taking
a Massachusetts man whom she so unjustly
proscribed'
Mr. Winthrop then proposed the -follow
ing sentiment—
" The Whigs of Massachusetts--They
will do towards WILLIAM HENRA' HARM
sow, of Ghia,: what his father did towards
their" own Joie HAwcocs, and "show the
tories how much we care for them, by taking
as our President, The man whom they have
so unjustly prescribed."

Washington.
Votes or '"l6.—The Newburg N. Y. Gazette,
contains thelolloiring eloquent letter from tla NJA.ltlux
Ekros, one of the Life Guards of General Wash
ington.
To the descendants of Revolutionary Soldiers
An old soldieripf the Continental Army asks for the
last time to speak to his countrymen. During the
suffering service of the Revolution I was in sixteen
engagements, and wan one of the little band who ,
volunteered under Sullivan to destroy "the Six Na
tions of Indians." I was one of that emdll company
selected as the Life Guard of George Washington—
lint two of us are now living. I was at the tough
siege of Yorktown, at Valley Forge, Monmouth, and
thirteen other hard battles, and saw Cornwallis sur
render to our old General. My service ceased only
with the war. After all'this hardship end suffering,'
in the street when I go out in my old age tO see the
happiness I have helped to give you, I am pointed at
as a 13111TISa TORT —yea* a Barmen
have said nothing when I have been told so, but have
silently -thought that my old General would never
have picked out a Tory to form one of his Life
Guard, nor would a Tory have suffered what I have
suffered for you. This abuse has been shamefully
heaped uponone' of your old soldiers because he is
what he was when the war broke out, and whet
Washington told us we must always be when he
shook-hands with us as we all were going home. I
was a Whig in the Revolution, have been one 'ever
since and am one now. As a Whig I enlisted for
the whole war, was in favor with the other Whigs
of Thomas Jefferson, went with the patty for-James
-Madison, was in lave! of -the last war, and to be
consistent in my last 'vote, must give it for Gen.
Harrison. • He is:a brave man, and was never known
wherever he has been to take a penny from his
neighbor or, the Government that was not fairly his.
We hive trod over the same ground fighting for lib•
erty.• His father, (he was one of the 'Revolution)
.signed our Independence roll, end then we all went
out together. In fight for it, end we proved it was
true.
It really appears to me that this cannot be the same
government that our old soldiers helped Washing=
to put uplere.

.keeping soldiers in time of peace. Our itreets are
ffilted with idle men who were active laborers once
when emplbyment was to be had. The men of en
terprize who once employed them have been ruined
by the government- And now these holiest but un
employed laborers are told by the government that
when they ge to work again they must do it for a
few cents a: day—that labor must he as cheap here
as it is among the slaves of Cuba or the slaves of
Europe. Ambition and ignorance on the part of our
Government have shut up our shops and stores, scut
tled our ships, filled our streets with idleness and
bankruptcy and given no encouragement to the far
mer as he looks at his grain. Are not these things so?
You know they are, and I have no motive in saying
what may he false—l em too far advanced for office
or 'any thing else but death—it will soon be here.
My little pension, and I thank you for it, will soon
stop and I go borne with the rest of the Life Guards.
There is one remedy only for the safety of the coun
try I have served. Put other men to stand at the
tiller and round the cables, and you will soon be
back on the old Constitutional track. Gen. Harnson
is honest, he never deceived you and he never lost a
battle, and the People wont let him lose this. Ac
cept my advice and you all have my blessing—my
advice is that all of you become the Life Guards of
the country, and my blessing is that your old age may
hove less fears for liberty than mine.

Log Cabins and Hard Cider.—Extract from
Mr. Dunlap's Speech at Pittsburgh, in defence of
Log Cabins:
Why is the Frigate Constitution so dear to our
countrymen Why does every one of us covet a
cane or a snuff box fabricated of her bulwarks 7
Why does every man desire her preservation as
long as a plank remains of her 1 She is but a mere
combination of iron and wood. But she embodies
in her history the bravery and skill of our navy.—
She carried our name tnumphautly over the broad
ocean, and brought terror and destraction upon the
enemies of our country. Yet she is nothing but oak
and pine, the very materials of a true log cabin.
She is Me log cabin of the Hero of the sea, and ours
is the log cabin of the Heroofthe land. Rally around
it, Democrats, it is the emblem of the hardyotraighl,
out hard fisted, rugged pine knots that keep ip its
fires.
Why should we abandon this emblem of petrietistrb
and integrity, and freedom 1 It is rough and humble;'
it is a mere pile of logs, but it is associated with a
thousand pleasing images and joyous aspirations—
And what is the flag of our country 1 Mere bunting - -
-mere bits of striped bunting, as the . British sneer
iugly denominated it before they fully learned to es-'
timate its tremendous power. Is there no enthusiasm
breathing film its folds as it flutters to the Heavens?
Are no patriotic assotcations connected with it? Is
there any man's heart dead to the glorious reminis
cences that play in brilliant coruscations around the
stripes and stars of his country's flag—whose heart
does not bounce at beholding it streaming like a
meteor to the wind-=floating over the ships and bat
tlements of his country I—the Star spangkd banner
that floats over the laud of the free and the home of
the brave ! It has borne our armies and navies in
pride and triumph in the strife of battle. It rushes to
victory at the glorious conflict of the Maumee. It
waved defiance over the intrenchments of Fort Meigs.
and scattered dismay at the battle of the Thames.
Fellow citizens, the sneers of the destructivea at
the Log Cabin edifice are like the sneers of the Eng
lish at the bunches of pine boards and bite df bunting
of our frigates, till Decatur, and Hull, and Perry,
and M'DonnOugh, turned their smiles 'to sighs—as
will Ohio, and Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and New
York, induce our Misguided friends to show respect
to and seek their shelter under the broad and 'hospit- ,
able reef of the Log'Cabin Fiirmer.
I like, too, the hard cider cry.; we•oure it to the
enemy. It is a pledge of temperanee. The affected
pretext of its leading to indulgence, as urged with .
grief and bittemeas,•comes well from those who once
had danced around the polei a hickory, and tossed
their caps in excited revelry to its branches. Who
drink hard cider I No one who can get any 'thing
else. Where, would you go to a public gathering
less likely to be intemperate than to the Hard 'Cider,
Cog Cabin, Tippecanoe raising 1 At Bertver,'on the
4th of 3 tily i llie only public
, political mecting,l. have
attended, there was nothing to drinl..provided, I BM
happy to say, but ice water. At the, raising of the
log-cabmin Allegheny e few days ago, where it is
said thousands of hard cider men were actively en
gaged, no stimulants, I am cold, were provided or
drank. Hard'Cider is a mare appellation of amuse-
ment, and is as good an antidote to intemperance as
a friend of ternpraance could desire. Make the Loco
'foam swallow it—put it at them, and put it into theta.
It will nut their phlegm ; it will purge their humours ;
it will wash the bile artheir stomachs, end improve
their aye sight. Though intended, .Yankee
Doodle, as a pass word of , contempt, it has been
tarried, like that exhilarating toe, into the rallying
.cry of freedom and reform

no sooner do we hear of these proud 16 7 ,

malicious calumny propagates the slander

in all these gatherings of the multitu des with

that there is "death in the pot,"--- 7 in 7 trutb,

trust the British Government will no be le4

to encourage the tee-totalers in their crusade
against the monster intemperance. ,Though
this movement may happen to be simultane

Van Buren and Me TarS:—Van Buren, has
written a letter in praise of the Independent; reasuri
and eulogistic of his own administration. In com
menting upon the acts of his- predececsorf f thus
speaks 61 the Tariff, internal imprctatents and a
National Bank. and we believe it is e only para
graph in which he does not go upon \he non-com
mittal principal

high protective tariff, a system of internalimprovi.
ments, and a National Bank, was then twined around
the sleeping giant in the vain hope of subjitCting him
forever to the dominion and wilt of the ambitioui
and grasping few ; and you have seen ho he hes
scattered the whole to the winds when roused by the
warning voice of the honest and Intrepid - Jackson."
The friends of a tariff and internalimpriavements
may infer from this what favor they are to expect
from this administration ; especially when thli
fol
lowing article from Mr. Calhoun, Van Buren's basoen
friend, is taken in connection with it. In' a recent
letter to his political friends, Mr. Calhoun holds the
following language ;
0 But this •is not all that has been done. Much
still remains to be added, and among theot, I rejoice
to state, that the system of a protective tariff, so pre
eminent in mischief, is about to,,expire-Yes, thit
system which has done so much to divide, enddis
tract our country ; to corrupt one portio n and int 7
prove and .alienate the other ; which 'poured into the
treasury so many millions beyond the wants of the
Government, extinguishing , by its effects the spirit
of economy, and substituting profusion, ezhayspnes
and waste, is gasping, I trust its last breOth ; and,
with it the connected and kindred system of lawleu
expenditures on , objects not authorized bykthe Con:
stitution."
