Philadelphia Correspondence.
Piitr.ADELfiiiA, Juno 1, 1803.
Col. Levi L. Tate,
My Dear' Sir'. A temporary illness,
last week, prevented me, ab I designed and
desired to do, to despatch a letter hence
for pastimo in tho columns of the Colum
eia Dlmooeat.
This is tho night which is lo witness, no
doubt ono of tho greatest, most earnest
gatherings of the people ever assembled in
the city of Philadelphia. It is drawn to
gether in defenco of tho grand old Demo
oratio elementary principles of free speech,
free press, and the inviolability of loyal
citizenship. It meets to oppose, in a con
stitutional way, tho alarming aggressions
which this dusky administration is making
upou tin dearest rights of the people
rights which were supposed to have been
vindicated on tho sacred battle-fields of
tho Revolution consecrated by the best
blood ever shed in the cause of human
freedom meets' in defenco of the great
principles of tho Constitution meets to
promote, so far as it can legitimately so
do, the healing of those, wanton wounds
inflicted by the dirk-knives of JJlack Re
publican demagogues in years gone by,
upon the body of the Republic, which
Democrats ever loved, but which Black
Republican Chandler, Senator from Mich
ijian, in a letter to tho Governor of his
Stato, written whilst patriots were strug- i
gling to avert this war in the Winter of
1600-01, that "it would not be ivorth a
curse without a littlo uloou-lctling" to
defend the Union and the Constitution. !
At tho moment of thh present writing.
(3 o'clock, p. in.,) rumors arc floating
through our streets of intended mischief
at tho hands of Mr. Lincoln's emissaries.
I do not share in those apprehensions, but
I am bound to confess that my confidence
rests more upon Democratic constitutional .
ability and determination to defend itself,
than upon any respect which mouarchial
Republicanism is taught to entertain for
the rights of those untroubled by the great I
administration malady of "nigger on tho
brain."
For tho proceedings of this great meet-
ing, I shall refer you to the columns of1
the Democratic press of Philadelphia 1
particularly tho "Acie" which has, (al-,
low nic to say,) during its brief existence,
succeeded in winning the confidence of the j
Democracy, and what is far more to iin
ciedit, the deepest hatred of the supporters j
()f omcstis imperialism of Black Kcpub
lican autocracy. Probably no man of'
jed itcrary ac.-omn!isliments I
stauds at the head of the American press
i to-day, than Mr. CTrund, while the sterling, ,
uucoinproniisiiig Democracy of Mr. Gloss- j
brenuer, coupled with his great businoss
land financial qualities, stamps him as pn-
.cisciy tno "rigiit man in tlio risut nlace." :
j Of Mr. Welch, the third partner, I can '
only say that he occupies a distinguished
legal position here, aud is uuiversally
esteemed, not only for his intellectual I
ability, but for the possession of those
