influential citizen of Northern lAtisconsin, who

is 1044 n as a sterling Democrat.l He goes over
the:whole ground, and his,appeals arc caleula
tedto arrest the action of those democrats who
are inclined to take up a third candidate. • The
issue, as he prover, must be Cads or Taylor.
Votes given to )Ir. Van Buret are thrown
away. They may elect, raylori f but cannot
carry Van Buren. The writer proceeds with
sound reasons tol urge the proprinty and neces,,
city of all genuine free soil demeprats to stand
by theirtimb- honored banner, under which they'

mli. BUCHAAAN,
Tol the Ileineenitk Mau Meeting held in the
City if Wukingtan, en Friday evening week.
kr. BUCHANAN, after having returned his
acknOwledgtuents to the alumerctus and respect
able assembly of Denioerata for the honor which
they had conferied upon him by visiting him
atihi§ own mansion, proceeded to address the
meting as follows :
Penni& me to congratulate,you,
lens, upon the cheering news from Ohio. We
have reason to rejoice that the Democracy of
that:noble State. under the lead of the gallant
and accomplished Weller, although they may
n4t, have quite succeeded in electing
i him Gov
erhor, have yet achieved' a triumph n the gen
eral result, which gives us firm assurance of a
still more glorious victory in November.
But what shall I say to you of Pennsylva
niplF I know the object of your visit is to
learn something of the prospects of the Democ
raoy' in that great and good old Commonwealth,
frtim one of her most devoted sons.
Ithe fact, I regret to say, can no longer be
diirputed or denied that she has elected a Whig
Gbvernor. Lonistreth, our candidate, and a
Dlmocrat, every way worthy of this high office,
his been defeated by less, it is believed, than
00 votes; but to counterbalance 'this misfor-
tune, Painter, a sterling Democrat, has been
elected Canal Commissioner by a majority of"
alinet 2000. The worst aspect, therefore,j
which our election can present, is that of a
&awn battle. The decisive .action will be
fonght on the 7th November. On that event
ful
day, the Democracy_ of Pennsylvania may I
hare to decide the question for the Union,
whether their long cherished principles shall'
cdntinue to prevail in the Federal Government,
on whether these shall be 'entirely overthrown'
and reversed bra Whig administration. Shall.
the Keystone Democracy still bear aloft in vic
tory the glorious banner, on which are inscribed,
in •characters of living light, the names of Jef
feison, Jackson, Snyder, bunk, and a boat of
other worthies ; or will they suffer it to be .I
prostrated in the dust ?
I do, not intend upon this occasion to speak
'
mf, , the high personal Character and the eminent
qualifications of Cass and Butler. With Dem-
, ()trate, candidates for office are but the repre-
sehtatives of our principles. We are not men
'
,
warshippers ; and yet, it might be truly said,
that throughout the whole extent of this broad
Union, no more able or worthy - representatives
" of these principles could be found.
j " The contest in Pennsylvania will be severe ;
I Wit with proper exertions on our part, I can
"net consider it doubtful. In deciding this is
i sue, big with the fate of the country, we know 1
that we have no human power on which to re
13t but ourselves. Democrats can never mila-1
Mice with Native Americans, Abolitionists, or"
' famionists bearing any other name. If they;
could do this, they mast abandon their prinei
, pies, and consequently' cease to be Democrats. /
1 They have no other reliance than upon their
oWn indomitable energy for victory over the al
lied forces of the opposition. - This will not de -1
sett them in the hour of need. The greater',
the pressure, the stronger will be the reaction.
I The jinspices era favorable. From the hills.
"and 'the valleys of Pennsylvania, every mail
Ineer brings me cheerful notes of preparation.
Aroused, not disheartened, by the impending
cllinger, they have resolved to redeem the _State,.
aid to bear the flag of Cass and Butler trium
," pliantly through the approaching conflict.— ;
Ihey have determined to adopt a more perfect'
„
ofgamzation, and ; to bring every Democrat to
" the polls. Should they accomplish this ob
ljoliet—as we havo an unquestionable majority
,f the votes—victory, a- glorious victory, will
riward their effortS.
;Let no Democrat lay the flattering unction
tip his soul that the administration of Gen.
Taylor would not be a proscriptive Whig od-
Mininistration.
And here let me observe, that even to secure
the election of Cam and Butler, I would not
niter a disrespectful word against General
Taylor. At the head of our brave troops, he
has performed most brilliant and . efficient, ser
vices, in a just, necessary, and successful war,
aintin that position has greatly contributed to
elevate the character of the country Ihrough-
Ont the world to a point which it had serer
iisebed before. It is, however, no dieparage-

'Dento4acy is founded '

seeks to elevate his condition. Fettered by
nq ancient and absurd prejudice's, it is in its
very taster° progressive., It believes that the
people are their own best frienda, and not their

widnal'enertio' us, restrained by no power ex

spires hiei with an energy which nothing can

And what has been the fruit of a policy based
upon snob principles? With ilia exception of
j
I a few brief years, the !Democracy have admiti- I
I istered the General Goiernment ever since the
cemmencement of the present century. And
!here, since the Alntightifirst placed man up
oit the etirth, has there been any nation to com
p re with ours in rapi ' and substantial iin
provinnetit? It has no it become the Wonder,
ai well as the model of he World. Our pre's
, pirity ha.s known no ebt in its sweeping curse, ,
I except fipm the expanssajbs and contractions•ofj
our paper , currency, auk, the individual ruin
Which this has occasioned. For these tempo
rary rerulsious we are indebted to Whig policy.
,And even for them, to a great extent, Democ-
racy has found a preventifre in the much abused
j Independent Treasury. Whilst this restrains
I , Wild spekulation and ovo-trading on the_part
ref banks and individualK it has at the same
j time afforded the best Bind surest protection to
oomestig manufacturetn,-a great and growing
interest which must
.be l ever dear to the coun
try. '
During, this long period of unexampled-pros
perity, the Whigs have' teen crying out, ruin—
ruin 4ecording to their', we have been ruined
by almost every. prominent Democratic measure
which has been adopted: • We have been ruined
by a refpsal to recharter the Rank of the Uni-
Td States ; ruined by the,odions Independent
reasury ; ruined by the Mexican war ; ruined
by the acquisition of the vast and fertile Ter
ritories of California chid New Mexico and
et.the present moment we happen to be{
l
irretrievnbly ruined t..* what the Whigs call
the free+trade tariff. which neverthelessimposesi
a duty oT thirty dollars -upon the hundred on
nearly all foreign , productions which can come!
into competition with ear domestic manufac
tures. And yet we have , survived all this.- ruin,
and still continue on the high road to unexam
pled national wealth and greatness. Indeed,
at the present moment, under the guidance of
Democratic principles, oar country has attained
such a character throughout the world that 4t
has become the envy and the admiration of all
nations. Every steamer which arrives from!
Europe 'bears this intelligence to our shores.. i
Rest assured, the Democrats of Pennsylvania!
Iwill never abandon principles which have yield
ed suchrfruits in prosperity, greatness, and glo
ry. The Whigs are prophets, ever foreboding
11118 which are never. realized. Their political
fortunes depend solely Upon the panics which
they can - excite amongst the people immediate
ly before an important election.
The Whig party, at the present moment,
calculate upon carrying Pennsylvania by a di
vision ih the Democratic party in regard to the
question of slavery in our new territorie4. Ih
this expectation I am. 'convinced they will be
disiippointed. Demochts will 'never abandon
their, principles, and '.the candidates of their
patty, upon a question merely transient in -its
nature,'and which, no Matter how it may, be
decided by Congress,, can never produce any
practical result—can never, in point of fact,
introduhe slavery either into California or New
Mexico:

L• Hilt there isnether, aspect of th Presiden
-1 tial question w hich halt always atm kme with
I the greatest fore. What would b the effect
of (lei). Taylorwh election, as a - pr cedent, in,
after times'? From Caesar to Cr mwell, and,
' froni Cromwell Ito Napoleon, all *odd re
publics have been destroyed by in% sting suc
cessful General; fresh from the fief s of their
glory, with the ihigheSt civil power The his
tory of the wor ' has, therefore, tan ht Repub
lics till be jade s of - standing armie . For this
reason, we hay , iidepted it as a axim, that
the' military sh U always be in stoic gaberdine-
Id
. .
tion to - the civi I power. .
1 It tvould benjaat to say that d anguished
_w
military servic should have no ight in the,
ben
just
of a ,resrdent ; but our Presidents
ought to come, s. they haverdone i all times
past directly fr the ranks of the ple, 'and
not from the ra ksal the' army. 1 ashington
was' a farmer, iiickson was a fanner, Harrison
wawa termer; ell three had been nothing but
farmers for yeah before the Amerfcan people
elevated them t. thelghest civil trust. Each
one of them had long before retired from the
army and engaged in Civil pursuits.'

' ferred, withou teven an interniediat breathing
spell,,with all the habits of 0. cal life fresh

our military districts to the head f. the civil
government. 4ithough we-all kno that Gen.
Taylor would feria poldesigns agai st the tb
ertiesl of his coitetry, yet, in after ti es, under
the sonction of this preeedent, othe generals, I
animated with the spirie of a Caner r a Crom
