TO THE YOUNG MEN OF THE UNI*

For some time past ninny of the paper* which

'heir malignity and railing flow from
tlro’fact, that I was formerly a most ardent sup
porter of the late and present President, and that
my opinions respecting them aud their political
measures are entirely changed.
That alteration lin*Jproce*:de4/rom tho circum
stances which I shall now detain The duplicity
of many of tho lenders ■ of the Government
party first startled me. I perceived that while
they avowed one principle, they maintained the
opposite;and thnt they were determined to com
plete their private schemes bv overy contrivance
which their command of the Treasury, aided by
■ majority in Congress, would enable them to
put in operation.
T also ascertained that the President and his
chief supporters were leagued together to array
the different classes of society agaiusteach other,
and'ifpossible, to destroy the commerce, manu
facturer and internal improvements of our coun
try. They denounced the whom system of bank
ing. All mercantile credit and confidence they
doomed to ruin. The rclationsand state of so
ciety were also darkly proposed to be subvert
ed/
Notwithstanding, we moved onward in thought-
less'unconcern ; like a vessel in a fog without pi
lot or rudder, until the commercial derange
ments put the national ship “ all aback.” That
yes to see the perils in which we
, by reiving nnon men who have
wives to be totally disqualified to be
fthe nation. Therefore I nbaudon-
it party, and now strive to redress the past
wrong, by combining with others, in endeavor
ing, couatitulionly, to displace tho present incom
petent nnd unworthy officers; that citizens of
superior principles, in political economy, and
* more trust-worthy as men, may direct the affairs
of our conntry.
•To young men like myself, T appeal. Con
you belong to a party who declare, that “ they
trill make tear upon all our existing social arrange-
meats"—“ that all the banks and the banJiing sys
tem shall be destroyed?'—nnd that the transfer by
parents of their property to their children, and
the bequest of wealth to relatives and friends shall
he extinguished; so that all the proceeds of hu
man industry, skill and economy “ shall fall to
the States,” thereby eradicating tho efforts of di
ligence. the improvments of genius, and the mo
tives for frugality ?
To carry out those desolating schemes, they
also.proclaim, that their "first remedy” for those
** mischevions social arrangements” shall be “ the
destruction of every thing like an outward visible
w \urch, and of every thing teh eh in the remotest de-
W8SSBSS
I Us teachers, and DMtMce! !! !—“ALL
WALL GO-BY THE BOARD.”
Fellow-Citizens, and Young Men! The above
declarations nre the very words of the men now
iri power. I again appeal to your patriotism!
Can you sustain a party who affirm, as their claim
for our votes, that they will entirely destroy the
present social arrangements in our .country, root
and branch, and thnt they will hinder the laboring
classes from accumulating wealth, and bettering
their condition? Can you adhere to men who
ahatnalnmly avow, that they will hinder our citi
zens from acquiring earthly comfort, and thaf they
will impede the advancement of society in the-
arts, sciences agriculture, mechanics, manufac
turer, commerce, and intelligence? Canyon up.
hold men who assure yon that they will dives
you of the patrimonial prosperity which right
Tally should descend to you by the law of God &
man ? Can yon any longer join with tnen who
have treacherously obtninnd possession of the pub
lic Treasury contrary to law, and in definuneeof
the Constitution, by basely excluding from tlroCnn-
S ess of the United States the Representatives of
ew Jersey? Can yon^nnuort men who have
resolved to embody a standing army of 200,000
men always in service, to nullify the Constitution,
dm exercising our inniicnable rights,

K Ln, by overy species of prodigality in

Young Men, I beseech you, paus&nnd reflect!
The present executive authorities have basely
trampled upon the Constitution and violated its
Articles, times without number. They have virtu
ally nullified the jurisdiction mid decrees of the
Supreme Courts of the United Suites. They
have jnfimiously violated all those engagements
through which they wore elevnted to their official
stations. They ore striving to retain their supre
macy by the most scandalous bribery and corrup
tion, equally notorious and universal—end to
•crown all their infamous proceedings; they now
sojemnly assure us, if they are re-elected, that
they will execute all these outrageous schemes,
which l have enumerated in their own words y
including the utter extinction of morality, ofsocial
comfort, and of national prosperity, even at the
expense of a horrible “ war the like of which the
world as yet has never witnessed and from which the
heart of humanity recoils with horror."
Fellow-citizens, und Young Men! We are
forewarned; and therefore ought to bvforwarncd.
'Hiepresent administration have told lissome of
pisures which they mean to at-

THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS IN
GEORGIA.
There was never we venture to say, an Elec
tion in this State, more important in its conse
quences—more intimately associated with the
’ welfare of the rich and poor—more pregnant with
results, which do notact upon the events ofaday
or year, but infliionco and dfrect the history of
centuries, than that which is approachiug. It be
hooves every freeman to be awake, aud to act
and think for himself. In ordinary times, a cer
tain class of peaceable citizens think that they can
stay at home without serions detriment to the in
terest of the Republic. That Republic is now in
danger, and the spirit of 70 calls on nil to come
to the support of the principles for which our an
cestors fought.
The party in power have declared doctrines
which should cause every one to distrust their
honesty. They havesaid openly and unblushing-
ly, that " the spoils of office belong to the victors."
Reflect for a moment to what a frightful condition
this declaration, faithfully acted on, hgs brought
us. Its most direct and important consequence,
is to make the tenure of office depend, not upon
the faithful discharge of duties—not upon hones
ty—not upon length of service, but upon the sole
requisite of attachment to party. We quarrel
with no man for his opinions; we know as
we have said again and again, that there are
many honest, conscientious men in this commu
nity, and other communities, who are attached to
the present Administration, from principle—
but from what we conceive to be a mistaken prin
ciple. There is proof upon proof, however, of
the bad effects of this truly pernicious system.
We warn our readers against the tactics of the
party in power. We charge them with dorelic-
tion of duty, in various instances. It is not de
nied, but a new issue is made. They accuse ns of
beiug Federalists—they accuse Harrison of be
ing a coward, an abolitionist, ofbeing in corres
pondence with the Northern Whigs, &c.&c.
We meet them on each and every ground. We
disprove every charge? but still, the old charges
are repeated, and new ones are invented. Our
candidate—our principles, challenge the severest
scrutiny; they have been subjected to this scruti
ny—they come out bright Rom the trial.
But, say our opponents—“all parties area-
like. We are in—you are the outs and want to
got in. There is as a general rule, as much dis
honesty in one political party, as another—and in
the abstract, there is a little dishonesty in* all.”
God forbid that we who are straggling for the
cause of our Country and Constitution, should

GOVERNOR TYLER IN TIII8 CITY.
The Washington City Tippecanoe Club,
recently formed, held a meeting on Friday eve
ning for the purpose of organization. After the
election of officers
Mr. Goorge Sweeny roso nnd announced to
to the Club thnt he had just been informed that
their distinguished follow-citizens, John Tyler, of
Va. the Whig Candidate for the Vice Presidency
of the Unted States, had arrived in Washington,
on his woy to Columbus, Ohio, whither lie had
been invited by a number of his fcllow-citzens
of thiit State; and as he was ante that the Club
would rejoice in the opportunity thus afforded,
to tender a just tribute of respect to ono whose
name has been deemed worthy, by the great Whig
party throughout the Union, to be associated with
that of the illustrious man who is aboutto be called
to the first placo In the Government, he had pre
pared and would submit tho following resolu
tions:
Resolved, That John Tyler, of Virginia, the
Whig candidate for the Vice Presidency, be, and
he isnereby, elected ah honorary member of the
Tippecanoe Club oflhe City of Washington.
Resolved, That a committee of four be appoint
ed by the Chair to announce to Governor Tyler
tho adoption of the foregv ing resolutions, and to
respectfully iuvite his attendance at tiie Club this
evening, that the members present may have the
opportunity of exchanging salutations with him.
The resolutions were received with cheers
and acclamations, and were unanimously adopt
ed.
Messrs. Sweeny, Gideon, L. Ilarbaugb, and
Lenox were appointed the committee, whore-
turned in a short time, accompanied by Gov
ernor Tyler.
As soon as the enthusiastic cheering with
which Governor Tyler’s introduction to the Club
wos responded to, he addressed the meeting
substantially as follows:*
Mr Friends: I find it very difficulty to express,
in suitable terms, how gratefully I feel the un
expected honor you have conferred upon me
by the invitation convoyed to roe through ^our
coinmittccand the highly flattering reception I
meet with here. Although but slowly recovering
Rom severe indisposition,which has left me much
enfeebled,I could not refraiu Rom coming briefly
to express my groteftil thanks for tiro kindness
extended to me by so many of the citizens of
Washington. Your committee has annonneed
to me that it has been your pleasure to confer on
me tiro distinction of adopting nro as a brother
in your patriotic association. In a correspond
ing spirit I came her to salute yon as my brothers.
Itnas been my.forlune in times past to be inti
mately connected, in the performance of my
legislative duties, with the People of the District
ofCo!urabia.t Need I say to all or moat of those
who hear me, that, during that connexion, it wos
my pleasing duty to contribute nil in my powor
to promote tho welfare ofthis city and District,
and the happiness of its inhabitants? Recent
events confirm the opinion which 1 have always
entertained of the virtue, the intelligence, and the
patriotism of tiro People of this District. In you
I recognise the descendants of many of. those
who. at Bunker Hill and Yorktown, struggled
and [ought ami tiled ui work out the deliverance
of tliia great land Rom the dominion of a foreign
yoke. It is but a poor reward that you should
uow be subject to the oppressions of domestic

Messrs. Editors—Since sending you the “Chal

yesterday morning, 1 have seen a file of the Geor
gian of Thursday, wherein the Editor make* his
calculation of the Presidential Election, and puts
down the number of votes for Mr. Van Buren nt

now challenge him, or any of his party, to back
their judgment, by accepting the bet offered in
your paper of yesterday—either in whole or in
part; or should the amount not be sufficient for
them, they can be accommodated with donhie tho
sum. The terms of the bet arc left with yon, and
tho money is ready for deposit in any of the

BUNKER HILL CONVENTION.
A correspondent of the Miltedgeville Recorder,
in a letter to the Editors of that paper, dated Bos
ton, Sept. 10, speaking of the Bunker Hill Con
vention, has the following:
I observed delegations Rom all the States, but
two or three. 8. Carolina was one I did not see
represented. All other the southern States were,
nnd by a much more numerous delegation than
any one would, under the circumstances, have
expected.
The Georgians, assembled here, with bnt very
few exceptions,formed themselves into a Delega
tion, ns many other remote States did, adopted on
appropriate banner and badge, and joined in the
enthusiastic scene. One side oftlro banner con
tained the words in conspicuous letters "Geor
gia comes late, though come she toll." On the re
verse, "Our country colls, the people answer, for
Harrison and Reform—5,000 majority!" with two
miniature Cotton bags attached. The delega
tion numbered seventy eight, who selected Messrs,
YVoodbridge and Lippett, of Savannah, as their
officers, and it was greeted with enthusiasm,
Enc.ii member wore a silk badge, with the follow
ing imeription—“GEonoiA,/or Harrison and Rc-
form. At home or abroad, tee fight against corrvp.
tion. ' s
“The Workingman.—He is to society what
the mainmast is to a ship.”—Jlf. Van Buren.
We think this a poor compliment. According

, also, am the son ofa Revolutionary
When I heard, in my retirement, that those
who had been charged, by the free citizens of
this Union, with.tho care end government of
’this District—nnd that those whose solemn duty
it is to cherish and protect its citizens, and so
govern them as to promote their interest, had dar
ed to wreak their vengeance upon you for yonr
manly expression of your honest opinions, nnd
aUempteuto deprive you oftlro liberty of speech,
one of the proudest attributes of American free
men, it is scarcely necessary for* me to tell you
thHt my heart swelled and my cheeks bunted with
indignation. Yet, when I nnw_thnt you quailed
not before the oppressors, that yon maintained
the high prerogative of freemen, and bore up
with manly firmness under your manifold wrongs,
I felt proud that I was your fellow-citizen. In
this trial of your patriotism, tiro proud spirit of
liberty which you have displayed has won for you
the adtniration and opplause of your Whig ore-
them in every section of the Union. As a Whig
who has inherited some of tho Whig blood of the
Revolution, permit me to add my voice to the
? general shout of approbation with which tiie
riends of our Ree Constitution havo greeted yout
noble independence ofspirit. Let mo congratulate
you. my friends, that the day of your deliverance
is at hand. Let me congratulate you on the pros
pect of the almost certain elevation to the high
seats of power of those whose pleasure as
well as duty it will be to consult not only the wel*
fare of this District, hut make this Union once
more a happy and prosperous land, I speak not
ofmyself, for that is blit ofa minor nnd secondary
consideration—but l speak especially ofhim who,
in all humnn probability, is very soon to be ele*
vuted to tiie Chief Magistracy of the Union. I
speak of him, the whme history of whose civil
and military enreer offers conclusive proof that he
has read well and studied deeply the precepts of
the Father of his Country, and who through all
the changes and vicissitudes of his public life has
put those precepts into practice. 1 congratulate
ybu, my friends, that the day of just retribution is
coming. Rely upon it that, under tiro Adminis
tration of Harrison, justice will be done both to
the oppressor and tiro oppressed, and tho great
lesson will be taught to all that in this free land,
no man, however exalted, nor pnrty, howevor nu
merous and powerful oqn long trample upon
the rights of tiro People with impunity.
Mr. Tyler concluded by reiterating histhanks
for the honor conferred on him by tiro Club, and
wishing them all happiness and prosperity.
Mr. T. was frequently interrupted by the
cheers of the meeting; and at the conclusion, the
whole Club spontaneously roso and greeted him
with three time sthree hearty cheers.
Mr. T. was accompanied to his lodgings at th*
Indian Queen Hotel by the wholo Club nnd ma
ny other citizens in procession, wljcro Mr. Wal
ler Lenoy, nt the request und in the nnnte ofthe
Club, took leave of biiu in a brief bat singularly
eloqueut and appropriate address.
*Thc reporter does not profeas v to give more than a
very imperfect outline of G6r. Tyler’s interesting
speech. Sketched altogether from memory, ho is
sensible that it is deficient, not only in subffance but
in form: and some ofthe points embraced in the speech
aronodonbt omitted.
t Gov. Tyler, when in the Senate, wss chairman of
the Committee for the District of Columbia, and
amongst many other efforts to advance its welfare, he
entered zealously, with his eminent fellow-altizen,
tho lato Philip Doddridge, of Va. on tho laborious task
ofpreparingacodenflaws for the future government
of the District. This valuable work, like many other
acts for the benefit of tho Ton Miles Square, lias so
far boon passed over with neglect. ’

The drolleries of this so-colled Merchants'
meeting were innumerable. “Git into the Bank,
where you belong, yon d—d British Whig,”
cried one of the Merchants, to a bona fide Mer
chant upon the steps of the City Bank. “Vy
Jim, iiow come you 'ere!” exclaimed a hale fel
low to another well met.” "Pm a Merchant to

of the new Custom House, it would have been

it was not at all unnatural, that the very akiea
should weep when such a posse invade the Mer

upon their lips.
Maine Election.—The Richmond F.nqnirer
which reached us yesterday contains a letter ad
dressed by Mr. Ex-Minister George M. Dallas to
the Loco Foco Convention recently assembled al
Charlottesville, (Va.) which is highly commend

his readers. “It comoth,” he says, “from the high

We now consider tho vote of Maine cerUi

not express his confidence in the loyalty of i

as sure as Maine. The most sanguine Whig
journals have never pretended to hope for tk
