THE MEETING
Of tlie Democratic Republican Association of
Chatham, on Friday night, Wat cheering to the
eiuw we have the pride to advene.
George Shirk, Esq. 1st Vic* President, took the
Ch*ir,(Mr. LeWit, Secretary, Mag In hi* sent.)
when L. S D’ Lyon adtlresscd the crowdedassembly
in i strain of convincing argument.
After he concluded, the venerable Republican of
McIntosh, Thomas Spa I.dino, Esq "nppe*.ed on the
{Uniform, His forward motion from tin* sent hu
had occupied was tint signal of rapturous applause,
while the frequent interruptions to which he was
■uhjoc cd,during his enrrgeti,. ami manly speech,
evinced an enthusiasm in his auditors too powerlul
to ba suppressed
.In his address ilioru was no glitter of a fulse re
publicanism, hut the plain, unadorned common
sense of a genuine democrat. He -elected promin
ent traits in Gen. Harrison’s military clmnictor, and
dwelt on them to show that although the General
was, as la conceded, a brave man personally, he
lacked essential requisites to make an efficient Gen
ernl. W* repent that there was no tinsel in this
veteran Republican's remarks. Ho availed himself
also of the occasion to award a merited encomium
on Mr. Vun Duron's honorable career.
Dr Arnold followed, an i in n strain of argument,
interspersed with nurenstic illusion-, phased while
he confirmed his listeners.
Tl»e ticket for Aldermen wits then submitted and
adopted with acclamation. It will doubtless unite
all who, feeling tin interest in the prosperity of the
City, are satisfied to intrust it to that portion «»f their
their fellow chiton-,who have proved at various pe
riods aituutive and faithful guardians of hei inter
est*.
GEORGIA
Holds a position between her elder sister South
Carolina, and her blooming daughter— Alabama,
which calls upon her to consider well iter responsi
bility to the Democratic family. We have not the
shadow of doubt that Georgia is D-mocr-ilfo to
the core. Her people, however, must not be f iglit
• D ed from their propriety by tin* loud cinmoisofihe
•ppnsitiaa- Their assemblies, their pageants and
thoir bnnners cost something, and the Whig* hope
(though it is hoping against hop*) to get into office
to pay themselves buck for some of thn-e liberal ex
penditures. But their imtn nse expense* will go
for noth! g. The honest cit iz-n n quires no argil-
niKot- of money, pn Mitten nnd hard elder to warm
thoir attachment totho Constitution and the Institu
tions of that country which they support, whether
slandered by furuiglt foes or domestic mnlccuiiloms.
THE PRINCIPLES OF THE HARRISON
PARTY.
K7*0«r friend of the Rrpnbtirnn soys, “ those
who are alwoysasking •* rehatareynnr principle"
siimild come lb our.club- a tl b-urn.”
We would .humbly enquire, if thev are so difficn!t
of explanation, that our friend will nut, as « politi
cal editor, undertake to enlighten us.
When our engag* merits release ns from lhe ra-es
ofa wot king man, we prefer ntt-nding the associa
tions of oar political brethren, wltoro we are accus
tomed to hear argument, than to li*len loth*- second
edition ofns-ertion* without proof, which teem in
the Harrison paper*. Wo nro odd of •• the c.irrup.
lion- of the present ami past administrations."
We would he pleased to -re those “ corruption-"
exposed, for we have so often In ard the charge
urged by thn Garrisonian# tbut wo nro inclined to
think, with onn «»f the Orator* at the Democratic
meeting iff Frid 7 evening, that the present Govern
ment is cm nipt. because “ office holders are con-
, foundetlly in the way of nffip*t seokers."
Will all those who cry corruption, test their pa-
trlotism by future events.
For instance, riie acceptance iff nn office, Is In tho
eye- of the modern ichigs, evidence of corruption
on the part of the recepiunt. Now ore these ab sers
of Von Duron’s Admini-trnllnn, one and nil. prepa
red to say they will not accept office from General
Harri,nn, should nn be elected? Wo think not. It
will lie as difficult for them, in March, 1841. to
“ pul back" the tempting gift, as it is now for them
to declare their principle*.
Heretofore we have learned, tlmt the principle*
of the Harrison party, were " opposition to Van
Buren " If their principles now menu any thing
el-c, we will he pl-nsuJ to see th rn «xpluitied in
the preSM-s nfllieir party, wlteie a n-ndiog people
eagerly look for snchcxpo-Hon*.

I was induced to add.es* a distinguished gentleman
of Boston, upon tho subject. Knowing nothing of
Mr. Biownson’speculi re doctrine*, I wits desirous

BOSTON, August 15, 1840.
My dear sb: Your fovor of lire tftk is before me.
The Boston Q t trterly Review is published by a
whig, who is, I believe, it- exclu-ive proprietor. It
.hu never been lerngtd-ed. in this quarter, as nn
organ of thn Demicrutio part); and i.s editor dis
tinctly announced, that “the review is the organ
of NO rAUTT." Asit ici'tird- the editor himself,
he votes, 1 believe, the Democratic ticket; but he
uses of h mself, in ibis very Boston Quarterly, the
following Innguagc:
In a pnr*y sense we are nothing; tliero is no
party that can count on o ir fidelity.”
I have never m t with a single Democrat who
approves Mr. Brownson** course, or es'eema Id-
peculiar opinions, a- any thing m ire than the vaga
ries of a man, who lovs singularity. Movnt-n, I
am told, is a whig; the Democracy of Mii'-atichu

MR. BROWNSON AND THE WHIGS,
An r-uirsgeiui* attempt is being made by tho hard
ciderit) s, to neiko the Demucrui* respo,.si!ile for
rloctrines give* to the world iult mere literary pr-
duettuo. It must lm known by the very per-oi,
attempting it,that Mr. Brown-on never ioteinled
to broach thn sentiment- the. whig* me so hoi rifled
at, nk the doi-trin-'sof *hn p-tiuical party to wlm-h
he belongs; and tlmt they are working with nil tin Ir
might to pcipcttrt « a bait fraud, lie say it most
be known to the wldgs, thin the d-clrirms allad'-tl
to a-e not premulgat- <1 us itmsa ol tho Drmi'crnta;
w>> will qualify thi.:—it either must hn known to
them,'-r else the-e honest in<hv.dual« are talking
thumsu.ve* h-mtsHof a matter they know halting
nh-nit. We donut say tin* without proof. Mr,
Brownsun, in the very work in winch the doetri* e
i.i quei-thm nre put Imth, expressly and ui-rquivn
cully denies tlmt they ate those of the patty u
which he belongs, or that any one I.- respous hie
lei them hut hims-lf and him>oil' oloiut. H.-nrhim
and dudgt:—
• In coaclti-ion I merely add, AS THIS RE
VIEW IS THE ORGAN OK NO FAKTY, no
body but it* editor, and those of it* Irionds wlm
may contribute to it- page*, must bu at all implicu
ed in its -insand heresies.'
Will the render notice another cxtrnrt 1 On
pngo35 will be found tho fultuwing emphatic Ian*
gunge:—
" Some are not democrats they d snpprove the
dne rincs and meusunsttf the' Dun-ociulic party;
others, becutt.c they have u veiy great aversion to
being s-«nllowedup in u mnltitadn thotgoes hither
aa-t thither, just ms *omo irresponsible will direct*.
We nre of. lie laltni cln s. ’ We do uoteallouraelves
demucrats in n party sense, bi cause we have n grunt
dislike to'party tyranny, and hec-tuse, wherever we
nre. wo must speak according to uu own convictions
and act us eft imlhto u« g -od, w ithout uski-g th-
teuve of a party IN A 1‘AR'IY SENSE NYK
ARE NOTHING. THERE IS Nb 1’ARTY
THAT CAN COUNT ON OUR FIDELITY,
n poiitirs, os in morals, tbcul-gy, and pnil-Mphy.
wo ure electirs, ittiil hold ou-solve* fieoto sei-k,uc-
eept, and siip|Hiit tru.limnl jn-tice wherever we can
find thrm. No party is always wrong; nu esc is
always right. We agree with all paitirs when-
tlu-y agree with us; but where tin y do not agree
with us. we cannot und will not su>lender our own
convictions. Ibi thr sake of ugret-ing with them or
dthauy of them."
It s.-nms too, that in a note to the very article
om which the Briti-h \\ hi* papers are n-w ntnk
ing extracts, Mr. Brownson distinctly avows that
'they are Ait opini-ns simply, und THAT HE
DUI.8 NOT SUFI’OSE THEM TO BE IN AC
CORDANCE WITH THE VIEWS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY."
But Independently of this express denial of the
-nnection of these sentiments with the democratic
party, look for * nuint-mt at i lie uirctim-tanres under
which they appeal, and *••« it uuy one but a very
knate would attempt lo make that party leapon-Uue
f.irthem. Tho article cont lining these doctrine*
uppeais in a liirraiy journal, making its a| pcurence

sny, thi-oriz- * (perlm;-* dreams would he better,) in
his closet, till he creates a pt-ifccl Utopia, having no
existence but in Ids own brain. Tbese theories, tlie-e
wuking dtetim* ofa powetfu),.peculatinginii-d, nre
given I'or.h to the world inn literary journal; und be*
cause, for.Ooih, the writer happens to he a membei
of* political party, that party is immediate) made
responsible No honest, upright mun w..uld ever
tlnnk of making such a clinrge; but from a part,
who.-o veiy life consi't* in chi-uting und mistepre.
seeiatinn, wh-ise very existence depends upon Imw
much and how fat they can di ceive, perhaps noth
ing bolter can bn expected. But even Tram a politi
cal (action, whose arguments are ha*d cider und
log ratlins, conn skins and lying banners—who wisn
to drow n li-e moral perceptions ol the whole |M-ople,
by the intuxirution of liquor und excitement—wh-'
unbiu.ltiugly publish foi th lies and stick to them—
who at»mu»o men sentim-mls they nev- r gave
utterance to—this is a greater am-unt of brazen
fined impudence, of lying and deception, than we
hud at first *uppo-ed even such a parly would have
dined lo hazard. It is however of a peice wilt- their
openly avowed principle, that the people mutt be
it' celved. Afier going so far as in uin-mpt to make
Friends. Wv doubt if von c*n find a single instance

•rhnmonf putting an end to inheritance of ptoporty
by the heir* of a peis -n dying.
But we have already taken up too much time on
this subject; one remark mo e,and we will stop. Jlie
gh ring ami ourageou* inconsistency of the hard
ciderites was never more mumfeti than In their
conduct inward* this same niiiele In nncmlun. Fm
the last six months, ever since they have adopted
log cabin* a* their ensign, and hard cider as their
countersign, we hhvc heard of nothing bntrhmges
against the democracy,that they were endeavoring
to lower the reward ofluhor, to leilnco the producers
to the lowest posrinle wages, to make the rich rirlcr,
end the pintr pt-orur. This has been the burden oft he
wliigt-ing, in all speeches ami papery. Fog month*
pn*t we Iihvii Hearn of nothing ci-o. It linn been
ttrsp-d again and again on the fl -oi tifCongress, that
the domocrary wished to loweV * the condition of
laltoreis, and the chorgo has bean taken up by
very political brawler and lnuinbss ass, who, par-
rot-like, repeal wliut is told them, till the whole
nation has echoed with it from Maine to Geoigia,
from tlie Atlunifc t-» the Rocky Mountains. Note,
let us see how this rhnrge corresponds with the
iresi-nt whig cry that the democrat* nre res onsilde
hr the doctrines of Mr Utownsno.- No one, not
even the bitterest liatd cider le, will deny that Mr.
B. gqe-nll .lengths to ale vale the condition of the
l&liorore—to give him nil thn profit- nf hi* own
work—lo equalize hi* condition with tliur of other
mcnthais of society; and in following out «o laud .bin
n desire, ho h-mlers upon ngrarinn-im. tip -n a di-
visi it nf property ov- ry Siittirimy night. Now, it Is
sod the •lom--cmlic party are responsible for these
sentiment—that such in fact are their principles.
We tln*n have these two rharges ma-lq against ut
by the wltigs, at one and tliv' MXme time, tlmt in
the firs- place our only end and nitn is to lower nml
degi ude ttie laboring clu-ses—tiitkkoaw ayf omtheir

“OUR PRINCIPLES."
Our friend of the Republican lias favored us with
n long dissortntion, lo explain Ills principles.
We coincide with him, that “ nn one ought to
peak nhotit prineiples, without going back to the
foundation of our ti-ivernmeot."
We ourself, love to dwell on the principles,
which siurtcd into existence this glorious Republic.
We are no chymists, but we delight toun -lyz -
the hiass of ingredient*, of which the modern whig
purty is composed.
The Whgt nf thn Revolution required nn such
“ inlismunic words n« log cabins and hard cider" to
represent their Republican viitue, but tnnn's equali
ty, and the right of representat ion were principles,
too d-nr to lie typified hy such emblem* a- aro ele
vated at the present day.
They acted nut their principles, by repo,Rating
thn elder Adams, and nlovming to th* Executive
chair the sage who, with a pen nf living light, re
gistered their principles on the charternflheircutui
try’x Independence.
The principle- then estnhlish-ol.it I*,as It has ever
been, our pride to cherish, und lhe Constitution,
which was ordained re secure iq themselves and
tiieir po-reriiy the bles-iogs of lil-sny, we prize, a-
the citadel where lhe Republic in* -should rally, to
transmit unimpaired, its privilege* to lutum gener
aifon-. and to offer them w-ih-uil fair and wl.hnui
reproach,to all foreigners seeking lobe iniiaraiized.
a -d to breathe the atmosphere ofthulsiid of Wash
INOToN.
But wo are told thssi the people are capable of
gorerning themselves. Grained—for then* I- no
doctrine we #-• much admire.
Did the people have the opportunity to govern
themselves, w hen HxxitV Clat.iIw ran- gndo from
the Republican faith, foisted Into the Executive
Chair the younger Adams, anil then “ as a safe
precedent" glided into ihe chair of Seer lory ?
Did not the people govern Ihemselvct- when hy
