WELLS. Tuomas A. Grover, Esq., Chairman of the Young Men’s Democratic Union Club. FROM HON. T. W. DORR, Provipence, R. I., Aug. 31, 1852, Tuomas A. Grover, Chairman of Committee on Corres- pondenee. Dear Sir—lI feel myself highly honored by an invitation from the Young Men’s Democratic Union Club, of New York, through you, to attend and address a mass meet- ing to be held by the association, at Tammany Hall, on the 2d of September. Having been confined to the house for more than two months by a severe illness, I am de- prived, much against my will, of the pleasure of obeying this friendly call to duty, in the support of the demo- cratic cause, which, especially at the present time, has so imperative a clatm upon all for their best services. The promptitude and cordiality with which the Rhoje Island cause of 1842 was welcomed and sustained by the earnest and resolute democracy of New York. are grate+ fully recorded in the hearts of all Rhode Island demo- crats worthy of the name ; and there is no portioa of our common brotherhood to whose summons they would more readily respond. For one, I greatly regret, that on this occasion, 1 can only send you my best wishes for a successful and effective meeting ; and thet. with the co- operative efforts of your brethren in other parts of the State, New York may be reseued from the hands of the Philistines, and brought back to its old and proud posi- tion in the front line of the democratic party Such a result. will be hailed by the acclamations = ‘th = country. ; MUCK depends on the present occasion upon the cou- rage and zee] of the younger portion of the party in New York, in urging their friends to efface the lines of sec: tional controversy ; and, by a hearty re union, upon the national platform, to give the powerful aid of their State in securing a victory, which will harmonize the national democracy. restore it to its pristine vigor, and furnish ie pledge of perpetuity to the constitution and the Union. The ample qualifications of our candidates, both of whom are well fitted for and worthy of the first place, and the fact that General Pierce is especially the candidate of the younger men of our party. will stimulate your best exertions; and they will be encouraged, by the assurance we all feel, that, it democrats are true to themselves, the bavner of the re-united national democracy will again wave in triumph, In regard to one of the shamelees whig misrepresenta- tions of General Pierce, I will add a single remark. Ilis enemies, aware that like Jackson, he is descended froin Irish emigrants and fearful that he may thus attract the partiality of a large portion of our adopted citizens, have attempted to avert those regards, by falsely suggesting that he is hostile to the entire liberty of our Cathelic population—a charge amply refuted and destitute of even the shadow of a pretext. Without this refutation, the opposite and natural presumption. from past expe: rience, would be. that General Pierce bas inherited from his ancestors thut love of freedom which was engravened in the depths of the soul by the oppressors of their native land With true regards, I am your friend and fellow citizen, THOS. W. DORR, The hour appointed for the mecting was half-past seven o'clock, at which hour a considerable crowd was gathered together. APPEARANCE OF TAMMANY HALL. On the exterior, suspended across the streot, hung 2 banner bearing the arms of the State, and flanked on either side by the stars and stripes. The front of “Tam- many Hall exbibited the usual variegated lamps, and rome bearing the title—“ The Young Men's Union Club,” ona transparency. The balcony was hung with the star spangled banner, and the stripes intermixed, surmounted by the standard of the Empire Club—the whole neatly and tastefully arranged. The interior of the hall was ap- propriately decorated, the restrum being covered with banners, and the cap of liberty elevated on a pole erected on the left of the speakers. The standard of the Union Club—a very pretty one, having the cap in the centre, and the title “The Young Men's Democratic Union Club” arcund in beautiful gilt lettering on a blue ground—was hung at the back of the platform, and on either side of this were the regular Tammany Society flags of the States of New Hampehire and Alabama, and those of the other States were dispored on the opporite side of the hall, the old Tammany banner being in the centre, Imme- diately facing the speaker, at the rear of the back or tecond room, stood the magnificont “Granite Club” ban- ner, which we have before so fully described, exhibiting a full length portrait of General Pierce. THE MEETING, SPEECHES, ETc. The proceedings wire commenced promptly at the honr appointed, when the first or large room was full, the crowd continuing to flow in. Davies B, Taycon, Fed, (President of the club) .presid- ed over the proceedings of the evening, and made few in- trodi tory remarks; justifying the proceedings of the Y Mop’s Democratic Union Clab, in taking the steps whic! the General Committee had omitted to do, but whom he quite absolved of any neglect in the matter. He intro- duced, as the first : peaker— Generar Cass, who came forward amid loud cheers and spoke as follows == It is good for us to be here—it is good to come up to this bail to commune with each other upon the pi ts of the democratic party, for this is one of the high places of democracy, hallowed by many a patriotic recollection’ and tribute of affection to our country. 1 am happy to meet you this evening. to congratulate you on the tri umphs of the principles of the democratic party—princi- ples written in the hearts of a majority of the American people, who believe them to be essential to free institutions and to the preservation of this mighty Union, (Applause.) I congratulate you, my friends, on the condition and pros- pects of the party. There is no mistaking the signs of the times. Both parties have worthy, able, and patriotic nominees, But, my friends, I desire to repeat here what Lhave said elvewhere; that if, in this vast assembly, there igone man who came hore expecting me to abuse either party or candidate, he is rure to go away disappointed. (Cheers,) My friends, wo have honorable contests enough with the whig party, without resorting (o abuse. If three score years and ten, which I have almost attained, brings with it many evils, it brings with it, alvo, a right to give my opinion. and (with much emphasis) 1 will give it (Cheers, and cries of bravo.) And that is. that I trast no democrat, Curing the whole of this campaign, will resort to this unworthy modo of warfare, My iricnds, we are all biethren of the same great family, and the whigs are PROM HON J, a els Just ox much intorested in the’ prosperity ot the covntry as you are, We are both on board of the rame ship, and must sink or swim together, (Oheers.)

(Wheors.) | Fellow-citizeus, it is very warm work hore. (General | Cass, suiting the action to the word, divested himself of | his coat.) 1am devoted, heart. body, and mind to the | great cause of democracy, and Iam so exceedingly waraa in the contest, that you see I am obliged to strip to it, Now, I want to say one thing to the reporters in the gal- lery; do not mention this to the whigs, or publish it im the | whig papers; or. if you do you will ruin me, (Laughter.) Why are you here to-night, my friends? Why ia this glistening “spectacle before me? Why are you aa- | sembled within these walls in such vast numbers? Why, T toll you, my friends, that it is consoling to you and encouraging to the best wishes of homan nfture, at home and abroad, to see tl meri- can people so deeply interested in’ the fandamonca principles of the constitution. in the course of thé admin istration, and in the conduct of their public officers. It i+ an encouraging fact, to which the world affords no parat lel. ‘The spectaclo presented at this moment in this country the world never saw before, and will never so again, should this Union be disrupted (Cheers) Thi is one of the greatest nations—one of the mightiest ns tionr—on the face of the globe—extending from the At lantic to the Pacific, from the region of perpetual sum mer almost to the region of perpetual frost and snow ‘Throughout the whole extent of this vast country the People are in a state of political excitement, Everyman who meets bis neighbor inquires as to the state of poli- tics, and the prospect of the ensuing campaign, Yes, my friends, this is the absorbing topic in cities, towns, villages, and hamlets; aye, aud on the’ verse of civilization, the hardy’ pioneer, who commences his stern contest with mature which it will require years to carry him through triumphantly, stops in the midst of his labor to question the solitary traveller, and ask him what are the pro pects of the Presidential cempaign. And what is all tbis for, my friends? What is all this for? Are we engaged in external war or in {nternal revolution? Or is the Angel of the Lord passing by us, carrying with him pestileave or famine, or any of the other ipflictions with which God in his wrath punishes offending nations? No my fellow-citizens, not one of all these! No, they like it! Never was the country more prosperous. ‘Lhe wind of heaven, the sun of heaven, the rain of heaven, perform their beneficial functions, and the hervests never pro- duced more abundantly. But I repeat—What is all this commotion for? My fellow citizens, it is one of those periodical changes occuring when power is devolved on the people, and when the poplo, by the exercise of their immediate power of election, nominate a chief magis- trate of the ee ee and through him determine the course of the administration on such principlesas they will, Therefore, my friends, it is that you are se earnest—so anxious—so much engaged in the contest now pendin, between such principles as you profess and euch princi plesas you condemn. What a sublime spectacle! I re- peat, my friends, that there is nothing like it in the world. “Give me euch an instance in Europe, it you can. In France, a President may be elected—but how is it to be done? ‘Why, the citizen says yes or no to a partic Jar man, and that is all the power he has leave to exer- cise. Here there is nothing except the power of Al- mighty God to control you in the exercise of your fun. tions.” There is another thing. my friends, no less stril ing or less honorable to the national character in the excitement which has risen. and increased. and will in- crease till November. Not one human life will be lost in the contest—not one violent act of opposition to the nd the moment the verdict is pronounced at lot-box, every man will submit quietly to the declared will of the moajoriiy, and all will turn round ond prepare for another contest. And allow me to tell you that this submission to the will of the major- ity is the very corner stone of our free institutions—it is the very anchor which keeps the ship of State to her moorings ; and if the is broken from them, she is lost, and lost forever. Well, my friends, what are these prin: ciples for which we are in contest, and how are they maintuined ? Here are two great parties into which the people of this country are divided—they are called whigs and democrats. +s are P ties be ? s difference a) Cre his tera nes eervaich ren anaties ShATSOUDE tween She, two Rete G then aroason forthe faith that is in them.’ and explain to them. as brieily as Lean, the fundamental principles of our policy as differing from the whige. I at not going to into tha pecu- liar errors of the whig party—and God kuows there is enough of them. (Laughter.) I will leave that to younger and more active’ men around roe—to prefer bills of indictment, and to _ prosecute them to conviction before the American people. I con- tent myself with a very few remarks of general import. I repeat the question, my friends ; for whut is all this dis- play? What is all this for? What is the ob ject of the Whig party as contrary to tha of the democratic party? To arcertuin that we must go back a little. We must revert to the time when our fathers separated from England. After the revolution, the state of society was much tossed about.and good men were alarmed,and grest men doubted the perpetuity of free institutions ; doubted the capacity of men for self government—and two parties were formed. One party was hopeful ; believed in human progress ; believed in the capacity of man for self govern- ment. ‘he other was afraid of progress ; desired inflex- ible immobility, and did not believe in the capacity of mun for self government. Ido not mean to make these remarks universal, wy friends, but these were the great fundemental principles between the two parties, Now what is the fact? Allow me to say to yeu. in illustration and proof of these remarks, that in the convention which fiamed the constitution there was a proposition submitted that the President should be elected for life. or during good behavior — that the Senate should also be elected for lifo—that the Prerident should haye the right of veto over all laws, und should have the appointment of governers of States —and that he, in bis turn, was to be elected by the go- vernors of States, All these propositions were muin- tained by men, and by high and able men too; aud it they had been accomplished, this great republic would now be as powerful a monarchy as any the world has ever seen, and would have degenerated into an hereditary mo- nareby. A considerable time, during the period of the first session, Was occupied In settling the titles of high officers of the government, Aye, and it was advocated that they should pass a resolution declaring that the Preei- dent of the United States should be called “ His High- ness,’’ the Senate * Right Honorable.” and the Represen- tatives * Honorsble’—a gradition of rank as nice as any herald’s college in Kurope could make. They wanted a magwificent government. It was one of the dogmas of theday. A national debt was said to bea national bless- ing; but God rave us from such a blessing as that! My friends, I sometimes think that a great many of our whig countrymen, still doubt about the capacity of man to govern himstlf; and the last few years have given suffl- cient indications of their prevalent opinion on this sub- ject. Iam going to speak to you freely, as one democrat to his brother democrat. I mean to give no offence, but to tell you freely, openly, plainly, the experience of an active and stirring life of fifty years, and what are the tical doctrines of the two American parties. I say y and in truth, but I will try to say it also in mode- ration. In illustration of the remark. that whigs doubt- ed in the capacity of man for self-government, { may re- mind you, that it is cnly five or six years ago since the great emblem of the whig party was a raccoon, (Great laughter.) My fellow-citizens, this was unworthy of the American name and yoir cause, and of eur claims on the admiration of the werld; but I tell you that the whigs did not raise their candidate intothe Presidency on the tail ofa raccoon, and Gen. Jackson was not carried there ina great huge toy called a soup bowl. (Laughter ) ‘The sou; bowl is not to be raised as a sort of cabalistie watchwot or Shebboleth, so that every man who mou nces word would be received into the faith, all else reject ed. And the great soup bowl is to be followed in proc os- sion, as the Moslem follows the standerd of the crescen in his wars against the infidels. I reject that standard, my friends; but I will not spitupon it, because we under- stand from high authority that that process of C5 eedat in tion is to be applied to the whig platform, and to it let it be. (Lavghter and cheers ) Now, my friends, allow me to sa} that we are a little guilty, too. Allow an old man to tell you that all guilt is not confined to the whig party, 1 do not wish to hear one gun or drum di whole of the campaign. If we cannot support our liberties without this kind of miserable trash, let them be given to some ople more worthy of them. us to. the Hot box without all that miserable mimicry which, ought to produce no effect on any reasonable man—and I hope and trust it shall be 80 hereafter. (Here the orator felt obliged to divest himself of his cravat.) Now, my fellow-eitizens, sixty-four years have passed away sinoe the establishment of our constitution, and with that time we have extended our limits trom the Atlantic to the Pacific, and increased from three millions to twenty- four millions; and we have assumed a ‘mong the nations of the earth where we have nothing to fear but our own crimes and the just judgment of God. We have high and proud mission. light of our Bory is shining ont across the dark and troubled ooemn, invi- ting the oppressed nations of the eurth to the fair haven of Hherty.” During this time the tendencies of almost all the whig party were to increase the wer and influence of the general government; and the tendencies of the democratic party wore to restrain and abase them. Their icy wae to inorease the power of the federal party, while outs was to decrease and restrain. They began with the Sedition and the Alien laws, to increase the power of the ernment, The Bank law was another of their means for the sane chject. It was one of the most dangerous engines ever settled in a free country, and God knows what it would have led toif such @ man as General Jackson bad not Ween placed at the head of the general government. J do not know any other man in cur country who could Dave resisted and put down that monster of iniquit, Geo grant that, it this country sball ever expel nich another curse, we qiy have such another man.

In the first place, free intercourse with foreign nations has been the controlling principle of th atic party—to dono wrong. and to suffer mone.

Not one. Aye, and worse than all, we have heen told by high whig authori- tics, that the opprested of other nations are welcome to hospitable graves in this country—that they may live hereand die here. I come to the great question of ac- quisition of territory. We have acquired florida, Louisana, Texas, and part of Mexico. We have quintu. pled the extent of our dominion. Is therea man in this assembly who does not know that from beginning to end, jeremniade on jeremiade was pronounced, as if the down. fail of the government was certain? The cry was, “woe, woe to Jerusalem ;” but. thank (od, Jerusalem is yet @ fuir city on the hill, shining out a blessed example to all the other nations of the world. (Great applause) There is another difference between us and that is “intervention.” Look to the whig papers, and they will teli you that “intervention” is interfering in the concerns of other nations, if the Emperor of Austria, or the Emperor of Russia, or the sable Emperor of Hayti, undertakes to violate the great principles of public law, and carry into effect their projects, we have the tame right to declare that they shall not do so. Are we to stand still and see the Jaws of nations violated by the strong arm ofdespotism? (Uries of‘ no,no.”) Tam giad to hear that response of “no” from’ true hearted Americans, You must not stand still and see the teeble oppressed and the strong triumphant, I do not advocate going to war—going to war now—but the time will come and the time is coming. when the v of this nation will be potential throughout the world.

I Lave been told by eminent whig authorities, but I pro- nounce it to be agreat huwbug. that # declaration on our part against such a violation of publie law, is inter- fering in the affairs of other nations, in the sense which Gen, Washington meant, I should like to kaow, in the Dime of common sense, if we adhere to the principles of public law, and if the Emperor cf Russia says * 1 hay a right to interfere in the internal disputes of natio and we declare that no one has a right to do so,if that is entering into ‘entangling: alliauces?” Anl yet that humbug has been pr ed with much perticacity, One more topic, and shall clowe—‘Sympathy with foreign ions.” We feel a sympathy with steag- gling oppression. So did General Washington. He raio that “wherever aa oppressed nation unfolds the banner of freedem, then my heart is with them.’ That was the true doctrine of that day, and is the true doctrine of this. Yes, my nds, wherever men are bowed down, wherever the image of God is defaced, wherever man is striving to pass out of darkness and turn to the light of truth and freedom, there the hearts of American democrats are with them, and say “God spoed you—do vs we have done in the establishment of five institutions, and then do as we are doing by main- tainingliberty and law.” My friends, I have already spoken cf cur prospects. We have a united party and let me ray to you. let us not look back at the past dis- sens’ons, but let us look forward to our future duties; let us not stop to inquire whether a man came at the eleventh hour or atthe first hour. Let us eflace all the memorials of the past, let us “burn our fleet,”’ and then we will have neither the will nor the power to escape, but all go into battle together and gain ihe victory ow citizens, this is the ad- vice of an cid democrat fogy.”’ His heart {s filled with gratitude for what he has got, and not with regret for what he did not get, (Applause) And he means to show his thankfulness, by tupporting the nominees of the party as galously. as faithfully, and as honestly, ax »py other democrat, be he who or where he may.

Senator Dovaras, of Mlinois, was next introduced and greeted with the most entbusiastio cheering by the meet- ing. He said:—Fellow citizens of Old Tammany, for tho first time in my life I have the pteasure of appearing be- fore you, in defence of democratic principles and of na tional candidates, Whilst following in the footsteps o¢ my illustrious friend, who has addressed you ably and eloquently, I am under no apprebension of committing any political error, (Good, good.) I have listened to the speech of General Cuss—(Uproar and confusion.) Don't be alarmed, it is only a Seett fire in the rear—with as much pleasure as certainly you have done, as appears by the manifestations you have exhibited here. (Uproar, hisses, and cries of order.) I think that he has done him- self great injustice, when he announced that he was an “old fogy;” for if I judge correctly by his speech, h would never become an “old fogy,” even if he should live a thousand yeare, (Cheers.) He made youa pure young American democratic speech. He has expounded the doctrines of the party in a it 80 comprehensive that there is little for me to say. We are on the eve of a great campaign, which # to determine the political doo- trines of this nation for four years to come, The vast assemblage that has here met to night reminds me of the meetings which I have addressed at Baltimore and elve where. Wherever the people are called together is shown clearly the interest felt im the approaching election. And what causes this interest? Not merely to secure the election of the democratic candidate. The election of a man |x of no servies unless with bim our measures and principles should triumph. and be carrisd into complete tflect. (Cheers.) The object of the democratic party js to expel the whigs from power, and of refitting the ol ship of the State with democratic hands, or to place de- moctatic measures and principles into practical adminis- tration In the management of the goverament.

I wich you to bear in mind, that this is tho first time that any party has ever selected the Commander in Chief of the American Army as a can- didate for the Presidency You recollect that George Washington held many civil offices before he drew the tword in the revolutionary war, and before he was ele- vated to the Presidency. Washington resigned his oom- mission when the war was over, and retired tohis farm, and became, under the law, as any other citizen of the United States. Andrew Jackson followed the example ot rge Washington. Old Hickory held se- veral officee—District Attorney, Senator in Congress, Judge of the Supreme Court of the State—before he ever smelled gunpowder in war; and, when the war ceased, Andrew Jackson sheathed his sword, and retired to civil life, and became a farmer and citizen, So it was with Gen Harrison. He was only a soldier in the time of war, and be- came a private citizen when the war was over; and follow. ing the example of these illustrious men the democratic party bave now selected Franklin Pieroce=a citizen and a foldier—as their candidate. (Cheers ) General Pierce was not raised in var; he was raised up from several distinctions in both houses of Congress, and never con- rented to appear in public life until war broke out in the country. When tbe Mexican war broke out. Gen. Pierce stepped forward and volunteered in the ranks to fight the battles of his country. He shouldered the revolutionary murket. \ He held his position in the ranks until he was promoted to be the olonel of the regiment, and subso- quently became Brigadier General in the army. He per- formed hie public duties faithfully and gallantly whilst he remained in the army, and when there was no more fight- ing tobe dono, he sheathed his sword, and returned to pri- vate life aguin.

Cweear fought the battles of his country as gallantly as Scot: had fought the battles of America, Cerrar, like Scott. when the war was over, refused to eur- render his commission, but held on to it, and took pos- rersion of the government ; and you all well know the result of the Roman republic—bow it was iminediat changed intoan empire and kingdom. (Cheers ) Cromwell commanded the parliament army, and when the war was over, he, like £cott, refused to surrender his commission, and marched the army against the very parliament from whom he derived his commission, and deprived them of their power. Napoleon Bonaparte derived bis commis- sion trom the republican France, fought over the repub- lican eagles his memorable cawpaigns in Italy, and when he returned from Egypt he became a candidate for the chief magistracy of hisnation, He retained his millts position. and created the empire on the ruins of repnbii- tan France, ‘Look at the South.
