Tho Deautitul banner of the club, made of rich blue silk, trim- med with gold, was hung over the entrance door. The auside was hung around with banners of the various States im the Union. But a saddening iotluence was ®pread over the scene—the Massachusetts banuer was phrondea with folds of silk crape, in memory of Mr, ‘Webster. The platform for the speakers was extended, and commodious arrangements raade for the convenience of the reporters, beneath the rostrum.

Most truly your fellow citizen, R. J. WALKER, Provipence, R. I., Oct. 27, 1852, of. Dean Sin—The cordial invi address the Young Men's Democratic Union Club, at their mass meetitig at Tammany Hall onthe 20th, and the assurance that the assembled democraoy of the city and county will bid me welcome are very, gvutitying proofs of your political regard; and the honor thus conferred de- mands and receives my most sincere and grateful ac- knowledgments. I very deeply regret that I am deprived of the plensure of once more meeting my friends, in that old venerated temple of liberty, by a long continued illness, which confines me ut My best wishes will attend you in this last grand to arouse the demo- cratic masses of New York; and with a good hope, found- ed on the assurances which our brethera there are giving us, that your labors will not be in vain, and are about to be crowned with a glorious result, "The information from all quarters is cheering and sat- isfactory, ‘The heavens are propitious. Providence can- not favor the schemes of fraud, double-faced impostures, and outregeous calumny, on which our whig enemies have mainly relied for success. If these be their best ar- guments for the whig caure,and no doubt they have presented the best which circumstances have permitted, then whiggery is more desperate and worthless at this pcint in its decay than at any former period; and the coup de grace which cuts it off and consigns it to the re- pore of defeat and oblivion, is an act of decency and kindness as well as of patriotism and public duty. No party that cannot offer better reasons for its continuance than have been offered by the whigs in the present cam- paign is fit to live. Opposition is & healthful qualifying element in political affairs; but a party without princi- ples, and driven to the disgracoful shifts and expedients which whiggery now employs, is incapable of auy benefi- cial effect upon that which it opposes, and ought to be displaced from the political field aga nuisance. not fit to berefcrmed or improved. to give place to some more re- spectable arsociatton, capable of a national existence, and of comprehending the vaiue of the national Union. Modern whiggery ia a degenerate off-shoot frcm the old federal stock; wanting the honor and character of its parent; substituting expediency and trafic for the principles and aime of the older school ; and preferring the spoils of victory and of special legislation to the sincere, though prejudiced and narrow creed which it has found more dignified than profitable. Federalism sat | apart with too profound a cense of its consequence to mingle with the common people, whom it mistrusted, and from whom, with hardiy any exception, in any State, it witbheld to the last the right of suffrage. and whom it treated as the natural inferiors of the classes to whom Providence seemed to them to assign the functions of authority and government Whiggery has so far devia- ted from the old standard, that while it is less honest itis more cunning: and though holding the people, especially naturalized citizens, in coniempt, and desirous to euriail their political rights, it condescends for a time. and comes rity. and enters the erena, to court and cajolé and deovive the people. and, by its various artifices and stratagems, to render them the instruments of a short-lived success. Driven back by the general preponderance of the democracy. it retires with amaleciction against the waywardness of the popu- ler inclinations and the incapacity of large bodies of men for a republican government. Such is the purty which has held in ite hands the ad- ministration of the national government. and the honer and interests of the. country, for the Jast four years aud neurly all that time in a minority of the suffrages of the people. ‘he time has now come to drive thei from the power which they have abused. to retake the citadel. and to re establish the government in the hands of the na- tional democracy Will the noble Stete of New York be the foremost in this grand restorative effort, or shail whiggery still hor own. and make jf the seminary of noxious ‘Your love of democracy, ‘ou have thus far maintained the conflict, all respond in the negative to the whiz claim, and declare your deter- mination that New York can and shall be edcemed. ‘The exertions of the young democracy in the city will go far to insure a victory in the State; and your brethren abrond, who admire your determined spirit, and are with intense interest watching the result, will regard a full victory in the city as decisive for the Stato, and as ren- deving doubly sure the national result, In the spirit of reconciliation and harmony, let our re- vnited brotherhood forget the things which’ are behind, ond press onward to those which are before; and to the last day of our lives we shail look back with pleasure and | pride to the victory of °62, which restored the nationality | of our party, gave our country peace from its internal egitetions. restored its honor abroad. and hastened its gress in the march of prosperit the manificent fature which awaits’ it, Once more--democracy now expects every man to do s dut With earnert wisbos for your and our auccess. and in the union of a progrossive democracy. whether we sus- ceed or not.

The re peptie of Franklin Pierce, we all know. suffered; put he bas been freed from thore base and eruel charges. First he was denounced as a coward What is the universal voice of the army on that subject ? Why, Generai Scott aud all others agreed that he iss lant, brave, honorable. and high-minded man He like his father, volunteered in the service of his country. His old father, as you know, in the days of the revolution, wens valiantly to Bunker's Hill and there fought for his cou ; and there it was that he learned his political education; and he has instructed his son to be faithful and true to those principles which cherished pps life. That ey. man labored with Jackson with Jeffersoa, with Madison, aud with ail the great lights of democracy, for the advancement of democratic principles; but he, too, has been assailed in bis grave—that grave bas been opened to assail the memory of that good oid man, in order to cast a prejudice and evil influence upon bis son. (Hisees ) That son, gentlemen has done like unto his father, He was offered, after he came from the Senate of the United States, everything that New Hampshire could give him. They offered to send him again to the Senate; they offered him an office in the government of the State ; they olered him the Attorney Generalship of the Stat none would he accept. The President of the United States offered him the office of Attorney General to the United States; but you know that he said to him— I will never leave my naitve State again unless Tam called upon to defend my country in time of war.” Loud cheers ) ‘That call was made; and then promptly ‘id Franklin Pierce respond, for he enlisted as a pri vate in the town of Concord, showing the young men of our country that he was determined to stand by the na- tional fing. and induce them to do the like It had its influence, He went down to Mexico, periled his life for his country. and returned home with the approving voice of the whole army and officers. Go to a rick soldier, and ask him about General Pierce, and hewill tell you that Franklin Pierce gaye ail his money, and surrendered all his comforts to assuage the sufterings of the sick, (Cheers.) It is known, and upon record. He did not do this looking to high office or the commendation of his countrymen, but like the great principles included in the platform of our perty at ualti- more, it commended itself to his judgment. and these things ecmmended them to the good and the kind heart of Franklin Pierce, (Cheers.) I, then, knowing him, can say that bis record is clean, that he isa man pure of heart, a patriot in all his feelings, and a statesman worthy of a high position, As Andrew Jackson was assailed, he has been asrailed; andin my opinion he will come out of the White House with a reputatioa like unto Andrew Jackson. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, you know the history of New Humpshire well, and you know that for the last twenty years federaliem has had no power there, save once, and only once; and to General Pierce, more then to any other man in our State, do we owe the determined resolution of the democratic party to sustain these principles. We had afflictions there, but this man’s genius, bis eloquence, his pure and exalted patriotim, have brought our party and held them together as a unit till they hava re- Bol in the midst of conflicta all over the country. to stand by the Union by the constitution, by the compro+ mise—to quiet all dissensions, and to sustain Franklin Pierce in his declaration that he knows no North, no Seuth. no East, no Weet. but the whole Union. Sager ) But Generel Scott is said by his friends to be the better man and they ask what is Pierce to do?—what do we ex- pect, fiom him? We expect, I think more of him than merely to declare his principles—to declare his love for this or that man—to love the Insh brogue and German accent, Weexprct mere than that of him We expect certain well known and well-defined principles ; and he will do this for his tirmpets is sufficient and bis patriotism suf- ficient. (Loud cheers) And he will, in my judgment, receive the approbation of the entire democratic party in the courve he will pursue in the administration, He goes into it foot free, and 1 do not believe a man upon this earth knows his opinions in relation to cabinet officers. for he is entirely upshackled. He goes there as the chicf- tain of the democratic party, and will recognice ali his democratic friends who are in the democratic fold He has not aeked the eulfrages of the psople by any ad- cuplandum operation, He goes Before the Amerioan peo- ple..and stands upon bis own merits Hoe has made no pilgrimage to the Bine Licks of Kentucky; he has hunted Sor nothing, except in the general huntof running a coon into pladole, ‘Cheers snd laughter) That he has dove repeatedly for years pact—boled the cnan im the Beate of New Hampshire, avd now he is to be captain in the gene- raldnt to hole Coon Seott and all. (Cheers ) He stands hirh. and his patriotism stands upon a sound and solid Aooting, and the Awerican people believe that he will ad- minister the goyernment upon the principles of justice. What are the principles of General Scott? What will be the guiding light of his administrativn? We know what will guide Frenklin Pierce's administration. We know it will be by the establishment of democratic rie, and that the langurge of the constitution will be his polar star. Will that be so with General Scotti? Has he not one fac for the South, end another for the North? General Scott's principles are like piratical vecsels painted to reremble merchantmen, If it were not for democratic doctrines, we shovld not asremble here to night as Union men, for the great principles professed by the democratic y have wione kent it from being rent asunder; and it ? is impossible that it can be sustained except by the fol lowing out of the strict letter of the constitution, which The cou ti- the democratic party have elways obcerved tution is the instrument Pierce in his adm wind blow the old ship up guide her away into a free, open, deep and safe von (Loud cheers) New, LC challenge frends of General Scott’ to declare what his principles are in any place, except round New York.

He honored General Scott for his military virtues, and he would not take a feather out of his cap. But he was a mere military man, and had not the first qualification for ruling over civi- liane.
