Important Letter from a Southern Oentle raan at tlie Hort. My Dear Sir:1 am sorry that in your letter you did not write to me something about our prospects in the approaching con test in truth a crisis in our country. Such letters, especially when thev aro encjonrncr.riir. have the finest effects in these parts. TThe j-reinocracy ot me IN orth are making stren uous and noble exertions asainst all odds trn. and they look with an anxious solicitude to the course of the South that portion of our Union which has hitherto so fVmlv imd nobly stood by principle in opposition to the miserable doctrine of expediency. Thev have here the nreat battle to fi Southern rights, for it is here they have to en counter the abolitioa question, the Bank question, the Tariff question, and most boldly do they fight: for what pleased mc most in their political discussions, was tlie ooen and undisguised manner in which thev dis cuss the Tariff, Internal Improvement and iiuoiuion questions ot course attacking C7 tnem as iniquitous measures. Under such circumstances, they ought to hear some en couraging voice from the South. 18th September, 1840 I left off, and since I commenced this letter have been to the great meeting at Poughkeep- s,e great it may be truly called, for without exaggeration, it might be said that the dem ocracy ot that meeting covered acres, and could only be computed by acres, to use the expression of Mr Bryce. I left New York in a boat containing one hundred persons. We were accompanied by five other boats, all deeply laden with noble hearted republicans. At Poughkeepsie we were met by tlie boats from Troy and Albany with at least 6,000 persons, and we were told that at least 1,500 were left at these two places, who could not get boats. Besides all these, the way boats with the farmers of the River counties added their numbers, and to these are to be added those who came in wagons from the interior. When all were collected it formed one of the highest moral spectacles I have ever witness ed for what can be a higher moral spectacle than to witness 40,000 persons assembled together to discuss the great principles which should guide their beloved republic, and to confer with each other as to the best means of ensii. Ir-g success to them. They met tor this noble object, tijJJiJL' fe'e Proceedings j -j j . x "V r i . . a of the day, calm, dispassionate, and sound discussion of th principles of the government. What struck every one forcibly was, the re spectable appearance of those composing this vast meeting, as well in dress as in intelli gence of countenance. Their deportment throughout tho day corresponded in all re srierts to their appearance. The proceedings of this day will have its influence far and near in this State. Its effects on me is to give me good grounds for believing that the electoral vote of this State will be given to the republi can candidate. In this hasty letter, I must omit many de tails, which I should be glad if I had time to narrate, for each one was indicative oi the serious and determined manner in which this election is to be carried out by the democracy of this State. One point, however, I must not omit to you, which is, that Alabama was there in the persons of Col. Ilallet, Mr Scott, and Mr Bragg, of Mobile. The latter gen tleman addressed the meeting, pledging Ala bama to the support of correct principles, &c, &.c, &c. His speech was very happy, and had a fine effect. Louisiana was also repre sented, and I bciieve there were some treor gians. Silas Wright is to-day to address the merchants at the Exchange. As he always makes a good speech, I have no doubt that his effort to-day will confirm some of the wa vering, and it is not too much to expect that he will gain over to our side some of the rea sonable whig merchants, for it is well under stood here, that some of the whig merchants, lately our most decided opponents, have fully avowed their conviction that Mr Van Buren's -..-r.Wfinn is necessarv to the true business interests of the country, and will therefore give him their votes. All this tends to confirm our hopes of this State, and this the South ought to know, for all political parties : Anti-Masonry, Abolition and that miserable but still active faction, the Conservatives, worse than all, they have ar rayed against them the influence of concen trated wealth, for wherever it may come from,' its influence is certainly felt. No wonder, then, that in this great strug gle, their eyes should be turned with a strong and almost painful anxiety to the South. Can. the South, the generous South- that portion of our Union, which has prided herself on the' support of Constitutional principles in opposi tion to expediency, prove recreant now, and abandon all those cardinal points which she has so long and so dearly cherished ? I have made but one auswer to those who have anx iously inquired of me on.this subject I cau make but one answer that she will not. Her past course her future standing equally for bid it. But, besides this view of the case,' the South has a practical question at stake in this matter, which she must look to. The nomination of General Harrison carried with it the conviction to the mind of every reflect ing man, that his nomination was a conces sion to the abolitionists, who$e influence by that act was most earnestly courted. That disturbing faction has most completely real ized all that was expected from them those who will not see this now must be put with that class of whom, it is said, there are none so blind as those who will not see. The "Ver mont and Maine elections afford positive proof of this alliance of the abolitionists with the whigs. A comparison of the recent with the elections of 1833. shows this most con clusively. Let the South look, too, to the law passed last winter by the whig Legislature of this State, with regard to the secrecy of fugi tive slaves let them ponder on that law the most perfect violation of constitutional security and rights, that has yet taken place. This faction was upon its last legs until the nomination of General Harrison, but when that was made, they were inspired with new, even to them, almost unexpected hopes. I have heard it stated that previously to that nomination, some of the most prominent of them had advised the disolution f their so cieties, on the ground that public opinion was too strong for them, and being so feeble, they were only injuring the cause which they wish to promote. But they said to them selves, when they found themselves courted by one of the parties of the country we are, after all, not so significant; Let us stand firm, and if General Harrison can be elect ed by our aid, we form the necleus of a party, wnich will gather such strength, that m another io The BfcAWIfc CHECKS for sale at this OFFICE Twhi'no- ia more natural than that those hght- iv.e in a common cause are encouraged by the well directed exertions of their compan ions in the contest. Tell Alabama, therefore, that she may still hope for the Union, for that the democracy of the Empire State is roused, and will make such exertions as I think can not but he crowned with victory, and may God grant it. I will send you a paper con taining a -minute description of that day's proceedings. Have it published in the Mont gomery Advertiser. - Mr Jefferson once said, that the democra cy of the North were the natural allies of the South. The observation of that sagacious man was never more fully realized than at this moment, and it strikes one more forcibly at this time, from the fact that all the leadiug measures of the present Administration are precisely those for which the South has always been contending. The single-hearted dem ocracy of the North have taken up these nuestions manfully, as I have before remark ed, and they have taken their stand in tho face of great odds against them, for it is a different thine to fight the battles of Southern principles here to what: it is in the South. Here they have arrayed against them a combination of this win me result, trn me oiner nana, ii Mr Van Buren is re-elected, they will receive a blow in that, which will prostrate them to the earth for the party which now invokes their aid, finding them useless to their political purposes, will, for a regard to other interests, be among the first to put them down. They will return to their natural insignificance, and then, alike useless to any party, and despised by all, will find themselves under the necessi ty of dissolving their societies. Those who cannot see results, which I have hastily sug gested, must be little observant of the motives which influence human action. 'Obsta prin ripus' is a good maxim to observe in politi cal disorders as well as in moral and physical ones. If the South sleep on this subject now, she may be first aroused from her sleep by the midaight assassin, and the torch, which is to light to destruction the now happy and peaceful abodes of her citizens. Can she be indifferent on this to her sb vital a subject ; now, which she may rest assured is a crisis for her domestic institutions? Credat Ju- dceus non Eg&. Is there any thing m the election of General Harrison, or what he may do in other matters, comparable with the fear ful results growing out of this question ? I advise every man, before he goes to the polls on the momentous day, which is to decide the fate of this Republic, to look on the wife of his bosom and the child of his hopesand if, after that, he can deposit a ballot, which may jeopardize the happiness of both, all I can say is, God help them with such a protector.j But, he cannot. One practical result must be drawn from the view I have taken which is, that -the South not one State but the whole South, must come to the rescue of what here is to the democracy of the ISorth, an abstract . question but to the South, one of life and t ... ... j i . death; mat ner citizens, woo renew nmsi yield up personal preference and minor points in this coutest, for the preservation of what, besides being a great question, as affecting their political rights, i3 one of fearful import to them in a practical point of view. The South must be convinced that she must rely on herself in thi3 contest. - . In the glorious Revolution consecrated ia the heart of every lover of freedom through out the habitable globe, the patriot soldiers of the day had to fall back on the South there to fight the battle and terminate the contest either for liberty or colonial vassalage. There the battles were fought and nobly fought and there in the South, on the consecrated -ground of York Town, was the glorious con- , summation of freedom achieved.
