Dear Sir, 1 received your favor communicating the patriotic purposes and views of tbe Young Men of Philadelphia; and I tnke pleasure, in compliance with your request, in stating some of the principal objects which engage tho common lesiro and common exertions of the Whig party to liring about in tho Government of tho United States. The are: A SOUND NATIONAL CURRENCY, regulated by the Will and Authority of the Nation: An aderpiato Revenue, with a FAIR PROTECTION tn American Industry: Juit restraints on tho Executive power, embracing n fur- .. . .i r -t If . mcr itriiririion on inu ixrrcitn oi me veto.

The latest dates from tho cast inform us that i quiet has been restored in Philadelphia ; but that the military ia still stationed in different parts of the city and Kensington. It is to bo sincercly hoped that no further outbreak will be made. Many valuable lives wero lost, and the amount of property destroyed immense, which will havo to bo paid for by tho couuty of Philadelphia ; but tho blood spilt cannot be recalled. Tho nobio spirits there sacrificed have gone, wc trust to a bettor world. Wo cannot conceive of any circumstances under which wo could defend tho lawless actions of a mob. But in this instanco which party was cniitlod to the namo 1 Tho direct cause of the riot is well understood. Tho Native Americans had mot in a capacity guaranteed to them by tho tho struggles of their fathors in tho revolution and confirmed by the Constitution of our country. They stood upon their own soil a soil common to all froemon. They met in open day, conscious of their right so to assemble. Beside tlieir stand they displayed tho stars and stripes, as an

1 emblem of their deliberation? being dedicated to thecau.su of their country. They entered upon the discussion of groat, and as they deemed thorn, important principles, and while thus engaged they were set upon by bruto force, and compelled to leave tho ground, which was strrined by the blood of brothers and friends. The flag of their country was torn down insultingly trampled in the dust, and that glorious banner, which has waved in triumphed over many a battle fiuld, consecrated by tho best bk.I of America's purest patriots, desoc rated by alien and murderous hands. This wc bolievo to be a true statement of the onset. Was it right to submit to such an outrage ? The 1 aw could not bo put in force, and decisive action was necessary. No man, whoso heart warmed a patriot bosom, could bo otherwise than indignant. Was that indignation the spirit of moboeracy ? Who would daro to thus characterise it 1 No true American. Wc wero near the scone of conflict when tho strengthened arm of justico was dealing retribution upon the heads of those who had committed this great outrage, and we must confess that our whole heart was enlisted in behalf of those who

woro thus defondin zens. They then friends of liberty when the object been attained when tho minions of an unholy and foreign influence had been dispersed, and tho supremacy of tho rights of the people had been maintained, all unlawful acts should have coasod. Then, and not till then, did tho spirit of tho infu riated populace become entitled to tho namo pf , mob, anl while the spirit of revenge alone was j gratified, churches and houses burned private j.roperty destroyed, and innocent persons forced ; to flee for their lives, thoy should receive tho condemnation of all friends of right and justice lir . .i v o aro not prepare J to sny,who, or what class of destruction of nr . t - I opcr y , ! ,o Nativo Americans as a -.l It T:,l 1 ' xlinit.
