THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

we recently published the nomination of President
jackson for reelection by the New York Courier g.
Enquirer, In the name and on behalf of the Republi-
can Party! This print is that lately edited by Mai
Noah, who has pocketcd the Surveyorshp of the
Port OF New York, for his services to Tie Hero and
retired to enjoysotium dgniiute. Soon after his
retirement, the Enquirer was consolidated with the
Courier, conducted by one Mr.. Webb, and the ANAL
gum remains u2der his guidance, with the compound
appellation of the Courier and the Enquirer Having
erected himself into supreme empire, over whatever
concerns the Republican Party-s interests, usages,
nominations, and the atest and most authentic marks
by which true Republican may be known and
trusted-it may be interesting to the people of Viz
GINA, who generally belong to the Republican
School-to know little more of, who this Mr.. Webb,
this kind guardian and grautous organ ofMc Repub-
lican Party, is? This information is supplied by an
authority held paramount by every true Jacksonan-
in Short by Gen. Duff Green, himself. Tn the Tele
graph of Wednesday, appears the following notices
of Lit. james Watson Webb:
"Who is it that speaks thus' Is not this print
under the political guidance of Lieut.. Webb late of
the United States Army? Is he no. tie same man
who having received subaltern's commission from
Mr.. Monroe: was treated with more than paternal
kindness by his commanding officer Did he not
iePy ldt hlhuDcSS oy preferrInT twenty false
charges against his bcnetactor? Was he not driven
from the army in disgrace? Did he not after wards
by accidet obtain interest in, and control over q
paper protesting to adhere to the usares of the Re-
publican partye Did he not afterwards oppose the
regularly nominated candidate for that party from
considerations Of private interest? Did he not obtain
seat IN the Republican Nominating Committee by
1'std6e, and was nc not thrown out of Tammany Hall
sans cen emonie, cuioteS2 Did he not abandon
Gen Jackson by withdrawing his name as the candi-
date of his paper for few paltry advertisements?
Did he not publish in the Courier of the 18th Nuve-
Der, 1928, the following notice:
'E%PUfstoN, PBosCRrPTIoN.--TbeG General ReDub-
hcan Committee as is called of the city and county
'o1 New YORK, met last evening at Tammany and
passed resolution only to discontinue their sub
scrption to The Morning Courier but rarev decided
that our hereto paper should no longer be considered
AN organ of the party. Have they the vanity to
think or believe that their dcnunciation will affect
'our prosperity?
Did he not, on the same day, speaking of Major
Noah, publish in the Courier. the following:
u To the religious and moral portion Of the com
munity we say, read the proclamation OF this self
created Judge of Israeli and Judge for yourself of its
'6taSPhemy Christians, you read il without
shudderng! Can you uphold the man that thus tri1cs
with every thing sacrcd' Answer on your coDsci
'ences'
Did not his abuse Of the Enquirer, and his utter
want OF Judgment and capacity as an Editor bring
the Courier into dsrepue and involve its proprictors
in heavy losses? Did he not afterwards, with the
funds OF other men, purchase the Enquirer under the
nope that be could purchase the Republican party?
