But the Legislature Of that State either did not or
would not understand them. The Message fell harm
less to the ground. Even the Richmond Enquirer de-
Voteu 10 lhe Governor, dared not at that uphold
defend that Message" That venerable man knows well
That we never went for nulhcaon) But, grow
more bold as the party has gathered strength by the
accession OF new proselytes the ENQUIRER now cchoes
the language of the prints above referred to- and
uiat not only is the Tariff strongly excepionatIe
but there are other lchments &c. &c' Yes and

and pervesions that the Ineligencer seeks TO insinu

Immediately aiter,a ncxcusabe misrcpresent a.

does the IUtegencer charge upon the Editor of the
Enquirer lwhom it is pleased for this purpose call the
Norgan OF the party" &C., Seq Why, he sstcils us
that Madison and he do not agree that the sage Mont
peler has not kept pace with the march OF intellect:
that he Is not up TO the year eighteen hundred and thr-
ty,in which Government and all other machinery go by
steam and, finally, sneeringy tells that MIR Madison
has fallen back TO his federal doctrines of 1897 Ora

Lycurgus, virtuous, though still barbarous, one who
would have &C ed as the Enquirer has scruped on
tins occasion 10 do towards the venerable Madison,
would have been looked upon as having dshonored his
country as well as hmse It. And what does the Enqu-
er mean when ii says that Mr.. NJ. has fallen back TO
his federal doctrines OF 1872
And now what will the Reader think of this gross
perversion, when he learns that have not said at

The New Haven Advertiser insinuates that Mr. RS
appointment was merely contrvance, by which the
expense of supporting this interesting invalid abroad
should dcyove on the United States I" Does the
Advertiser credit its iiliberal insinuation!-The
Providence Journal, &c. falsely declares that Mr. r.
was incompetent to the country when lie was ap-
pointed. Why then he confirmed by the Senate
UiM0m opposition? Why did Mr.. Webster give il his
audible appreciation? Where were those vigiIant cent?
Dels-Barton, Noble, &C.! AS they approved his ap.
pointnent-what follows! Ether that the accounts of
Mr. RS. disqualhcaons ISLANDERS, as they really
areor that these honorable Senators must share the
censure OF an improper appointment What will Messrs.
webster, Johnston, &c say to this obvious dilemma!
Touching the gross exaggerations, which have been
eagerly propagaed about MIR. RS. conduct at ST P
we lay before readers the following articles ON the
BOSTON Statesman, and the Charleston JUercuyy.-Tbe
facts, which referred 10 by the Statesman rest up
on the authority Of Capt Turner, whom the Coalition
prints Of Boston stated before his arrival have been
more intimate with Dir. r., than any other American

Mercury 1t would not he difficult to distinguish the
production OF the intimate and enlightened friend Of Mr.
