have recently addressed letter to MI
M. Noah, Esq. in which, after expressing g
'neir admiration of his " "uniform demo1
cratic course as a politician and an edi1
tor. they stete that they are anxious
that new paper should be established d
IN the city of fNew York to be under bis
sole direction. We subioin the answer B
of Mr.. Noah to this letter So
New York, Aug. 81, 1882.
Gentleman,-Your favor of the 9th
August, requesting me to establish rel
publican paper in this city, under my
sole direction, with offers of your sup1
port, has reached me. thank you foI
the sentiments Of confidnnce and good
will it contains, but after twenty-five
years Of active and jealous labor in tho
sood cause, l .fattered myself that l wad
entitled so a furleugh for limited period
When disposed Of the New York En1
quirer in 1929, I entered into bonds with
heavy snreties, not to establish or bel
concerned in any newspaper in this city
or vicinity, for the term of eight years.
a moity Of which time has scarcely e1
lapsed. am, therefore precluded from
taking the step you advise but new
paper is not required m this city. High
as estimate the influence Of the Press
in this country, and important as tho aid
Of prominent politicians and proper or1
ganization may be considered, it 10 sin1
gular fact, that no public man has rel
quired such aid less than General Jack
son. He has q tranquil but deep seated
popularity which cannot be shaken bJ
oppoDents, nor greatly strengthened b.
the eulogy offriends. Presses may TAX :
sides for or against him without materi{
al efect--the people, who appreciate hi
services, believe him an honest man, &
believing 20, will not forsake h,m. ID
this city, which has for % many year
given SO many powerful majorities 70
the regularity nominated republican tick
ct, our prospects are equally fattering
and as long as we guard against extran
eous influence and keep united, the Op
position will scarcely be felt. Equal
flattering are the prospects thronehov
the State, calculations have been mad
on the electoral vote, and even friend4
at distance have considered tue issu
doubtfnl.
Let US never dispair Of good causQ
think know something of public Opir
ion IN this State and feel confident, thd
il 10 in sound aud healthy condition.
Coalitions Of discordant materials fd
personal advancement, may be forme
by leading politicians, but the peopl
the true depository Of power, are not a
ways parties to these bargains. II II
old Democracy continues united. if
fiuence is given to all corresponding
with character aud talents. together wi
an absence Of petty disputes and fami
discords, where 10 the power in tf
state, 10 meet and overthrow ms
we unite cordially and discard all loc
jeaIousies and personal views, we she
carry the electoral vote by a. decided NJ
jority. We ought to carry n--ni ~h
period in our history I'as the Cnir'
States presented 30 nnbToken front
national prosperity
Respected by foreign powers, the gn.
| faith of the nation redeemed in all
| contracts and credits redress obtain,
for former injuries, the national de
paid, commercial treuties of great valid
adopted, it does appear that while inte
nal commotions are shaking Europe
It's centre, we are on prosperous aI
steady march to power, which is irr
sistible. 1t is true, there is speek
discomfort and trouble IN the South, a,
men Of great ability are broaching ne
and dangerous doct Tines, which seve
eights Of the Union can never reco
nize, yet strange as il may appear, sue
sections Of the confederacy, are st
unwilling to part with Andrew Jackso
with the knowledge, that he 10 in prind
pie and practice, decidedly opposed
such doctrines. His reelection ther
fore should be desired by every tr
Patriot. What earthly object can
have, after life Of peril and publ
service, than the good Of our coinmd
country I and at this crisis, am CO
vinced that no nan can do more to pc
serve the Unlom With the re-electid
Of General Jackson, (which is beyor
doubt we may hope to see every pa
of the country united, the principl
which brought him into power sustaine
differences Of opinion adjusted, and di
sensions among the coed and talent
men Of the nation, reconciled. The
are my views. Icxpress them to you frs
ly. Ihave ever in or out Of Office, take
becoming interest in the affairs of Il
country, and say, Jet u take the fis
with energy and confidence, and we chs
succeed. Twas almost the first in III
State who advocated the election Of Ge
Jackson, and shall be the last to aba
don him.
Respectfally, your ob't servant.
M. M. NOAH.
