The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1837-12-16
From he Oaondag a IN. " Standard.

The old adage, that whilst one may steal with mpu-
nifty, another will be hung for looking over the wall, has
been apy illustrated BY the bearing Of certain journals
this state, towards the two administration papers at
Washington--tbe Globe and Madisonian. The afro
cious of the Globe in relation to the
causes Of the defeat Of the republican party, in this
state, at the late election, suffered TO pass unre-
buked but the instant the Madsonan found tripping,
the 'hundred eyes, quick detect and correct the
fault We consider the position assumed by the Madi
sonian, that formation Of parties must necessarily
grow out Of existing relations as untenabe, and we
have doubt il is which that paper will not hest
tate to abandon, when il shall appear soon must,
that the republicans Of the Union who are opposed to
the heresies Of loco oeosn do moi deem requisite TO
the vndcation Of their principles that resort should be
had 10 change Of organization alternative
in which they have had experience. whilst the exam
pies of their opponents have been sufficiently numerous
and unsuccessful to deter them from its adoption -
Yet regard the error very pardonable especially
in whose claims to political experience are not quite
equal his ordinary manifestations OF good sense, and
whose mind, smartng under undeserved defeat, ma
turally upon the consideration Of means for the
speedy recovery Of the republican ascendency For
the Globe no such apology can be offered.
Without waiting receive the returns from half the
State or to obtain the opinion Of the republican press,
upon the which had induced the adverse result,
hat paper hdsfens Nth indecent ZEAL tcih malice pre-
pense, and upon its orn responsibility, 10 attack The
banking installations Of The State to ascribe 10 them
Of action aguif them, and to hold them untable for
consequences in which they have neither interest or
stake Fouicr Islander issued from The press Than
e Globe has seised occasion 10 ntr in the renewal
Of its insane upon the banks of this State and
have looked with increasing surprise at the delay for
the application Of efficient check 10 It's headlong
from the quarter most competent and most under
obligations to administer it. Our silence shall be
admitted longer proof Of the justice Of its mpu
tations.
We have word two to say in relation to the Off
ca organ at Washington, which we may as well express
now The Globe is destined to be Mr.. Van Burens
,cnding sheet Its malign influence has contributed,
powerfully the defeat which the administration has
suffered the State which should have been the last to
facr in his support Its promulgaon and sefwiled
support of radical measures have divided the Republic
can party upon fundamental doctrines, and whilst thus
separated it is impossible infuse into the old demo-
cratic phaanx the ardor which formerly led 1t forth to
certain victory fthe Globe was IN the secret service
Of the United States Bank, it could not be effec
tuay paving the way for the re-establshment Of that
odous moneyed and political power Its nsidious effort
overthrow the State banking systems its erocious
attacks upon classes Of czens its prescription Of some
of the abest and soundes friends Of the administration,
and its Lnvaryng vicious, bitter and irritating tone upon
nearly every subject discussed in its columns, has well
nigh exiting the patriotic spirit Of the democracy,
and substituted in its stead feelings Of disgust for the
past aud indifference for the future. The Republican
party can rise under the weight that has borne it
to the ground The Globe must retire or be remoped
or zee pcnfrc the predictions that the accidental
success OF the Wings, will prove the prelude to a
tinued triumph
II is useless, and than useless in judg-
ment and we submit tho remark for the benefit Of
some who are interested in the prosperity Of the party
within the State, let what may happen without-to de-
ceivc ourselves, Others by ascrIbng late defeat
influences which had little effect,
" secondry Let prefer to face truth in its naked
form instead of copynp the instinct of the bird Of the
Desert Let rather "probe the real causes" as the
Argus recommended, the frs, impulse, produced by
the result and kill the feveed patient by the adm
nstraton OF stulants under the belief that nature is
strong enough to surmount both the disease and the
false remedies The Republican party cannot be main
tanned in false position. IL must be restored 10 its
former vantage ground, every succeeding conflict
will reduce It's nnmbers power and influence, until
none shall be found at las. poor to do 1t reve-
