THE ATTACK ON THE NAVY.


The editor of the Richmond Enquirer
says:
"The Madisonian, too, chimes inland says that
the Globe has not denied that Mr.. himself was the
writer or that they were published by his request or
authority, and does believe that he will do
So Had we felt ourselves at liberty to speak upon
the subject we could have denied within five days
after the articles had appeared, the agency Of the
Secretary In this transaction. We cav letter from
him, expressly declaring that he not the author
and that he did not know who was"
We tell the editor of the Enquirer again,
that we are confident he has been deceived,
imposed upon. We have such information
as reduces It to near approach to certainly.
that the Hon. ]. X. Paulding wrote every
word Of the two articles published in the Globe
assauting the Navy.
Says the Enquirer, Mr.. Paulding expressly
declared he was not the author, and that he
did not know who was. Why did not Mr.. P.
promptly and unequivocally disavow all know
ledge of the authorship of the attacks the mo-
ment he saw they were ascribed to him? That
was not enough. He owed it to the dignity
of his own station; to the character Of that
great branch of our National service and to
the whole body Of the officers Of the Navy, to
have ascerained on the instant who it was
that had arrogated to himself the right to
speak for him, decry the department of
which he is the head and Islander the officers
who are under his orders and command
This act of omission, if he is not the author, is
not less censurable than the act of commission,
in being the author would be. By his taking
no steps to ascertain who the author is and then
putting him before the public for their execration
and to satisfy their just Indignation. he gives
direct sanction to the assault. As vain
and reckless as the editor Of the official organ
is, does any one suppose that he would dare
to venture to denounce one of the great De-
partments Of the Government on his own
motionl The idea is too preposterous to be
INDUCED in for an instant. 1t would be d.
rect insult to the head Of such department !;
and he would feel bound to resent it as
such, or forfeit even self respect.
The assault has fastened itself upon the
Secretary of the Navy; nay more, upon the
President himself; and an unqualified disa-
vowal of all knowledge from whence the as
sault came. or by whom made would not be
sufficient TO exhonorate them from participant
ing in it, 1t was made in the official organ Of
the Administration. So long as they CONT
nue. to employ the conductor who published
the assault, they give countenance to it,
disavowal of all knowledge of the author
ship of the attacks by the President and the
Secretary of the Navy would not be sufi-
Gent The editor Of The official organ must be
dismissed in addition.

The editor of the Richmond Enquirer is
completely infatuated with the manners Of Mr..
Van Buren,, and by letters, puffs and lauda-
ton, he makes them the burthen Of his song.
His eating, drinking, dress, equipage, SER
wants, conversation, visiting, and the countless
little ct ceteras are trumpetted to the world as
the pinions upon which he is to soar to the
heights ofporularity. When, before, did the
Enquirer ever stoop to such trifes to advocate
Chief Magistrate : When, before, was it
ever thought necessary to lean upon so frail
and paltry reed to support man at the head
Of nation? 1t shows the weakness and
hopelessness Of its cause, when it calls off
public attention from the measures and policy
of the Chief Magistrate, to amuse and caiole
with his manners. When country is con-
vulsed in all its parts by the leading measures
of the administration, when statesmen are dis
cussing measures of the gravest and highest
import; when semi-official war has been
waged upon the navy of the United States,
when the people are every where sitting in
judgment upon the administration of their
Government, the gossip Of watering place
about the Presidents tooth-pick and nail
brush are to be thrown before the country to
give eclat and popularity to the Chief Magis-
istrate! 1t is the most contemplate of all the
expedients that folly ever framed to hoodwink
the public. 1t is weak invention, and UNI
worthy the Enquirer and the cause it advo-
Gates. No one pretends to say that Mr.. Van
Buren's manners are not good.-They are
very good, and if his measures as states
man were only half as good, softer would lie
his bed and happier his country. But the
excellence of the one, will never propitiate
dissatisfied people for the ruin of the other
The Enquirer must fall back upon the Bank
of the United States, Nick Biddlc, the Sub
Treasury rag barons, dynasty of banks and
Loco tocoism with its revolutionary schemes.
There the battle is to be fought, and the man.
ners OF his captain will be tried.

BLAIR.ANIA,

We yesterday received, through the Post
Office, copy of our paper of the lst of
August the margin Of which was nearly
covered with the illusions of one of the
Hierati of the Blair school. We do not doubt
that the author had just risen from reading the
Globe, or from fete-a-fete with its editor
For the amusement of our readers, we have
copied the paragraphs and give them below.
The following is the direction:
~. "MADISoNIAN,
sowned by the banks--and their peculiar Organ
Paragraph Isl" How much did the banks give for
you1 1t made miserable bargain at any rate"
The following refers to an article respect
ing the fourteen Conservatives who defeated
the Sub-rreasury, who were honored with the
dignifed name of Conuicts" beside their
names.
Paragraph I'd" Tha. is right, hold up these Ju-
dases before the public to the scorn and contempt OF
every man who dare call his soul his Let them
go with the damnng reflection that they, like Yourself,
sold ,hemselves-preferring rags to their countrys
good"
This refers to ourselves.
Paragraph 3d-"You shallow pated federal fool
Think you that any people, much more those who
free, be deceived by your lying misrepresentation
Your preensions avail nothing All see the hand
which moves you You dare not act, except you are
acted upon by your ownershose who control you soul
and body-the banks.
This refers also to ourselves.
Paragraph M.--" You damned lying, purchased
scoundrel"
This is somewhat la GoUGE.
Paragraph 9th" Talk of patriotism as well nigh,
hell itself boast OF its sancy Talk Of independence
as well might the damned talk OF their freedom You
dare not speak, hardly breathe, without permission Of
your Keepers
This is tinged with the sublime, certainly.
Paragraph 9Th -" Basest of the base-the fascst of
the false poor lying, hypocr,cal Jackass, as stupid
| as the sloth-withouttalent except to lie"
The lament.
Paragraph Nh" Poor miserable degraded tool
used only to do the dlrtest Of the dirty. work Of
Federaism-cringng, bowling to those whom you are
compelled to call masters"
We cannot doubt, that whoever was so kind
as thus to notice us, holds a high station
among the leaders and teachers in the Loco
Foco school,
