speech delivered by Mr.. TALEMADGE in the
city Of New York on his return home from
Washington. to which we invite the special
attention Of our readers. Few, we think, will
rise from the perusal, without keen appetite
for the remainder, which will be given in our

DELIcAcY REFINED AND PATRIOTISM
OF THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER
The last Richmond Enquirer contains an
article commencing as follows:
Mn RrvEs-The Wing Of yesterday morning has
Touched upon the relations which has subssted be-
tween Mr.. Rives and ourselves. Decacy might
have restrained the hands OF other elitors, (R M
Whitney exceped) Justice might have guided the
pencil.
delicacy manifested BY Mr.. Richie in intro
ducine the name Of Mr.. Whiiaey al all in the
above. Why is his name introduced as an
editor by excepting him from " other cdi-
tors 7" We have never seen or heard it
announced that Mr.. w. was an editor, except
ing in the reracious official organ, stating that
he was the editor Of the Madisonian, which
both himself and ourself gave a fiat contradict
ton 10. Now after that, the editor Of the En-
quirer intima,es that Mr.. w. is an editor, and
talks Of $ deiicacy!"
Mr.. Whitnsy appears to have been to the
editor THE Enquirer sort ofapparition that
was constantly haunting him. Something
more than year since, Mr.. Richie asserted
that Mr.. Whitney was the Fidus .Achates Of
the Madisonian. Then, again, subsequently,,
he announced on his own motion and authori-
ty that Mr.. Whitney was the author Of a series
ofessays that appeared in this paper under the
signature Of Talerius PubHus Now. this
may be " delicacy" as defined by Mr.. Richie,
when he finds himself so closely cornered in
, argument that il becomes necessary fol him
to endeavor TO draw the attention Of the pub
lie off from that to something else, by way Of
getting rid Of it.
| IfMr. Richie is DESTROYS taking a tilt and
breaking lance in a fair arena with Mr.. Whit-
ney. we do not doubt he will find him saddled,
bridled and caparisoncd for the conflict when
ever he shall see fit to throw down the gaunt-
let. So much for the delicaey Of Mr.. Richie.
Now to his patriotism and love Of country.
In the same paper, in the comments with
which he introduced his letter to Mr.. Plea
SAINTS, MIR. Richie with an air of apparent
exntation, exclaims
"We found fault with the Proclamation, the Pro-
test, and some other measures Of Gen Jscksonsand
the Wing may say what peases, let the appa
rent heeses in the Proclamation rest until we had OBJ
tanned an authoritative discsimer Of them What Re-
publican paper the Continent has done more we
dare to say. much What paper has freely spoken
out Its objections to the course of General Jackson,
even so far as to annoy him. and dssatsfg many Of his
friends! But we're we therefore, TO make war upon
his whole administration Were we TO abandon that
lnstous man, who has done more to arrest the tri-
nmphant march Of Federalism than any other Presi-
den-becausc one frghtfu precedent had accumulated
upon another-one usurpaton was piled upon another
until we formerly said the very OF State Rights
was scarcely sounded beyond the Potomac"
| 1t seems, therefore, that, according to. this,
the Richmond Enquirer was the guardian at
one time Of General Jackson, and never per-
mitted him to rest, until he put forth, by com
pusion from him, a disclaimer Of the heresies
contained in the Proclamation. How iortu-
nate for the country, that there existed one,
and that one the editor ofthe Enquirer,who ex.
ercised sufficient influence over General Jack
son, to induce him to renounce his heresies
What pity that General Jackson had not Sc
tected the editor of the Enquirer for his Fa-
ther Coniessor
What did all the opposition to the measures
of General Jackson, of which the Enquirer
boasts, amount to, be it as much or more than
any other Republican paper evinced, when
he gave him his undivided support, although
ONE FRIGHTFUL PRECEDENT had accumulated
upon another one UsURPATIoN was piled
upon another, until the very name Of Slate
Rights hardly existed beyond the Potomac.
The editor of the Enquirer may call this
Patriotism, we can give it no other nor more
exalted term than degrading man arorshiP,
such as that now evinced, when he declares he
will sink or swim with the man, though he
still condemns his measures.
