TIE tpo Or.an, Of u. CourL.

pleasant little by.piuy has been in progress
for some days between the Court Gazette at Wash.
ington, and the aspiraht for Executive confidence,
IN this City. 1t wakes warm. A disposition to
oyeneach each other, is nantes, in both. That
both may succeed, is oil that we desire.
The Enquirer confirms the last pass between the
worthless. IL is too good to be omitted
From ne Enquirer.
We have no disposition to handy advice with the
Mad .cOnian-but II appears to us, that no cOnsid-
crate Editor would justify its own want OF "dgni-
ty," by following the example, of any other press.
We would advise its employers, however, TO look
to its course. The press, which claims to be the
organ of the Government, ought not only to pos.
sess some dignity, but much experience, and no
little discretion. The present Editor Of the official
organ Is evidently young hand at the political
he .lOWs-And u may require some little time, with
all his prccocy for him to acquire even the art OF
puGlg his friends--much less OF HLAsTIEG his enc
MES We have sought no war With the MadtsO.
nlaR-we arc free 10 say that we would prefer is
friendship 10 ITS hostllity-but we will speak what
we believe 10 30 the truth, even OF the risk Of pro.
voking its resentment
We have q case Of tho Msdisonian's want of cons-
Iteration ~ the very question before us.-Docs II
mean 10 say, that Mr. Tyler's Message (hboIt the
Distribution of the Proceeds Of the Public L8nds)
does point to this "Bank Scheme based upon tho
Public Land Proceeds" Does II mean to irsinu-
ate that even Mr. Tyler himself Is now in favor Of
such a Schemel Does II even mean to soy, that
Mr. Spencer would cover his support Of this Bank
Scheme, under Mr. Tylefs Messugcl Does IL
even mean To say, that Mr. Spencer IL in lovor oi
the scheme3 SO al least we understand from It's
reference 70 tho Messdgo-as we'll as Us avoiding
to make n direct answer 10 our inCuOgaiOry. And
II So, then every thing we nave s1id about the
scheme is in season, and about Mr. Spencers Opin-
ION Is correct We shall oppose the scheme with
more spirit, because II Is sanctioned bY the support,
and promoted by the abillticr Of Mr. SpCncer-and
VIC shall suspect Mr. SIS course the more, because
h. IS in favor Of any such Scheme. The official
ought 70 have cleared Mr. SIS skuts oi any such
plan, n he would show that ns Cabinet minister
he was, as he is said 10 have been, anti Bank.
But tho Madisonisn is pleased 10 ask zone qu's.
H0n Of ne Enquirer Does IL mean, By as5aiiing
Mr. Spencer TO support the Administration Of John
Tyler or not7 we will cheeduy publish Us de-
n'lJ" More discretion, and toe, certainly, 10 the
Ofical Organl Bot, as II has put the question, We
will answer il frankly. When Mr.. Tyler's Admin.
strstion supports the Constitution and Interests Of
his country, we will cordially support u. Whom il
carries out schemes that we disipproye, We will op
BOO Them. we owe much TO Mr.. Tyler for his
veloes-but We cannot sacrifice every thing to
them. We cannot support MIR. Tyler when he
does wrong-sull less cin we support Mr.. Spen.
Ger. We will oppose the unconstitutional rnea.
sures Of both. we will critiolso Mr.. Spenccfs
coursa-nay, assail him, when we think him
will repair IL, as we showed IN the very article,
which has called forth the criticism Of the "oDciai
papsy,n as IL claims 10 be. We leave Il To the Ma
dsonan 10 play tho Poet Laureate-to oulogize his
employers in oil their measures-to earn his laurel
and his but OF Mslmsey by its indiscrininato pane
envy him his vocation, nor will we initiate his ex
ample. We neither aspire to the distinction Of con.
Quoting official paper, nor will We submit 10 the
drudgery which IL imposes
