STRONG LOGIC.

The unsophisticaled new hands on the Intel
lgencer undertake to justify MI. Clay for going
into Ohio to cleo Ioneer for a State election, be-
cause MIR. Tyler went there too in 1910. The
difference is, MIR. Clay interferes in canvas
for State officers, himself not being citizen of
Ohio, while Mr.. Tyler went into Ohio only du-
ring struggle for the Presidency. In State
elections, citizens Of other States have no right

Interested every citizen of the Union has a
choice, and has the right to make his opinions
known wherever he may choose. The tempo
rary less experienced" editors of the Congress
sonal paper, on the same ground, would justify
O'Connell or Lord Palmerston or the Duke OF
Wellington, stumping it in the West to aid the
election of Mr.. Clay. Had it been any other
person, not candidate for the Presidency, not
word would have been said about it but the
impudence in this case is so papable that even
the nep men thiLk it requires their very feeble
defence But it is all useless barbecues, red

We have received letter from Colonel Claiborne,
announcing his retirement as junior editor of this pa

patibl with other official services which he has I'M

Claibornes withdrawal will occasion TO the cause

GA CHANGE"-For some months after Mr. Tyler
came into office, the Wings complained bitterly of
him because he would not exercise more political
prescription in his appointments. Now they have
turned about and are censuring him because he ex-
ercises so much. They quote ganst him the
speeches which he made when acting with the Wing
party, and taunt him with Inconsistency in not ad-
herring to Them when the whole party has openly de-
serted them, and urged Cen Harrison and MIR. Ty-
Ter to follow the example.

strenuous in advocating the course which they now
condemn.

mon Council not long since, and trm and consistent
Democrat, who, il will be rememb red, read the
solutions before the great Tyler meeting at ASKING

caste in the estimation OF some Of most thorough
going Democratic friends Therefore, TO sci the mat
ter right and to show that Mr. Towe did not reckon
without his bost on that occasion, and that he was
right in giving credit to Mr. Tyler for acts consistent
with Democratic faith and practice, would cali

The Wings art lattering themselves with the
hopes of the divisions of party, and the contests
of our candidates. They may find themselves eyre
giously disappointed. There is at present decided
concurrence in the Republican presses to avoid all
present discussion, and all ultimate division. We
will have but one candidate in the ieldand he must
be selected by the voice Of the People and the nom
nation of>a Convention We will spare efforts to
put down a different spirit-And we will not even
repubsh any of the desuitory nominations of the

ions on this subject confirmed by the staunchest and
most distinguished presses Of the Republican party

Hon. w. w. IRWIN,
Dear SIR AT a meeting of the friends of Pres-
dent Tyler held in this city, the undersigned were
deputed as a committee to invite you TO accept
public dinner, slight testimonial of their esteem
for you personally, and admiration of your course
in Congress during its late session They feel that
this manifestation of regard is due to you by your
fellow citizens of Pennsylvania a distinguished
member of the "CorPoral's Guard" whose labors
in the defence Of the President from the unjust and
malignant assaults Of the adherens of Henry Clay,
have entitled it to the applause and gratitude of
every republican in the Union To destroy the charac-
ter ofa man whose whole life give evidence ofpolcal
honesty consistency and patriotism, and to degrade
him as an imbecile, the most violent and wicked
measures, and the grossest vtuperaton and ISLANDERS,
were resored to, and the country agitated through
out with alarm for the public safety.
In this trying time recognise you standing
by the side of the President, unmoyed and immova-
Bile, and constantly exertng yourself for the public
good Much is due to you for saving the Tariff
BILL and for settling the agitations created for poti-
cal effect. To show our esteem for you personally
and our admiration of your conduct, invite you
to join the friends of the President, at a festival to
commemorate the victory obtained by patriotism
over faction and political gambling. We at the same
time tender to you the assurance of our personal
respect

THE EXCHEQUER.

Mr.. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, of the Cur
rency Committee has submitted report in opposition
to that of Mr. Gushing. IL is signed only by
himself 1t is very long, occupying ten columns
of the Intelligencer Mr.. Garrett Davis comes to
the conclusion that the Exchequer Board would be
"simply depository Of public revenue, mere Sub
Treasury with the specie clause scarcely excluded
it allows the notes of speciepayng banks to be paid
in discharge of the public dues only when they are
convertible into gold and silver at the places where
received" He thinks it more Objectionable and more
liable to abuse than the SubTreasury policy of Van
Buren,.
He thinks 'it would be powerless to effect any
thing to restrain excessive issues Of banks, to purify
their present spurious circulation, to aid them in
turn to specie payments, or to them TO that du
ty beyond mere Treasury operation of excluding
from the public receipts all notes that convert
Bile into gold and silver" II can do nothing Mr. Da.
Wis thinks, to facilitate exchanges aid commerce, re-
store confidence bring back prosperity He room
mends Congress wholly to reject it, and concludes
with sentiment of Mr.. Webstcr'it is better to do
nothing than to do mischief
We are afraid Mr.. Davis allows his strong feeling
in favor of National Bank 10 prejudice him against
the policy proposed Ivy The President and his friends.
We regard the report of MIR. Gushing very able
one, aud its Arguments, we think, are sound We 90
for the Exchequer-we hcpc II will be adopted-we
have faith that il will bring relief to the country =
Let old prejudces and predictions interfere to
prevent so desirable result.

Etom The ". Y. Sun
Bolts rs. UPSHUR.

We have said very little upon this case, because
considered it unworthy of any serious attention 1t
appears like effort the pant Of Mr.. Bolts to add
something more to the unenvable notorety which his
+" Coffee House" letter has given him. Chafed and
mortified by the odium which that exposure drew
upon his head, he seems determined to signaze him
self by venting his spleen upon all persons connected
with Mr.. Tylers administration, and heading" the
Leutenants as well as the Captain
He commences his attack upon Judge Upshur, the
able and popular Secretory of the Navy by charging
him with having advocated dissolution of the Union,
And how does he Tempt to fasten this odous charge
upon the distinguished SecretaTy2 Does he adduce
a single line that he ever wrote, single public
speech that he made, any public or private
that he ever performed to sustain the accusation No
but the contrary he drags into his service casual
conversation between several gentlemen on board OF
steamboat some seven or eight years ago, during the
notification excitement. This like other incidental
steamboat talks to have passed almost entirely
from the minds of all who beard it or engaged in it,
except John M. Bolts who is able TO bring out from
his prolific brain every word and thought, as il
it had occurred but yesterday. And his accommo-
dating memory has taken good to preserve in
just such form and shape as will best suit his present
purposes.
We do not believe that the public mind would have
been much impressed with this charge, coming from
such source and founded on such proof even if the
Secretary had wholly neglected to reply to it, He
has however, chosen to put an extnguisher upon it.
and has done so by the testimony of several witnesses
of unimpeachabe integrity, who were present at the
conversation, and who although they do not pretend
TO recollec like Mr. Bolts all the details of the con-
versaton board the steamboat are able to recall
the general tenor of il far as to state that the re-
marks of Judge Upshur were altogether conditional
preerring notification to secession and speaking of
disunion only preferable to greater evils which,
under certain circumstances, might come into opera
ton Fortunately, therefore, he has been able to ac-
quit himself of charge based upon such unfair and
unreasonable testimony.
But there still remains one important consideration
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-03-02

connected with this case. Is the precedent 10 be
tolerated of arragning public functonaries be-
fore the world for every word that may fall from
their lips in times Of high political excitement whilst
travelling in steamboats, railroad cars, stages
Above all, are they TO be held answerable for such
casual remarks seven or eight years after they
made, and that too upon the testimony of witnesses
John NJ Bolts If so, DO public man, however pure
his character consistent his life can be safe. The
gross improperly of such attacks is strongly exem-
plied not only in this case, but in similar wanton
assault, which all our readers must recollect upon
the pure and spotless character of Mr.. Benjamin +.
Butler, also founded upon casual steamboat
sation which was half reported and wholly garbled
to suit nefaious purpose. General contempt should
reward the instgators in both cases. We desire TO
see the opinions acts and characters of public
servants thoroughly investigated and truly developed,
but we protest against this unfair unmany and de-
testabe mode of assailng them II is wholly beneath
the dignity of just and high-minded people

PARTISANSHIP IN THE u. s. SENATE.

majority of the United States Senate-legisla-
tors chosen from and by the people to discharge their
duties TO their country, before God and man, impair
TALLY and honestly, present themselves before the
eyes of this and foreign countries as men willing TO
sacrifice truth, honor and consistency upon the shrine
of party. No longer do they ask the question, Is the
candidate for office competent faithful and of unim-
peachable integrity p but, Is he Clay Whig' In
order to propitiate selfish clique, applicant for
place must surrender his reason still the voice of his
conscience, forget that such words lore Of country
ever had meaning and give himself up body and
mind to the dictatlon of one man or his agents. Ii
was not such course as this which guided our
tors in the earliest days of our repubc--it was not
such policy as this which filled our offices with the
wise, the energetic and the good men who have raised
the reputation Of our country so high at home and
abroad that to seek to lower il seems nothing
short of sacrilege
The recent rejection of Mr.. Bradford as Judge of
the District Court OF the United States, merely be-
he known to be friendly to the President,
is fagraDt instance of the seshness and injustice
of the Senatorial clique who gave their votes against
him. This gentleman was generally liked, was be-
lieved to be upright, honorable man, but, be-
cause, after applying for the appointment he was
instrumental in organizing meeting for the sup
port of President Tyler and his administration,
he was branded by the clique and ostraclsed. No
other than his fnendliness to Mr.. Tyler
has yet been given, foftbe rejection Of his nomi
nation. In this the people reap ina ediately, the
those debtors who adlong prayed and pettloned their
country for relief and saw prospect of IT IN the pas
sage OF the Bankrupt Law, thus debarred from
It's advantages, criminals remain 'unwhpt of JUS
