Correspondence Of the Madisonian.

RICHMOND, Va, July, le42.
The meeting of the old fashioned Republicans of
the school of '98 and 99 was thrilling affair, 1t
was composed of men who, through series OF pollt-
cal confics lost sight of those great principles
for which Republican fathers battled in the early
history of the Government. wish " head HIN or
" die" had been here to have witnessed the enthusl-
asm which animated every one present. and perhaps
it would have caused him TO reflect upon his past
reckless and unprincipted course in attempting TO
(" head" the President, who had solemnly sworn ITO
preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States" The n bic stand President Tyler
has taken in vindcaton of his honor public man,
and those cherished principles avowed by him through
the whole course of his public life duly appreciated
by every sincere Republican, and you may depend
upon it he will be sustained 10y Vngnia-the flag
ship of prncipes-whose voice has ever been fore
in cheering onward in the course OF pubic du-
ty a faithful public servant This is no ctimerd-it
is the honest belief Of one who has some knowledge
of the sentiments of the Republicans OF this eadiast
time honored commonwealth whose political princl-
pies are as true the needle to the pole and whose
motto has always been PRINCIPLES, not MEN The
animated countenance of the veteran editor Of the
ENQUIRER beamed with admiration and delight, and 1t
seemed to give him 1speakable pleasure that at this
important crisis in the history of the country, when
legislative dctaton and usurpation the aim of
principed demagogues, and the Capitalization of all
power in their hands, thereby reducing the President
to mere machne-the register of their unholy
edicts-he could openly and manfuy come to the
rescue the rescue! and give to the Admlnislra-
ton of John Tyler a warm and generous support.

when the proper time shall arrive for the People TO
exercise their sovereignty the honest expression OF
their sentiments will sweep like tornado, from one
end of the Union to the other, and cause those who
have abused their representative trust to retire to the
shades of private life unhonored! 1t is useless for
Mi Bolts and his political satellites, however obscure
and din they may appear in the political horizon TO
tell the People that Mr.. Tyler has betrayed the trust
reposed in him by his countrymen In refusing to
sanction measures which he considered injurious to
the best interests Of the countrybecause they are
well acquainted with lis legislative history-every
page of which is replete with sound Republican sem
menls uttered by him on every great and leading
question. His early opposition to Bank OF the oi-
ted States, upon Constitutional grounds, was known
to the convention which no ninated him as candl-
date for the Vice Presidency, but they did not think
at the time this honor conferred upon him, that
he would eventually fill the first Office within their
git therefore if there has been any tredchery DIS
pIayed il must enure to them and not to MT. Iyer,
because he has adhered faithfully his avowed and
recorded political Sc tlments-and they have devated
from theirs Well do remember Mr.. Clays lay
louisville speech when he visited the county Of Hano-
YER the place of his nativity. In that speech he eva
ded the question of Bank no Bank, by saying that
was a question of MINOR Importance; that although
he was in favor of such an institution, yet he would
not press il unless it clearly ascertaned that the
PeopIe demanded the creation of such an Institution.
Now. il is evident from h past course that he was
acting treaeterousy iowa ds the People whose sup
port he was soliciting for he nominee of the Harms
burg convention becar Sc no sooner than the party
to which he was attac4s' indicted into office,
and the converting Of Congress by proclamation, he
brought forward his famous measures Bank and
Dstributon-thus regulating sentiments which he
had avowed but few short months previous IN the
lost solemn and impressive manner, and tha', too,
within the hearing of John Minor Bots, who ofici-
sted in the capacity Of a white Charlie" decorated
with his masters livery. With all these recorded
facts, which component part Of the history OF
the country, staring him in the face, this pse dart
of Mr. Clay's who is bound body and soul to the be-
hes,s Of his master has the bold erontcry to charge
the President witt treacheryi Ireaetery to whom
To the People No. To party, the very elements
Of which are corruption and treoehery, base and per
