We call attention to the following very signih
cant declaration in the Madisonian of Friday:
president Tyler does not approve the proscrip-
tons made 10y the Clay cabinet, and 10 fulfl the
promise Of prescribing prescription is restoring
many Democrats TO the places from which they
were thrust GU. on party grounds at the dicatcn OF
Mr. Clay"
Now a Pre,tier piece OF stuff than this, no politics
except those of the ptesen! reign of incapable kna
very, ever furnished. II might be taken, by some,
for the mere "oose talk" Of editorial sabbler, like
John Jones; out it should DO remembered that the
stupidity Of the man is the iiest possible usher to
the faulty OF the master: and that the former has
never yet said thing so foolish that the latter did
no, DO. Now, this thing, though all the web is folly
and all the wooF wicksdness, precisely expresses
'ekat Mr. Tyler is doing, and ~hy he does it,
These not merely the shapeless notions of John
Jones' brain. but MIR Tyler's own attempts at jIig
ne what his own conduct shall be, and the apology
he shall give for it.
lis given to no man, unless OF consummate sense,
to talk, upon weishty matters, in such manner as
shall not permit you TO understand him. TIE very
art OF speech, for politicians, has been, with sad
degree OF truth, defined 10 be ingenious power of
making oneself the less understood, the more one
talks. But fool is (of course) the last person the
world ever to attain this skfu obscuriiy, which,
| while 1t seems TO pour every thing out, nsver says
word. Wisdom may sometimes conceal its pur-
poses aud talk of them, in order to seem TO hide
nothing. Not so Of bunderng folly, however, whose
speech always exhibits nothing bu, wha, it should
most siudously hide.
Thus the Official is foolish enough to bsiray
fact not before avowed-;hat the President was,
from the first, averss 10 all the appointments made
by his Cabinet, and did not wish any Democrat
removed. Nov, sea in what position tbs ayow
a. colia,el with other certain facts, places him.
The O!heal Notice to the course lha, would
be pursued ia regard to renovals-,housh p;omll.
gated through the pressnt Secretary of Saie-was
deliberate fraud; and Me- Tyler, a. the very mo
meni when he flung i. before the world, TO steal
some public favour, had already in his heart, pro.
scribed every man brought into o!i;s by the Hirri
son Cabinet, and this withou. knowing whether or
not the previous in.unbsn,s had bs:n f, or the sc
tua appontsss unf; for their pll;es2
He had, then, from the hts., determined that his
Ministers shoud be stripped Of all indie p,ndsnce, OF
all control OF the officers in thar owa Departments;
and tina! the entire paironags should be welded TO
serve and TO damage none but such as it was his
pleasure or policy TO advance or injute.
BY ent.ng the Cabins. a "Clay Cabns,." i,
disclose, the fact that ne was, from the first, deter
mined tina, MIR Clay should &c. nohs OF the benefits
OF that public Animation, whioh alone could have
brough. about the fact THAT EVERY SECRETARY
WAS MS FRIEND, ALTHo' ANOTHER President
APPOINTED THEM ALL.

Clay's suggestion: and the on'y MN in it suggested
10y Mr.. Clay, was his own diroc, rival and irrecon
cils5s enemy So far, then, as it was Of Mr CIay's
making, it was the very opposite to a Chy Cabi-
net.
But i, is knack Of foolish knlv,s always TO Of.

Mldsonian's ally, the God like, in his late spse:h,

have naturally flowed from the only appointment
10 which Mr. Cay bad any agency.
