The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-08-23
From the N. Y. Union.


as We ask attention to the following letter
from Washington, containing important facts
in relation to the conspiracy to "head OH" the
President, and also in reference to the dsmem-
bernent of the late Cabinet. The period has
now arrived when the ''rue or ruin" party can
not prevent the truth reaching the People and
in relation to the Vetoes, it will appear that the
President has been wantonly misrepresented by
certain conspicuous individuals, as to his opln-
ions, suggestions and conversations In connec-
nection with the Bank bills. Public opinion is
every where settling down, under the convlc-
ton that President Tyler has been. grossly and
wantonly treated by the ultra leaders OF the
Wing party and the People manifest liberal
and firm determination to do full justice to his
acts, his character and public services.
From our Washington Correspondent
Since have been in Washington and looked
behind the scenes of this grand political thea
tire. and witnessed the course pursued in Con-
gress by the "Rule or Ruin Party" it has
appeared to me a matter of perfect astonish-
ment that there should be one single man in the
land ignorant of their desperate plots and machl-
nations-heedless of the interests of the Con-
federacy and regardless OF the wants OF the
People, to thrust from the Presidential Char
our honest and nfiexible Chief Magistrate.
You, no doubt, have seen something OF thus
of late, connected with Bolts resolutions OF
Impeachment"
When the Madisonian, which at an early
day arrived at a full knowledge Of the whole
game, first charged plot upon the "Whte
Charles the Intelligencer denied it, but upon
being pushed TO the wall by the force OF indubi-
table FACTS, that paper was forced to acknow-
ledge it, by the publication Of Bolts ARTICLES"
More yetremains to be tod OF this wicked and
nefarious transaction.
These men have not stopped at any thing,
however low and sanderous it might be- IN re-
ference to the President. They not only rudely
attack him politically, but they also insult him
priuately, knowing that his hands are tied, and
that he cannot defend himself. A shorttme since
Messrs. Stanly and Mathiot, spar mobile fra
tyztq,.n as you already know, forgetting their
characters as grave and deliberate Legislators,
"Heaven save the mark, " made most wanton
and uncalled for attack upon his private charac
ter, accusing MIN OF "OtDtS1 "fs0 oe'eUc' u'o "
ing" You also know how completely the
"brand Of nfamy" was planted on their brows.
You remember the ''manif esto" and the Ew-
inc publications of the extra session, together
with the letters and speeches then and since
written by Messrs Clay, Bolts, Stany, Ar
mold, and others of the Federal creed, in which
it was sought by the Erostratus reputation OF
their authors only, to prove the President desti-
tute of moral and political worth.
You also remember how, in connection with
these things, and before the Impeachment mat
,er yu,s brought out few months since, from
certain developments, the Madisonian charged
upon the conspirators a scheme TO head" the
President and force him to resign. This is
fact here now, of such public notorlety, that the
bold factionists themselves scarcely pretend TO
| deny it, since it has been concluslvely proven
upon them. Such things transprlng at our
! metropolis, and among those who should be the
