The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-04-05

=, This day, that even if such things could have
received Executive assent, one dollar OF the
.,ock would have been taken. Bills so shame
f,lv defective, that even Mr.. Clay himself has
admitted in speech in the Senate this winter,
hat il would have been necessary TO pass laws
explanatory and amendatory. But this is not ALL
ma not Mr.. Clay know that Mr.. Tyler could
,o sanction Bank without the incorporation
q princpe which should avoid the constllu-
,onal question of the right TO create VIM he
,o.wer in his next letter to Uhigs, any where
Wi he put his hand upon his heart (and no man
n.es that gesture oftener or better) and say before
=. country. and his God, whether he did not
,ho,onohly know the Presidents opinion on
ME question, before the election and after the
election? Nay, further, we ask him whether he
bad NOT cause TO know il, both before and after
,f. introduction Of his bill into Congress
Sneak out, Mr.. Clay, speak out; let the affili-
,ted press, for once, in the last six months, be
oermitted TO tell the truth. Or if you would
prefer, as heretofore, to speak by the lips Of
others let your great ally, satellite and friend,
The late Secretary of the Treasury, speak
out for you. Unkennel sir unkennel-
Give the country all that you know
and have heretofore concealed. The country
would like to have the full history Of your cele
braled amendment compromise you called it)
TO your precious bill. Who concocted that
amendments Was il not submitted TO the Pre-
sldent before you offered it, and what was his
language in regard to ito There are some
around you who can speak for you, if you are
90 modest to speak for yourself.
A Bank Wing principle secuted in the
election and condemned by the People every
where-denied as the issue upon the hustings,
and even in the Hanover speech post poned un-
Ill the People should call for it-and yet, impu-
IDENTITY pressed as Whig principle, and
heaven, air and earth thrown into commotion,
because MIR. Tyler would not, because he could
not sanction it,
But again. Who told yoL, Mr.. Clay, that
''lhe President denounced his friends and
courted his political opponents 2" and if any
body had told you 80, we are only surprised that
you should have been silly enough to believe it.
The thing is ridiculous enough in ITSELF to sup
pose that any man would denounce his friends.
Who are his friends? Will Mr.. Clay tell us
Are you and your Manifesto members, and re-
firing Cabinet ministers his friends? Are
your editors dispersed over the Union, whose
business it's, from the rising to the setting of
the sun, to sound forth your praises, and to-
abuse the President, are they has friends or
are you and they his bitterest opponents2 And
when you tell the country that the President
courts his opponents, do you mean to be under
stood that he courts you and yours? Alas to
what a sad condition you would reduce the
President Of the United States But you know
full well that he will not stoop to court the favor
otyourself, or any other of any party. He puts
himself upon the country, and de6es the malice
OF his revilers and traducers. You place him
in a situation TO be envied. You declare him
10 be free from party, and plant him, unwilling
y il is true, upon the country, and the whole
country There he is proud to stand, and there
he will maintain the interests of that country,
in despite of the rawlings Of faction.
