To The Editor Of The Madisonian:
The course which some of the politicians of the De-
mocrauc party are pursuing towards President Ty-
LER, calculated disgust any honest disnterestsd
member of that noble party; and if were in position
to do it, and the opportunity offered would hold them
up to the contempt of the great mass, the rank and
fle," of that party. would show them to the world,
as they are crafty interested set of aspirants and
expectants, whispering in the ears OF those they can
or think they can, gull, that :" it won't do for the
Democrats to take any part in the support TYLER
against the Clay men"-that I" the Democrats should
have nothing to do with the quarrel between TYLER
| and the Whigs'--that Z" the Democrats must keep
| aloofn-that " the Democrats may, among themselves
rejoice at the VEToEs Of the Bank Bills and of the
Little and Big Tariff Bills and at all the checks put
| upon Whiggery run mad by President TYLER but
they must say nothing in his praise in their public
meetings. must pass no resolutions approving OF his
course in regard to these matters" Oh no Z" they
must not commit themselves: they must not recog-
Mise him as Democrat, though he declare him
self one, and do every thing the Democratic party
wish him to do" Yes, sir this is the game that some
Of the politicians playing They go into the De
mocrac conventions and ward and other meetings OF
the party, and when some good, honest, open-heared
Democrat who looks only TO the good of the country,
to and not to men offers any expression OF APP
probation of the truly Democratic measures of Pre-
| sident TYLER, to which | have alluded they buzz
| about, that this is not Tyler meeting we
must not commit the party" &c. sc.
Now, sir, wish to know if the Democrats do approve
IF the Vefoes f President Tyfrp why shouldn't they
say so in public Resolutions well in private con-
versations' If the Democrats do thank MIR. Tyler,
in their hearts, for saving the country from Mon
ster Bank of the United States, why shouldn't they
| express those thanks publicly and openly If MIR.
Tyler declares himself to be Democrat, and his in
tention to act with the Democratic party, and gives
such public and unequivoca evidences Of his sincer-
y he has done by almost every official act during
the late session Of Congress, wish to know why the
| door of the Dem cratic mansion should be closed
against him Again, | say, sir, that the Democratic
people willing to judge MIR. Tyler by his acts
that if he presents himself at the door of their Coun-
Gil Chamber, they ready to throw 1t wide open
to him that they willing and anxious to receive
him into full communion and welcome him to seat
| in the Democratic wigwam. Ay, sir, more than
| that--they do recognise him as member OF the
| family and as they entertain Jealousy Of
| him. and fear no rivalry from him, they tDiH
speak out their appreciation of his acts, when
they deserve it, with ,as much universal and
hearty good will, they will promptly and iearIessy

single hearted Democrat in this wide Republic will
yield hearty and jealous support, and no man more

thought of disparagement OF any of the gentlemen,
that, if Mr. TYLER shall the Ship OF State
