THE PATRIOT AND EAGLE-ITS EDITOR
MALICIOUS PERSECUTION

In justice to nelghbor and so far as we know. a
personal FRIEND cannot longer remain silent in re-
gard to the unfair and cruel combination formed by
the violent partisan presses in this State to break
do n the Patriot and Eagle and destroy the chatac-
ter OF Mr.. llolbrook, its editor. "Tle head and
front Of this mans offending appears to have been,
that he has had the independence to denounce poiti-
cal cliques and regences on all sides and to defend
manfully and openly the administration of John "
Ter. Fearing that the Patriot and friends would
obtain controlling influence at home and abroad and
thus interrupt their plans and obstruc the working of
Their machinery, some time since they set at work in
good earnest, turned their batteries upon Hobrook
and opened rakng fire upon him on all sides.
The fist object was to curta the circulation of his
paper, by operating, we are crcdiby informed
through the postnastes, and the employ men Of other
sinllar means. This plan was partially successful
ana yet the paper waggod along on its own no k as
Independent and saucy as ever. The next thlny was
to make an attack upon his private character, aud
certain Bank pirates, with very oiiicous pastmas er
at his head Ware selected as tie main actors in the
conspiracy They went to Mr. Rogers an uisus-
pecting and upright citizen, and by alschood as it
appears, has since been proved by competent witness
under oath, Induced him to disown his signature on
anoic Of hand drawn by Holbrook On he strength
OF this poor Eiolbrook was snnched up for forgery
When the case came on Rogers himself was ia court
ready and anxious to explain the whole matter and
expose the deception by which he had been misled
but the bank attorney would not call on him. Not
shadow OF proof appearing against the accused he
was acquitted About this time the Patriot was Sc
lected 10y the U. 5 Court for the publication Of the
bankrupt notices. This was too much for its enemies
to bear Judge Judson was violently assailed A
new EMISSION Of ephets was LEI loose, among which
frau forgery "scoundrel' were he midcst.
We viii not follow OUT tue detail OF this most une.
quail and unnghteous warfare We believe the pub.
lie look upon TIE course OF Mr. Holbrook's lersecu
tors in proper light, and that their shameful conduct
will recoil upon their own heads with tremendous
force. With HE political principles of the Pattiouw we
have nothing to do. We know It's editor to be gen
tlemahIy honorable man in his, private relations, and
we could not longer remain slent and witness those
heather attempts to crush TO the earth an innocent
man, merely because he happens o be IN the way OF
a few selfish apd ayarcious dcmagogues who fall Ear
behind the object of their prosecutions in all that con-
sttutes good citizenship or genllemany. department
Ii no other press in the State extends its protection
10 the editor OF the Patriot and Eagle justice shall al
least be done hin IN the columns Of the Review

THE ADMINISTRATION.

There is a fair prospect that the present national
administration will acquire the distinguished honor of
bringing all our difficulties with England to sasfac-
tory adjustment The mass of the people like the
position of the administration because belonging to
no party, it has nothing to do but serve the country
They sick of that organized partisanship which
puts the party first and the country afterward The
administration Of President Tyler is almost under
necessity of acting with public spirit. Continued and
opposed by the two great parties it necessarily falls
back upon the mass Of citizens. 1t has no other
friends. The hope of reward may ultimately attach
multitude to the President, but at present there
seems to be no chance that decided Tyler man can
pass the Senate 1t is chiefly therefore, Impoverished
support which the President must have, if any This
support has enabled him to procure the passage of all
the laws which were important for the country in spite
of actions so that in fact the administrations supported
vsiby by no more than 'corporal's guard' in Con
gress, does by virtue of public sentiment hold for all
essential purposes, majority in both Houses and It's
strength from this source is increasing daily
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-06-08


The President was not opposed to Bank OF
Fiscal Agent, except, SO far as this, that he
would not agree to sanction such an institution
with The power TO make discounts.
Read Mr.. Bells letter Of resignation, and 1t
wlll be seen that he states this point in the Ian
guage Of the President himself No stronger
evidence can be adduced than Mr.. Bells letter
furnishes on this point.
The President is represented as declaring
emphaticaily that he never would agree 10 a
Bank Of discount.
Now, what was done 2 Let any one look at
the bill which it is alleged was prepared in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the President, and
one who runs may read the power of discount
IN the clause authorizing the purchase and sale
OF bills Of exchange, Thi, feature in the bill,
framed as it was, went directly in the teeth OF
the declared wishes of the President; and those
who prepared it may consider themselves suff-
clently fortunate il they escape the charge of
seeking TO crcumvent the President by a sub
terfuge
This is the whole matter.

ABUSE OF MR.. CLAW

We are somewhat surprised as well as amused
at the Indignation which some of tie admirers
of Mr. Clay, profess to feel at what they style
not guilty to the mputation. We have dis
cussed the public acts of Mr. Clay but our
language did not assume the coarse complexion
of abuse. Were we however guilty of the
crime charged against US, the first stone would
come with an i'll grace from him or his friends
The Clay papers throughout the country teen
daily with vltuperation against any one and eve
nv one who is suspected of the treason Of not
paying entire fealty and obedience to the dicta-
tor. He himself has given the sanction of his
example for the use of the coarsest ribaldry. No
one has so often desecrated the dignity of the
Senate by furious outbreaks of passion, and vio-
lent coarseness of language. We need not
travel very far back into our legislative history,
to find specimens of his reckless infringement
of Senatorial decorum. Who does not remem-
Der his rude attack on the venerable public SER
want, Samuel Smith, of Maryland. General
Smith was one Of the most distinguished sol
diars of the revolutionary war; and afterwards
Hdu HSuFtu prominently III lne Legislative
Halls. In lS32-we think we are correct as to
the year-he was in the Senate of the United
States, and had the misfortune to offend Mr.
Clay. He was od--but neither his age nor his
services sufficed to secure him from the heart
lessness of the sheer, which reminded him of
his age and its nfrmites. Mr. Claws poeica
memory gave unmerited noloriety to the mise
rable distich which he repeated on that me
morable occasion:
cold politicians chew on wisdom past,
And totter on in business TO the last"
Mr.. Clay, of late, has frequently alluded to his
own increasing years and decaying strength. 1t
is strange that but ten years since he was not
deferred from scotfing at the senile debility Of
another, by the dread or presentiment that, ere
long, he might, in just retribulion, wrthe under
sarca ms at his own infirmities.
We have given one specimen of the abusive
language which he was capable of uttering.
Even under the sanction of his example. we
could not venture so far as he has gone.

THE WAR UPON THE ARMY AND NAVY.

| We regard the whole legislation upon the army and
navy, lately pursued in Washington, as most unwise
and impolitic
! AT the extra session, they voted into existence
home squadron, aud now the ships which compose il
have hardly been commissioned, ere they would vote
II down. But little while ago, they voted to finish
oil and complete some of the vessels Of war, which
for nearly age have been lying on the stocks and
Just as they ready TO be launched orders sent
to countermand the launching OF all. Two thus
detained, and the supplies for the outfit of the others,
are cut of at zone fell swoop."
There has been Of late entirely too much pendulum
legislaton--swing forward a little space and vote
law-swing backwards and revoke il and only 60
ahead, just SO far as they go back; but always
taking care TO swing back as far they swing for
ward This IS woful business for the country, and
destroys all confidence in the integrity, the conss-

reform has been suddenly engendered and the poor
navy and army, the right and left of the nation,
are to be suddenly pasicd 10 crafty this unwlse

But lew weeks ago, and the cry was, there will be

barracks, and garrlsons. &C. &C. but now, alas, the
political pendulum of these men has swung back again,
