The Mysteries Of he -uodiso"ian.

Pressed the MadlsonIan - from SO HuHy
Tray Blanche Sweetheart, and all at tive feel not
tho srbies, dispostion I'VE earnestly say III to poach
upon their manor and bring fresh opponent INTO the
field But rs the Madsonian has been pensed to no
lice remark Of our own with some remarks OF ITS c,cn,
we think it our duty 10 repueish ITS criticism, with
hasv commentary from our pen:
| aTnE FLAG FLYISc.-'We suspect Dir yer VIII
find il much more difficult thing than he - aware
/" of, to establish third party IN this country
Such is the language Of the Richmond Enquirer
Of the Goth Of February, and we desire Mr.. htche
dctincy TO understand that such line Of policy has
been adopted, either by the PRESIDENT or his trends
lie knows and they know, that there can be but two
parties in the couniry--.7n administration purity NM
an Opposition purity. And we say, without quahca-
finn or reserve that whether n shall have here
tofore called himself Wing or Democrat, he only
be known now as allanced 10 the Administration par.
ty or the Opposition party. Mr. Benton IS understood
10 be opposed the Administrations and so IS Mr. Clay
They belong, therefore, to the party-the OPpost
ton party-however much fhey may diner between
themselves upon points OF policy.
I'VE have thrown out the broad banner OF the Ad.
minstraton which has inscribed upon tt kEPUB
LICANISM AND THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE
COUNTRY = and whosoever shall rally To that BAN
ner will be regarded by brethren in politics, aud
will be treated accordingly. Let the extremes wage
their war unitedy, if they please We say to Them and
10 all men, that there can be but two parties in the
country administration Fdrty AMI he Opposition
party This alone has been the condition OF parties
/
ties hereafter.
1 Whatever may have been the case heretofore, the
Madsonan will be pleased TO ecolec that the presen
is new md unparalleled case There is nothing Ike
it in the file Of precedens-as Mr.. Tyler himself test
ies his letter of,he 22d 10 the Friends Of the
4 Administration in Philadelphia 1T Unprecedented no,
only regard to his power teng suddenly transferred II
his hands by the death Of the elected President but be
cause of the peculiar position, which he himself has SINCE
occupied in the administration of the Government lie
has offended the Wings by his vetoes-whllst the Re-
publcans thank him for it. lie IS denounced by the
special organs of Mr. Clay the iacorte e-leader Of The
one parly-whilst he does not concur in some other
items with the Republican Party. To establish new
party of his own he must therefore take of his
principles from the Wings, and some from the Repub,
icans-lke Joscphs coat OF many colors, he must
wear moey-and build up small party Of his own,
that comedies its great features with either one party
or the other. In some things he must concur with the
strict construction States Rights paryin others, with
the Federal atitudnous party. Now, We hold that The
| Republicans act upon broad system OF constitu-
tonal prnciples-,he Federal, or Clay Wing party,
upon the opposte.-These the two great political
parties of the country-and the friends oppo-
nents of the ldulinstrntion--not Tyler men, Anti
h TYLER men. We strongly disposed 10 hope, that
he is more with u.s. than with the Whigs--and teW adj
minister the Government nearer TO our principles
than thers--but it is not historically true for the last
ten months say so, it correct in theory TO say,
that lie is altogether Republican, decidedly Wing
much less that either of the other two parties nave re-
signed their principles, individuality in his Admins
lration His party belongs rather to the exceptions,
than the genus II will be hybrid, rather than regu.
arly marked in its character. The other two parties
will remain according 10 their ancient lines, since
o. But Mr. Tyler will never be able TO rub them
out, by any eccentric course which his Administration
may assume lie has, then, to choose, in the general
between the great pares-and not they TO choose
between supporting or opposing him-llow far ne may
play between the two is for him TO say. But must
again declare, with all due Difference, that ale will
find it n much more difficult thing than he is aware of,
10 establish "a greap third party in this country.
