THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. GONE AND
lNDIVISII3IE Gu

The following extract Of q letter from the New
York correspondence of ,he Madisonian, was pub
lshed, few days since, in the Globe; and cou plec
with Other Indications from dferen, quarters. seem.
reflection, to require more than the passing notice
II then received.
Tho friends Of Mr.. Tyler and the Democratic
party are 'one and indivsible' The opinions Of
oil sections OF that party agree as regard measures
and, as there 10 no Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in the field, there are no heart burning,
among them; no petty jealousies to distract their at
tenon, or divert their energies from the great WORK
OF putting down the Common enemy. They waive
contamination is attained. Thus, the iine is once
more clearly drawn. as in the days of Jefferson be
tween Federalist and Democrat. We shall hear
no more of armed neutrals.' There are now bu,
too parties" nc.
None can be moro anxious than ourselves thu,
the Democratic party should continue, as il has al
ways been, 'one and indv sbe;' that 1t should
under its own leaders, with its own unchanged ard
unchAngeaole principles inscribed on it's own flag
flying at the mast head, TO be read and unders.ood
by everybody. But there is something more thar
meets the eye in the passage We have Just given
Il afsumes an identity between the fiends or MI
Tyler and the Democratic party which has no er
is'ehee. The Democratic party does not nd cannot,
approve the general course Of Mr. Tyler's admins
tFation, although may sanction of the acts OF
that gentleman-such as the vetoes oil the bank and
what IS called the little tariff bill These were un
doubiedly, highly agreeable TO that party; but the
i
ly satisfactory. The Democratic party cannot for.
get thst Mr Tyler would have approved the bill
establishing Bank Of the United States, but for
the clause giving u the absolute right TO intrude
branches into the States without their con
ssh, nor that he approved the bill for the dis
uibuion of the public lands, and only incidentally
dissented from It afterwards, on the ground that il
violated provision that 1t should not take effect
when the necessities Of the Government REQ uired
higher duty than twenty per cent. on foreign i'm
DOTtatlOns. that he DreciDitrteiv
TO the repeal Of the independent treasury; nor that
he approved an infamous, cemoralizing bankrupt
law; nor that he promised the interference of The
troops of the U. s., for the purpose Of aresling the
extension OF the right Of suffrage in Rhode Island
Above all, they cannot fail to remember that SIR.
Tyler has sanctioned tariff bill more obnoxious
hy far, than that which he vetoed; and that Mr.
Cushng's exertions in procuring the passage OF
mat bill are about 10 lie rewarded by seat 10 the
Cabinet
Lastly, how can the Democratic party be- or be-
come 'ono ard indvisib'e' with the friends Of MIR
Tyler when they see Mr. Websicr-cne Of their
most siern II aex bic opponents-n the situation OF
his prime Confidential minister; and MIR Spencer at
the head OF another department; and both giving
out as the future measure of the Administration
"aipo e's exehequer system, with debt, paper mo.
ney, and corruption in its train
While the friends OF MIR Tyler continue TO ap-
prove and maintain such a system OF policy, we do
not see how they can well be one and indIvisible'
with the great Democratic party, which has on all
occasions opposed H. whether stalking openly in the
face OF the day, under the banner OF old Federal.
rm, or masked under false names and false colors
IL MIR Tyler ard his friends expect To become
identified with that great party, they will be under
the necessity OF abandoning these hereses for they
may be assured the time is fast approaching when
what the author Of the foregoing extract is pleased
To coll minor points, will be folly discussed, and
the ancient, interchangeable doctrines Of the Democra
oy be made the test of political orthodoxy.
We npprehend they will not waive all discussion
either OF major or minor points OF difference, till
line glorious consummation Of putting down the
oomnon enemy is accomplished They will know
who Ihey put up as we'll who they put down;
they will not fight in the dark, but in the broad
light Of day, knowing what they fight for and what
will be the result Of the victory
