New YORK, Dec. 10, 1912.
SINH volunteering my services as the New
York correspondent Of the Madisonan, it cannot be
;mnroper for me to say that, am actuaed solely by
desire 10 do Justice to the Chief Magistrate Of the
limited States and to the distinguished gentlemen,
who are attached to his Administration, and not by
sinister or pecuniary considerations
So far as the latter avowal is concerned, you can
at least do justice to its sincerity, for you well know
that am volunteer and do not expect any reward
or wish any reward for my services-other by the
way than what | may find in the consciousness oil
giving my support to a statesman, whose political
destruction and moral degradation sought by par
ty and faction.
Who am, is an affair, or rather question, in
which the public can have possible interest, so
long as take truth for my guide and patriotism for
nv nnrpose shall at all times, study to be accu-
ra,s and whilst shall ever be found bold, firm, and
;Daenepdept, no man shall ever say, in the language
Of truth, that have wantonly wronged him.
Thus much, with all the egotism that marks it,
have thought necessary to say by the way oil preface
to a correspondence, which mean TO keep up daiiy
with the most scrupuous punctuality, provided it
shall be found acceptable
The course of conduct adopted by COL Benton and
the Globe newspaper, in reference to the Admins
traton is not well calculated to have salutary ell
feet on the hardy and independent democracy OF the
North and East-a democracy which is disposed at
all times to stand by its principles and its rights and
instead of becoming the devotee of man worship, will
stand BY the doctrine and the principles it nculcated
from the monitions of Thomas Jefferson and others
of the American Fathers
The Democracy of the North and Fast, and Colo
mel Benton should know it, cannot and VIII not De
led or driven from its affixed purpose nor Will 1t be
compelled by the dogmasm of the distinguished Sc
nator from Missouri treat with cold neglect and
ipgrattude that Chief Magistrate Of this great ma
ton who risked every thing that is dear to man, 10
restore to the country the full fruon of Democratic
rule and precedent The Democracy of the North
and East cannot and will not abandon President ~
Ter to the fury of his enemies; they will sustain him.
and let me add, that very large portion of them
will insist that his name be presented most honoraby
and fairly, as candidate for the Presidency.
New YoRK, Dec. II, lS42.
When Congress was about to assemble, the ardent
prayer, and hope, and wish, of every man OF busi-
ness of every patriot in New York was that 1t would
together to transact the business Of the nation DO
all it could do to promote the interests and the hap
piness of the American People, and on the 4th OF
March, 1912, adjourn.
1t was under feelings and hopes, based on an anxious
desire to see the embarrassments of the whole people
disspated that all looked to the assembling Of Con-
gress as the advent Of state of approximating ma
tiona prosperity-that the business men of the day
hatered themselves with the belief that the last
sion of the Twenty seventh Congress would not be dis
tinguished for virulence and direlecon of duty but
sadly have they been disappointed, and when they
turn their eyes toward the Capitol, they behold no.
thing but the same oh scene of turmoil, demagogu-
ism and confusion.
MIR. John M. Bolts the illusrious a who,
whatever may be his merits or dement's, could not
at any time succeed in Occupying the serious atten-
ton of any ten men Of his constituency five minutes
at time at the very threshold of the session comes
forward, and with the hope OF successfully apelng
Edmond Burke and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, talks
and pirates about impeachment, the privilege of
Parliament, and absolutely has the folly to imagine
that his conduct is rendering him otherwise than RI
diculous and contemplate in the eyes of all that por-
ton of the American People who subject themselves
to the trouble to notice his of arrant moon
shine and folly.
Mr. John Minor Bolts will pardon my candor,-
for am plain blunt man-when tell him that he
errs and most sgnay, if he fances that his course
of folly, not to say popinjaysm is destined to pro-
mote his advantage; and, he will suffer me to add,
that he has already acquired that unmered notorie-
ty which subjects the parvenue and the poltroon to
the laughter of the world, because the subject of its
merrment is not entitled to the dignity of its
ton.
Mr. Bolts is required, by every consideration of his
own interest, and by all the admonitory example of
previously selfsacrifced political gascons to pause
where he is, unless he be ambitious of that kind of
fame which has arrested the of other, and by
no means less imposing mounebanks.
The American People not for Mr.. John M.
Bolts. He has passed the meridian Of human folly
and, it is not material what he may avow or write
against the President MIR. John C. Spencer, or any
of the gentlemen Of the Cabinet since he has be-
come unworthy of the dignifed contempt of the
American People
1t is hoped here, that Congress will at 60
to work. do its Duty and thus meet the wishes, wants,
and expectations of the people.
The weather is very pleasant, though the amos-
phere is somewhat cold and biting, and indicates the
approach or the solstce of winter
