The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-05-21
From the VT. Clemens (Mich.) Patriot.

Capt. Tyler has at length opened his eyes to his
interest; he has become sensible that those who
have been feasting government pap since he came
into power pay regard to the instructions contained
IN the Circular, admonishing them to beware how
,heg Jstsrfered IN the political contests of the day.
We know that IN Michigan they active in the
political fed, and engage with all the aspeTity
monty attendant upon partisan efforts, they were
IA the days Of coon skins and hard cider. Even in
oar little village the government office holders enter
into party politics with much spirit hired menias.
There Is question but that there is strong Tyler
party, party not to be desplsed, in Michigan-but
they disheartened. They headed in every
move to sustain the administration by the Clay Wing
Office holders-who are fed from the public crib, and
who can afford to spend their time which should be
devoted to the public service and their money in cleo
toneering excursions connecting and executing plans
! for the benefit of lord Ashland. The following is
| from the Madisonian:
" 1t is taken for granted that the republican admit
nistraton can never expect any mercy from either
the Clay Wings he Locofocos land that the officers of
the Government are in great measure in possession
of the partisan leaders Of these factions We argue,
| thence, that inasmuch as the moderate Wings and
Democrats love their country than party, and
both very generally approve the of the ad-
minstration they will not be likely to sympathise
much with the ultras when day of their demolition
arrives. And we doubt not there quite enough
moderate Wings and Democrats in the country to fill
all the offices that may be vacated by the removal OF
Locofocos and Clay Wings
awe doubt not that such glorious movement
would be favoraby responded to by the country
The ultra leaders would doubtless growl, and bark,
and bite, :" for God has made them so," but their
vengefu throes would be mpotent Parties would
be Independent of them. The people would truly be
" disenthralled.n The country would revive and
proper"
Indeed, we know many substantial, good men, who
would give the administration hearty support, if
the President would but act with energy in reference
to the efforts of partisan oficehoders and carry out
the doctrines promulgated i'll the circular "The
march of justice must not stop or falter."
| We have supposed that the Administration was
| perfectly contented, and rather encouraged than
otherwise, the doings of the Clay Wings who live
upon its bounty. We find them openly and nsid-
ously working for Clay; they make religion and tenn
perance subservient to their wishes. high func
tonary of the General Government, who is also high
| in Office in Washingtonian temperance society in
the city of Detroit, made his brags to certain cer
gyman, that every member gained, especially for
eigners much added to the cause of Clay
Whggery, and this hypocrite in religion and knave
in social life is receiving high wages, the reward of
his inquity, from the General Government What
