ANOTHER CLEARING AND SHAMEFUL
ACT OF PERSECUTION.

On Friday, Mr.. Tyson, lately appointed by
The President, Commissary General Of Subsist-
ence, was rejected for that office by the Senate
of the United States We deliberately call the
attention of the People to this further act Of in
suit and persecution on the part of the allied
powers Of Clayism and Locofocoisn towards
the Chief Magistrate of the Union. For man
to be friend of the President of the United
States, and of his administrative policy, is TO
have an enmlty at once aroused against him on
the part of the Senate, and spirit of revenge
with the red knife of execution in his hand,
conjured up, which the death struggle Of tho
victim can alone appease. Let Barker, Brad
ford, Stewart and Tyson, and host of others,
against whose fair reputation obloquy cannot
find a charge of dishonor 10 utter, answer TO
the truth Of this declaration. We do not pre-
tend to affirm that the Senate, in Executive
session, has not the privilege, and should not
exercise the over, Of trying the nominations
submitted by the President, and deciding on
principles Of justice, the propriety of confirming
or not confirming such nominations. The
Senate should decide every case Of a nomina-
ton submitted TO their consideration, with per-
feet impartlalIly and justice, as the august con
stutional tribunal created for this especial pur-
pose, among others. A systematic course Of
oppression towards men Of any particular bias
in politics, persecution Of the friends of Mr.
Tyler, for instance, is not only an insult to the
President and The People at large, but a fraud
upon the Constitution. We deliberately and
solemnly reiterate our call upon the honest con
stituency-Whigs and Democrats-of Senator:
| who are in the habit Of consulting the mag
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-04-25

nifty OF their passions, or OF offering sacrifices to
the perturbed spirits Of departed souls, to teach
their representatives, that they are agents TO do
the bidding ofthe law and Constitution, and to sub
serve the interests Of the People, rather than
masters TO lniilct stripes upon the backs, or to
drive daggers TO the hearts of those unfortunate
individuals from among The People, who hav e
offended them because they choose to MAINTAIN
their own independence.
In this instance of Mr.. Tyson's rejection by
the Senate, what are the facts of the case
Are any charges preferred against him, affecting
in the slightest degree his reputation On the
contrary, is he not universally admired and re-
speced for his generosity and nobleness of cha
racter2 We ask the Wing Senators, was he
not VIGOROUSLY one Of the most efficient, and
most esteemed friends of General Harrison
We ask the Loco Foco Senators, is he not as
hlle Objectionable, in point of political senti-
ment and on the score of personal reputation
as any other gentleman whom they could expect
the President to appoint? Weask both Wing and
Loco Foco Senators, did they not, about eight
months ago, vote unanimously for his confrma
ton as Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia 2
Between the salary of that Office and that Of
Commissary there is only difference of 300 dol
lars, because of the fact of Mr.. Tyson having
honestly refused TO receive certain perquisites
TO which he thought the Government to be emil
lied. In respect to talents and qualifications,
has there been question raised None
Then why was Mr.. Tyson rejected We
should like TO have an answer.

THE EASTERN MAIL.

We call the attention of the Deputy Postmaster at
Washington City, to the fact, that the bag from that
town containing the newspapers, seldom or never
comes to hand in New Orleans on the day 1t is due

TOLERATION.

This country is frequently called the abode of
universal federation. But what American does
not repudiate the tGlm2 federation implies a
dominant power, which having doctrines of It's
own PRONUNCIATION, which il holds intalllbly cor
rect, is sufficiently lenient to allow Others 10
preach dogmas at variance with lis own pre-
conceptions. We boast that we are not to Grant
but liberal. The apostles Of every creed are
placed on equality Of social and civil rights
and no disqualification falls on any citizen in
consequence of mere point of belief But our
berality regards religious taith--not political
preference. As soon as we find another TO differ
from u, in the measures which we deem proper
for the Government to adopt, our liberality ex-
pires-and we become intolerant almost to the
verge of persecution. Prosecute we would, if
we had thepower-and the power failing US we
do all to njure, as far as we are able.
The persecution, however, thanks TO our in
stitutons, cannot mature beyond the embryo:
but in proof Of the existence of the embryo we
need not look farther than the violent tirac rs Of
which pretend TO echo public opinion in various
parts of the country. What savage inquisitors
would they not become, who can denounce with
such assumptions Of inerancy and impreca-
bllity for themselves and such unhestating i'm
pulations Of error and criminality in others? VI
traism is, we are inclined to think, the incorpol
ration of presump ion and folly The middle
and the moderate course we have always thought
not only the safest but the lpiSest, and that
course we are determined TO pursue, as far as
human frailty will permit US. From the vulga-
rity Of personal abuse, at all events, we shall
abstain. Personal vilifcation we have always
regarded as the desperate resource of low
mind in defence of bad cause

ing Post, in regard to tile introduction Of Mr. REY

was 'an appointment Of 'chieh 'o nerer heard before"
This morEins we are assured by Mr.. REyNoLDs him
self that he has received no employment whatever
from Mr. WEBSTER.

learn from disnterested quarter, OF bameess mant

rial IN the same paper contained equally unjust
imputalions. But the article was in the great

THE VISIT TO THE STEAMSHIPS.

On Friday the two Houses of Congress adj
journcd over to Monday, to avail themselves of
the invitation Of the Secretary Of the Navy to
visit the steamships Missouri and Mississippi,
which lay about mile from the Arsenal, at
Greeneaf's Point. AT twelve o'clock on Sat
urday, therefore, a large number of boats,
under the direction of "smart young mid
shipmen," many of them perhaps to be our
future commodores, were in readiness TO convey
the p esident of the United States, the Heads
of the Departments, large proportion of the
members Of Congress, and the invited guests,
to the gay and novel scene of attraction
A more propitious day could not have been
selected there was pleasant breeze from the
southwest, and the sky was beautifully clear
The surrounding view was truly pleasant to
the eve-the star -spanged banner hoated upon
the all in almost every direction, and upon the
margin of the Potomac appeared the hills and
the stately trees, and the shrubbery, clothed
in the habiliments Of welcome Spring, and on
the bosom Of the river itself rode majestcally
the steamers of war
The company first visited the Missouri, and
had scarcely finished their examination of the
several apartments of the vessel, hen machinery,
guns, etc. before shout was heard from the
sailois, who had manned the yards of thetwo
Slips, to thus give notice of the approach of the
President of the United States, who was ac-
companed by the Heads Of the Departments,
and several of the officers of the Army and the
Navy. He soon approached the Missouri, and,
upon his embarcation, the marine band struck
up Hail Columbia p and salute of twenty
one guns was fred in quick succession. Music
again succeeded, and its sweet sounds afforded
a delightful contrast TO The thunder of the deaf
ening cannon. The Mississippi was not neg
lected she also receiveda visit, and acknow-
lodged the honor by salute.
All who were congrcgated upon this occasion
expressed their admiration Of the systematic,
prompt, and efficient manner in which the yes
sells were conducted, and of the polite and gen
tlemanly treatment extended TO them by the
commanding officers.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE COUNTRY.

The position of President TYLER on the tariff ques-
ton is highly favorable to the interests of the
country He occupies the same ground that was oc-
cuped by WAsHNcToN; JEFFERSON, MADIsoN, and
MoNRoE-his predecessors from Virginia. He re-
CARDS the country fully competent to sustain her
self and eudeavors to intuse spirit truly american
into all with whom he holds official social inter-
course, In these views, we are happy to know, all
the members Of his cabinet coincide. All the sup
plies ordered for the Departments required to be
'of American growth and manufacture when such
can be procured, even if they should cost a trife
more than the foreign article. On recent occasion,
the Navy Department advertised for certain article,
when of the bids being remarkably low, the sus-
picion arose that the bidder intended to supply from
British sources and the contract not allotted UNI
Til satisfactory evidence was furnished that there
no such deception intended. This is the true spirit
the spirit which will make the country really indie
pendent. We may, therefore, congratulate the coun-
try upon having .7merican administration. The
following is an extract from the annual Message of
the President:
