The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1843-10-30

OF their own race, while they affect hypocuu-
cal zeal for amelioraling the condition. OF negro
slaves. Their philanthropy, like that Of Mr.,
John Quincy Adams, is eager 10 precipilate the
country into the horrors Of civil and servile
war; their love of freedom would remove the
negro from The place to which fate has destined
him, and Nature has admirably fitted him, and
compel the white man to fill the void. They
will pet and pamper negroes, as they would par
rots or lap dogs, while they would have white
men, standing behind their chairs, TO run at
their beck and bidding, and shrink from their
frown. They seek, in the name Of Freedom,
and even Of Religion, 10 crush the spirit Of De-
mocracy, in order that they may establish and
consolidate an Arstocracy.
RAISING THE OLD HARRY.
The Globe complains that our readers. and
many of the Democratic editors, believe what Is
said Of il in the Madisonian. We asserted the
truth when we said that the Globe was striving
10 break down the Democratic party. IT'S con7
tinued assaults on the Administration ADJ
ministrahon Democralcin professions, in prac7
lice, and in purpose--and its prolonged refusal
70 aim single blow at the common enemy; its
dogged silence in reference to the naughty pre-
tensions Of Mr.. Clay, the acknowledged cham
pion Of Federal Whiggery; the pertnacity
of its attacks on all good and true Democrats
who accept Office from President Tyler; It's
abuse of every distinguished member OF the par
ty, whether Congressman, Governor, or Editor,
IL H. an r
the Whgs-terming them "renesades" and
aposates !" in short its resolution, openly pro-
claimed some time since, TO ''rlde over rough
shod" and I" drag 10 the stake" every Republi-
can who would not submit Internationally to
its arrogant dicta'ion, inesistibly produced the
conviction in our mind that Mr. Blair, having
made his fortune, was determined, before reti-
ring from the political field, 10 raise the old
Harry.
Instead Of many Democratic editors"
would that all Democrats had believed US in
time 10 prevent the difficulties likely to be pro-
duced by the inlolerant course Of the Globe.-
And why have they not all believed US? Has
not The Globe been rather counting than assaIl-
ing the common enemy for more than twelve
months? BY what stralagcm, nay, by what
possibility, was the great Democratic party TO
be benefited, and the enemy injured, by abstain
ing from attacks on the Wings, and by direct
ing hostile operations against an Administa-
ZION at War Wih The Wings? We could see
nothing in such policy calculated 10 secure the
election Of a Democratic President in 1884,
And yet some Of the Democratic editors, al
though they could not see the advantages likely
to result from such a course, yet seemed 10 lack
the nerve TO oppose it, or even TO request an ex-
PLANTATION OF its object For twelve years the
Globe had been in the habit Of commanding, and
always with an Administration al its back 10 en-
force its orders. This habit had become a second
nature and when the sceptre had departed, its
been panied TO see, in a few instances, that the
habit of okeyiRg had become second nature,
too. Some half dozen journals have blndly fol-
lowed the Globe, without ever thinking, as we
have the charity 10 believe, ii intended, in the
end, 10 raise The old Harry
Now the Globe is throwing of the mask, and
we doubt not all the presses which have been
led astray, will come back again 10 the Demo-
cratic fold. The last abusive letter of Mr.. Clay
was copied into the Globe Of Saturday, and was
made the text for two columns of editorial as
sault on President Tyler, for retoing Mr..
Clay's Bank BILL The Globe now boldly joins
Mr.. Clay in assailing the Democratic party. Is
this not raising the old Harry?
The old HARRY OF THE WEST" is
perhaps, the Globes first choice for the Presiden-
cy Mr. Blair resolved to raise the old Harry in
1914, as soon as it became apparent that his
"oId friend and connection by marriage" would
be the candidate of the Wings. How could it
be olherwise2 Look it, The blot in our political
history (Which time can never efTace) produced
by the "bargan and sale" between Adams and
Clay, and consummated by Mr.. Blair, must,
Of necessity, be held up to the People Of the
United States by every Democratic press in the
Union, as a reason why an impossible gulf
should be placed between Mr. Clay and the
! Presidency Can Mr.. BLAIR denounce Mr. Clay
for THAT disgraceful act7 Can the GIobelead
the assault against the Wing candidate for having
formed a corrnpt and debasing coalition with
tue puritan VI thc NO''hi WHICH IL - proven
on oath by a Kentucky Senator that its editor
vas the pander who paved the way for the un
holy alliance Never--Mr. Blair cannot dare
not, asssil Mr.. Clay; nor could the Democratic
presses generally assail him, if the Globe wer,
the acknowledged organ Of the party-which !
is not.
THE "ANTI-WIsE MAN"
There is an article in the Richmond Enquire
of Friday which seems TO Us to be not a liul,
singular. An "Anti- Wise Man of Wises Dis
