Nem Tork Correspondence.

New YoRK, April LIST, lo43.
confess that realise some embarrassment in as
Stunning the attitude of your New York correspon-
dent because am aware that the duty shall have
to perform will be at once responsible respectable
and involve me in species of labor that may not
be able to discharge to the entire satisfaction OF the
numerous readers of the Nladisonian.
Nevertheless shall attempt the task that your
partially has assigned me- and hope for your appro-
baton and the entire confidence of your friends, and
the friends of the present able and patriotic Admin
stration If fail it shall not be for any lack OF in
dustry or earnes,ness, or sincerity Of devotion
"The times are out of joint" as was said by the
Duke of Gloster, at that eyentfu period in the al
fairs Of England, when the whole British Empire
rent by factions and il is the duty of every pa
riot press forward and accelerate far posi-
BILE, the repose of the Republic. The people Of the
United States require repose and, il should be the
business of every rather to alIay than foment the
angry passions All the of industry, all the
head-springs of wealth mpeded the financial
relations Of the whole Union are in state of confu-
sion and disorder and he who is wel[wsher of the
prosperity of the Republic, is bound to step forward
and quell if practicable, the progress of raging dis
cords.
The ruthless partisan war that has been waged,
and is still waged, upon the Administration, furnishes
but sad commentary the spirit of demagogueism
that pervades the nation. That war should be
buked and be repelled-and it will be rebuked and
repealed, if the American People be true 10 them
selves and study their best interest and repose
The administration Of the Government has been
confded to the hands of men, in whose fitness nte
gritty, ability and patriotism, every confidence can be
reposed Against the moral and private character
Of the President against those of the distinguished
gentlemen, who form his Cabinet, reproach can
Justly be urged There is not in the Union
who would dare, on his responsibility to impugn
the one or the Others and yet portion of the pub
lie press employed for the base and ncendary, and
mercenary purpose of libelling all the acts Of this
Administrations those who WELD them
gagged in and out of to render it odous
the eyes of the People. And Why Why is the
war of prescription waged 1t is the offspring of an
unholy ambton-of a base desire the part Of
pirng men, to destroy those who guilty of no
other offence than that of having been delegated TO
direct the affairs Of the Republic-to execute the
laws Of the country in compliance with the letter and
spirit Of the Constitution.
The unprinciped attacks of unprinciplcd and des-
perate directed, in the main, at the head Of
the Chief Executive Magistrate, and their libels
cast at him without mercy and without remorse.
And what has be done to merit all this' Nothing
What then, is his ofience' He has noby braved the
storms of faction he has dared be independent of
all influences, save those Of his oath Of office, and
those which spring from the dictates of his con-
science Instead Of trucking to faction-instead of
yielding to the dictates Of criminal ambiton-un-
dismayed by the raging elements Of faction-unin-
undated by the menace of towering demagogues-
he has fearessly pursued the plain path of duty and
trusting in his God, and the virtue Of the American
People, has successfully struggled TO carry out the
plain and liberal principles of sacred Constitu-
tim.
His assailants have resorted to every possible ex-
pedcnt to effect their objects. Fslsehood, detrac-
ton, perfdy, and all the enginery of unproyoked
hatred Of a man, whom they envy for his pobleness
of mind, ard purity of purpose, and whom they can
moi emulate, to effect their objects but they have
thus far found all their efforts unsuccessful.
II is true that they have succeeded, in many in
stances, in generating prejudice against the Chief
Executive il equally tue that they have, in some
instances been successful in raising popular cry
against him but these things have been but tempo
rary and eyanescent OF all the complaints positive
or implied men Of discrimination, and who ap-
preciate the merits of those who invested with
power will examine for themselves. Every thing
is exposed in bold relief to scrutiny; there is
nothing hidden or held back, and it becomes every
one to enter into the fullest and minutest nvesga-
ton.
Let each one Judge and decide for himself let
him not gather his opinions, make up his judg-
ment on the basis Of mercenary, corrupt and pro-
aigste partisan press let him reject the bluserngs
and the howlings OF pothouse politicians and street
and cross-road demagogues, and my word for il, he
will find nothing in the whole history Of President
Tyler's Administration, that will not receive his
hearty commendation.
II is time for me TO close however, and have al
ready rendered my Introductory letter too long, and
perhaps tedious. The error shall be avoided here
after
Very respectfully, am, dear sir,
Your obedent servant,
