SiR:-It is sometime since had the pleasure
of addressing you, not because have felt less
interest in the cause in which we are mutually
engaged, but in consequence OF other engage
ments, and perceiving that you have enjoyed
the labors of others who are equally able to
keep you advised Of what is going on IN tins
commercial emporium. observe, however,
with regret that you have not been favored re-
Gently with the able correspondence Of Homo,
and, in the absence OF his letters, have again
resumed my pen to give you short sketch Of
the feelings and views Of the Democratic party
10 this city.
First, then, permit me to advert 70 views
of our friends here in relation to the course Of
the Globe, which claims to be, par erceilence'
the organ OF the Democracy Of the Union. The
shameless conduct Of that paper towards The
President has excited universal indignation
among all sincere Democrats, which IS clearly
proved by its very small circulation. This pa
per, which was once looked up to as the cham
pion Of Democratic principles and measures, Is
now scarcely read by any among US, and'
am rightly informed, has not more than Mtrfy
subscribers in this great city. Whatcan be the
cause Of this fall Of, when we have thirty
thousand Democratic voters, and had al the last
spring election m jofty of six thousand votes.
II clearly proves that il has but little influence
here; aud, il properly appreciated, It viii soon
have less.
The ,cent attack upon the President, com
pairing him 10 Aaron Burr, and charging him
with bribery and corruption, comes with an Ill
grace from the man, whom you have proved
and which he has been compelled TO confess
was the agent in bringing about the bar
rgain with Clay and Adams, by which
the former was made Secretary Of State,
with the Presidency in reservation! The
Madisonian has stamped upon Francis r.
the marks of which he must carry TO his grave.
And this is the man who has the ,frontery 10
Islander honest John Tyler Oh shame, where
is thy blush
But the yurse of the Globe in denouncng
those Democr Is who have the manIiness and
honesty 10 approve of the Democra'ic measures
of the President, is another reason why that pa
per is so universally condemned by Democrats.
This man Blair has sigmaliz,d many OF the
ablest aud purest men of the party as ''apos-
tates," ''renegades," who, TO use his chaste and
classical language, will soon be ''run orer
rough shod" And why2 Because they will not
submit 10 the ipse dixit Of the Globe, and with
d aw heir affections and support from Tyler,
Johnson, Calhoun, Buchanan, &c. This, TO be
sure, is very modest, but II is in accordance
with the "knock down and drag out' temper OF
that paper. This is not the trst lime that he
has attempted TO "drag victims to the stake"
In 1884, he adopted the same course Of conduct
towards the talented aud lamenled L. gget, and
even the Evening Post, the ablest and pures'
Democratic paper in The whole Union, was ex-
communicated from the Democratic party by
this arrogant would-be dictator. But Leggett
survived and maintained Till his death the re-
spect and confidence of the Democracy, and
the Evening Post continued its steady and hon
orable career notwithstanding the puny efforts
of the Globe to destroy it, The Democracy Of
this city, therefore, have little respect for the
CONNIE. dauons Of that PAPER and no fear what
ever of its deuuacatIons.
! 1t is gratifying to perceive, notwithstanding
the systematic and unweaned Efforts Of th'
Globe and a few kindred prints to induce Dem
ocrais to prescribe and oppose President Tyler
that they have produced so little effIct. A vil'
paper, call, the Piebeianpublished in this cit,
by Levi d. Sanim, follows in The wake Of th'
Globe; but il is so destitute of character, talent
and principle, that no one pretends TO quote /
as authority, except in the line of BLACKBOARD
ism. lis recent attack Of the Bunker Hill cele
bration, il ridicule Of the glorious battle Of th'
i II h June, and its SANDER of the noble Pilgrims
10 the May Flower. has capped the climax Of il
vocarity and ba.eness. When that paper wa
5 arted gave you description of the characte
of its editor and what might be expected, judg
ing from his course in the New Era. Time ha
shown you that my opinion Of the man and III
paper was correct This vile thing assumes I
be the organ of the Democracy 10 this city
God help the Democratic party il this is ihei
organ.
4, The Simultaneous attacks made upon the Pre-
sident and the determination manifested tina
, his name shall not be placed before the Demo
cratic Convention as a candidate for the Pres
dency, show that the leaders are afraid Of b
strength and popularity. Bot, would ask, VIII
is to decide whether Mr.. Tyler shall be cand
date or not2 Is il a few would be leaders, or
it the Peope7 II the People approve Of bi
measures and they wish him elected, can fe'
managing politicians prevent IT? think no
Let such men beware how they tr0e with tn
feelings Of the unbought Democracy-ip an ev
hour they may be made to feel that power wit
. which they now uihe.
John Tyler is an honest man, and the Pcopl
