The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1843-11-09

giving TO the People the power, and the full
power to govern themselves. Federalism, or
what is now called Whggisn, is its direct
opposile-namely, governing the People, raising
up monopoes Of money, aud influence TO Gre
ate power which shall control the mass, and
throw the Government into the hands Of the
| few.
l have no desire to write Anything like trea-
tse upon these two opposite systems; they are
well enough understood-my object in now
naming them is merely TO show that the course
pursued BY the Globe and all those who act with
it, is calculated and designed TO produce pre-
| cisely the same effect as Federalism. A very
slight review Of recent events will fully demon
strale this.
The Wing party were intent upon creating
| one Of the monopolies to which have referred
in Bank Of the United States. President Ty-
Ter, who had always been Democrat from pin
ciple, saw this and could not give his sanction
to it, He. therefore, did as Andrew Jackson
did-he vetoed it, In doing this he knew that
he would be maligned and revived but it was
not in him 10 do anything else, because he had
a Democratic heart. The People, from one
end of the Union to the other. burst forth with
one universal shout Of applause. AT that point
Of time, the political managers were forced to
join in--they dared NOT stem the popular current
set in motion by this smagnanmous, sef.sacri-
tfcing act No language Of appreciation and
praise was too great TO be used in exaltng Presi-
dent Tyler by those. all over the Union, who be-
lieved in Democracy as principle-and the
great soul Of the country always believes so.
Now we are all aware Of the result Of this ad-
herence to the true doctrine. Complete una
nimity prevailed throughout the Democratic
family, and had an election for President been
then at hand, no one would have been thought
of but John Tyler. Time rolled on and the
few who had held power under Mr.. Van Buren,,
anxious again 10 possess il, began to lay their
plans to crcumvent the President and 10 under
mine the popularity of his Administration. The
Democratic party in Congress gave him no sup
port, nor did the Democratic press defend him
from the unmerited abuse Of the Wing party,
which knew no bounds
With>a firm and steady purpose to carry out
the principles to which his life had been deyo-
ted, President Tyler continued on in the able
discharge of the duties of his high Office, rely
ing upon the purity of his intentions, and the
justice of the American People,
After a stormy Extra Session of Congress,
called to carry out the Wing measures of 60
vernng the People by the moneyed power, the
People were called upon to express their oplni-
ons upon the controversy which had taken place
between President Tyler and the ultra Wing
leaders-when full justice was awarded TO his
acts by complete overthrow of the Wing party
at all the elections held a, that time.
The political managers of the Democratic
party seeing this, and fearing that the success
which then first began to attend the wise mea-
sures OF the Administration, would place these
managers in the background. gave the signal,
and violent attack was commenced upon the
President. Now, mark the result! Elections
were yet TO be held in several States and Ten
nessee, the residence of the Hero of New Or
leans, where also was locae ed Mr.. Polk, the
once popular Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, indignant at the course pursued by
the Globe and its satellites fell an easy prey to
Whiggism, because the success Of the Demo
cratic party there, would only be to aid The wire
workers. Since then, the same result has OBJ
tanned in all the fall elections except New Jer-
sey, where there was no machinery used, but
where the People rose in body and proclaimed
their watchword TO be justice TO John Tyler.
In few days we are to have. an election in
this great State, and you must not be surprised
al any result, for here is the very seat of that
wire-working system, which enables few self
interested political managers TO pack coaven-
lions and assemblies, which are made to speak
in the name of the Democracy when, in truth,
The greater portion Of The People know little of
what is going on, until the proceedings of the
managers are paraded in presses devoted TO
partisan purposes.
These measures have often precisely the ef
feet intended, which is to give The impression
abroad that this State is certain for Mr.. Van
Buren,, the political Idol of those who would
seize upon the power which of right belongs
only to The voters Of the State.
Irepeat, that this history of the injustice of
the party managers to Presiden, 7, Ter should be
well understood prior to our election, since ii is
much TO be feared the result will be anything
but satisfactory to the Democracy and it will
be so, if so it shall prove, not for want Of ample
strength in The real principles of the true faith,
but because the People are disguised and sick
ened with the hollow heartedness Of those who
make polite, their profession; who could laud
the veto and the Presiden, to the skies, on the
receipt Of the benefit conferred, and when they
feared his popularity might interfere with their
selfish views, joined in with the Wings, and
man through whose moral courage and high
principle the monopolists were laid PROSTATE,
and who risked everything at an eventfu crisis
