The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1843-12-29

In the hour Of wind and storm he rescued the
ship. Since then II has had nothing but fair
weather, and we find Mr.. Van Buren, at the
and il is now looming up ia the holizon--how
can the saviour Of the party, whom the iaithless
managers have ssrepelled," again interpose7
AS for the report" we should hardly feel
ourselves justified in going to Mr. Tyler upon
any such errand. How should we approach
him and how open the subject2 Let us see
how ii would be: We should hold the Enquirer
in our hand, and our first words would be--"Mr |
President, here is an article of The Richmond
Enquirer, in which MIR Richie talks of reports
being in circulation of base and infamous CO.
alition between yourself and Mr.. Clay. He says
that Horace never conceived of such combi-
nation, nor did politician ever SO degrade him
self as TO enter into such one. Pray, sir,
tell us whether there is truth in all this
I-henei Of Mr.. Richie, and to give him a
good nights sleep" What does Mr. Richie
think would be the answer? We leave him to
guess. For ourselves, we shall go upon no
such fools GRAND. The President, we know, is
incapable of any thing base or dishonorabe.-
While the miserable politicians are holding
their midnight caucuses and plotting for their
own advantage, and resorting to every possible
expedient TO deceive and mislead the People,
we verify believe his a-engrossing object
is TO advance the good of the country, and
leave behind him a path of light and of
true glory. We do not lelieve that the
idea of coalition enters his head. Whose
time-seryitor has he agreed to become p
We believe that he stands upon pedestal ell
-evated above all combnations-a coalitions
but we would no more think Of going TO him 10
obtain authority TO contradict report of any
such coalition, than TO do any other thing equally
stupid and ridiculous.
We have heard reportn that Mr.. Richie
would betray The South, by means Of an ar
rangement with Northern man" but we
will never be so discourteous, so suspicious, so
unjust, as 10 ask him I" to come forward and
contradict it," But "we do say this" that the
SC foul abuse the Wing presses have emptied
from their OVERLOOKING uns" must sink into in
significance when compared with the ingrati-
tude, injustice, deep and deliberate wrongs, in
hicted upon the President by the special organs
of Mr. Van Buren,
The injuries inflicted By the ultra Wing lead
ers have been avenged. The Presidents princi-
pies are precisely what they were in 1910,
what they ever have been, and what they ever
will be--Repubcan. He has no doubt suffered
by the assaults of the Whgs--but have they
not suffered defeat for ass&ulting him He
would desire TO be at peace with all men, of all
parties but vet, when attacked, he will not hes
ilate to defend himself. He will not wsntonly
assail any pary-but it is incumbent on every
man-every Presiden,--to redress wrongs in ey-
cry instance where ii may be possible.
The managers Of the Van Buren, party-his
accredited organs, who, by means of their
despotc machinery, seek TO control the Demo
cratic party-have sought 10 heap upon MIR. Ty-
Ter more ''gnomny," and have inflicted greater
injury-much more, and far greater-than the
, mpeluous Wing leaders. The latter were gov
erne1 by sudden ebulltion Of passon-the for
former Deliberately aud dcsignedly wronged
him
f But gross injustice is ever punished in the
end. The Van Buren, managing clique, in their
zeal to cxalt their peculiar fayorte, forgot that
the friends of the President joined them in
elecling their candidates (many Of whom have
since been whipped in by the Globe,) more to
avenge the President, than for the love they
bore their new associates. 1t has not occurred
to them land It will not, until be too late, that
their new allies, by using the means in their
reach to rebuke the Presidents revllers, never,
any one Of them, avowed the intention Of voting
} for the man they had repudiatedin 1910. They
, are doomed TO know that it was not love for
Mr.. Van Buren, which attracted the Tip and
Ty" boys into an attitude Of hostility to the
Wing candidates and they will ascertain that
! Mr.. Van Buren, does not possess sufficient at
traction to keep them for himself
These Jacobin despois have led a considera-
bic portion OF the Democratic party out Of sight
of the landmarks of '9S. They are as far astray
perhaps farlhcr-than the Whigl leaders. They
caused the passage of the existing unjust and
unconstitutional tariff They have caused the
reception Of Abolition petitions, praying for a
riotation Of The Constitution, and dissolution
Of the Union. They have heaped contumely
