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

The real political feeling Of the country has
been wholly misunderstood BY the managers Of
the machinery Of parry, and they are completely
at fault None are so blind as those who nil
mol sees aud 50 il has proved 10 this Stale. l
have been watching their movements since The
Legislative Caucus very closely, and everything
has turned Out exactly as any man, who was
willing 10 be instructed by experience, might
have foreseen. Those who have set the polili-
cal machinery Of this State in motion have act
ed as though il was adapted to the present state
Of advancement in political knowIedge-lhey
have made no kind OF allowance fol any change
in the public taste since they last worked is
and they begin TO End that there is such thing
as being behind the times, which they certainly
are most uofuily,
They have rightly judged in one thing and
chat is so papable that they could not well mis-
caculale--they have truly considered that The
great mass Of tie vo'ers OF this Union We're
Democrats and that Democracy would always
triumph They have, however, made The most
fatal mistake in supposing that they had pa
tent rightlo dictate the course the Democracy
should take in the coming contest for the Plesi-
dency.
This mistake is rendered noio most manifest
" obvious by the recent elections in Tennessee,
North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio The defeat of 1910
was defeat Of the Globe dictators. and MOI Of
the Democratic party and so il has already
turned out, and the future will only tend 10 con
firm il more and more.
No one now pretends to doubt that Tennes-
see was lost by Identifying the old issues with
the Democratic cause; and there is almost an
equal certainty that the other States have ncin-
ed TO the Wings for the same reason. This is
rendered most obvious from the fact that in
New Jersey. the only State which has gone
right, the Globe dynasty was not only not men
toned, but it was distinctly understood that
President Tyler was the Democrat 10 whose
policy New Jersey was most devoted.
The real facts in the case are, that against the
issue that is TO be made by the Wings of Ma
tional Bank, Land Distribution, high Tariff
and Federal rule President Tyler is the man to
whom it is due that his course should be sus-
tanned by the Democracy; and he is the man
who must be supported or the Wings will, in all
regain their power.
The People cannot understand the matter as
it is attempted TO be forced upon them by the
would-be leaders of the Democracy. The real
bone and sinew of the country, who rallied to
sustain Andrew Jackson, the hero of New Or
leans, cannot understand why the man who has
really saved us from those internal enemies who
would have fastened moneyed olgarchy upon
Us is TO be SET aside. and defeated leader
brought forward who could not retain power
when in possession OF il backed by the strong
est party ever known in the land, 1t does not
appear TO them right 10 say, John TYLER fought
is TO be elected, and Tyler is to be cast aside.
1t is not consistent with natural logic thar one
man is 10 do the work and another man 10 be
rewarded for it, The real issue which will
give the Democracy glorious triumph cannot
De placed before the People, connected with any
'iher name, in the same distinct and clear man
,er that it can with the name of John Tyler.
Place any Globe man before them as the next
Democratic candidate and the old feelings of
he last campaign will revive.
The People know iull well who defeated Mr..
Clay and tie ultra Wings in their schemes
and they win assuredly fix their seal upon
measures so righteous-they see how every
hing has prospered under them, and will be
well content TO let everything continue in a
course SO advantageous TO the cause Of the
country and Of Democratic principles. When
The veto was placed upon the Bank and
The Distribution Bill, the Democratic presses of
the whole Union came out and gave President
Tyler the credit Of breaking down the political
party, and you cannot now make the People I'M
derstand Why such measures and the man who
bad the moral courage, 10 a righteous caus', 10
brave the party that had given him power,
should not be sustained. ! know this is doc
Irine that is very unacceptable to certain man
worshipers, but am not afraid 10 place it on
record, as doctrine that must and will obtain
with the honest voters Of the Union.
When General Jackson was first brought
forward for the Presidency, the came ma
rhnery was set in motion, the same presses
enlisted to prevent his nomination. And Mr..
Blair was Mr.. Clay's pander.--ED. MAD The
result Of which we all know; aud they are trying
The same Thing with President Tyler. Nor is it
TOO much 10 say that had justice been done TO
him, and the battles that have been fought in the
States, which have gone for the Wings, been
fought in his name, the issue would have been
fairly understood, and more triumphant VIC
tory for the Democracy would have been the
result. The People must know the real issue,
or they will not rally aud the present issue is,
whether MIR. Clay and the Bank are TO succeed,
or Mr. Tyler, and the veto upon it, are to be
upheld. J care not what may be thought and
said by the Extraordinarily may laugh al
