The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1843-08-18
TO the Editor Of the .Nadisonian:

DEAR SIR:-I have been much gratfed of
late IN observing the obvious change of tone IN
the Democratic press generally, always except
ing the mad Globe" and its clique Of follow
ers towards President TYLER and his Admins
tration. and confidently predict that the day is
not far distant when it will be difficult to find a
disinteresied Democrat, who will not readily
aud cheeriully accord 10 Mr.. Tyler, what is
justly his due viz: eminent ability, strict integ
rlty, purity of motive and infexble adherence
TO Democratic principles and usages.
| There is in this section Of New York among
the masses, the uncorrupied farmers and me-
chancs, the working Democracy, general feel
ing of respect, good will and attachment for the
President, and strong desire 10 see justice
awarded TO the man who has done more to pre-
serve and maintain the principles of Jeilerso-
nlan Democracy within the last TWO years than
any other man living; but unhappiy this feeling
is kept down by the management OF the wire-pu-
lers and village Demago9ues, who control the
doctrines Of The Democratic party hcreabouts.
The presses in this county, are united in re
failing all The picked up scandal emanating
from envy, malice and love Of SANDER aud de-
traction, and Illuminated through the columns Of
the Globe, and. Coutierand Enquirer. They will
find in the sequel that the interest Oh neither
Mr.. Van Buren, nor Mr.. Clay will be advanced by
such course. There is sense of Justice too
strong in the breasts Of the American People to
suffer honor, honesty and principle to be sacr-
feed, and an upright public servant to be buried
in runs for the qualification of the ambitious or
the malice of the vicious.
have been somewhat amused with the con-
duet of Blair; he seems TO have adopted the old
mayim of ''you will be id if you do and YOU
will be id if you don't" If Democrats are
appointed to Office he opens his walls of wrath
upon the President; again, if Wings are re-
tanned, this i, occasion for severe denuncation
Well, he can't be pleased, and suppose, must
be allowed 10 grumble on.
Allow me TO inquire, what has brought a
change cover the spirit of the dream Of Col
Starkwcather, of the city Of New York-he
who, for the last year or two, has spent so much
Of his time in your city-who was such de-
voted friend of the President-vho was loud

who, as report said was very desrlous of serv-
| ing the President and The country, as Consul or
Charge abroad, and who is now travelling about
the country denounong the President as an i'm
beetle, a corrupt, &c, &C., &c. | understand
that he boasts that he President offered him his
choice of several Of the most important missions
abroad but that such was his contempt for the
President and his Administration, that he indig-
uantly refused TO receive an appointment at his
hands. What pity that his services should
thus be lost to the public Can you enhghen
Us backwoodsmen 10 this matter. though no i'm
portance should be given to his abuse and de-
nunc alton Yet the President might suffer in
the estimation of the Democracy here, where
Col S. is well known, were it believed that he
had rendered the Col. any appointment what
ever. We are hoping soon to hear of the sue
cess of the Democracy in those States where
elections have recently been held. Should the
"Old North State" 1ennes>ee, Indiana and H.
linois follow in the wake of Louisiana, will not
the "N hte Charles" draw the "Mll Boy of
the Slashes" of the course, and put on James
Watson Webb2 True he is lllle lame, bur, il
is said, his "calf" is ias, gaining.
