Hi. supreme highness, the illustroas Captain b.
badi, of the New York Courier and Enquirer, of all
men in the Union was, for long period, indeed up
to the organization of the Court Of Inquiry for the
investigation Of the Somers affair." of the most
bid of all the libellers and abusers of the Secretary
of the Navy. He it was who endorsed the ISLANDERS
of John M. Bolts he it was who endeavored to sub
stantatc the three stale opinions that Bolts retaled
n reference to what he heard that the able and ac-
complished Secretary of the Navy had said board
Of steamboats,, and in private conversations and he it
was who had the folly to attempt to make the world
believe that the vrtuous and abe and patriotic, and
classical Abel p Upshur had at one time been guilty
Of the crime of misprson Of treason. No falsehood
has, heretofore, been too vile too gross to be
tailed by the Courier and Enquirer to promote the
injury of the Secretary of the Navy. But, of late,
the same mcndacous individual has thought proper

path of Duty by the appreciation Of his stale and n.y.
pocritical blarney, he will find himself very sadly
mistaken.
Judge Upshur is one Of the few great men of the
nation and his administration Of the Navy Depart
men rejects the highest honors his character as
statesman and patriot, who has the good of his
country ever in view.
As a jurst, he has few equals and no superiors in
the country and as scholar,
"a wise and good one !"
he holds an eminent rank among the more
learned men of the day and a critic and clas-
steal writer, where shall we find his superiori
Such man, my word for it, is proof against the
miserable blarney Of the New York Courier and En-
qurer, and certainly cannot be benefited by the
mendaton of thrice convicted beller, be Aattered
by the sinister encomums Of press that long since
lost ell credit with the people, and is now regarded
as the pensoned slandercr Of the President, and
the wreck Of common vehicle Of falls hood and Bo-
bsdilism. Let the organ of detraction and Of cor
ruption pass without further notice
The Naval Court Martial on board the ship North
will get through the public press.
The Democratic party of Rhode Island went into
Convention yesterday to nominate State officers.
The result has not yet reached ! do not find any

The time has arrived when the friends of President
Tyler should get into a most complete and tho
roughgong organization. No time should be lost.
Action prompt, exact, and perfect unity Of action
should be had. Nor is this all Every man who
processes TO be friend Of the President should be
the alert, wide awake, up and doing Every man
who processes to be friend Of the President should
make his appearance,i shape before the public,
and himself ready to stake his all the issue Of
the approaching contest He should have no second
preference; no second loves he should know no
other candidate for the Presidency than John Tyler
and If he be ready expose himself for the sue
cess of the President and the Administration, he |
should be accommodated as foe to the party.
For one entered the ranks for better or for
worse, and come wha, may, am ready to meet the
consequences Of the campaign If success attend us,

down, for shall be consoled with the glorious reAec-
ton that have done my duty. 60 with the Prcsi- |
den, body and soul; not because hope for present
ultimate prefermcnt at the hands Of the man. but
because honor him for maintaining and carrying out,
amid all the violence and viruencc that has bcset
him, those glorious Democratic Republican principles
that imbibcd with my mothers milk, and which ars |
rendered immortal by the wisdom, and patriotism.

perpetuate the glorious ,riumphs that have been
achieved by his Administration.
