But freely and gladly conlessing his strenuous
and un,ring opposition to resul, which has
rewarded the INSCRIPTIONS and vicious course
Of the editor Of the Globe towards the present
eminenlly successful Administration and The
country, with an office not only lucrative but
highly honorable in its character, he pronounces
the charge that he urged opposition TO him on
the ground of a coalition between the minority
Democrats and the Ithies in Conare,!s TO de-
feat him, 10 be in whole and IN part fdtse ana
Hbellous, come from whatever person II may.
On the contrary, we believe with him, that If 1t
had been at all necessary b airs success, that
the Clay Wings of the House of Representa-
lives would have voted for him; and we
think it would have b. ZEN curious matter OF
observation to have witnessed the effect which
had been produced by Blair's coalition with
portion of the Wing press TO delame and de-
sroy the man who had vetoed the Bank and
Distribution bills. And the inference which the
Globe would have The reader draw, Of Mr.. Ty-
ler's design TO promote the personal interests OF
the President by opposition TO their election, is
equally false. Throughout the entire conversation
he distinctly repudaed the Presidents political
pretensions. He freely expressed his opinion
that the Democratic party so far at least as the
politicians who seemed to have the management
Of every thing in their own hands was concern
ed, would not now support the President. He
urged no friend OF the President for the
printing, but only asked that Francis II.
Blair who had made himself notorious
for his incorporating and unmitgated
abuse, personally and politically, OF the Chief
Magistrate and his friends, should not be the
choice of Congress. There were other men,
poorer, more sincere, more efficient, more distn-
guished-Amos Kendall, VIM. c. Bryant, and
Others, candidates for the Office. He, cared not
who was chosen, if Francis p. Blair were de-
feated. The majority of the Democrats in
Congress thought otherwise. The responsible
iiy Of victory defeat in the next Presidential
canvass is now with them.
He thought he perceived in the present posi-
ton Of the party the necessity of Cancellation
and union. There were thousands Of excellent
men Democrats in office all over The Union.
The success Of Mr.. Clay is their utter prostra-
lion. Every man, according 10 public adver-
tisement of the fact made by him, is to be dri
ven from office. Only here and there is there &c
be left " monument of his clemenryn In HE
success a Federal policy is 10 be visited upon
the country, which il would be vain TO attempt
10 repel OF TO struggle against. Under such cir
cumstance.. the actual necessity of harmony
to be commanded by many patriotic considera
tions. This certainly was not easily TO be at
tanned, when members Of Congress endorsed tn,
corrupt and selfish course pursued by the Globe
and the epthets Of billingsgate applied by Blai
day after day for the las, Twelve months 10 lh'
President and his friends. "Traitors," "Apos
tates," "Renegades" as we are, according 1
Mr. Blair's account OF US, ii is not TO be expect
ed that we shall suffer erery indignily and con
tempt.
Mr. Tyler placed his opposition to Blair
) Rives on this ground of wrong and persecution
and on that of the necessity Of union in III
> party. We think this argument Of the necess
y Of Cancellation peculiarly strong. Judgin
from the recent elections, the Ijhig vote, IN a
human probability, will prevail in the followin
States at the coming Preside ntial election, eve
with the most strenuous exertioDs Of the unite
Democratic party to prevent it, viz;
I, Maine
Massachusetts, -
Rhode Island
Vermont
Delaware
