LEXINGTON, ky, Dec. 3lst, 1872.
To he Editor u le Madisonia',
Dean STA The Democracy of this State have
witnessed with utter establishment, aud, We might
add, with unqualified dsapproval, the iniuria'e as
sauts of the Globe and its wire-working eoadJutors
syowedly to cast unmered odium ON the Admins
tration Whatever influence such ill'directed imPu-
tstions may have exerted elsewhere, whether SIN
gle individual prompted by love OF justice has per-
mtted himself to be swayed m his feelings ana mas
not disco vered glance, the motives when scu'-
ate the perpetrators Of such injustice, here al least
the upjustifabe assaults Of factlous press, ana
those behind the curtain no work the wires for par
ty ends, and with the selfish purpose OF personal
advancement, are thoroughly understood and appre-
sated We remain fortified by the assurance that the
feelings of the Democracy of this State are OF the
most friendly character toward the President perso-
naly and grateful for those acts of his Admlnistra-
ton where he has nobly and self-sacrifcngly sus-
tanned Democratic principles, and Tor Their 'ndica
ton has truly earned at their hands heavy debt oil
gratitude which, for the honor OF humanity, should
never be repaid by ytuperation and abuse
The course of the President, the recorded instances
of his noble sacrifice Of personal popularity, to sub
serve the best interests of his country, has here Sc
cured the approval of host Of those whose influence
is deeply felt and acknowledged, who pere the most
forw ard TO condemn his acts and to reProbate has
motives and even Of many of those who have thrown
off the shackles of the Dictator, and have refused
any longer remain slaves TO his beck and nod, and
TO act as the mere machines OF his will and pleasure
The formation and the increasing numbers oil the
Constitution Club; the dying embers Of the Clay Club
which scarcely emits ray of light and that too only
at long intervals, are likewise unmstakable evidences
of the facts here stated and the country before the
lapse of the next month"; mark the predicon) will re-
ceve ndubitable testimony that the opinion here ex-
pressed is not hastily formed but will be sustained
by public and open manifestation of the cordial and
heartfelt gratitude entertained by the Democracy oil
the State in mass, for that distinguished Individual
the Chief Executive Of the nation, who fesressly
placed himself between the ruinous and disorganis-
ing measures of factious majority IN Congress; who
planted his foot firmly the altar Of his countrys
good, weighed his popularity but as feather IN the
scale of his country's prosperity and advancement,
unseduced by the syren voice OF personal aggrandse
ment and unterrifed by the relentless knell rung IN
his ear by the increasing denuncaons OF faction and
disappointment
And shall such unselfish devotion to his country,
shall patriotism like this not be repaid by the deep
and enduring gratitude of every lover OF his country
Are not The infurate bood-hounds of partisan war;
fare and angry denuncation yet satiated ii mol,
be assured that the who would seek to desecrate
the shrine at which such offering has been made,
would never hesitate raise the cry Of treason over
the grave of his father and dance the war dance OF
civil commotion the dilapidated ruins OF his
country.
