FOR uHE MADISONIAN

FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
1t was with mingled pain and indignation that
read IN your paper the resolution adopted at Albany
by the friends of MIR. Van Buren, approve every
word you have said in commenting on that rcsoIu-
ton, and particularly wherein you call it infamous,
and the authors of it stupid FOOLS" Never in my
life have / witnessed such outrageous and dis
graceful conduct IN any set Of men acting po.
tically or otherwise-conduct which ought to dis
grace any man privately, and which must inevitably
entail upon the Democratic party the most serious
consequences. say again, il presents the raresi com

The resolution sets out with approval-no with
awarding, to John Tyler deserved praise for his We
toes and then concludes with string Of the most
gratuitous, malicious, scandalous and wicked false
hoods that fell from the pen of fool or escaped
from the heart of devil How dare that sqaud assail
thus John Tyler, the Virginian, the gentleman the
Democrat, the man who has made himself martyr
for the Constitution How dare theyi Think they
not that John Tyler, ever true TO the Constitution,
has friends in Virginia, his birthplace, nor in the
Union, where his fame for honor and truth have ex-
tendtd3 Think they noti Pause, then, ye coldbooded,
ungraeful monsters ye workers of inquity ye that
praise and stab in the breath"Art thou in health
my brother ?" Why, sir, the resolution is inconss-
tent with tself-no man Of honor should have been
its, author. To approve any act of the President,
thus denounced, was TO associate with felon
when tbeving the object, crime the purpose
literal verGcation Of all the Wings ever said of u.s.
Yes they said, and said truly, "You will use John
Tyler and then abuse him. Who would have thought
us mean enough for thisi Yet if to verify the pro-
phecy, this Albany resolution deliberately and
purposely penned disgrace TO the Democratic
party-a libel, foul and atociou upon the fair fame
Of President Tyler. Ir is LEA BIG Liza
KNOWN LIE. 1t has gone TO the country on the
wings of the press 1t must be met and the sanderer
exposed. The President and the Constitution must
be defended His acts fairly placed before the coun
try should command the support Of all reasonable and
thinking men, Bitterness of feeling / have sought
TO avoid. ! am Democrat-far better than any of
those who figured in the Albany libel. / am John
Tyer's friend believe him prosecuted, wronged
d--by wronged The Democrats owe him an
election. If they withhold this justice, let them not
stab his reputation-tbey stab mine if they do, and
that of thousands, who prefer him not as a first
choice, perhaps, bat for his availability. i order
them TO pause their downward and reckless career.
bescech no longer. beg longer. | use no
longer accents of persuasion and Cancellation. /
adopt the Spartan spirit elf thou art god thou
wilt not injure him who has not injured thee-but if
thou art man approach and you shall find such
man youself"
In conclusion, pity the want Of manliness in my
party At Albany, ard warn them Of the danger of
eecting Mr. Clay,p Fsderaiisi Of IL, deepest dye.
