THE BAY STATE DEMOCRAT AND HE
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION.
4, is not often that we have descended 10 notice the
| scurrous attacks of the Bay State Democrat VI

nent friends and supporters, but i sometimes deals
ia charges and assertions which we are Obliged 10 re-
pei and refute The Democrat Of Friday contained

TYLER Administrator in the very outset, applied
TO the President Of the stale slang phrases OF the
Wings and proDounees him "weak and cillating."
With equal truth, goes on TO assert that The de-
moerats regarded him one in whom no faith Is 10
be placed !" and then proceeds To Willy and belle his
friends in the wholesale clustering style that charac
terses its editorials. II next dwelis upon certain
democratic losses and uDbushingy attributes The de-
feat in Mary land TO the influence OF the Tyler party
While deriving consolation from the loss oil The cleo
ton in that State says word about the glorious
| democratic victory in New Jersey. No. while II
dwells upon our losses with JUNCTION which would
do honor TO any wing paper IN the Union, IL mas
no word Of exultation for our gains. Does the Day
State think ii immoral and unbecoming' to rejoice

instance the New Jersey election Tor The results
of that would belle its charges against the Admins
tration and lis friends. Had the exertions OF those
who follow the of the Bay State Democrat,
the Globe and other Kindred prints prevailed, New
Jersey would have been ost'to the Democrats, and
the Wings would have raised the cry of triumph at
! their defeat. But a more honest, more DeDiocra-
| tic ocy prevailed. New Jersey long since hailed
and endorsed the Democracy Of the Presdent--his
friends admitted TO their true posiilon--harmo-
ny, zeal and energy triumphcd--and The State was

against the enemy in solid column, but now, on the
eve Of important election, the Bay State and its
vile clique, instead OF acting up TO their professions,
aud preparing for the contest turning their arms
against the friends of the principles they profess, and
seeking in this way the destruction of the Democra-
tic party in Massachusetts. This couse, however
abhorrent 10 sound principle, is precisely what we
had reason To expect from the Bay State Democrat
The Bay State Democrat! &C BY any other name
'twould smell as sweet!n Call il the " Bay State
Uhig" aud its dcnunciations Of the most eminent
men Of the democratic party, and lis harping upon
democratic LOSSES would render that title no msno-
mer And this paper Presumcs to read out OF the
democratic party John Tyler and all who counenanGe
him! Tor does ii speak for itself alone, and give its
individual opinion for what il is worth, but il presumes
to speak in the name Of Tie Demo ratio party Who
and what conferred upon the editor the Office die
lator-deputy dictator we should have SAID, for the
Washington Globe arrogates the Office Of Dictator
General. Has the democratic party Of Massachu~
sets recognized Isaac II. Wright their Represent
tatlye, and delegated TO him power Of attorney TO
act for them IN all emergencies? SO Tar from ii, The
leading democratic paper Of Massachusetts retu-
ses TO recognize the Bay Sta'e Democrat
Democratic organ--the Democratic presses OF
New England have denounced its course, ard
but very small number of Democrats still con-

course State Senaorby his OF position to regular
nominations which called down on HIM the denuncia-
ton OF the Democratic press throughout New Eng
land and the counry-by his shameful and incessant
abuse of better than himself, and his wholesale
and ndiscrimnate attacks upJn The Democratic poll
cy OF the General Administration. To balance its
abuse of the distinguished Democrats who have yield
ed their support 10 President Tyler, have shown
columns oi Communications from journals Of long
standing aud uuc,allenged political integrity, aud no.
thing but want OF space and inclination has prevented
US fr m filing columns with positive and negative
condemnation of It's course. To balance the denur-
Citations heaped upon the President by the Democrat
and the Giooe have ascended TO the greatest liv-
ing Democratic authority, and arraye ed against them
the venerable name Of Andrew Jackson, contrasted
with whose opinions those of host Of such journals
would sink into the merc-t insi, nicance.
} he Bay State Democrat protesses the principle Of
''measures and not men''but II acts upon the prin-
cipc OF "men not measures" II is more anxious for
the of fayorite candidates than for the
cess of the cause. With true aIstocracy of feeling
II would peril the cause OF democracy, nay wreck
and ruin It, rather than sacrifice To the general good,
a single Individual from whom selfish advantage Is
hoped TO be re3ped. IL has adopted the rule or
RUM policy and pursues It with blind zeal How
different the course Of true democrats While the
editor of the Bay State Democrat "trusts that the
democrats of Massachusetts will be prompt TO repcl
every mpu,aton," "tllat their party is in any man
ncr identified with John Tyler" IN Short desires to
repudate HIM altogether, kendall's ExPosor holds
the following language:
''Our preference however, will be chcerfuly yield
ed TO the will Of the party, and will strive for
victory aud principles with the same ZEAL though
not with the same hopes of success under any other
leader whether it be Buchanan Calhoun, Cass or
Johnson. And were a majority of the Democratic
party to choose MIR. Tyler their candidate, he
would have our cordial support. Compared, as po-
tlcian, with Mr.. Clay others of a like stamp,
consider him an Angel of Ligt; and If they were
the only competitors for the Presidency, would
consider ourseli false TO our professions and Il
, faith, II did not strive TO secure his election
Even the New York Pebian says:
"There good men Of the Democratic party
friendly TO MIR Tyler, and also many bad ones

the whole decidedly favorable with the exception OF
