REPLY 40 A GEORGETOWN DEMOCRAT.
Ma EDlToR perceive from a communica-
lion in the Globe, dated "Georgetown' octo-
Der 30, lS43," over the signature OF a" GEORGE
TOWN DEMooRAT," that exceptions are taken TO
a communication published in the MadIsonian
over the signature Of ScRUTAToR," which did
mol pretend 10 give report uerbafim oil the
proceedings of the meeting but merely the sub
stance of what passed yet the imagination
of the writer is worked up to such pitch that
hOb-gobiins stare him in the face and he tancies
that the meeting was claimed as one in favor OF
Mr.. Tyler by me. Such was not the tact, for
in the very beginning ! stated that 1t was " to
make The necessary arrangements for The re-
ception of The Hon. ALEXANDER DUNCAN, mem
Der elect 10 The T'1enty- Eighth Congress, and
10 tender 10 him a public dinner an behalf Of
The Democrats Of Georgetown" Every man
in the country knows that Doctor Duncan pre-
fers Mr.. Van Buren, for the Presidency, SO far
as he is individually concerned; therefore the
heated imdgindti0no Of the writer makes
him very Incorporate and causes him TO lash
very severely SOtUc Vi OWN per ooftb'j anu
presume political, friends, by using the fol-
lowing language: :" SO far from this beng
the case, they hold not one principle an com
mon NTH The SPAWN Of hard-cider JYhig-
gery Of 1910!
Now let me ask this sagacious writer, who
wishes to make a mountain out of a moie-hiW,
if the "SEcRETARY, which presided at their
meeting, is not a convert from the "spdlon" Of
this "hard cider" Whiggery, which he affects
to hold in so much loathlng and contempt2 II
so, what an unpleasant position he must occupy
to be thus denounced after having asked for
giveness of his political sins and admitted to a
full communion at the same political meeting
with "GEoRGETowN DEMOCRAT" who would
not "be milling 10 endorse the Democracy Of
one from among The assembldge Of"
Black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray
This 1oise-acre in political economy takes
exception only to the closing remarks OF Mr..
Radcliffe, therefore all are left to infer that the
rest is correct according to his tancjul ina
ginatiOn.
The statement which he gives of Mr.. Will
sons remarks conoborates, in su distance, with
my statement, so far as the facts of the case are
concerned for he admits that Mr.. Wilson said,
.'Mdt he aeds Of the opinion that Mr.. Tyler
acted the part Of an honest man Ia has course
| in relation TO the distribution of the land
! fund.-" Let me ask this iastidious " GEORGE
| TOWN DEMOCRAT" if he is not aware that the
| Distribution OF the Public Lands was intended
as bait for entrappng the indebted States in
TO the support of Mr.. Clay, and compel the Go
| vernment to Increase the Tariff 10 make up the
| deficiency which would be distracted from the
Treasury by the distribution act, and thus, upon
granting presumed relief 10 the States, raise the
ways and means by which Bank of the Uni
| ted States was TO be put in full blast? If he
admits this position, then these measures are
concomtants and one cannot well be separated
| from the other, for they are all Federal mea-
sures and, if Mr. Wilson did pronounce Mr.
must have embraced all these measures. ''
Mr.. Wilson's particular objections to The re-
solutions Of the Clay Club of Georgetown
were-that they evaded the 4" Land Distyibu
ton, The Tariff" &c. and only committed

discuss at some other time This is the true
state of the case.
He says " The bombdSt Nth rhich The
latter part Of The communication obounds in
reference TO The Constitution, John Igler, and
the IetoeS, found place nophere but in The
heated imagination Of The lrriter." This a
"GEoRoETowN Democrat" knows to be untrue
because John Tyler The Constitution, and
the etOes," were mentioned not only once bu,
hall dozen times and, after Mr. Wilson had
concluded his remarks, Mr.. TIPPETr followed in
explanation of his views ofthe Constitution and
the concession which was necessary for its final
adoption, the manner and mode Of amending it
until it suited the People of the United States.
These things must be fresh in the recollection
Of "GEoRGETowN DEMOCRAT" unless his
&" aeindtire" is greater than his "percep-
tire" faculties which has enabled him 10 find
the difference

duly appreciate the motives by which he is
acluated, and if he thinks that he can play the
pimp and spy, and at the same time profess
friendship fol me individually, which will enure
to the qualification Of his aspirations, he is at
perfect liberty to profit by such a glorious exam.
Pile and, if selfshness constitutes his Demo
crazy, he may, for me, enjoy all the honor with
which II IS associated, aud stand "recfus il,
curia," and not "recti in curia, in reference
10 his "poihicai predictions" | wish him
and the party to which he is attached TO stand
before the world with clean hands, J.
"rectus IN curia," and ultimately triumph with
the man who is the choice Of the Democracy,
and Who is the indictment of their principles
