OUR COMPLIMENTS TO MIR. BLAIR

Begging TO assure him that the following
sentence in his article of yesterday, is consider
ed a, a compliment:
In one brief editorial article Of the NIadisonan
Of November % (written as we think. from its ley.
ture by Mr. Henshaw-certanly not by the feeble
pen OF John Jones,) are mathematical TO the
gathering-n members Of Congress in terms sufficient
y strong to sartle the nerves Of the irmest friends
We will do the editor the justice to admit
that IT was not intended as a compliment; but
whether extored by malice, or arising from
convection OF the truth Of the a. sertion, founded
on the many ISLANDERS poured into the ear of the
editor, IL is certainly latiering to our vanity.
Similar compliments have been paid by the
Globe on various occasions tut until now our
excessive modesty has prevented US from taking
any public notice Of them We believe, how
ever, this modern Improvement in the art of DO
htical warfare, originated with the Clay Wbigs
in whose camp the editor of the Globe has been
occasionally admitted, for the purpose of study
ing the most approved mode of attack on Mr.
Tylers Administration.
But TO appropriate these compliments thu,
placed within our reach, it i, incumbent ON No
TO perform the unpleasant duty of stripping all
the distinguished Cabinet Ministers of the ,di.
torlal laurels so generously cntwined about their
browss their enemies. And it is rather a re-
markabe fact that in every instance when the
Globe and the Clay papers have attributed arri-
eies to The different Secretaries, and designed
TO be exceedingly severe on US, by illusions to
our feeble PEN" the effect produced was pre-
eisely the reverse of what was intended.
1t the readers of those journals shall, for a
time, believe such calumnie., JOHN Joyrs has.
at all events, the satisfaction of kaonipe them
TO be calumnies-and also the consolation to be-
heve that If the humble production, of his men
are so frequently attributed to the abest men Of
the country, that time and perseverance will nj
timately do him justice.
we embrace this occasion, however, 10 saw.
that, so lar as we are advised. the secre,,r;e.
who have been charged with writing the articles
sufficiently strong to starlle the nervesn Of tho
Presidents enemies, have never sisni6,d to ma
their disapprobation of them.

JAMES WATSON WEBB.

TYLsR TrRasSr.-We have never yet heard Of
u situation in any business, under any master, upon
any salary, under any conceivable circumstances,
which does not infinitely preferable TO holding
an Office under John Tyler. Mere OPPRESSION being
forced to do difficult things, is in itself slight mat
ter To be ruled, never despotically, by any man
whose power and ability gives dignity TO his tyranny
is endurable But we cannot conceive how any per-
Of the least manness the slightest sell respect or
personal independence, can submit to the INFINITE de-
gradation not only of holding Office at the will Of
John Tyler, but Of being daily pulled by the nose by
the least and lowest of his pimps and panders-
~ Y. Con s Eng
Such is the language which this man of per
sona independence" holds in reference TO all
persons holding office under the Administration.
We ak this ''person" of such sublimated "selG.
respect" to answer us these simple questions.
Has he not written the President beseechng
letter for the appointment of Postmaster at New
York? Was he destitute Of mdnIiness"
" sci Crespect,' and "personai independence"
when he penncd that letter ? Or, did he debase
himself TO Infinite degradation" in making
the application.
Again Would he not have accepted the office
if his prayers had been heard, and been as yea
lous in support of the President as he is now in
opposition TO him?
Such plain, and simple, and TO him, very in
telligible questions, the Colonel surely cannot
fail TO answer.

THE MESSAGE

The third annual Message Of President TvLrR was
received here on Thursday and will be found to oc-
cnpy large portion Of our paper this morning Il
Is an ably written document and in the main so unea.
ceptionable IN the sentiments conveyed that the most
capious Of the Presidents calumnators will find Il
difficult TO pick flaws iB IL. We are not ~ presume
however, that the ultra wings III be very particular
iy pleased with the document. They fnd in IL no
support for the stupondous schemes Of consolidation
mammSh bank charters, distribution Of Gov,
eminent revenue, and assumption e State
debts, which completely cngross the thoughts and
desires Of their hearts But tie dictates Of common
candor would seem to prompt the admission, that tho
general tone Of the message eyinces honest desire
the part Of the President to do all in his power 10
promote the welfare Of the people and the honor Of
the country II is to be hoped that all his ondea.
vors to advance the public veal, he will be sustained
by the representative Of the people in Congress aud
that the days Of legislative faction and President
"hesding" will be found 10 have passed away for
ever.

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
Secretary ofthe Treasury.

We have New Orleans papers dated 9th De-
cember, which contain items OF intelligence
from Texas, received on iheAth.
1t will be remembered that the Intelligencer,
a few days since, quoted the HoUsToN TELE-
GRAPE, to show that the People and Government
of Texas were opposed to The project of annex.
alton. Now, it would appear by the following
quotation from the last Telegraph, which is
copied by the New Orleans papers, that the
garbed extract given in the Inteigencer, was
calculated, if not designed, to mislead its read
ers:
From the .Ntp Orleans Republican, Dec. 5.
The Houston Telegraph intimatcs that a large ma
jority Of members Of both houses of Congress in

The Telegraph according TO the Inteli-
gencer's admission, is the "ofIicial journal of
the Administration )" and hence, if there should
be no mistake in relation 10 what is said of Pre-
sident Houston, il is evident that great injus-
Uce has been done him by his American coun-
trymen, in crediting the rumors to his prejudice
which first appeared in the New Orleans To
pic, another paper which the Intelligencer is
fond of quoting. But President Houston knows
that the People of this country have both the

TO THE WORK.

The Troy Wing makes the following gratifying
announcement:
GA STUMP Assoc1ATIoN.-We are grati6ed to
learn that an Association, composed Of the most
eminent Wing orators in the State, will be formed
early next Spring, for the purpose of addressing
the people in every county, previous to the Presl-
dental Election. They will take the field as
soon as may be deemed expedient after the nomi-
nations are made by the National Convention, and
keep it until the day of the election. 1t is their
determination to carry on the war in New-York in
the same manner that Gov. Jones and his gallant
allies carried 1t on last summer in Tennessee; and
they will be happy to meet their opponents face to
face, and discuss with them the great questions of
public policy which are to be decided by the next
Presidential election ,s--.
Although the locofocos have carried the State of
New-York this year by some 10000, their vote is
$500 less than the wing vote of ts42, and $4,000
less than the wing vote of 1910. 1t is plain there
fore that the wings can carry the State whenever
they get out their full vote. The efforts of the
stump orators will bring ont every vote next fall
and ensure the state to Henry Clay.
