thanked him for the services he has done the Stale
approved his acts where could-though we have
no confidence in two Of the leading members of his
Cabinet (Messrs Webster and Spencer) Wherein we
have differed from him, hope we have treated him
with the courtesy at least which belongs 10 the gentle
man But we had nothing TO ask of him Of them,
e8cept that lie should do his duty BY the country
When however an insidious Erebrand thrown
into our camp, in the form of "a warning 10 The De.

sey, as douceur for obtaining nomination of Mr..
TYLER as the next President OF the United States,
deemed it our solemn duty to the People, and TO the
purity their institutions to call for explanations
The replies of the Madsonian not direct and to
the ssue-nor they STILL and we therefore called, and
we do still respectfully call upon that paper 10 answer

The Office of the Madsonian or at the Office of Mr.. AL

Senate A single, unequvocal No will seal our lips
upon that subject for In like manner, we ask
whether any one or more appointments have been made
in New Jersey upon the condition. or for the sake OF
securing nomination of Mr.. Tyler as President of the
United States We ask, 7ye or No to this also =
It will never do for the Madsonlan to fob US of
with the enquiry: "Does the Richmond Enquirer pre-.
fer that Federal postmasers shall remain IN ONCE,
when Democratic citizens OF towns and villages, IN
public meetings, AJAX their removal and the appointment
Of Democrats"
We "dyccty rcplu we ,couid rather Federal POST
masters remain in Office sooner than give them away 10
any man or clique (who call themselves Democrats,)
for the purpose of buying up votes for the Presidency
This abuse the patronage OF office for the purposes
of corruption, would aim one oil the deadest blows al
the purity of the Government and the integrity OF the
people.
We repeat therefore, in the face of the country that
such acts have been charged in New Jersey and IN
the case of Mr. Isaac Hill of New Hampshire, &c, are
true, we are attempting MIR. Tylers friends, by the
homes of our divisions, TO abuse the patronage and
power Of office to buy up adherents for hIm-and that
this is one of the worst effects of dssenslons
nd has the Madsonian itself declared but short
time since, that Mr. Tyler an expecant of the Office
moi indeed totdem rer6is but by wrapping 10 less
direct phrases, viz that though when he "took the
oahs of Office II was his determination not to be can
dldate"-yet that ''subsequenliy, his character
basely slandcred, his life almost lied away, and his
friendshis true frends-resolved that JUSTICE should
BE- done him. lie has neither said or done anything
in the matter himself, but have to know that
his frends-the People-are determined to reward him
for his services and sufferings, in lsi4."
And has not the Madsonian also declared, that at
was ascerained that the Administration would be
failure, if all the officers of the Government were OPP
posed to the head Of the Government and therefore,
in behalf Of the people, il seemed to be necessary to
party leaders. But now the Post and the Globe are
terribly shocked nj the idea Of the President permitting
the true Republicans TO take the places OF the ultras-
And hence they denounce those who receive office as
srenegades. They would not have their country pros
per-ihe prosperity Of their leaders is the object IN
view"
s.Naw, what does all of this mean, (says the Penn.
sylvanian and soften its words by changing the form
of the expression If il be not that the friends OF Mr.
John Tyler, 'who has neither said done any thing
in this matter HIMSELF using the patronage of his
office solely with view TO the approaching Presidential
campaign and there is to be grand s@eepas soon as
Congress adjourns, OF all those who hold places un'
der Government and who do not show their ealty by
active electioneerng: The whole thing is in perfect
keeping"
If what we said on Saturday last be indeed "unmask
ing ourselves, let also then frankly say, tina, should
this policy be carried out by MIR. Tyers friends, we
will spare no effort TO tunmask" THIN. We will not
quietly sit by and see the seeds OF corruption sown
broadcast over the land, without raising our "warn.
ing voice 10 the Democracy" of the country. And
what better can expect from some OF tie insu
ences by which he is standardization two or three OF
the men, under whose auspices his may be poisoned,
and the appliances of Offices may be abused: Yet IT
they calculate en- pressing his claims TO the fresi-
dency, by such courses, through the divisions in our
own ranks, tell them they laborDg under the
grossest delusion. MIR. Tyler cannot be SO elected
Our divisions will be adjusted-and the signs are
already most suspicious to concord and CO opera
ton The storm is passing away-and the rainbow OF
peace is once rising in the Heavens
If we had the vanity TO suppose, that MIR. Tyler
would for one moment listen 10 the voice of one who
has no avors TO ask of him, and who would not will
ingly betray him into error, would say frankly to
HIM "Lisen not to the fiaierers who are around you
Be not deceived by their praises-and let not your
wishes deceive yourself Look only to your country s
good and TO your own precious fame. Remember the
glorious State from which you have descended; and
may not add with all respect, the lofty virtues Of
your llustrious fathei-and put beneath your feet
all this petty ambition this deceptive lust of office,
which, like the false and fitting meteor, Will only
be,ray you into bog. and moras,es. You may leave
the Administration in glory. But you must eelect

can obtan-and shape all your measures according to
your old Republican principles Do all the service you
can render to your country fearless of

ambition You may go back to your retirement,
accompanied by the plaudts of your countrymen ,iand
rewarded by the applauses of your own conscience,
