OF Mr.. Van Buren,. have conversed with him
since, and we agree now, as we did then, in re-
aton TO men and measures; but if the course
adopted by 6 DEMOCRAT OF GEORGETOWN" is
TO be carried out, should like to know how we
are TO elect our candidate in 1914. Certainly
not by quarreling among ourselves about the
color and pretert of a meeting gotten up TOR the
purpose Of inviting the Hon. ALEXANDER Dun
CAN TO public dinner, and thus subject our
selves to the ridicule of our Wing contempora-
ries.
II am not mistaken, think this GEORGE
TOWN DEMOCRAT" was the very man who pro-
cured copy of the Georgetown Advocate and
placed 1t in the hands of Mr. Wilson that he
might descant upon the resolutions of the Clay
oiuo OF Georgetown; yet this aoise-acre who
Is acquainted Nth the facts of the case"
ana VINO presume is Stenographer, and was
particular IN preserving his notes, from the un-
quaiIhed manner in which he speaks, denies
pertlnaclously that the Consultation" or John
Tyler" was mentioned, except in nv "h.ated
imagination" This he knows to be untrue.
OSSouSS VIC sH0tsSI CtuuidCcu Ill the reSOlutlOD6
of the Clay Club of Georgetown could not have
been discussed at all without referring to the
Constitution and John Tyler, for they were in
separately connected The only object of
"GEoRoETowN DEMOCRACY" as is apparent from
his position, is to gain some notorieY by charg-
ing improper motives to others, while they are
deeply concealed in his own BOSOM only wait
ing for favorable opportunity to give vent to his
concealed pindictireness-which is alien to the
genius of Democratic principles.
So far as am concerned, Individually, |
would respectfully inform DEMOCRAT OF
GEORGETOWN" that am, and always hare been.
a Democrat, and have never turned TO the right
nor the left, but marched forward in vindication
OF my principles when thousands were desert
ing the standard of Democracy seeking shelter
amid
"Black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray"
and at the same time insisting perinaciously
that they were still democrats" but that the
Democratic party had changed its position.
would moreover inform him that / am PERSONAL
ly and politically friendly to Mr. Van Buren,
and would glory in seeing him elevated to the
Presidency in 1914, and will use every exertion
in my power to aid in his elevation; but must
say that this 'snarling" with those who agree
with US in principle, whether they are original
or concerted Democrats, will tend to advance
The prospects of Mr.. Clay, whose election we
all so much deprecate.

GEORGETOWN, D. c., Oct 80, IS43.
Mr.. EDITOR: observe in the Madisonian of Sa-
turday evening, communication pretending to give
an account of Democratic meeting held here on
the 9Th instant; from which one unacquainted with
the facts of the would be apt to infer that the
Democrats of Georgetown were Zone and indvisi-
ble'' with the faced Administration of John
Tyler. So far from this being the case, thoy hold
not one principle in common.wth the spawn OF hard
nominated Tylerism There is not amongst them
who glories IN the se5rtguet of Tyler man. or who
would be willing to endorse tho Democracy of one
from among the assemblage of
Black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray"
that met in dark conclave at Harrisburg and feel
warranted IN saying that at the large and enthusiasts
tic meeting held here not one could have been found
unless, perhaps, the supposed author of the COM
muncation. The writer Of the article in question,
IN undertaking to give synopsis of the speeches de-
vered on the OCCASION resorts to Misrepresentation
He says that Mr.. Radcliffe, at the conclusion of his
speech, SAID, Let me admonish you as members of
the same great party to do justice to the OF the
vetoes,' II he is not your choice" Unfortunately
for the veracty Of the writer such remark was
made, nor anything like IT. So far from Mr.. Rad
clite iavoring the Presidential claims OF MIR Tyler
upon the Democracy, (Which is the idea the writer
would wish to convey) be is firm and warm friend
of the accomplished gentleman, pure patriot, and
profound statesman, Martin Van Buren,. The misre-
presentation IL regard to MIR. Wilson is, if possible,
more glazing than that in the case of Mr. Radcliffe.
The former gentleman, in combating the resolutions
OF The Clay Club, (Which are very severe MIR. Ty-
er took occasion to remark that he thought the Pre-
sdent more snDed against than shining !" and fur
thermore, that he WAS of opinion that Mr. Tyler act
ed the part of an honest man in his in relation
10 the distribution Of the land fund.
The bombast with which the latter part Of the com
municaton abounds in reference TO the " Constitu-
ton, John Tyler, and the vetoes,n found place
where but in the heated imagination Of the writer.
Oh, no, Mr.. John Jones, "you can't come ii over
us yet !" go for the little Dutcbmsn to man.
believing his reelection to be the most ehecuai
means of indicating Republican institutions from the
dark stain cast upon than by tho foul dopgs Of lslO
Though few in numbers, we are strong in faith
The editor Of the Globe will please publish this that
we may be placed rect in ctria in reference TO our
political predictions and the Madsonian will con-
fer favor by copying
