The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1843-09-28

But we must repeat what we have often SAID,
that il is resolved upon mischief, and nothing
but mischief. Al one time We brought our
selves 10 conclude that il was governed in its
course solely by desire TO secure the public
printing, and when we come 10 look Into the
condition of things, as they will be presented
IN the approaching Congress, II was obvious TO
our senses that II could only hope to succeed by
uniting with its own peculiar clique the Clay
party. The most acceptable service which II
could render to the Charles was by heaplng
abuse on the head of the Administration
Their enmity to the President, because he would
not commit an act OF perjury, was undying ;
and he who would abuse him most, was most
likely 10 receive their support. What II f. +,
Blair had at one time ext He'd him 10 the skies
for the very acts most condemned by the Clay
party? To change his ground and to assume
a different language, was a Thing easily 10 be
done by the weathercock who had SO easily
performed The extraordinary feat Of turning
against g his connection by marriage" and " the
Yankee" whose course he had SC warmly es-
poused. The sacrifice of the Democratic party,
we are persuaded, would be regarded as of no
moment, if necessary 10 secure him the spois,
and bring 10 hi, stores an additional 5000, 900.
We still believe that to be one of the leading
measures OF his policy. But we have no doubt
that, having obtained this as primary object,
he has second in view, and 10 that we now
call the attention of the whole country. He
does not lntend that there shall be an election
by the People of a Democratic President.
The Globe is regarded all through the coun-
try as the moulh-piece Of Mr.. Van Buren,.
Looking to the election by the People, can it be
believed for an instant, that any consideration
Of POLICY could lead the advocate Of promi-
nent clndidate TO make war upon that large
host OF Democrats who voted for General Har-
r son and MIR. Tyler ia 1910? Is it not plain
and pa pabe to the common sense Of every one,
that without their aid no candidate of the De-
mocralic party can be elected? Have they not
come up 10 the polls everywhere, since the
Presidents vetoes, and crowned the Demo
cratic party with wreaths of victory? Can any
opposition resist the Democratic party if its
members are permitted to unite upon the plat
form of principles common to all? and YET the
untirng efforts of the GLIDE and its allies of the
editorial corps is to prevent this very union.
There is a cause for this that does not NEE, the
public eye, and il IS none other than that which
We have already stated, viz: fixed and de-
termlned purpose to throw the election into
the House of Representatives, and thus take it
from the People.
The Globe has its msgivings as to whether
Mr.. Van Buren, can carry majority of
the Electoral College, and it prefers its
chance of his election before the House.
1t reasons after this way. The House of
is Democratic by large
majority. Mr.. Van Buren's friends constitute
a majority of that majority, and if his name can
be got before them, his election is sure In
this reasoning he may be in error, bat to say the
least of it, the result is most probable.
The calculation is, that ii runs no hazard in
throwing off the Harrison and Tyler Democrats
Let the convention be organized upon princi-
pies not congenial with the wishes of any large
number OF the Democratic party, and The orga-
nizalion will be objected TO, and the convention
VIII terminate without union or harmony The
consequence of all which will be the running
of several candidates; and whether the TYLER
Republicans OF 1910 shall vote for Mr. Van
Buren, or not, this sage and overwise editor puts
them down to some other candidate of the
party, thereby defeating the election of Whig
and devoivlng the election on he House of Re-
personalities, where the election of Mr.. Van
Buren, will be sure
we stop not TO inquire into the sufIiciencv of
this reasoning, or as 10 the probabilities OF its sue
cess, but we as firmly believe that such is the
Globes course of policy as if we could read The
heart OF It's editor. Will the Democratic party
hazard itself upon any such contingency ? " III

sid mt now stands, will be likely 10 h,
so ignorant as not 10 see through the trickery of
the Globe? Can any man be so stupid as not
TO understand IL, when il INDUCES in attacks upon
the People themselves by declaring them TO have
been brbed in the late election? Does the ,di.
Tor, or It's allies, think that this is the way to win
to the support of any Democratic candidate tha,

Clay The only man, On the Wing side. who can
be run for The Presidency or do these stupid
and misguided men really believe that the WHO
party VIII throw away lis efforts upon an old
man, whose passions, if nothing else have bro
ken him down? Do they believe that the Wb;o
party will stake its success upon Bank candi-
date, or one in favor of comforting all power on
a legislative majority by the abolition Of the
Veto power2
We have spoken plainly because we believe
that the course Of The Globe will. If ns,ssvoo5
IN, inevitably break down the Democratic party.
Why should the friends of Martin Van Buren,
abuse John Tyler-they were dead and now live
live only by the course of theadministrative AZ.
