Correspondence Of the Madisonian
ST. Louis, June 18th, 1843
Your readers cannot have better idea Of the
real state of political feeling here, in Missouri,
than by reading the following extracts from the
political papers of yesterday.
Their tone is exceedingly bitter and the Ian
guage hardly compatible with the character of
the prnts-neverlheless we call things by their
right names here, and, when occasion requires,
do not mince language as much perhaps as in
some other portions Of the Union.
Here is the wsy Mr. Penn, of the Reporter,
handles Mr.. Elliott, Of the Little Globe" the
Missouri Standard
"The insinuation made in the Standard, as to our
trading with the British during the late war; is FL
thy libel, which never has been uttered except by
liar, scoundrel and potroon. Pocket that Mr.. Elliott
| When we have pushed desperadoes to the wall
this libel has occasionally been resoIted to hereto
FORE but those who uttered it were promptly brand
ed as liars, and staid branded Feel your forehead
Mr.. Elliott 1t is there, and there it shall stick
1t is not by lying against that he can make him
sell consequential OF respectable. II he can assa
our avowed principles or opinions, he is at full ber-
ty to do so; but when he resorts to lying he will be
bluntly told of it.-lMissousi Reporter.
Here follows reference to the Tariff cues
ton, the Standard having very indiscreety init
mated that no Republican would ever be found
advocating such a monarchial policy You will
bear in mind that the Standard has been sent
here by Benton and tile Globe, to teach the real
Democracy and the Reporter, which is branded
as trailorous print because it will not go for
exclusive specie currency, very properly init
mates that most OF the great living lights of De-
mocracy will find themselves read out of the
church, ifths sort of test be applied 10 them.
1t is absolutely scandaous 10 insinuate that Mr..
Van Buren, who voted for several tariff laws, Gen
Jackson who voted for that Of 1924, and Col Benton
who voted for that Of 1925 known in some quarters
as the bill of abominations" thereby favored the
policy of monarchists of Europe" The Standard
says =" That the very existence Of monarchy de-
ponds upon such policy, would appear 10 b. self.
evident" 1t is certainly Too severe on Gen. Jackson
Mr.. Van Buren,, Col. Benton, Mr.. Buchanan, Silas
Wright and scores Of other prominent Democ ats
Are they all TO be read of the church? We hone
the. STANDARD will not be too rlgid-Mssouri Re-
porter.
II Is primd fdcia evidence Of insincerity when
politician pretending agree with his party in the
main, is perpetua'iy harpng some one discordant
suing. The history OF every deserter proves this
| fac'.-Missouri Standard.
Ay, and will prove it again in many instances, in
less than two years Every ulsraism is discordant
string-and who the tltras? Those who 20 for
the prosration of all banks of issue who charge the
great body OF the party with violating the Federal
Constitution ny creating banks who charge the De-
mocrats who voted for tariffs containing dscrimna-
tons for protection with advocating the policy of
The monarchists Of Europe and denounce as trai-
tors all Democrats who do not concur with them.-
The fellows are striving to their design BY be-
ing first TO cry stop thief but they will scarcely
succeed, as Gen. Jackson, Van Buren,, Sas Wright,
buchanan, Benton, &C., among those who have
voted Tor moderate prote to though
the policy is denounced that of the rchsts of
Europe AT least nne-tenths of the Democ, ats of
the nation are still the advocates of sound local
banks, and handful Of greedy ofIice-hunters will
only degrade themselves, by terming them "dcser-
ers."-.uisso,ui Reporter.
From the above extracts, you will see some
thing OF the spirit manifested by the antagonist
papers engaged in the cause of Democracy
hereabouts, and Col. B rnton and Mr.. Van Blu
rem can nev,r Withstand the effects of the mar
now so vigorously undertaken and carried on
by heir exclusive friends.
You may consider it the death knell of Mr.
Van Buren's prospects of success in this par, of
the Union, and he has no one to thank but those
reckless spirits in this vicinity, who have sup
posed they could ride themselves into impor-
lance and popular favor upon Mr.. " BIS popu

S. Democrat and the Clay editor of the Repub

gree of brotberIy feeling between these gentle
men.
