FOR THE MADIsoNlAN.
THE CALLED JADE WINCES.n


The Intelligencer of Saturday contains article
under its editorial head, which speaks plain cir
cuitous language the real alarm manifested for
the success of Mr.. Tyler at the Convention of IA
1t, as well as the New York Evening Post fear his
increasing popularity with the embarrassed voters of
the country, and would each rather any other man
should be run against their several favorites. The
lntelligencer republlshes labored article from the
Post, and, fearing it will not be sufficiently noted
quotes portion in its leader to the effect that Mr.
Tyler Is looking 10 nom nation by the Democratic par
ty Of uheh there is not The remoiesi possibility :" and
sures its readers that the Post being the leading
paper of that party, disspa,es it This chance of
nomination) finally and forever" Now, Messrs
Gales & Seaton know that the Post is NOT the lead
ing paper-no, not an organ of the entire Dem
ocratic party, but one of the very few papers that
have espoused Mr.. Van Buren's individual cause--a
confederate Of the Globe, to persuade force Mr.
Van Buren, upon the Convention. The lntelligencer
believes, and we coincide with it, that Mr. Clay can
beat Mr.. Van Buren,, but knows that he can have no
chance with Mr. Tyler as the nominee Of the undi-
vided Republican voters.
The Post tells that" Mr. Van Buren now yields to
the choice Of delegates by districts and 10 the Conptn
ton Of May, IA" This is certainly very courteous
on the part Of that gentleman. After getting up a
packed caucus TO name day for the General Con-
venon to be holden at such time he believed HE
must be the selected aud finding no response to the
appeals Of his orgsns--the Post and Globe-by the
other Republican papers Of the Union; but, on the
contrary, finding them proclaiming against ii from
Maine to Georgia and having the acumen to foresce
that if he held Convention of his own in November
49, that he would not be brought into the one Of May
IA and his hopes thereby would be defeated he psry
kindly consents TO take his chance in the popular meet
ing of the latter period We wish TO make no attacks
on Mr. Van Buren, only desire to do justice to
John Tyler and the other candidates who NAV be
brought forward on that interesting and important
occasion. His particular organ, the Post however
deserves not enity at hands for its gross abuse
Of the President in the charges contained in the above
mentioned article-charges which could be easily
dsproved, If such utterly false and worthless asser-
tons deserved so much notice at our hands.
We did not take up TIE Inteligencer with any in
tenton Of replying 10 its leader, but simply to note
its tergiyeBsIions-the second Of which is found in
the statement that tie only measure 1.-THE Bankrupt
law recommended by The President to Congress.
which was sufficiently popular to obtain the sanction
Of the two Houses, having been found TO be so UNI
popular with the People that the Congress which
passed il made all haste TO repeal it with the consent
OF the President himself the first moment ii was in
their power" Now refer 10 the position Of the In
iellgencer relative to the Bankrupt law pending the
passage Of the Repeal act 1t opposed the repeal I;
1t commented upon the advantages Of the existing
law; II repubshed articles from other prints, the
tenor Of which were that, far from the act being
unpopular the getting up Of the Repeal was the WORK
OF few interested indiy luas, and in direct oppos-
ton TO the will Of the mejortes throughout the
Union, 80 far their opinions uld be ascertaned
II is but justice, however 10 the editors to say that
when they conceived thst the Repeal act might be
arty measure, likely TO benefit the interests Of MIR
Clay, thy subdued their tone, and suffered the law
to die gently. If this is not an exemplfcation Of
"blowing hot and cold with the same mouth, ~ the
annals Of party warfare fail to produce one
