think it would have b en- a curious matter Of
observation to have witnessed the effect which
had been produced by Blair's coalition with a
! portion of the Wing press to delame and de-
stroy the man who had vetoed the Bank and
Distribution bills. And the inference which the
Globe would have the reader draw, Of Mr.. Ty
! ler's design 10 promote the personal interests OF
the Presiden, by opposition TO their election, is
equally false. Tbroug hout,he entire conversation
he distinctly repudiated the Presidents political
prelensions. He freely expressed his opinion
that the Democratic party, SO far at least as the
politicians who seemed to have the management
of every thing In their own hands was concern
ed, would not now support the President. He
urged no friend of the President for the
printing, but only asked that Francis p
Blair, who had made himself notorious
for his Incorporating and unmit'gaed
abuse, personally and politically, Of the Chief
Magistrate and his friends, should not be the
| choice of Congress. There were other men,
poorer, more sincere, more efficient more distin-
guished-Amos Kendall, VIM. c. Bryant, and
others candidates for the office. He cared moi
| who was chosen, if Francis p. Blair were de-
feated. The majority of the Democrats IL
Congress thought otherwise. The responsible
ity Of victory or defeat in the next Presidential
canvass is now with them.
! He thought he perceived in the present posi-
ton Of the party the necessity of Cancellation
| and union. There were thousands Of excellent
men (Democrats)in office all over he Union.
The success of Mr.. Clay is their utter pro,tra-
lion. Every man, according TO public adver-
tisement of the fact made BY him, is to be drl
ven from office. Only here and there is there to
be left monument of his clemency." In his
success Federal policy is 10 be visited upon
the country, which il would be vain TO altemp,
to repel or to struggle against. Under such cir
cumstances, the actual necessity of harmony
and union in the ranks of the Dem ,cracv, seemed
to Be commanded by many patriotic considera
tons. Tbs c,rtanly was not easily TO be at
tanned, when members of Congress endorsed thu
corrupt and selfish course pursued by the Globe
and the epithets of bngsgate applied by Ba
day after day for the last twelve months TO The
President and his friends. "Tra,ors," "Apos
tates," ''Renegades" we are, according IL
Mr.. Blair's account of Us, il is not TO be expect
! cd that we shall suffer erery indigni,y and con
tempt.
! Mr.. Tyler placed his opposition to Blair &
Rives on this ground Of wrong and persecution
and on that of The necessity Of union in ,h'
| PARTY. We think this argum, mt of the uece 81
ty of Cancellation peculiarly strong. judging
from the recent elections, the Wing vote, in al
human probability, will prevail in the following
States al the coming Presidential election eve
with the most strenuous exertions Of the unite
Democratic party to prevent it, viz:
