THE TRUE POSITION.


John Tyler" 10 consequence OF the recent
meeting in The Park 10 protest against The pro
ceedings of the Syracuse Convention !"
charges many who have received the ia'o' "
the Administration, with having now oe"aYeu
il by coming out openly for MIR. Calhoun ~c''
and gives vent TO quite bitter invectves against
Them because of the exutation with when 'he
friend, of Mr. Clay hail their donss-
Nav ve would remark that The Pl,beian,
(save the Globe) should be the last paper IN '"e
Union TO object TO others, whoever they may
h.. Giving pleasure TO The Clay men. why The
articles in the Plebeian, aud other prints OF The
same blood, have been furnishing alnent Tor
the CLAY men for the last twelve months. Inc
CLAW men have ''roled under their tongues as
sweet mor,eI, the constant aud unceasing at
lacks of few Democratic print, on the Admit
n,station. Those attacks have been Their daily
bread in politics, and the Clay editors nave
given ready responses to the sayings ana oo'"es
of the Plebean and i,~ h--''N"
attacks on the Administration have all been re-
produced, with great guslo, in tie columns OF the
Courier & Enquirer. the Louisville Journal, the
Baltimore Patriot, Richmond Wing, &c, &c;
and no,u the Plebeian is Mortified that any body
should do anything that can give pleasure 10
the Clay Whigs Does the Plebeian suppose
the People so stupid as not 10 see through lis
subllety Does il believe that il will not be IN
derstood as saying "that no opposi ion is to be
made 10 its own peculiar clique?" Because the
Calhoun men, who seem, truly, to have com
posed the meeting in the Park-for the Aurora
declares sit is not to be disgu ,ed that the grea
strata among the mass were the friends OF }. L.
Calhoun ook ground against the friends OF
Van Buren, forsooth The Piebeian mu t cry out
that they gave cause OF exultaton 10 the Clay
Wigs, and that the cause Of Democracy Is IN
danger
Now, we have nothing more 10 do with the
friends of Mr.. Calhoun than with the friends OF
Mr.. Van Buren, but we presume that neither
of those prominent gentlemen will direct their
friends to cease their efforts al the bidding OF the
friends Of the other. Still the Plebean is in a
terrible passion because Mr.. Calhoun's friends
will not ground their aims.
We repeat what we have said more than
once, that the Administration has nothing to do
with the factions-it desires 10 have nothing 10
do with lhem--for it stands upon the broad priaci-
pies Of the Republican faith 1t cannot feel
sympathy with personal faclions-it has not
made, and will not make, common cause with
any mere personal faction-it will labor for
PRrNcIPLE-share all it. measures by principle
and claims the support Of the country wholly
upon prncip!e-hgh, commanding principles
the principles which hrouuhf I, H'ars"s into POW
er, and which have been almost consecrat,d by
the example Of most Of his successors. If its
friends shall see departure from these princi-
pies, in the course Of any one of the factions,
they will not be the true friends of Democ racy
if they do not protest against II. But they
should 90 into no alliance. They are strong
enough to act in their own name, and r them
selves, and should act by and for themselves
We take il for granted that, as "ihe strata" OF
the great mass that assembled in the Park were
Calhoun men, the friends Of the Administration
have seen aud actually acted on this policy. II
any Of it, professed friends have deserted it
the shame is altogether theirs, and we rcjoic,
that they have thrown off the max. If Their,
be a crime more deiestabie than all others, it i,
that of hypocrisy and, instead Of ameniinc
that any hypocrite has torn off The mask, we re-
joice at it. Let him stand forth to the gaze Of
mankind, TO be despised and scorned II be
betrsys one man, he will another, and none
will or can tust to his professions.
We have no word of Encouragement for any
friend Of the Administration. There is nothing
in the signs Of the times to discourage him in
his onward course. We tell our friend, tina
there are daily aud constant accessions Of friends
TO the Administration in every qusfter--its pro,
poets were never more auspicous. Traitor
there may be, and doubtless are--but let thei
example only stimulate to greater firmness--!e
the hypocrites be turned cut Of their ranks anc
expelled from among them-and let there be ne
amalgamation with any one of the faction -
but union with all, when they shall have uni
ted for the good aud lasting safely Of the coun
try.
The Administration has pursued steadily ,
course Of impartial conduct between the di. pu
tants for The Presdcucy the friends of Messrs
Van Buren,, Calhoun, and others who have beer

and worthy to be specially noted by them.
