MIR. JoNrs Your rebuke Of MIR. Paine, Of Ala
bama in your tri.weekly Madsonian OF the 7th In
slant is approved by pt least some Of MIR. Paine $
constituents man, aud representative in Congress-
protesting 10 belong TO the party whose motto u.s.
" principles, not men" (but which should read, and
which be ing interpreted, real means principles and The
men who support those principles,) who would avo"
in his representative character that he WIZ mol oe-
fend an Executive officer of the Government VINO
has in pre-emiDent degree, defended and support
ed the great principles of Republcansm, which Mr.
Paine Drofses to hold merely because the President
mad done him DO personal fayors," deserved even
a much seyerer reprooi than you gave HIM. Mr.
Paine will hardly deny that President Tyler has de-
Tended and sustained the purest doctrines OF the he
publican party and has sared that party from defeat
and almost humiliation, and has retired and bright
| ened lis prospects Of success, when NO OTHER
member of the great Republican family could have
! done so, and that, too, when he was wholly unsus-
tanned al The time by any party but on the contrary
was the object Of the most INSCRIPTIONS abuse per-
sec ution, misrepresentation, and treachery'
| MIR. Paine will find thousands Of his constituents
who honestly advocate the old Jeiersonian Republ'
can doctrines, which he processes TO advocate, VINO
will support MIR. Tyler whether they have received
| any "personal iavors" from him or not and who
,,U hold Mr. Paine TO account for refusing to support
President Tyler merely because President Tyler has

ed to his favor by MIR, Paine IT'S Notifying to the

such conduct and such expressions will find no res
ponse Except an EXECRATlON) from any Ala
bamian, or any true Republican The writer of this
article has not only recommended persons for APP
pontment to Office" who have not received the APP
pontment, but he has asked for his her the appoint
ment Of Postmaster in town where the Office only
yields $500 or $1,000 per annum, and that, too
when he was not only the only applicant who was
friendly TO Mr.. Tyler and his Administration, and had
been uniformly so but was the only who had
not abused and villi6ed the President and yet ano
ther, Clay Bank Wing, Of the most decided and
ultra cast, and one too who, though an estimable
man and good citizen, has not only used all his infu
ence for Mr. Clay and a Bank and in opposition to
Mr.. Tyler and his Administration, but one who has
ever been the most violent and INSCRIPTIONS in his
abuse Of the present Administration, and who has
| ever spoken in the most contempuous manner OF
Mr.. Tyler personally has received the appointment
and now holds it, But President Tyler, or those
under him, could mol PERSONALLY KNOW all the facts
respecting erey applicant for Office, and in this in
most other cases, there no doubt conflicting tes-
timony or at least conflicting statements. But even
if it had been knoicing done, and was the known
and settled policy Of the Administration, as it is be-
lieved the under the iaie Second Assistant
Postmaster General under whom this appointment,
was made still this would not justify Withholding
our appreciation and support from man and Admin.
istration which is purely Republican 1t Is true
think this policy bad one; but its adoption in few
instances or in general would not release the
honest advocate of Republican principles from hi,
obligation to supper. and defend" not only thos,
/ principles but the " men who honestly and ably de-
fend them" And this Mr.. Paine will find 10 be the
opinion of more than Of his constituents
These remarks apply to many others besides Mr.
Paine (who refuse TO defend" the President be-
cause he has conferred on them no "personal "a
yors except that few others, if any,
motives AMI feelings dishonorable, and unoorih,
the pairiot-and while writing you must permit me
TO thank you for the able and satisfactory il
which you hare defended our excellent Republican
/ President whether the attack has come from the
! Federalist or the protested Democrat. Messrs Ben.

present course like that of Bolts, and Adams, and
Webb, ct ID omne genus is suicidal 10 The cause The,
adrocafe. But must close.
Yours, sincerely,
REPUBLICAN.
