see that the Globe, Bay State Democrat, and a
few other ultra and desperate Van Buren, papers
attacking Messrs. Henshaw and Nelson for accepting
place in the Cabinet.
This is it should be, in order to carry out their
consistency, and place themselves par with the
Clay Wing papers, with which they will be found
fighting to the fullest extent when the great battle
comes of in 1874. The selfish, dctatoral, headlong
and proscrptve of the Globe and its few fol
lowers has been sustained by the Democratic par
ty, and am glad to see so few Republican papers
throughout the Union approving its warfare upon the
President and his Cabinet, and various times upon
most Of the candidates for the Presidency, with the sin
gle exception of Mr. Clay
By the by, you hit the nail on the head when you
exposed the nfamou. conduct and participation of
+. p. Blair, in aiding forward the celebrated CO
ALITION between Messrs. Clay and Adams, to
cheat Gen. Jackson out Of his rights and make Mr..
Adams President The history of that period and
its political corruptons is generally unknown to the
present generation, which has come upon the stage
of action since that famous event.
Few Of the young men now active in the political
arena supposed that F. p Blair was one of the main
actors in that memorable affair, and you cannot won
der, them that they should be filled with amszement
to learn that this assumed standard and teacher of
Democracy for the whole nation, was the ally and
advocate Of Mr.. Clay in 1924, to effect the prostra
ton Of Gen. Jackson and is now Mortified that any
man of his party should agree TO accept Office under
such traitor and renegade John Tyler! Ii is in
exact keeping with the corrupt and selfish character
of the man, that he should advocate Mr.. Clay and
b,x tigb.t Tod.
fall into the support of Gen Jackson, when he found
his star in the ascendant, and now denounce Mr.. Ty-
Ter for carrying out the very measures and doctrines
which General Jackson advocated in his administra-
ton.
Such man should never have received the conf
dence and support Of the Democratic party and,
thanks to better order OF things, that confidence is
mostly annhilated His abusive and dicatoral ca
for the last year, has rendered him odous in the
eyes of the great mass of Democrats and Democra.
tic editors Of the Union, and now that he sees the
power and glory Of his former ill-gotten influence
dssolvng like the melting snow, he casts about for
new alliances, and mcdtaies a return to the fold of
Mr.. Clay, his first love.
Benton will Join the company, in case he is upset
in Missouri by the Tyler and Johnson men, and Mr.
Van Buren, is not to be reelected, TO open the
way for him in lsis Thus the famous trio of anti
Jackson men Of 1924 will come together again, as in
that year, and will eschew Mr.. Tyler and Dcmocra-
cy, in order to bring themselves within the line of
safe preeedenis under the banner Of MIR Clay by en-
deavoring elect him through union Of their .;rag-
Cling force with that Of the Wing idol
Your opportune exposure Of the infamy of =. P.
Blair has aroused the young men of the party in this
section Of the Union, who say they will acknowledge
such leader dictator, and will distrust the man
whom he shall most advocate for the Presidency
The Richmond Enquirer has already lost more than
half its former political influence in this region, by
having been found in such company, and for his AFRO.
CAN'T anil supercous treatment Of Mr.. Tyler, when
one of his friends proposed I, set forth his claims
and strength for the next Presidency, through the
very columns which he had, only short time before,
laid open to the friends Of the several candidates.
One great good will be the result Of this bull Of er
communication Of Mr. Tyler by the Enquirer, His
