attacking Nh. Calhoun, was issued from the
Madisonian Office. One of the siaunchest sup
porters of this Administration in the Senate has
been Mr.. Calhoun. This gentleman has en-
counlered the covert attacks Of MIR. Benton and
the Globe for his jealous defence Of the Treaty.

ing on its face equal peuriIiiy and injustice
We beg leave to say to Mr.. Richie, distinctly
we have no favors to ask of him, nor has, in ou
opinion, the Administration. On the contrary
if he follow the lead of the Globe, he is GU
enemy-for we are identified with the cause O
the People, against the ambitious leaders o.
party, who would make an oligarcby of tn,
sacred republican work Of our fathers
If we understand the President Alright
he intends, if he can, TO make this Fed
eral Government once more the properly O
the general People, and not The monopoly o
ambitious olgarcbsls. He has, almost alone
uncheered, Upholstered, unprotected, bartled will
lions heart for the Constitution and the right
Of the People, and he has mastered his en-
emies in that contest. His name was scoffet
at in the public streets. his abilities derided
his motives and his private and public reputa
ton vili6ed. And now, We presume, the same
policy is to be pursued towards him by the very
men whom he saved from the verge of perdtion
We know Mr.. Richie has his preference
for the Presidency. Does he fancy that the
cause of his iavorire is advanced, by following
the silly and insane course OF such men as Ben
ton and Blair We say to Mr.. Richie that we
have no question but that the days Of those mer
are numbered. They and the clique of politician.
they lead, no matter wha, Appearances, in Ger,
tain sections, may indicate, are, at this time
occupying position pedker than That of any
other party in the country. The People have
decided that matter, and every day confirmation
is made doubly strong. Their unsuccess 1.

We copy the offensive remarks of the Rich
mond Enquirer, and We desire direct reply ,t
one question, in connection with the charge O
appointing Democratic postmasrers in New
Jersey. Does the Richmond Enquirer prefer
that Federal postmasters shall remain in office
when Democratic citizens of towns and villages
in public meetings, ask their removal and III,
appointment of Democrats If so, let hin
again abuse the Administration
