FOR THE MADIsoNiAN.
THE CAUSE AND THE TIME.

The friends of the Administration are called
in the support of those great principles on which
it processes to be based. The question is often
asked " Who are the friends of John Tyler,
and what are they doing to advance his nte-
rest 2" That great changes, in favor Of the ex-
isting Administration, are taking place through
out the Democratic party and in the feelings Of
liberal-minded men generally, none can deny.
The bitter unrelenting, and proscriptive tone
of certain Democratic papers-a tone as unge-
nerous to the Administration, as it is impolilic
and runous to the harmony Of the Democratic
party--is undergoing most favorable and pleas
ing change. This feeling should be encouraged
and inculca,ed, and every possible endeavor
should be made to soften down this asperty,
and unite every Democratic heart and hand 10
bonds of fellowship and good will. Let the
honest Democracy of the land see and know
tina, we are Of them and with them that our
principles and feelings are all id, mt fed and il
is not only for the best interests Of the country,
but Of the Democratic party, that union and bar
mony should exist in regard to measures-and,
in reference TO men, as every individual has the
inherent right Of expressing his feelings and
opinions at all times and in all places, no one
should be denounced and vilifed for his ndiyi-
dual preferences, so long as that preference is
for one who would advance and freely carry out
the great Democratic truths on which our party
is based that these measures vii. be acted upon
and carried out by the present Adminisl ration
we believe. 1t has planted itself upon the broad
platform Of Republicanism, and there it will
stand, and all the power and force of designing
men or corrupt politicians cannot drive it there
from that il has encountered dangers and diff
culties which few can know or understand, we
are well aware. While il has end,avo to
shun the path which certain men-justly obnox-
ous to the Democratic party-bave endeavored
to lead it through, it has not received tina, gene
rous, manly, aud independent support from the
Democratic party and the press, to which twas
fairly and rightly entitled for its high and Dem
ocratc tone and the enforcement of great Dem
ocralc measures. Selfish and corrupt poli,-
clans, while at heart they approved of these
measures, feared their effect upon themselves.
Instead of supporting the arm which has swept
from the land The minions Ct Federalism and
driven back the hordes who would faten on cor
ruption, engendered by their own legislation,
they would weaken lis force, paralyze its
strength, and thus check, If they could, the very
movements which they profess 10 ipcucste and

gives to our appeal. We had hoped that he
would appreciate the high considerations Of the
character Of the American newspaper press,
and Of an elevated political morality which we
presented to him, and would have taken the

by all who are disposed to maintain the efficacy
as well as the liberty of the press But the

vantage from IT, But we are sure the time will
arrive when Mr.. Richie will be convinced that
the base means employed by the Individual in

good, and that he will hereafter exclaim with one
placed in circumstances notvery unlike, non tall

POLITICAL NEWS.

The Bangor (Me.) Democrat, if not support
ed by the Globes money, has at least most sub
mssively obeyed its imperious orders in every
thing. The Democrat threw off the mask of
fairness and liberality 10 the other candidates
last week and, following the example of the
Globe, declared, Sin advance Of the decision of
the Convention" that Mr.. Van Buren, must be
the man. We copy some of its remarks on
Mr.. Calhoun
MIR. Calhoun, from 1891 to 1897, acted with the
Federal party, and was associated with Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster, ito leaders, in waging I'M
compromising warfare against the Democratic party.
In 1882, the year that Jackson vetoed the Bank,
Mr.. Calhoun voted for its re-charter.
Mr. Calhoun voted to impeach President Jackson
for the resolution of censure which expunged
from the record of the Senate by the unanimous re.
quest of the Democracy of the Union.
He gave his casting vote Vice President, reject
ing the nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, as minister TO
England.
He was at the head Of the Modification movement
in South Carolina, which threatened dissolution OF
the Union.
Mr.. Calhoun not only voted for the Webster treaty
but made speech in its favor--a treaty which in
jured Name in her property and jursdctonal rights
and deeply dishonored the country.
Mr.. Calhoun opposed the Suffrage party in Rhode
Island in their struggle for constitution which
would secure equal rights and privileges to the peo-
pie of that State.
He opposed at the last session of Congress the bill
for the security and settlement of Oregon.
For six years Mr. Calhoun acted with the Federal
party, and was leading opposer of the Democratic
Administration. He stumbled, and fell upon the
"one term principle" He was elected Vice Presi.
dent when General Jackson was chosen President
and if Jackson had positively declined reelection,
and thrown his influence in Calhouns favor for the
succession" the dark page in the life Of the bril-
liant South Carolinian would have been of brighter
hue. He committed great mistake, which sullied
his fair fame. His feelings and his antipathes--l
will not say his unrestrained ambition-led him
astray and although he has done much to atone for
his errors, the confidence of the party in his stability
is not altogether restored.

BLOODY WORK IN KENTUCKY.

We learn by private letters that most bloody
deed has been perpetrated in Mr.. Garrett Davis's
District, by Mr.. c. NJ CLAY. Our account
states that the friends of Mr.. Wickliffe, who is
the Republican candidate, having ascertained
that a caucus had met at Frankfort aud ar
ranged the District with the view to elect Mr.
Davis, boldly asserted The fact at meeting held
last week at RusselPs Cave. Mr.. CLAY was
present and denied the charge; Mr. BRowN,
special agent OF the Post Office Department, be-
ing also present, and in possession Of the proof
of the holding of the caucus, reiterated the
charge upon which Mr.. CLAY assailed him
with huge Borie knDe--cut out his left eye
cut off his left ear-gashed his left shoulder
six inches in length and one and half in depth,
so that il is expected he will die.
