The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1843-10-23

will not now condescend to deny this charge.
We have had occasion 10 prove SO many false
statements and hagrant misrepresentation III
tered during The last eighteen months by the
Editor Of the Globe, that we forbear in refer
ence to this matter
Destroy his fbs and sophistry in vain,
The creatures at his dirty work again.
Like the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer,
we frankly confess that we see no good reason
in the present aspect of the Democratic party
throughout the Union, as exhibited in the po-
litical confusion which now exists in most sec
tons of the country, or in the result Of the re.
cent elections, TO occasion any constitutional
Republican TO rejoice.
We give an extract from an eloquent and
formal address put forth in the last Enquirer by
the veteran Editor of that journal expressive Of
his views on this subject. And we c. II partcu-
lar attention TO the strong and earnest language
which the Mentor holds
Was there ever period when it was more ne
cessary for the Republican press to declare its sent
ments Was there ever era when we had more
interests at stake, when we had more dangers to en-
counter, many energies to exert and when much
depended upon the rmness the discretion, the union
OF the parry! Inc gallant snip may QrIt upon the
breakers, unless the pilots ever vgIlant and the
crew pipe all hands to deck, to her. We have
a powerful and desperate enemy to encounter,
flushed with the success which he won in 1910, and
ranking with disappointment for having the fruits OF
his victory snatched from his grasp-an enemy, gifted
with long purse, strong in talent backed by the pow
er ofour cities and their corporations capable of every
species of mummery and trick and united upon
desperate champion, whilst we appear torn with dis
senslons and threatened with divisions. Thus stu
we tn raj v In
arouse our vigilance, to put forth all energies.
In this condition of our party, come forward to
address YOU in free spirit, the words of soberness
and of truth"
If there be any State in the Union in which
Democracy has a right TO feel con6d,n nj of It's
power, it is in the State of Virginia-the State
which has always been Republican, and which,
although in favor of John Tyler as Vice PIes-
dent, jected even General Harrison by 1900
majority, on whose ticket the true State Rights
Republican ran for the second Office We see il
asserted that, in the land of Jefferson, Mad
ison, and Monroe, there never /" was crisis
when we had more interests at stake, when we
had more dangers 10 encounter, so many energies
TO exert, and when so much depended on the
~Armness, the discretion mark the word, thou
Jew, Chou art rich, of the Globe The union Of
the party" The editor Of the Enquirer continues
TO remark, eve have a powerful and despe-
rate enemy TO encounter, flushed with the sue
cess which he won in 1910, and ranking with
disappointment for having the fruits of his VIC
tory snatched from his grasp" &c, &c. And
here we have one ques ion TO put TO the editor
Of the Enquirer. Who is more 6t-who more
do honor and justice seem to point towards as
the proper individual 10 end the batile,-and who
has better right to claim the fruits and the fame
Of the victory, than he who, amid dangers and
perils to his reputation and his hopes, "sna'ched
the fruits Of victory from the grasp Of the Fede-
ralists 2" Who has a right to claim the ueto
thunder but John Tyler? or, who else can claim
it, The noise, and heat, and smoke Of battle |
for The Constitution, in which the reto can
non are used, are not for ordinary nerves.
There are some feIo men-Jackson and Tyler
for instance-whose nerves have been found
strong enough; whose skill and bravery have
beea tried and prored. They deserve conf
dence, and should have it. We desire The edi-
tors to reflect on this point.
But we have somewhat strayed from our pur-
pose. The editor Of the Globe would make il
appear 10 the world that we are IA Sc to the De-
mocrauc party, because we pubi,h the truth
Let him also attack the editor Of the Richmond
Enqoirer.
We again publ the returns Of the elections,
and invite the candid, calm, and deliberate at
tention Of the Democratic party to the result
When the Democratic party rallied upon the :
Vetoes Of the President, given at the extra ses-
sion, there was one universal shout of Demo
cratic victory throughout the country. But
the men loho had conducted the partu 10 de- a
feat in 154O by means of wire-pulliug aud
party machinery, working themselves into
the ascendency, and waxing strong, valorous,
and arrogant, spurned the President and his
frieods-ihe Globe leading the onslaugbt-lnd, |
in the short space Of one year, behold the re-
suit:

PENNSYLVANIA

Demoorats-and one independent Democra
