The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1843-12-28
THE ENQUIRER IN ANOTHER CATEGORY.

We clip the following ingenious string Of OBJ
jurgatory remarks and artfu ntcrrogatory from
the las, Enquirer:
"Thc Madisonian AYERS that il will let the ship
sink sooner than recognise Mr.. Van Buren, its
pilot. We shall not repeat our protest against thai
mpassioned sentiment 1t declares, tina 4" if our hon
est Captain had been permitted to take the helm, in
stead OF being repeled by the rngleaders the ship
would have been safe" We shall not stop 10 inquire,
what chance MIR Tyler had OF being selected Captain,
or whether he could have brought the vessel into port
But must state a report which is ailoat that
Mr. Tyler is about TO change his hag and shift his
vessel, and GO over to the Clay bark. We can tell
the Madisonian, that incredible such is, IL
| is getting into circulation among the Wings. Ii IS
exciting some suspicious among the most creduous
| OF the Van Buren, party. We ask the Madsonian to
come forward frankly, fearlessy, and authoriiapeiy
to contradict IT, We do not ask IL for ourselves, but
for the sake of MIR. Tyler hmself-for the sake Of all
that is dgnred in public life-and for the sake Of
public morals. For do say this that If after all
that has passed between the Wings and Mr.. Tyler
after all the foul abuse which Mr.. Clay and all the
Wings, and all the Wing presses have emptied from
their overlooking OF wrath upon his devoted head
after all the which he has met with from that
party-after he has been 'repeiitdn with ignomi.
nv battling all de- scrption, by MIR. Clay and his
followers-he should ultimately join in with them,
and they with him, and form more mon.trous com.
bina,on than any which Horace himself ever describ-
Of he novelist ever conceived, coalition more
disgusting, than any diplomatic politician dared
TO project there is no lower bathos Of degradation 10
which he or they can hereafter descend. And yet
such the slang Of the such the street spec
ulations of the Wings. We do not speak lightly,
when we say, that one Of Mr. Tyers own friend. has
lent some countenance TO the rumor We call, there
fore, upon the MadisonIan TO forward at once,
and nail the base coin TO the counter"
We will reply to all the items in the order they
come.
We did not "aver,n as is stated-we must
have been misunderstood. We meant TO say
we did say-we say 1t still, and will continue
TO say it hereafier-thatthe ship must and would
20 down ifMr Van Buren, should be its pilot, and
that we were determined not TO go down with
him but would rather take our "chance on
= plank &c.
Mr. Tyler saved the party from utter annihi-
lation, when it could not help itseIf-when Mr.
Van Buren, could give it no aid having been
the main cause Of its prostration. If MIR. Tyler
could save the party, under such circums tances
from instant destruction, we are quite sure be
could, if he had been permitted to pilot it, have
averted the crushing blow now impending over it
In the hour of wind and storm he rescued the
ship Since then IL has had nothing but fail
weather, and we find Mr. Van Buren, at tn,
helm again. When the next storm comes
and il is now looming up in the ho.izon-how
can the saviour Of the party, whom the laithles.
managers have "reT elled," again ntcrpose7
As for the "report," we should hardly fec
ourselves justified in going 10 Mr.. Tyler Upor
any such GRAND. How should we approach
dim and how open the subject Let US sec
how it won d be; We should hold the Enquirer
10 our hand, and our first words would be--"Mr
President, here is an article Of the Richmond
Enquirer, in which Mr. Richie talks Of report,
