OPTICAL"
We copy the following article from the
"Madisonian,"of the 10th uh., and suppose
it may be regarded as embodyng the "feel.
ings and sentiments, the hopes and fears
Of the Accidental President of these Uni.
ted States. 1t would seem that Mr.. Tyler
has at length given up all hope Of being re-
cognzed by the locofocos, and is now de.
termined TO lei his resentment know no
bounds toward the arch coque,te of Kin
derhook who is now looked upon as the
candidate of the democratic party, and by
Mr.. Tyler as the usurper of his "pace and
power" The article is regarded by some
as being rather above John Jones, and is
ascribed by others to Mr.. Upshur, the Sec.
rotary of State. The Richmond Compiler
says. 1.-The article is in the best vein of the
Madsonian-bold, nervous. sarcastic, in
dignant and independents; while in the pro.
phetic way i, smacks of inspiration. With
this article as text, Marin might give us
an awful picture of political Judgment
Day"
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
The Enquirer assures us that it never sub
mitted to the 'despotic will" OF the Globe.
Then we may be permitted to remark that the
similarity Of its course amounted to 'remsrka.
BILE coincidence" for during the past year they
were both continually croaking "peace peace, "
whenever other presses were disposed to discuss
the claims OF some other candidate than Mr.
Van Buren. During all the time they were
preaching "unon" and "peace," the party ma
chnery was actively, but silently at work. And
now, when they suppose sufficient number OF
delegates have been bagged TO secure Mr.. Van
Buren's nomination, they continue 10 preach
"peace, union, harmony, concession" and SUB
MISSION to the decision Of the Convention. We
should like 10 know 1ohen it will suit the Globe
and Enquirer TO permit the claims OF other can.
ddates 10 be discussed.
But the Day of Judgment has arrived and
tn S. presses unjust answe! for their deeds" If
Mr.. Van Buren's nomination has already been
arranged by foul means-and it could be by no
other-then the cry OF depart ye," &C. has
been pronounced in the hearts OF the People
Not only Messrs Richie, Blair, &C., but Mr..
Van Buren, and all his adherents are doomed 10
be 'cast into outer darkness When Presi.
dent candidate is repudiated by the people at the
polls in this country, party managers may con.
trve TO get him nominated again, but no inge
nulty, no trckery, can ever put him back in
the Presidential Chair. II never has been done
in the United States, and it never will be done,
unless Messrs. Blair and Richie can convince
all who voted against their candidate in 1910,
hat they were drunken mad fools.
The Enquirer will insist that we are mad
ust the kind Of madness, we grant you, which
-aged in 1S40-though not in us-and which
will hurl Mr.. Van Buren, so far from the Presi
iency, that he will never seek it again-nor the
shattered party him.
The party does not belong TO Mr.. Van Blu.
should he strive 10 hold it forever?
Why not let one OF the other candidaes-any
me OF them--have chance? Why not permit
he Republican party TO enjoy the novelty, the
reshness, the enthusiasm of new leader! III
MIR. Van Buren iuns again, thousands will vote
or the sold Harry" just TO witnsSs the novelty

en- would be no novelty. 1t would be estate,
lat and unproft4ble." But it is impossible.
Calhoun, Johnson, Cass, Buchanan, are all
90 old to wait twelve years on Van Buren, and
3enlon. They will all be dead or too old TO
un in 1856; and hence, if their friends were
compelled, by the application OF the party
screws, TO support Mr.. Van Buren, in 1874,
many Of them would do it with a reluctance
TO wish that Clay would sue "eed.
For Clay is committed fifty fathoms deep for the
zone term" and no Wing can succeed him.
Those Republicans can wait years-but mono
IF them Twelve.
II Mr. Van Buren, could be elected, Mr. Ben

fire OF genius, TO light up an enthusiasm, in his
ulle finger, than the former has in his whole
body.
Presidents hereafter Wing Pressdents-will

excel that Of 1910, as far as 40 excelled the
second election OF Monroe. What show would
Mr., Van Buren, make beside Mr.. Clay? A fat
sheep to lion!
But 10 be grave. The Enquirer, in comment
ms on our article Of Wednesday, says:
ave ira told that Mr.. Van Buren's friends have
repealed The assistance of Mr.. Tyier's friends
We surely have never done t--no more than we

mighty difference in the result! You do not give |
Mr., Clay your VOfes--but you luke them from Sir
