Correspondence Of the Nadisonian.

moni Enquirer in the Madisonian of the 18th inst,
with great satisfaction, and approve most heartily oil
your resolution to oppose the Globe clique and its
Congressional endorsers. You are right in affirming
that the responsibility of defeat III 1874 now rests
with that portion of the Democratic party which has
marked no bounds for its abuse of the President and
his friends, and which has been guilty of all
Of indiscretion and contumely
The Globe scorns ''Ty Ter aid'--and Col Benton
positively assures his friends in this State that Tyler
shall have no place in the Baltimore Conventions
but that if any dared to declare himself in his
favor in that body, he should be "kicksd out :"
Such is the menace with which Mr.. Tyler and his
friends have been greeted the last eighteen months =
and to cap the climax and ryet the insult with addi-
tional force, the mad caps of the Fan Buren, party
have endorsed these defamers Of the Administration
in the impudent expectation that they will be able
TO swallow us UP run over US rough shod, without
our making any resistance.
Mistaken idea They know not what they do.
They know not the power Of the volcano over which
they affect TO slumber! The young men Of the coun-
try-especialy il the Westwho aided in setting the
Harrison and Tyler baILn motion in la40, will mot
submit to the bufstngs and blusterngs Of old party
whom assumed the garb Of Democracy utter, and not
until the Democratic voice Of the country forced
them to take shelter under the wings of that party
save themselves from the terrors Of minority exis
tence Pretty men, these, to say who are Democrats
and who shall and who shall not take part in the de-
alterations Of the May Convention
That Convention is to be, most emphaiical'y, Ta

pleases TO the contraryand MIR. Tylers friends have
seen and heard enough to convince them that it is
their imperative duty to avoid any and all connection
with it, they would the pestilence that waketh in
darkness.
How they do otherwise and maintain their self
respect' How can they submit to the behests of
men who warn Them beforehand that they do not
want their aid and that they will dash them to the
ground the moment they obtain power'
The Enquirer and Globe, and other like prints, af-
feet think that the victorious party of 1910 all

none were Democrats, who opposed Mr. Van Buren,.
They will awake from this fatal reverie before the
close of 1874. They will find that men can be good

weak, dssolue Administration like that of the past

Several prominent Wings took part in the proceed

do not care, that Mr.. Clay, the Louisville Journal,
National lntelligencer and New York Courier, are
opposed TO it. The whole people Of the valley of the
Mississippi will go for the measure with all their
hearts, and if Great Britain and Mexico attempt to
opp.se the movement, an army of an hundred thou

The West will never rest until it ha. secured from
