THE DEsPOTlC EDICT IN THE DEM
OCRATIC REVIEW.


ere informed, are in the habit of denying their
confederates, when they become involved in
difficulties, or pursue a course likely TO injure
the interests of the chief despots aud plum
derers, rs thieves and murderers deny one
another in the courts Of justice. week OF
Two ago Mr.. Beardsley adopted course likely
10 affect MIR. Van Buren, in the South. The
Globe Immediately denied that Mr.. Beardsiey
was the organ Of Mr.. Van Buren, in the House
nay, slrove, we thought, to produce an impress
sion that Mr.. Beardsley was not only by no
means Mr.. Van Buren's organ in the House,
but il was doubtful il they were even on friend
ly terms. This was for the South. But, at
presses, the Albany Argus in the ran, are com
plimenling Mr.. Beardsley, and severely rebuk-
ing the Globe for lis ''prematWe" denial that
Mr.. Beardsley was Mr. Van Buren's organ in
the House Of Representatives. This reconciles
the Abolitionists.
When we read the dictatorial article in the
last number of the Democratic Review, which
asserts that the nomination is 'direddy made"
and that Mr.. Van Buren, is the foredoOmed can
dida,e, leaving no necessity for a Convention
10 meet at all to select standard bearer, for the
Presidency pronounced il the joint concoc-
ton Of the despolic individuals composing
the Jacobin Club. Now, since it appears that
the demonstration in the Review is produc-
ing manifest injury to the prospects of Mr. Van
Buren,, the editor finds it necessary to deny
that MI. Van Buren, or the Jacobin Club wrote
the article.
On Thursday we received the following
note
WAsHISGroN, Jan. 10, 1874.
DEAn Sra The enclosed communication was re-
ceived BY this mornings mail from John O'Sullivan,
Esq, with request that it should be submitted to you

to me.

MOSES G. LEONARD
To J. B. JONES, Esq.
The communication designed for publication
in the Madisonian) was written by Mr.. j. l..
O'Sullivsn, editor Of the Democratic Review.
He ''aa,ly con.radicted" The statement that the
Jacobin Club and Mr.. Van Buren, were the IA
theirs and sponsors Of the article alluded to. MI
J. L. O'Suilivan, however, is pleased not to at
tribute the mistake to US, but to some ''menda-
cious informant" who has misled US.
The following is the reply to Mr.. Leonards
note:
WAsHNGroN, Jan. l6, 1874.

The letter of Mr. O'Sullivan has finally found
