FOR THE MADlsoNiAN.
Ma, EpToR-I have read your article Of the -
ult. in reply to Mr.. Ritchies huttering anxiety re-
specting the rumored dspos ton of President Tyler
aud his friends towards Mr. Clay and the Wing par
~. Nothing could have been better said or more
timely, in temper in sentiment, or in admonition,
than your article, and nothing more in consonance
with the convictions Of the Presidents friends every
where.
That the Van Buren, men Of the North and East
have played Iremeditaey false, aud hearessly
towards the President is notorious ere, that such
a as Van Buren, lives. That TO do this, they
iawned, dssembed, acted the meanest parts of era
spirits void alike of sincerity and shame in their
" hot pursuit" of Government patronage and plum
der and belied their par,y's principles and disros-
ton TO the shame too of all the truly honest men in the
ranks Of their party as ndisputabe aud well estab-
lished as any other fact in history.
There were ihose-few in number ii is true--oi
the Presidents early and uniform friends who
warned the President against the Hessan politi-
cians and their machnalious to steal away his power
and ruin his fair fame. But, the Presidents too ho
nest and frankly disposed, and confdng heart could
not comprehend the sub,ely and depths OF such foul
plottings and political knavery, and was induced 10
doubt the accuracy OF the admoniiions of those few
friends, though not distressing their motives, and 10
believe that there must be sincerity in the fair promises
and professions of those who assumed to promise and
profess for so many Of his fellow countrymen.
But, your article rejoices the hearts and honest
convictions of the Presidents true friendsin that il
assures them he and knows, aud rightly des-
pises, the willy entertainments that rai,ed pur-
posely to dupe, and rob, and then desert him, The
article of the Enquirer, the other hard, berays to
their indignant comprehension no less clearly, how
ready he is 10 ply The Bonded knee of sycopancy TO
effect u continuation of the Presidents misplaced
confidence in the trcacherous minons Of Van Buren,
ism, that the party" may exc out still other adyan-
lagos from this foul game of political duplcity.
1t is in the East mainly that the President has
been deceived and cheated by the cohorts of Mr..
Ritche's party, The truth of this is too palpa-
ble too VIGOROUSLY acknowledged in all the East to
allow word of justification, of palliation, Of de-
fence to come from that quarter Shame-the shame
of detected treachery is so potent as TO sthe there
every utterance of an exculpatory sentiment the
subject. Then what is the alternative Let us
state it.
The East is silent-sent and listess as death
but from the bland, gentle South, the voice of sooth-
ing appliances towards the President is up BY
Mr. Richie, asking him to remember and think only
of the generous afinit,s of the Presidents political
creed with the professed principles of Van Burenism
in the South, and in opposition to this, TO remember
how deep in debasement and obloquy the Wings,
headed by Mr. Clay, have abored to sink both the
President and all the friends of his principles whe
Their in the Tyler or the Van Buren, party-and urg-
ing, by the sotest seductons of sancted friendship
that the President Will TO abandon or re-
pudiaie the prohered embraces Of the Van Buren, De-
mocrats, and, in effect secure the triumph Of MIR
Clay and the Wings DO now, dear .Ir. President
Tyler, Continues in substance this political conjuror
do, dear Nh President, consent, yet little while
longer, TO be deceived and abused by the Van Blu
renItes Of New York and Of New England if it be
only of pure spite, and for the love of exquisite
vengeance upon The Wigs, who have treated you 50
badly for If you will not consent to do 50, the hopes
of Van Burensm will be prostraied forever, aud
poor Ritche's vocation will be gone And # you
won't do this, why d. dear Mr.. President, proclaim
through the Msdisonian that you have corrupty bar
tered away the political influence of your Admins
w h'o w HlEa Just 80 AZ 10 accommodate
Van Burens friends with the evidence that YOU are
the creates, political prcngate alive for by this no.
BILE, generous, patriotic sel.,acrifce on your part
upon the altar Of namy, Van Buren, hope to rise
in the land
What a beautiful foil TO the heariless treachery Of
the Eastern politicians, towards the President this
mild and amiablc, and seductive Mr. Richie, would
make Of the President himself!
MIR. Editor, the cunning Of the serpent, and the
genteness OF the dove both very well understood
at this day. trust God that the President is no
longer 10 be made the victim Of the Knockers and vile
imtators Of either. again renew my hearty thanks
for the spirit tone and sentiment OF your article be-
fore alluded to- and hope they may not be wanted
hereafter among the friends Of the President in any
quarter Of The Union, whether few or many in num-
