trious compeers. who acknowledged the evils OF
slavery in language similar to that used by Mr..
Clay. Mr.. C.. is a STAKEHOLDER, and, therefore, no
one can suspect him of entertaining sentiments
of antipathy or disrespect for class of men in
like situation with himself. The thing is prepos-
erous--not to be credited by the most ignorant
or preJudced, that Mr.. Clay, stakeholder, should
be wanting in respect and sympathy for the South
ern people. None but fanatics or fools can fail
10 see the wide distinction between Mr.. Clay
sentiment of dsapprobation Of slavery, as an in.
stituton, and the abolition sentiment Of hostility
TO Shareholders.
The attempt is not made in this tract to show
that Mr.. Clay is in favor of trenching upon the
Constitutional rights of the South Mr.. Walker
would doubtless have too much respect for him
self to make such charge in proper person, and
he well imagined that the respectable authority
of John Doe and Richard Roe would be insult
cient to sustain such weight of untruth.
Since the above article was written, and partly
in type, we learn that Senator Walker has dis
claimed the authorship of the pamphlet. 1t had
been publicly imputed TO him three days ago, and
his silence we fairly construed into an acknowl-
edgment. But he is equally responsible as ii he
had written it, having sent it abroad under his
frank, and with the sanction of his authority. He
must therefore bear the odium.

POSITIONS DEFINED.

Yesterday, as our readers very well know, we
conceded Maryland to the Wings, because it had
never gone for a Republican President, and be-
cause Baltimore was the national headquarters OF
the Wing party.-Madisonian
We don't know which of the Presidents the
Madisonan regards as Republican," but certain
it is that Maryland voted in 1910 for Gen. Har-
rison and for John Tyler. 1t either follows from
these premises that Tyler is not Republican
President, or that the editor of the Madisonian
has not stated the facts truly in the above para
graph. The editor of the Madisonian and the
President both declare that his Accidency is not,
and never was Wing, and his organ now shuts
him out of the category of Republican Presi
dents. Pray, then, what is he! A Federalist +?
Tory! Or is he merely an Accident?
Maryland voted likewise for Gen. Washington.
Was he no Republican? Does the enlightened,
learned, and pure editor of the Madisonian read
the Father of his Country out of the Republican
ranks! Dare he do it? Can he do it! Will
the people sanction this new phase Of " Progress
sive Democracy" 1t is marvellous that the off.
cial organ of this Government should presume, in
less than fifty years from the death Of Washing
ton, to say that he, the greatest and best of NOR
tai men, the founder Of this Republic, was no
Republican.

THE SOUTH IN DANGER.

One of the most infamous devices for defraud-
ing the people of their votes which the demon Of
Locofocoism has yet invented, is the tract ent-
tied 1.-THE South in Danger" recently pu, forth
from this city by Senator Walker. The tract
bears the names of two individuals resident in
this city, who figure as Mr.. Walkers John Doe
and Richard Roe but it is notorious that Mr.
Walker is its propagation under his own frank.
The tract consists of garbled extracts from the
speeches and writings Of a number Of Northern
men, who cooperate with the Wings but every
body knows that the Wing party are not respon-
sbe for the cratic sentiments Of individuals. 1t
is equally well known to Mr.. Walker that less
industry would enable any Wing to bring toge-
Their much greater mass of abolition sentiments
from the writings and speeches Of prominent Lo.
cofocos,-from such men as DR.. Duncan, Cover.
nor Morton, Ruel Williams, Parmenter, William
C. Bryant Theodore Sedgwick, Bancroft, ane
thousands of others.
The beggarly attempt which is made to prcju.
dice the South against Mr.. Clay, because he has
on proper occasions, and without any of the fierce
spirit of the modern aboltionst, expressed disap-
probation of slavery, will only rebound to his adj
vantage. Such were the ayowcd sentiments o.
Washington, jefferson, Madison; and such are
now the sentiments of all men Except the Chv

To assail Mr.. Clay upon this ground is to assa

A STREET MURDER in New YoRK.-The New
York Herald OF Wednesday says: "As young
man named Nicholas Dunsen was passing down
Mott street, near Bayard on Sunday evening,
he was struck from the rear by some unknown
person with club, and felIed senseless to the
pavement. His companion raised him up, and he
was conveyed to his lodgings, at 90 Houston
street. where he died yesterday from the fracture
of his skull. The murderer has not yet been
taken"

FRIDAY EVENING, OCT'R A, 1874.
COMMODORE STEWART.

The Madisonan of last night undertakes, upon
its o,cn responsibility" to contradict our asser-
tons as to the position of Commodore Stewart to-
wards Mr.. Polk
We have no disposition for controversy with
John Tyler's organ upon any matter involving an
issue Of veracity. Upon more than one occasion
we have proved, from its own files, either FORE
gone intention TO pervert truth, or total reck-
lessness as to it's wholesale declarations Nor
shall we at this time stop to inquire who made,
and how the Madisonan came to be the organ of
Commodore Stewart, but we take it that gentle
man very little esteems this gratuitous nterposi-
ton between him and truth. No one paper could
possibly manage to be more than oracle to such an
Executive as John Tyler, and the editor who &C
complishes that task has in the eye of humanity
discharged no ordinary labor, and deserves to be
recorded as a Hercules. We regard Mr.. John
Jones as one of the few who is quite equal 10
such undertaking. As the defender and
mouthpiece of the Captain. he is in his appropr-
ate sphere, and has congenial duties to discharge.
at least, admonished by the fate of Icarus, not
ventured too near the sun.
We profess too much self-respect and too much
regard for the good opinion of the public to ven
ture any assertion as TO men or things without
being properly possessed of the facts. We are
as liable to be mistaken as others, but when
a positive affirmation is made in these columns,
we mean to stand by it, be the consequences
what they may, because then there can be no
misapprehension upon our part. Now, in regard to
Commodore Stewart, we happen to know, beyond
any contingency Of mistake that he has repeatedly
and publicly declared in this city that he was OPP.
posed TO the election Of James K. Polk-that the
Baltimore Convention which nominated him was
managed by intrigue and fraud, and that the De-
mocrac principles were abandoned in that Con-
vention. These were the grounds Of our original
declaration, and we now reiterate them distinctly
and clearly, without fear of authorized SUBJ
staptial contradiction from any quarter. If Com
modore Stewart felt that we had misrepresented
his opinions, he was fully competent to his own
defence, without the embarrassing of such sheet
as the Madisonian but there is no danger of re-
futation being made by him or by his sanction.
Commodore Stewart is too high and honorable a
man 10 trifle with truth, and he knoUs our state
ment to be true in every particular. Having thus
reiterated in the most unequivoca manner, and
upon the highest authority, our former assertions,
it becomes to say, in plain terms, that whoever
denies them is placed in the position of maintain.
ing talsehood.

A SOFT IMPEACHMENT.

Senator Walker in his re cent tract entitled the
"South in Danger" most innocenty steps out of
