WHAT THE VAN BUREN, MEN SAY OF THE
TYLER MEN AND WHAT THE TYLER
MEN SAY OF THE VAN BUREN, MEN.
An excellent anecdote is told of DR.. Franklin
in reference to quarrel which was referred t.
his arbitration. The parties being unable to de-
termine their difference, which involved a ques
ton of honor and veracty, mutually agreed tina
each should state his case TO the Doctor ant
pledged themselves to abide his decision. The
Doctor patiently listened to their statements, il
which the grossest fraud and falsehood was charg
ed on either hand. The case being quite intri.
cate, the Doctor declined the responsibility o.
settling the difficulty, but remarked to them
"Gentlemen, you seem to know each other"
The Wings, we doubt not will come to ST.
milar conclusion in reference to the squabble ir
the Locofoco ranks. The point Of difference is
the /" spoils - and as to the charges of corrup
ton, insanity, treason ard falsehood, which they
mutually bestow upon each other, the Wings car
only say, "Gentlemen, you seem to know each
other"
AS a specimen of the fraternal feeling which
prevails in the party at this critical moment, we
quote the following paragraph from the Globe o.
Monday:
AVAILABILITY OF john TYLER.-Can any one
refrain from laughing outright at the idea? The
suggestion bears its face ignorance of the man 3
history, or evidence of his corruption. Is he the
man who, elevated to the Senate as Democrat,
voted Mr.. Clay's impeachment of Gen. jackson
in the Senate of the United States, which was
expunged by order of the nationwide afterwards
wept at Harrisburg because Mr. Clay did not get
the nomination of the Wing party for the Presi-
dency, which it was thought defeated him as
candidate for Vice Presdent--and then, accident
ly coming into the Presidency himself, vetoed his
friends bank bill, and proposed more obnoxious
one of his own-who has thus betrayed the De-
lnocratic party as Senator, and the Wing party
as President; and has been denounced by every
member of both parties as a traitor to each at d-
ferent times. If this be the same John Tyler,
surely no honest man, no knows the facts of his
history, would think him proper candidate for
any but such as have sgnallzed themselves by
betraying every principle, and deserving every
party. Yet this man, whose name is absolutely
by-word in the country for every thing odIous
in a politician, is attempting to procure the nomi-
nation of the Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
to which he has heretofore declined submitting
his pretensions as a candidate, and to which he
will not now submit them but on the assurance
of receiving the nomination"
Now, let the reader hear what the Madisonian
has to say of Col. Benton, the Globe, Mr. Van
Buren,, ct id omne genus: That paper of Tues
day, calls Mr.. Van Buren, " libeller of his coun-
try" and says that, to accomplish his selfish ends
he has "stutifed himself. AS for Benton and
the Globe, no term of reproach in the language is
strong enough to apply to them.
From the Madsanisn.
"LIBELLERs OF THEIR CoUNTRY.-There is a
remarkable coincidence of opinion between Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Van Buren,, and between The edi-
tors of the National Inteligencer and the Globe,
as to the effect which the annexation of Texas,
under present circumstances, would have upon
our national character abroad"
"We think that this grave accusation against
our country ought TO be supported with some show
of argument. II is dirty bird, says the proverb,
that befouls It's own nest-and none but a dirty
citizen would aid in slandering his own country,
or would help TO obstruct its welfare, by holding
up such ISLANDERS IN terrorem."
Until Mr.. Van Buren, does condescend to
write his book, or furnish us with his demonstra-
ton, we must regard the ground he now assumes,
IS public libel upon the acts of our Government
In 1927 and 1929"
eff Mr., Clay and Mr.. Van Buren,, in their ca
ger efforts to prevent Mr.. Tyler from disturbing
their comfortable schemes of PERSONAL aggrandiae
men, merely stultfed themselves, without com
promising the honor and welfare of the nation, we
should be perfectly content" &c. = y
"We call upon the National Intelligencer and
the Globe--the organs of this worthy pair of ex-
Secretaries of State and auould-6e Presidents" &C.
single article in the Madsonan, but they will
serve to show the general spirit of denunca,on
and abuse in which that paper INDUCES towards
Mr.. Van Buren,. The following will illustrate
