Correspondence Of the Msdisonian.
Sr. LOUIS, December :

| nave icau Jous tCP'J '" wv 1900
mond Enquirer in the Madisonian Of the 18th inst,
with great satisfaction and approve most heartily Of
your resolution to oppose the Globe clique and it,
Congressional endorsers. You are right in sfiirming
that the responsibility Of defeat in 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 manner
of indiscrction and contumely
The Globe scorns "Tyler ad'-and Col Benton
positively assures his friends in this State, that Tyler
men shall have place in the Baltimore Convention
but that il any dared to declare himself IN ms
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 riyet the insult with addi-
tional force, the mad caps Of the Yam Buren, party
have endorsed these defamers Of the Administration,
in the impudent expectation that they will be able
to swallow US up run over 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 sumber! The young men of the coun-
try-especially in the West-who aided in setting the
Harrison and Tyler ball in motion in 1910, will not
submit to The buetings and blusterings of old party
hacks like F. P. Blair and T. H. Benton, both OF
whom assumed the garb of Democracy atifr, and not
until the Democratic voice of the country forced
them to take shelter under the wings of that party 10
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
Thai Convention is TO be, most enphaiicaly, Fan
Buren, Conventon--let Mr.. Richie say what he
pleases to the conraryand Mr.. Tyler's friends have
seen and heard enough to convince them that it is
their imperative duty to avoid any and all connexion
with it, as they would the pestence that walkeh in
darkness
How can they do otherwise and maintain their self
respecti 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 az
feet think that the victorious party Of 1910 were all
Wings, all high Tariff, IT, S Bank men-and that
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
Democrats--sound Republicans and yet oppose a
weak, dssoluc Administration like that of the past
| The insolence Of the Globe--of the Albany Re
| gency resolution -mongers- of those leading pa
pers and politicians of the same party-al Of whom
sheer at the President all occasions and treat all
his acts (Bank vetoes excepted) with afectaiion
Of contempt which places the lie upon their profess
sion of u inc pies not men"-must and will be most
efectualy humbled again in the next contest. And
to this end most heartily rejoice in the noble de-
termination you have formed of doing "justies 10
John Tyler" though the party should fall.
The President has done much and suffered much,
and there tens Of thousands who will glory in go
ing into exile with such a martyr to the great cause
OF Republicanism.
| All! (says one) was not Mr. Van Buren, as great
martyr as Mr. Tyler
| A martyr to what martyr TO the populations
of the public treasure-to the frauds and corrupons
OF the Florida war, and TO his tnkerings upon the
currency. lie was martyr 10 the will Of the sove-
reign people, who were indignant at the bambooz-
lings Of his inefficient Administration and if he
wishes TO retain any portion Of public sympathy
hereafter, he will avoid a worse martyrdom in lS&4
large public meeting has been held tonight al
the Court House, in favor Of the xaton Of Tex
as Great enthusiasm prevailed, and spirited re-
/
action by our Government in favor of anne ,aion,
which will send you tomorrow or next day.
Several prominent Wings took part in the proceed
ings which shows that they either do not know, or
do not care that Mr.. Clay, the Louisville Journal,
National Inieligencer, and New York Courier, are
opposed it The whole people Of the valley of the
| Mississippi will go for the with all their
hearts, and If Great Britain and Mexico attempt to
opp sc the movement, army Of an hundred thou
sand men will skirt the Gulf Of Mexico in a months
time.
The West will never rest until il has secured from
British grasp tho Territory Of Oregon, the Cslifor
Mas, and Texas. And the Administration that makes
the first eHecual strike for this result will immortal
ze itself equally with that of Jefferson by the pur
chase Of Louisiana.
see that Col Benton has announced the death Of
our lsmen,cd Linn in the United States Senate, and
has undertaken TO say some things, Of which he knew
bit little.
How could he so far disregard the feelings and
known wishes Of the heart stricken lady of the de-
ceased, as to set at defiance her positive command
upon him not TO make this announcement ia the Sc
nate
lie would gladly have defeated Dr. Inns election
year ago and now, to avoid his own political over
throw, finds il necessary 10 disregard the widows
prayer, in order to heal old wounds, and concate
portion Of DIR. Ln,'s friends in this State before his
time Of reelection arrives. But he has no, heard
the last Of this matter.
His fine sentences will not save him from the ndig-
nation Of those who know il is Up service with
him and that not Of his regrets lamentations
| for the bereavement from the h,arf.
The Presidents Message gives almos, universal sat
isfaction among the people, and will prove to be
seed sown in good lime
