The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1845-01-20
A NEW MANIFESTO.


Globe, seems 10 strengthen the opinion among
our friends thar the old dictatorisl clique, nov
reduced TO half score Of aspiring politi
Clans, have actually determined 10 oppose tn,
next Administration unless II is controlled by
them. Mr.. Polk must submit TO their diclatiol
or incur their opposition. He must not only be
governed by their advice as TO his own appoint
menls, but he must be governed by their feel
ings Of hostility against the appointments oil
MIR. Tyler.
The many appointments confirmed by the
Senate one day last week, il may be proper
to say, have not been made by Presi.
dent Tyler lately. Mos, Of them we believe
were made months ago, during the recess, and
before the Presidential contest Was decided
Who they are We know not. We believe there
is not a Madisonior In the list, and II the
Globe could compel President Polk TO cot of
all their heads, we would lose neither kindred
nor patron. They are all Democrats, and
friends of Mr.. Polk. Some, we are told, are
Globe men bat thai makes no difference they
were not dictated in, and they must submit 10
be kicked out.
We copy the following from the Globes ar
lcle: ~
aAnd then, il the idea should get abroad that any
Of the persons appointed To office under the pre-
sent suspicious circumstances, were those who Ia
vored the advancement Of MIR. Tyler himself, or his
counsellor aud heart hostile to the candidate
whom the majority Of our counrymen cast their
suffrage il would certainly produce state Of feel
ing anything but .atsfAclory to the mass o the CON-
muni,y."
None of the friends Of Mr.. Tyler or Mr.. Cal
houn ..were at heart hostile" to Mr.. Polk.
But, according to the Globe, Mr.. Folks con-
duct will no, be satisfactory to the mass Of
The community,"if he suffers any friend Of Mr..
Tyler or Of Mr.. Calhoun TO remain in office.
The Globe viii have none but Clique men in.
The Globe concludes as follows:
"We know none Of them intimately; but we know
that the lime and circumstances connected with the
making OF these removals and appointments we'll
calculated to give dissatisfaction to both the great
parties IN this country, and to the administration
which is now Immediately to DC charged with the
conduct Of public AFFAIR.""
To come to the point at once, the Globe
clique are no doubt making preparations to raise
the Bouscry of ''ueason," ''per6dy, &c., against
Mr.. Polk, provided he does not remove every
friend of this Administration from office!
We believe thar Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr..
Clay, have each more friends in office than MIR.
Tyler In this city they have ten to one.
N. B. Since writing the above, we have re-
ceiyed the following letter from Nashville, and
have the permission of The writer, (who is re-
sponsible man, in P. S., to "pnntit." We
choose TO amer ii 10 this article, and adopt 1t
rs portion OF our reply to the attack Of the
Globe:
NASHVILLE, (Teun.) Jan. IL, I64s.
MY DEAR SIR:
still perceive you have rumors upon rumors, in
the Metropolis and that the leterwriters, and po-
lca spectators of all classes and elques will have
every thing arranged for President Polk to 90 on and
administer the affairs of Government soon as he
gets to Washington city. hope all the Cabinet off,
GERS which they have appointed for him, will be in at
tendance, that there will be no delay whatever
presume each clique has selected their Cabinet, and
that the President elect will have to take each in
turn. How much men are troubled in this world
with things that don't concern them! They little
speculatous about; yet they profess to know every
thing. From the slight knowledge I have of him,
and from his conversation feel inclined to re-assert
what said in my last letter: that in carrying out
the principles of the Democratic party he will act
independently of all cliques and pursue cal
culated to benefit the whole American people. He
will recognise no dlctaton, except the sovereign will
Of that people. He will go to Washington uncom-
mitted in any way TO any soul living. His Cabinet
will be composed of men like himself who will act
independently and hones,ly and the patronage that
comes within his jurisdiction will be taken from none
who are ,oorthy given to any but tho deserping"
do not believe there is man living who knows
at this time who will compose his Cabinet but can
those who presume TO knoic, that his selection
will be made by his own superior judgment, and with
out being influenced by the counsel recommendation,
request DEMAND Of any clique or faction, or any
other set of scfstyled presumptuous politicians who
may, through threats or any other contrivanccs
strive to bias his will in their favor.
Such will not be the course pursued by James X
Polk for whoever knows the man, knows others dicta
ton he despiscs. The People have had sufficient
confidence in him to select him for their Chief Ma
gi,,raie; and with that confidence in administering
tho affairs of the Government, he will, like MIR. Ty
Ter, act for their especial benefit.
