SENATOR HAYWOOD AND THE OR F.

Since the delivery of his speech, portion Of the
Democratic Senators, and one Of the Democratic
presses in Washington, have denounced him at
once, and If the contemplate inuendo attributed
to him below IN the brief abstract which we take
from the Columbia Fountain is true. in REGARD 10
Mr.TyIer and the Tyler Convention, we look up,n
him as unworthy even the scorn Of the good and
true. We have repeatedly said, that we do not
blame The wings for abusing John Tyler and his
friends, for they were deceived in his stubborn
republican principles, but we cannot hold connie
nance with any protesting democrat who attempts
to disparage the exalted virtue Of that distinguish
ed man, who gave life, being, and victory to the
democratic party, when it had been trampled in
the dust and was annihllated politically and when
its spirit found temple in no other bosoms than
those Of John Tyler and his friends Thank
God, we were one Of that band, and we shall
cherish the fact that we were permitted to be The
friend Of that great man, as the proudest level in
our democratic faith. II was the Tyler Coover-

NoTE.-The message referred tn in tho
above letter was delivered to Mr.. Richie about
8 O'Clock p. m, on Tuesday, the 24th FEBRUARY.
One portion of the message was inadvertently
omitted IN the above letter tina; portion specified
two hundred yards above the cotton factory as
the precise place at which Mr.. Peasants would
be al sunrise. The letter was delivered to the
gentlemen who bore Mr.. Peasants Message at 9
O'Clock p. m. of the same day. His reply was
that he was not authorized to take any other ac-
ton In the matter than that already performed in
the delivery of Mr.. Peasants message. and that
he believed it hopeless for Mr. Richie to EXPECT
any other reply.
For the purpose of correcting other mesrepre
sensations, 1t may be proper To- add that no occur

friends OF either party considered as manfesling
undue advantage on either side that Mr.. r.
