DEAR SIR: There is no act of any department of
the government, since the year thousand eight hun
dred that has caused more deep feeling, anguish and
greet the democratic party than the late act of the Sem
ate expeng you from the privileged seat in that body
precedened since the enactment OF the alien and
sedton laws speak at least adUtSedty the opinion Of
the uhole democratic party of Indiana have not heard
adissenting this subject 1t is miserable and
frivolous pretence to attach moral degradation to your
self and your colleague; when in truth and fact il is in
tended vital attack upon the Executive of the ma
ton 1t is not the editors of the Union but the Pres
dent of the United States, against whom the blow is
aimed Too cowardy and dastardly to strike the blow
where it was intended-you are the victim. That the
wings should reioice-shoud applaud the act, is not
singular; democratic press, the organ OF the party,
is degra1ed-s thrust out of the Senate without hear
ng-withou an opportunity allowed the meanest felon
in courts of justice, of being heard either by himself
OF counsel But dEt tn Brute, that John c. Calhoun-the
man whom the democracy of the west-the true con-
sentative democracy of the Union-who have stood
as rampant around him and his southern friends,

acting and voting with him against the acts,
direct and indirect which his present supporters aders and
abettors using TO destroy him and the peculiar IN
stituions" to which he and they attached say

by aury OF the countyand produce the proof that there
is nota federal print represented by its reporter In the
Senate from the Intelligencer down. but what daily
and his administration, more abusive, more vulgar,
coarse, and false IN every particular than VndicaOr
wrote, could WRITE if he should write for
century; yet all this fair, all is fair in politics
with Mr.. Calhoun and his new allies Yet there is no
punishment for them, Oh no. They are free from all
responsibility What gives the editors of the intelligent
the right of daily abusing the President, it does
and yet Furnishes you for fair, and just although adj
scnators-pubshed not editoriay, but as communica
ton Is there any difference in the medicine, because the

You have taken the true course: defy them, one and
