The Daily Madisonian

FOR THE MADISONIAN.

Mr. Jones: Having been reared in the school of Jeffersonian Democracy, and ever been a firm supporter of the doctrines of that pure patriot, as well as the administrations of Jackson, Van Buren and Tyler, I shall exercise the right to think and judge for myself in the choice of candidate for the next Presidency in spite of the dictation of Mr. Blair and his cunning allies. In so doing, I but exercise those rights guaranteed by the Constitution to the people, and always acceded to by the Democratic party. even should the immaculate Globe bestow its political venom on my devoted head, and read me "out of the party" as it has attempted to do with many old Jeffersonians who were engaged battling in the cause of Democracy when Mr. Blair was the friend and champion of Mr. Clay.

The Globe, for the last eighteen months, instead of supporting the Democratic cause which it professes to advocate, by argument and truth, the weapons of Democracy, has been assailing most of the prominent men of the party, because they would not bow in humble submission to the dictator's will—men who have always been true to their trusts—many of them old and tried servants—men who have grown gray in the service of their country—and who have spent their talents and fortunes on the cause, while F. P. Blair has been reaping the spoils of the Government printing. The journal which has been fostered and nourished by the Democratic party from its commencement—a journal which was the acknowledged organ of the party—has been engaged in a relentless warfare on its benefactors, in rending asunder the ties that bound them together, by imputing to them base motives and sinister objects—in arraying one section of the country against another—in sowing the seeds of discord—indeed, in a word, in bestowing its anathemas upon all who did not think with its editor and yield their preferences to advance his particular interests. Witness the many chaste and classic epithets indulged in by Mr. Blair in speaking of President Tyler and the prominent men of his Administration—billingsgate which has always characterized the Federal press since the days of Alexander Hamilton—the father of the principles—if any they have—now advocated by the Clay whig.

The Globe has, until the last few months, advocated the doctrine of "union, harmony, self-denial, concession—every thing for the cause, nothing for men." Has not Mr. Blair, instead of carrying out that Democratic sentiment, for which he pretended to battle, been busily engaged in advocating the reverse? Where are the concessions which he formerly advised his readers to make? Where his efforts at "union and harmony?" Where his "self denial?" Out upon such sycophancy. Has he not driven—ay, driven, some of the best Democrats from the party by his low and dirty assaults? In fine, has not the Globe, for the last eighteen months, been an open enemy to all attempts by the Democracy at "union" and organization? The abuse which it has heaped upon President Tyler, instead of having the effect intended, will recoil upon its own head. Has not Mr. Tyler proven himself worthy of the confidence of the People by his manly firmness in vetoing Mr. Clay's two Bank bills, and thereby saving the country from the curse of a moneyed aristocracy? Mr. Tyler has ever been the avowed enemy of the Banking power as well as a consistent statesman. Let those who doubt it, consult his speeches delivered while in the Legislature of his native State, and when in the Senate of the United States. The principles which are advocated by the Democratic party are the same which Mr. Tyler has so nobly sustained.

The refusal of the Globe to abide by the decision of the National Convention—its dictatorial course of conduct—and its delight in creating dissensions and wrangling in the Democratic ranks, have clearly proven that its editor was not worthy to be trusted with the mantle of Democracy. Mr. Blair's nefarious conduct has drawn down upon him the scorn and contempt of the leading Democratic presses in the country. They have clearly proven him unworthy the name of Republican, and have successfully, by proof, as strong as holy writ, "read him out of the party." From all appearances, it would seem that the Globe and Clay presses are about running in "cahoots," (as we Western folks say,) for the Congressional printing. With F. P. Blair, the ruling passion is self-interest. He has proven, by his unprincipled manoeuvres, that, to gain his selfish ends, he would sacrifice either the political or private character of the best man in the nation.
