THE MADISONIAN. WASHINGTON CITY. S' BATCRDAY, NOVEMBER 12, si jo In thou things which are essential let tiui til a nun essentials, liberty; anu in all sl things THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER ANU THE GLOBE 11 If any man will seriously set himself down 11 of the course of these two vv worthies, will iiad food for reflection and amusement. A few days ago, the Intelligencer could not Jiud room in its columns for Mr. 1 Spencer's able letter in vindication of the Pre- 1 sidenc.

It was too too much space. But a day or two here 1 comes out the interminable letter of poor old J. Q. Ada us, attacking the President, and the whole South, and flashing a firebrand in the face of the country, and the Intelligencer sur- 1 renders to it two successive its advertising columns. Compare with this, the 1 course of the Globe, at the same time.

While the Intelligencer refused to permit us readers to see the Secretary's letter, his good brother of the Globe violently assails the Secretary, and ascribta to him feelings and sentiments which he neither nor entertained. The Intelligencer may be regarded as saying to the Globe "Good brother, assail the Secrelary run and the Administration as 7 please, we will lake care to keep from the pubJie eye bis letter, and therefore you may vilily and misrepresent as you will, our readers shall be none of the wiser for it; but you may impose upon them to your heart's content." The Globe most joyously seizes on tlii- permission, and lays about him in most furious style. The same kind and lair dealing is exhibited in the yesterday's papers. The Globe altick-. the Administration lor not being Democratic enough: the Intelligencer dt dares it to be, in substance, altogether Democratic, because it appoints Democrats to office.

So they go. Thus do deadly political enemies unite in making war upon the Administration. Be patient, good patient. The Executive will neither be prevented from pursuing true Re publican measures by the denunciations of the Globe, nor be led into a course of proscription of its friends, because they cp-operated with the Whig party in 1840, by the sneers of the Intelligencer. The President will neither take counsel from the one nor the other, but leave litem in the same truckle-bed together, with full knowledge that such factiouists cannot long Inside by side with each other, without soon realizing the tale of the Kilkenny when, we wish tliera most quiet slumbers.

THE GLOBE-THE ADMINISTRATION. We presume the Globe will not dare to im peach the Democracy of the old established and influential journal from which the subjoined article is copied. It was established among the People, before any of us were born, and has been sustained by the 44 Green Mountain Boys' ever since. It has never boxed the political compass. It is the same now that it was in the days of Washington.

And what does it say ol From the Vermont GaxtUc. We commence the publication u. spencer's letter in defence of the Administration in the Ga; zelte of this week, and shall conclude it in our next. it is certainly one of the ablest and best written documents which has as yet appeared, and, what is better, it is (rue to the letter. It is the duty of every true Democrat to extend a hearty and cordial support to President Tyler and his administration, in its Democratic course and measures, no matter what h.s former prejudices and partialities may have been.

John Tyler we believe to be a true disciple of Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic principles set forth in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of'98. His vetoes show that he does not lack the oral courage and honesty to avow them under the most em1 barrassing circumstances, and in the face of obstacles, which required no little courage and firmness of principle to encounter; but nobly has he met them all. Let, then, the Democracy uphold his arms with no lukewarm and half-way support, but with a full determination to accord to him strict justice for his stern, uncompromising Democratic integrity. Let no one fail in giving iMr. Spencar's letter a close and candid perusal.

THE GLOBE FORGETTING ITS GLASS HOUSE. It is surprising that it did not occur to the official, that it owed its being, and its patrons their stations, to the Bank of the United I It is nut surprising. The President has had I noihinii more to do with ti Unittd Slates Bunk than the nut hall a-. much. We paid our own money for our establishment, and had no more assistance fiom the Bank than we had from Mr.

Weaver, superintendent of the pi inting of the Census. Perhaps meant the Intelligencer. From Hit Albany Ertning Journal.

The olher day we intimated that the Intel'i- ncer would likely, ere long, to leave the nking ship of Mr. Clay. The next day that urnal copied an encouraging Clay artuie from te Ohio Stale Journal, uud exhorted its Clay 1 ib-cribers and patrons not to despond Thus a hi'e it is smiling and bowing to its ultra tend-, who have been making appropria- ons to keep it alive, and seeing thai they will I longer be able to maintain it, the sage editor, ith the sang of a pickpocket, is even i ow, while smiling and encouraging his Clay iatrons, holding his hut out behind for the rumbs that may full fioin the leader ichuse I ause he vill espouse as soon as Clay is strau- I 'led.

Mr. Clay lias given an undivided support to the Intelligencer, and it is tnorilying, even to his liberal enemies, to see that taper tricking him in his old age The Intelligencer will have an eye to the main chance." If incarnate devils were power, the editor would se'k, sub rosu, to treat with them! Imagine an American paper in the ay of the Biitish Government? would it nut na urally prefer a certain position, to the pultry half cuglis recrivtd from the friends of the ad? whom it ustensibiy suj)ports Sovereigns are best. The Intelligencer may go, hat and all, to the nominee of the Whig National But we warn it of the const quences The one it desert-.

is not, asweaieled tobtlieve, wanting hi vindictiver.ess. The Intell genet mu-t very soon define its position." It will be dilli cull for it to uiiikt' its peace with the ihat tnade it a paper. Humble professions and gracious smiles, will hardly avail against its apparent equivocal acts. It has been seen holding the hot out behind. It must know that its two matters can no more be united in the bonds of amity, than two porcupines can embrace without stabbing each other.

The Intelligencer professes to be friendly to Mr. Clay. 7'he Intelligencer has been, ever and anon, in the pay of the enemy We defy any man to contradict this assertion. Would not such conduct, in a well regulated army, cause an officer to be cashiered and drummed out of camp We do not write thus in a revengeful spiritIt is true the Intelligencer has never lost an opportunity to aim a blow at us, and we are thankful our protecting star that none of them proved we are incited solely by the eternal principles of justice, to qiake this exposure of political hypocrisy. If we had a brother capable of political duplicity and prevarication, we would denounce hitjp In what we have said of the Intelligencer, we have not designed or desired to strike incidentally or indirectly at any body else.

Wt blatne no one else nor shall we harbor resent ment for the Intelligencer itself, provided it re cants its errors and will be honest hereafter Let it come out boldly and fully for the Admin istration. There is no sin in charges brough against him. He is a true Republican, honest uptight and independent.

Withdraw the offensive epithets applied to Mr. Webster, a few weeks since. We all know that the experienced editoi was absent at the time, and that he cpologisrd in advance for what, of a foolish nature, might appear during his absence. Disclaim them now, after the fact. Repent and reform.

From the Y. Standard. THE RESULT. The result of the election, it is believed, has surprised no one. The Whigs, if they had done justice to themselves and told the truth in advance, would have avowed, ere they engaged in the contest, that they had not a hope of success.

They have not had any confidence in themselves, or cause, for many orul vnl ihov I I l. fore they went into the election, that they were sure of success. Ily keeping up a false cry, and holding out false lights they led many a good to speak in the metaphorical language of the Whig grandiloquent orators, On to disgrace and assured destruction." The contest, was not a very furious one. The Democracy walked over the field at pleasure, and made conquests whenever they thought proper. The Whig presses of this city, which were for a week or two surchaged with magniloquent bragadocia yesterday, at early dawn, were found in a chop fallen condition, hopeless and heartless.

To the credit of their candor, however, be it said, they yielded with a commendable degree of grace. The N. V. Exp ess thus delivered itself: We acknowledge defeat, and submit with all due deference to the will of the majority. We have no ex uses to offer for defeat, and none are necessary.

A large bo ly of the Whigs have been lookers-on in the contest than actors two or three thousand of such men have not voted. With no increase of vote on the part of the Locofocos we are defeated, and by a majority which, from present appearances, promises to be about twenty-five hundred. "This is bad news for the city, and we fear it fo cshadows the intelligence are to receive from the country." The Courier and Enquier yielded quite complacently alter the following manner "We give the returns as far as received below, and the result is any thing but fav, ruble to the triumph of hig principles. From all appearances, we have been as thorougnly beaten throughout the State as in this city and we do not perceive as yet, that we have any apology to offer for our defeat but a want of voters. The result may be more favorable to the Whig cause than we at present imagine; and if so, we shall sincerely rejoice that the people are not so regardless of their best interests as we have too good reason to suppose.

But be the result what it may, I principles never chance; and we shall be found steady in the advocacy ol big principles, and of the cause of the great Western Statesman, ho is so thoroughly identified with them. The great contest of 1844 can alone determine hether the people of the United States are or are not as devotedly attached to them as they were in 1B40." The Courier and Enquirer, it will be perceived, consoles itself with a flourish of trumpets, and is satisfied with the reflection that "principles never change and with the assurance that it will be found uteadily advocating "the cause of the great Western Statesman." It would be an act of kindness in the Courier and Enquirer, if, whilst it prates about it would oblige the world by informing it what the of the higs arc. If Ihey consist in the love of being beaten again and again, then it must be confessed that they have triumphed in this instance, and have not changed. The election as an important one, inasmuch as all the "principles'' and schemes for which the higs have contended, were through it presented directly to the people for their derision. The people voted directly on principles and schemes, and the result tells in a language not to be perverted or misinterpreted, that they are diametrically opposed to the whole of, them RESOLUTIONS FROM NEWBURYPORT- 1 The mad conduct of the disorguntzers id and ut of Congress meets with no sympathy lioui le independent electors in Massachusetts.

Mr. Cudiing's constiiui nta ure de- lervingof fume; and their grateful attach re 11 retirt sen ta 11 ve ennoble llietn )elves: On the 27th ultimo, the day before Mr Cushirg left his residence in Newburyport, us we are informj) the Herald newspaper of that place, a numerous meeting of electors of Newbury port and vicinity, friendly to the Hon Caleb Cushing and the national Administration, waS held at Market Hall, when Moses Newell, Exp acted as President, Charles T. James and Nathan Folkinsbee, Esq-.

Vice Presidents, and J. II. Boardmen and Edward E. Wood, Secretaries. After the meeting had been organized a committee of live as chosen to prepare resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, who retired for that purpose, when another committee was appointed to wait on Hon.

Mr. Cushing, and request his attendance. The committee to prepare resolutions reported the follow ing for the consideration of the meeting: Resolved, That the peculiarity in the i xi-ting administration of the Geneiul being the first occasion in which, by the decease of the Pre sidenl of the United State-, the functions of that office have devolved on the ice Pre-idcut, unit tie chair of Chief Magistrate is thus filled by one ho does not 1 unite with Ins constitutional power the incidental I power of the head of a political a condition of things which claims the deepest inte- rest and calls for the utmu-t candor and mod ration of -pint from all the friends of the Constitution and the Union. Resolved. That in the new and difficult stances by which the actual President of the United States has been surrounded, he has endeavored, in I our opinion, to deport conscientiously and honorably his purposes have been just and patriotic, and his measures wise and proper; and his Adminis- (ration, able as it has in fact been, would have been still more eminently prosperous and happy, if he had been met and sustained in a correspondent spirit ou the part of Congress.

Resolved, That in the conduct of foreign negoti- I 1 a'ion, as we I as in domestic affairs, the hi-tory of the I eighteen months of the present Administration, v. hen its acts are considered upon their merits, and free from the false coloring of extravagant party obloquy, shows that the President and his Cabinet have enti- tied themselves to the applause and gratitude of the people of the United States. Resolved. That, with the exception of the qucs- tion as to a National Hank, and the disti ibutiuu of the proceeds of the Public Lands, all the other ob- lections which have been made to the course of the i President, are, mere partisan objections, which are of no weight iri themselves, and do not toueh the general interests of the country, and are exaggera- ted into false consequences by partisan orators and presses, for the purpose of unjustly prejudicing the public mind against the Admini tration. Resolved, That the idea of a National Bank is now an "obsolete idea;" that if either of the bills of the Snt session of the present Ooognw, for the establishment of an incorporated Fisral Agent, had become a law, the stock would not have been sub- I'ihoU tin.I mi benefit would have ensued 1 I from it; that a great majority of the people of the 1 United States are, either front constitutional scruples, i apprehension of the undue power a National I Hank would possess, or front disastrous experience of I the mismanagement and corruptions of the late U.

States Bank, opposed to the incorporation of another; i and that therefore the veto of those bills by the President has proved to be in accofdance with the public will as well as the public good. Resolved, That public lands are the property of the United States; that the separate States have no more separate interest in those lands than they I have in any other natjonal property that whatever I there was a surplus of money frTIeral'Trea- sury, those considerations do not apply when there is a public deficit that in such circumstancvs, whatever is taken from the Treasury for dist ihution, must be supplied by additional taxes; that it is unwise and contrary to the spirit if not the letter of the Consti- tution, and subversive of the true relations of the States to the federal Government, to use the tax machinery of the latter for the purpose of obtaining i money to distribute among the seve al States; and that, therefore, ihe President was justified in refusing, by his vetoes of last session, to concur with Congress in repealing the provision of the Distribution Act, which that Congre-s had itself so recently enacted. Resolved, That we are devotedly attached to the Constitution of these United States that we re pud ii ate all empirical changes ir. that sacred inrtrument; I uiiu null itxnj ICUI UUUIC UliU CUIKH'IIIN INC I attempts to destroy tlie balance of powers in the Go- I vernnient as framed by our fathers, and thus to break I down the Government itself, by abolishing the sus- I pensive powers of the President in the enactment of laws, and in other respects transferring to Congress i the necessary functions of the Executive; thus build- ing up a power of supreme and unchecked party des- i potism in Congress, in the place of the present happy and wisely constituted Government. Resolved, That we disapprove of the proceedings of the late State Convention assembled at Boston, in its I having plunged the State into a premature and pernicious struggle for the Presidency, to which the public welfare and peace are sacriticcd and in its having causelessly and unjustly denounced and undertaken to proscribe politically the President of the United States.

Resolved, That wc heartily approve the spirit of the views expressed in the late speech of the Honorable Daniel Webster, and the letter of the Honorable John C. Spenrer, in defence of the commend them for postponing the claims of party to the public interests and the honor of the country. The meeting was then addressed in support of the resolutions, by Mr. Gushing, whose remark-, it cannot he necessary to say, were distinguished for their eloquence, manliness, and energy. They will be publi-hed in a few days.

The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. Mr. Gushing having retired, the following resolution was submitted by L. Le Breton, which was ree ived by deafening cheers and passed by acclama- tion: Resolved, That we heartily reromniend the course pursued by our Heprcsentativc in Congress, the Hon- orable Caleb Gushing, and that by his devotion to 1 the interests of his constituents, and by his ellicient -upporl of measures calculated to promote the best good of the country, he has fully justified the confi- dencc we have reposed in him, and is entitled to our 1 unqualified approbation. The necessary committees were then selected and 1 organized; and all things made ready for the 1 better polity of an important party, the influence of 1 which will overshadow the land.

Ol this there can 4 scarcely be a doubt, since that party has for its basis 1 the purest principles of Democracy. From the Jletruit Constitutional Pemoerat. 0 THE CORPOKAL'S GUARD. 1 This hand of who, unterrifird by the clamors of the Federal press, and the malignant assaults of the Clay partisans in Congress, stood manfully up in the dclencc of the President in his eflbrts to uphold the Constitution and laws of the country, 51 in opposition to the selfish designs and unholy pro- jects of the bankitcs, will soon be classed among their country's truest and noblest supporters. In the face of the bitterest opposition such as men seldom encounter, they held their own on the floor of Con- gress, dealing blow for blow most manfully, in spite l' of force of odds that would have overcome ai but Sl the strongest hcjds and the stoutest heads, they stood upon the broad latform of the position hich was impregnable against all the as- saults which faction and malice could invent.

They merit, and will receive, the enduring applause of the people for their noble and disinterested eflbrts io their behalf. We learn from the Norfolk Herald that the post office at that place was taken possession of on ps day night last by a robber, in the absence of the clerks, who either broke in at the back door, or had concealed himself in the hack room adjoining the of- fice. The money had all been removed Irom the drawers, and only a few dollars in change been of left on the ledges under the boxes, hich, with some of counterfeit coin in one of the tills, was taken. Two re single letters, which the robber had broken ope nc were found on the floor. Western Correspondence of the MadUouiau.

-till, there ate i uugh here, of the right soi of men, Itud iff in this new movement, and there will soon enough to follow them. Among those who called, ind took part in it, the late Exchequer meet ng s'hich a- he'd in this city on the evening of Thurs- ay last, were some of our very host and manufacturers, Whigs and Democrats nd although attempts huve been made, by its 1 nemies here, to excite party prejudice against it iy calling it a Tyler meeting," and characterizing ts objects as a sort of second-hand Whiggery," ret they cannot succeed, and the movement is bound lo go forward.

The secretaries aie one a dry good merchant, the other formerly, if not at present, a produce good citizens, and staunch business all the cries about second-hand Whiggcry" which its enemies here can raise, or gel others to raise, will not turn them aside from their present object. Of the two principal speakers, one is a manufacturer, the other a newspaper pub- i lislier; and both have manifested a zeal in the new movement, which shows that they are in earnest, that they feel themselves to le in the right, and that they will go ahead." 1 The Cabinet scheme of an Exchequer appears to have many more friends here, than either that reported in the Senate by Mr Tallmadge, or that introduced into the House by Gushing. A resolution, proposing to mcmoralizc Congress in favor of Mr.

Tullmadge's plan, was, after some considerable discussion, substituted by another, the mover and supporter of which, (a Whig of long standing,) is an earnest and thorough-going udvocatc of the Cabinet's or Mr- Tyler's plan, llis lution prcvaded by a large ma- jority, after be had discussed the several plans at some length, and shown, by comparison, the great superiority of that which be supported. An attempt was made at the meeting, by an ultra stumper, to give a party complexion to the consideration of the Exchequer scheme. This individual was very promptly met by a third speaker, and bis designs fiustratcd. An ultra-Clay Whig also endeavored to array party prejudice against thii.1S'1ptirporf the meeting, ty United States were a hu- at the feet of John Ty ler," but after fuming and fretting for a time, he was informed that his resolution had met with no so looked very sheepish, and took his seat amid a gentle serenade of hisses. Altogether, the meeting had much less of a parly complexion than any political meeting which 1 have attended here for a long 1 doubt not that, although it was not large, it will be productive of good, by turning the attention of our population i generally, towards the Exchequer scheme of the President and his Cabinet, and inducing investigation of its character, and examination of its merits.

This committee is to report to an adjourned meeting, which is to be held on Thursday evening next. 1 anticipate an excellent document from them, and shall endeavor to give you some account of it. 1 I shall write you again the morning following the meet- ing.

From the Moh.le The Vickshurg Sentinel states with confidence that a peisunal reconciliation has been brought about be- i twuen Gen. Jack-on and Mr. Culhou We liopo I this is true. Between two men of such generous na- tures, after the lap-eof six or seven jcars since they stood in violent opposition as public men, such personal ascerbities as prevent 0 tin in, in heal of political rivalries, iroiii iioing lull justice to each others must bo soothed if not entirely dissi- i paled. Mr.

Calhoun can no longer look upon the ve- leran hero, wailing in his retirement with pious resignation, for the approach ol that solemn hour, of which the shadow a ready begins to dun Ins vision, anil reverently discarding as lar as human Irailty can, the ussio; and resentments of his sterner man- tiood, as lit was uccu-t- meil to regard the resolute sliief ol a triumphant party with which he had had many warm uut unavailing struggles. And the 1 venerable ex-President, loaded with ears and honors, and in view of putting oil ol Ins mortal part, purging his mind if the grosser impulses which lie ol action, excitement, heal, strife and triumph, iiu-l have left there, does a hie justice to a gallant 1 idvcrsary, in exchanging forgiveness lor mutual im- irudences, nd bearing testimony lor each other lo he integrity with which each had pursued the pat It if conscience, although in stormy and perilous times hey had stood at the head ol nosldc columns. In ucli a reconciliation, there nied be no he- ween them of past conflicts of opinion, of opposite lews of public duty, of uncancelled differences of lolitical theories, or indeed any hing but merely that tlieir ancient friendship should have ever een interrupted. To mix questions of party, past ir to come, with such a reunion, would sulljf its mo- I al beauty. jl From Iht Y.

Patriot. MR. SPENCER'S LETTER. This is an able exposition and defence of the leadig measures of Mr. Tyler's administration.

It is ic most comprehensive arid satisfactory review that as yet been made by as have authority to speak. I furnishes evidence confirmation of the statements Messrs. Webster and Gushing in relation to the (insistency, sincerity, and manliness of the President those points of his i fficial conduct, wherein he as been most violently assailed. It will, with the latements of Messrs. Webster and Gushing, form uthen ic materials for the Historian, when he seeks ie sources of impartial information relative to the Ixecutive action on the Rank bills; while it reveals circumstance in cabinet history, known, until very eccntly, only to a few, and which places the conduct Mr.

Tyler in a truly disinterested and patriotic ight, where it is so difiicu't for statesmen possessing mwer to act in a disinterest" and patriotic manner. Vc allude to the fact that previous to returning the ecund Bank bill to ss with his objections, in ull view of the assaults to he made upon him, and ith the purpose of removing all cause of agitation, well as to secure himself against unjust iinputaions, the President submitted to bis then Cabinet, vbetber be should, in the then about 'o be ransmittcd to Congress, announce a resolution to reire from public lite at the expiration of the existing erm; and that against his doing so, all the members if the Cabinet, then present, protested, on the ground hat eh an annunciation would not have the effect to iroduce peace or quiet, but would only change the lirect on of faction that no one had a right to such a slop from him, as he had not been electid President, and no ligation existed that should nterposc any barrier between hint and a direct voto the people." This is ihe testimony of Mr. Spencer, and we mow of no circumstance in tlip history of power hat speaks more strongly in favor of political purity. from the Pittsburg Chronicle, 2.

He then discoverd that they were waiting for him at the foot of the iai(i stairway, and at once passed through another art of the Ik use, and succeeded in getting out, when discovered three men, one of whom as in the et of getting out of the window.

Captain Hart having preiiisly dropped one of Ins pistols, and having tiootharms, gave up the chase.

The other man, in the can time, had got to his feet and made oil ith niself. 'i'i fourth one succeeded in making his cape through the, front part of the house.
