these, sixteen only icaehed the land—five having

THE WASHINGTON REFORMER, of 1837,
vs.
TI1E WASHINGTON CHRONICLE, of\838.
[Both edited by II. K. Cralle, Esq. ]
We happened, a few Jays ago, to lay our hands
mi a No. of the “ Washington Reformer,” dated
May 31st, 1837—and we were absolutely astonished,
when we compared the mne of its editorials with
those which now appear, from the pen of the same
gentle*nan, in the pages of the W ashington Chroni
cle. Aware, as we were, that of all the opponents
ol the present administration, not one had been more
unrelenting and bitter iri his hostility than that gen
tleman,—for whom, by I he way, wc entertain the
highest personal respect, confident that his change
ol opinion is attributable to any other than corrupt
motives,—we were yet not prepared for such ran
corous denunciation and such unsparing invective,
as wc found displayed before us in that paper. As
it is sometimes uselul to hold t mirror up to one
who scciiim to have loigotten “ wh.it manner of man
he was,” W3 hope our fiiend ol the Chronicle will
not think we deal too hardly with him if we call his
attention to a catalogue and brief description of the
editorial articles which appeared in the Reformer, of
the 31st May, 1837.
L 1’lie leading article is headed “Corruptions of
the Administration ;’’ and is devoted io an exposure
ol the course pursued by the ” Royalist" majority
ol the Committee ol Investigation, appointed under
Mr. Wise’s celebrated resolution ol enquiry into
abuses alleged by him to exist in the administration
ol the government. And never have we read a more
glow ing pourtiay al of the base means by which that
investigation was stilled,—stilled, as the Reformer
declares, by the “ petjury and corruption of the
Royalist” majority of the Committee: Never have
we seen more indignant feeling manifested, at the
escape ol the guilty, thus screened by the conduct
ol unprincipled partisans, Irom the punishment <1 tie
lo their offences against Patrioti>m and Morals !—
And yet, with all these “Corruptions” uuatoued
for, and unciadicated from our political system,—
what do wt* behold 1 The editor of the Reformer, now
the editor of the Chronicle, stands forth the cham
pion of the men by whom they were pci petrated—a
main pillar of the administration, which, by his own
show mg. is guilty of enormities that it dare not expose
, to public scrutiny ! ! And all this because he happens
to concur with it in opinion that the Sub-Treasury
is the best financial system which it ( an adopt—a
mere hypothesis, at best; which expeiiencc may
demonstrate to he unsound anti pernicious, as the
same great teacher has so often done heretofore in
reference to “Experiments,” brought forward with
equal boldness, and avouched with equal confidence !
The next editorial article in the Reformer, is
headed “ Effrontery !” ami is devoted to a criticism
upon a letter of Senator Silas Wright of N. V. to a
portion of the people ol iJurhiigtoii, Vermont, by
whom that distinguished mouth piece of the ad
I ministration had been invited to partake of a public
dinner. Mr. WTight having talked much of “ democ
racy” in his letter, (as is the habit of those who seek
to gull the people by plastering unpalatable in°a
I sines with a popular name,) the Reformer thus rc
i bakes him : ” It appears to us to require something
moic than ordinary audacity for these advocates ni
Royal prerogative and power to prate about 4 demo
cratic principles;’ but it has ever been thus: those
i who propose to deceive the people must of course
play upon their prejudices.”—And now, forsooth,
I the late editor of the Reformer is hand and glove
1 with Senator Wright, and echoes all his cant about
| 44democracy,” while he. upholds "these, advocates
! of Royal prerogative and power”! How does the
editor of the Chronicle account for this sudden
transformation? Has the advocacy of the Sub
| Treasury scheme atoned for all past oll'ences ?
Has it obliterated the Leopard’s spots, and washed
1 the ;F.thinpiau white ?
3. Tho third editorial of the Reformer exhibits the
! 44 Magic of Power”—excoriating some of the “ Roy
j alist” presses for their sycophancy. “ This tran
scendency of servility,” (says the Reformer,) 44 was
reserved for our modern J ckson-Van Rnren-Demo
cratic- Republicans”—of whom die imlilcr of this
| sneer is now amongst the foremost !
4. The fourth article abuses the administration for
, their Currency experiments, and especially their
| “ idle and ridiculous specif, circulars." It denounces
the administration as a set of“ blunderers and block
heads,” not one of whom was “ fit for the crisis.”
< >f Mr. Viin Horen, it said, ** he is utterly imbecile,
ignorant, and knows not what to do, or where to
nun; he ought to resign and go home.” It declar
ed that the ” whole concern would go by the board,
and be allowed to concoct their petty schemes on
some more confuted theatre of action, where their
blunders will not so deeply affect the interests of
j the country and that there never was ** such an
| exhibition of madness and folly,” as “ a Treasury of
I Hank credits m the hands of 4U,00l) office-holders” !
| And now what do we see? The editor of the
Chronicle going against a repeal of the Specie Cir
cular—leagued with these “ blunderers and block
heads,” wim, he seems to suppose, are admirably
fitted for the crisis—of course believing that Mr.
V an Huron, instead ol being “ imbecile and igno
rant,” is a wise and sagacious statesman, and should
I remaiu where lie is, instead ol going home,—bene*
j fimng bis country by his ability, instead of prostra -
! mfi ds interests by Ins blunders ! And although “ a
! Treasury of hank credits in the hands of 10,000
office-holders,” may bo madness, yet a Treasury ol

its successor, the Chronicle, is now ringing the ' l
ges on the same worn-out tune. In re, n ,I”
lemark of the Kncpiirer, "If we are to har'c
rr National llank, give us one under a cliHete•
ganization," the Reformer broke out in the follow ^
indignant strain: '"S

ren and the Kitchen Cabinet at the head of ,, i

could have supposed that the writer ol this par:,

brief space of twelve months,—fighting under i|,u
banners of “ our Royal Master,” jo,dug m tbe elm
rus ul the " Renton, ,u scribblers," against " Rank
nought aristocrats,” and in favor ol the humbug ol ,»
metallic currency ? Yet it is even to. How short
sighted is the most gilied ot our race! Had the
lAtlU Magician revealed to the editor of the AV/or
nier, on the 31st of May, 1$J7, (lie “ position” w Inch,
as editor of the Chronicled^ would occupy on theUIst
of May, 18-38, he would have spurned the prophetic
revelation with indignant scout. II e ran hardly be
lieve the evidence of our own senses: We should
ccttainly have been incredulous lu the voice of pro
phecy.
6. The sixth aitii lr hi the editorial department of
the Reformer has tUis caption: “ The nerl
dent" and is designed to prevent a division in tho
WHIG ranks, then seemingly tlircatened by tie
premature discussion of the rival pretensions of
Webst cr. Clay and Harrison. Listen to what our
* late ally,” w ho now pretends that he never was a
Whigi s.iiil in May, lw37 :
“ We would earnestly and calmly call upon I'.h
lots friendly to a reform of existing abuses, to pause
and reflect before they proceed I’mtlier. The dilfiu
cut portions of the country which furnish, whan
combined, the strength of the opposition, and upon
which the hopes ol the Reformers aie found
ed, have? their peculiar personal preferences as to tiro
next I* re-id e nf. (> ue port ion pit ft r< (Jen. Hal rison—
another Mr. Clay—another Judge White—another
Mr. Webster, and another (and we readily admit we
belong to this) Mr. (? ilhouti. I low then docs it bc
I come a parly to act under suc h circumstance*?
Were the times peaceful and quiet—were the skv
i dear ami the waves at rest, w e might indulge the in
quiry;—but tic storm is upon us, and the barque ul
State, guided by incompetent hands, is rushing fear
fully upon the rocks. — Is this the time, then, to lm
, disputing as to who shall occupy the quarter-deck
hereafter ! No, no. The voice of reason and path
otism, iV the strong sense of mutual danger, demand
that all hands should first unite to save the slup
from foundering. The s duty and security of each
J and of all require that every mail should /iist put
ilns hand to this work. Let us save the disman
tled and leaking vessel first ;—and when, by uni
j led efforts, we have rescued her from her present
dangerous position, and are again riming securely
before the w ind, it will be time enough to inquire
who sha'I take the place of the present ignorant
and incompetent commanders.”
Is there, in this par 'graph, any thing to lead the
| reader to suppose, that, in less than twelve in mtli.*,
! the writer of it would he denouncing Mr. ( 'lay as a
Hank-man and an Abolitionist—and Mr. Webster,
as dangerously latitudinous in the construction of the
constitut ion, vV an Abolitionist likew ise ? Where now
are the “ hopes of the Reformers” ! Why, il the wri
ter of the foregoing paragraph wt re now to give us ad
vico it would be to perpetuate. “ existing abuses,” in
1 stead of reforming them, and to uphold the “ ignorant
! a id competent commanders,” by whom the barque at
I State had been plunged amidst breakers and quick
I sands! He must excuse us, however, it we prelev
another pilo(*-otw who knows the channel too well
| to«chatige his course thus suddenly, in tin- midst of .*
raging storm—running directly upon a point, where*
j but a moment ago, he told us that we were in danger
of being stranded or engulphed.
7. The seventh of the Reformer's editorials is de
voted to “ the Kitchen Cabinet,” whom it excoriat
ed in its usual style of uncompromising severity, as
“despicable sans culottes," with whom “honorable
i and high-minded men could not consult.” In rr
f fence to Mr. Van Huron and Ins confidential auvi
sets, the Reformer quotes the following line* ot
the indignant satirist, which it said might be applied
with equal justice to our President as to the flnmU
minister, Walpole:
“ l.o! where he stands, amidst tiro servile crew,—
“ \<> hlu-dies stain his cheek with •’riinson line ,
u While dire corruption all around In spreuds,
“ \nd cvi rv ductile conscience captive leads ;
“ Bribed by bis boons, behold the remit hand

brief a space, he wrote such bitter things.

which wc have no loom to notice at length this nun
