take away his chariicter for.; unspotted De.
mor cy Tould leave him poor indeed. . We
retract, therefore the imputation of our mis-
taken . Assistant, and pronounce Mr. Ritchie
the model, the paragon, the Chevalier Bayard
of Democracy. V hen it was Democratic to
assail Gen. Jackson as utterly unfit for Civil
or Political trust, no man assailed him more
fiercely than Thomas Ritchio.' . But uhen, a
few", years thereafter, it became. Democratic
to commend GenJackson as the paragon of
statesmanship i and' trustworthiness, no man
.'-'-" -j
laid it on thicker than Thomas Ht'xhie 1 1 . In
1823,(it was, Democratic to advocate. One
Term only for a President, nnd Mr.. Ritchie
was very earncsi' fur that. In' 1836 and
1840, it was Democratic to support a Presi
dent for a Second term, qnd Mr Ritchie did
his utmost on Atfi. siaVV TnO-bd, it -.wax
Democratic to advocate the' Nullify ing doc
trines 'of Calhoun nnd, Ilaync, and declare
them the very Counterpart of "the Resolu
tionsof.'93," and Mr. Ritchie did, this very
thoroughly.. In 1832-3f it .as Democratic to
condemn Nullification vas utterjy. inconsistent
with orthodox Democracy, : and Mr.- Ritchie
