" s"ohs' WaS u u 'mPossiuie ever To restrai,
them. At least we should judge so from III.
course Of that paper On no other ground "a,
we account for its impudent assertion, in s,vIiO.
the Alexandra Gszstte Ga Bank paper" II.
same epithet is daily applied to the National l.,
telligencer, the National Gazette. the New Yo,t
American. and the most respectable Journal, NJ
the county, SO that we have the consolation .,
being in good company. 1t is very true that, o,
casionaIIy, and very briefly, we have spoken in
favor Of the continuance Of the Bank of the Uni.
ted States-it is true we have expressed Our.
selves AZ decidedly in its favor, in preference IA
a Treasury scheme-it 10 true that, in COME.
quence Of the reports Of the Committees Of Coo.
sress, and the votes Of that body, we have pe,e,
hesitated about the removal Of the deposi,s--,ud
it is true that we have reprubated the interference
Of the Kitchen Cabinet in the concerns Of III,
Bank, and deprecated their continued assault.
upon its stability and credit. Further than ,hl.,
we have never gone; never intend 10 60. ",
are not the partisans of the Bank in anv one
sense. There are many things abou. large and
overwhelming monied institution, let it be con.
Quoted ever SO well, that we do not aJmire-,ha,
our republican principles do not permit US to ad
vocate. We desire, ever. to see the Bank mar
rowIy wstched-diIigently guarded. As took
occasion to say but the other day. with regard to
the Bank, we are as free to condemn as to 3D.
plsud, and we shatI not be behind any one in .S
posing whenever and wherever it may turn II,
power to the detrimen. or against the interested
the government or the people. As it is from tn.
candid and honest expression Of opiniun on tn.
part of Editors situated IS we are-hasiug no.
thing to hope from the Bank, and nothing to Tea,
indifferent alike to its smiles or its irowns-u..
yer seeking it's favors, nor dreaJing its disp.a.
sure-out Of its reaeh-beyond its power-th,.
the Globe and it, allies have most TO dread iii
no wonder that it should, in the face Of facts 10
be sure,-but that is nothing for the Glube,-
strive TO break the weight Of such opinions BY al.
ana s!anderous iUsi0uatiOns.
Bot again, the Globe chooses to quote our Cpl.
MONS as to =. results" TO which it 10 pleased 10
say, our "haired Of the President cannot blind
as" What right has the Globe to accuse Us Of
;" hatred" tow ards the Presldenti Is it because
Sc do not daily pay homage at the footstOO Of
power-because we are too proud to be mean. TOO
inuspehdent To erings too honest to tapn! Is
1t because we loa,h and despse the herd OF Gph
great n,en-tbe mushroom nobility-~ who dance
attendance at his palace and claim to be bis
favoritps, il not his keepers. II the President
or his friends make these things the tests Of ha
tired. we shall have to be set down, we acknow
ledge, as inveterate enemies. But it is not 50.
There is no such feeling in our bosom. Honest.
Iy and couscien,iOusIy opposed to bis election to
the Office which he fills, we resisted bis cleo.
ton by oil fair and honorable means. Called 10
the high station which he now holds BY the voice
Of the American people. we cbeeriusIy aequ'
esced in that decision and have followed his admr
nistration, approving where we could, censurIns
where we were forced, our public course unlsiu
ed BY . SINCE particle Of personal or official dis
like. We are not even the opponents Of Gen
Jackson's administration, in the partizan sense
Of that term. because, however strong may be
our original impressions As TO bis qualifications
and however thoroughly we may be convinced oil
the propriety Of our opposition to bis election
we have felt it to be not only duty, but plea
sure, to support him 10 his late patriotic effort

single effort which will rebound more to hfs b.
nor than all the maneuvres which his satellites
have been and are now drawing him into.
But we leave the GIobe for the present. We
wish we could convince it that it would he lar
better to act eourteousIy and justly than to main
tain its present reputation for the oppO'I'e' o.
those qualities.
A little child 10 this place, in the absence Of
