p AND THE GLOBE.
When Mr. Kendall first promulgated under
his own name, the sentiment which he has for
some years successfully introduced into the
operations Of our Government; that there are
duties to a community PARAMOUNT TO
THE LAWS which that community has
framed, and periods when it is PATRIOT
ISM TO DISR REGARD those laws; it was
met with general burst OF Indignation from
all quarters Of the Union. Such an atrocious
sentiment staggered even the most servile Of
the party presses, and the Evening Post,
with an independence and firmness which did
it much honor, denounced with passionate
bitterness the prohigate heresy and its jesuit
ical author. II boldly called upon the Exec
utive to remove Mr.. Kendall from u position
which he had thus proved himself unworthy
TO occupy; and, by lucid and unanswerable
reasoning, demonst rated the monstrous char
acter of the proposition, and the miserable re-
suits to which it must inevitably lead. The
attack of the Post was followed up in the
Hartford Times; another Jealous and indis-
criminate supporter ofthe administration, and
there were many signs that the "rebellon"if
not checked, would become daily more and
mole formidable. The Globe was for while
silent. The arguments of the Post could not
be answered, and its singing invectives were
passed orel with a studious neglect. Butt
the Post was not thus to be queted. Its at
tacks were daily repeated, and Mr.. Kendall
became Justly alarmed. He was fully con-
scious of the base ness of his wretched soph-
istries; but he had anticipated, on the part of
the administration presses, tame and ready
acquescence. Ii was decided that the Post
should be punished. 1t was considered neces-
sary to make it an example to evil doers.--
The petty printing patronage which it has
hitherto received from the Government Offices
was accordingly stopped. The Globe has
opened its batteries-sustans Mr.. Kendall to
the full extent of his strocious doctrines--
and extends over him the impenetrable shield
fthe PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES
ain the justice of Mr.. Kcndall's views, and
the pfopriety of the course he has adopted,
as delineated in his abuse letters, there is,
we believe, but one opinion here; an that is
one of unqualified appreciation. II is ,conder-
ttI that the Pos. should be so far deluded as to
suppose that Mr.. Kendall would proceed on
question Of high concern to The administration,
10 take ground and cypress officially important
opinions, ioithoM consulting his associates tn
the Government, AND ASCERTAINING
THAT HIS COURSE WOULD BE AP-
PROVED BY THE PRESIDENT"
Thus says the Globe of Monday. The
President of the United States-who has
sworn to defend the Constitution and the La,rs,
announces to the American People, through
an official document, issued by q member Of
his own cabinet-that there are duties para
mount to obedience oflaws-and circumstan-
ces in which it is PATRIOTISM TO VIO-
LATE THEM What has become ofPres-
dent Jackson's ancient reverence for his oath
ofofce-that oath from which he arrogated
TO himself powers which the laws never gave,
under the pretence that he had sworn to pro-
tect the laws? What has become of his an
cient horror of sectional nuication-that he
thus patronizes and advises broad, bound
less universal nullification--a notification
not countenanced by any claims of State
Right and State Sovereignty, but commend
ing itself to the whole people on their ind-
vidual notions of expedency and justice?-
There is no mistake or bubble about this.
We do not fix this charge upon Gen. Jack
son, on his own ridiculous assertion that he
is responsible to the People for the conduct
Of all his officers; though in 50 doing we
should be perfectly justified because he still
retains Amos Kendall in his Cabinet But
we have full, positive, uudoubted authority
that the atrocious doctrines Of this man, are
fully sustained by President Jackson-and
that their announcement was made with his
full consent and appreciation. In the asser.
ton Of the Globe, there is no room for cavil
or doubt; and VIC have the testimony Of the
official Journal to the fact that the views Of
Amos Kendall, in his recent letters, have the
HIGH SANCTION OF THE EPRESIDENT
OF THIS REPUBLIC!
! Our readers will bear in mind the peculiar
relation in which the conductors Of that jour-
nal stand to President Jackson. His foreign
ministers look to il as the guide Of their diI
plomatic conduct and Mr.. Livingston appeals
to its opinions, in his official dispatches, as
coincident with those Of the Executive. He
states that he adopted such and such course,
supposed it to be approved by President Jack.
son. All the presses, throughout the Union,
of whatever party, have uniformly considered
the Globe in this relation; and when it explic-
ity states, that the course of Mr.. Kendall is
approved by the President, we all know that
| il has full and entire authority for such dec
laraton.
And what q condition Of things is here re-
alizedl After a life marked from its COM
mencement by a contempt Of civil authority:
after six years Of an administration distin-
gr'shed by series of outrages upon the laws
and cons tuition Of the rcpublic-Gon. Jack
son, through an official communication OF
member ofhis Cabinet sanctioned by his own
appreciation through the columns Of hrs OFF,

solemn and fearful distinctness, thstthere arc
