PUBLIC OPINION.

IN. W STANDARD, an able Van Buren paper,
We have had in type for several weeks, bus
owing to The continued prcss Of other natter
has been crowded out from week to week for
want of room. II is T. capital article, aud.wc
publish il to show what are ihe opinions of
honest Van Buren, r,en, in relation 10 the
course pursued by the Administration. and its
organ, the Globe. Its predictions in regard
to the "iotai operihroW" Of the party, and or
'he common nnd ireirupabie ruin" which a.
waits them. it must he apparent to every can
did and impartial observer is daily being veri-
fed
! The Washingion GIobe.--We are
panied to observe that this paper, after
having manifested some disposition TO
pursue a more r"derate course, has re-
sumed its tone Of viiulent and vindictive
dominion towards the bankers and busr-
ness classes Of the city Of New York.
We begin 10 find our state pride lhtse'
sensitive under the repetition of the un-
founded attacks which have filed the
organ Of the administration for some
months past, upon the citizens and in
terests Of our commercial emporium
! We know Mr. Van Buren, well eanugh
to know, that these repeated fnlminations
cannot be in accordance with his views
and feelings, and apprehe nsiens once
partially allayed, have been revived,
that the Globe is playing a part in this
matter, which has but little reference to
the stability of his administration, Of the
continued union and ascendaney of the
democratic party of the nation. We are
as strongly convinced as that we live,
that a persistence in the present course
of that paper, unrebuked or not disavow-
ed by the administration, or the repub-
lican members Of Congress, will result
in the total overthrow of the republican
minority Of the States, and Of course in
the deiec! OF Nj, Van Buren's re.elec-
! ton.
4 These remarks have been drawn f,om
us by the leading article in the Globe Of
the Ord inst. in which il is falsely assumed
1.-THE "New York City Banks have
brought about the suspension" designed
lily, and in which it is alleged that since
the suspension they have been seh'ng
their specie for expectation. No salts
factory proof is offered 10 justify these
grave charges. BY the provisions Of
the suspension law, passed by the Leg
! slature Just before its adjournn ent, the
banks were prohibited from selling their
specie and it was the duty Of the Bank
c Commissioners if they violated the pro-
vision to proceed agains. them by Injunc-
l a. thar chortara M
proceedings of this character having
been commenced, we may safely infer,
that no offence of this nature has been
committed. There exists no reasonable
ground of suspicion, in our bc'iet, that
:, they have dared 10 risk their existence
: for so small a consideration. The i'm
!. putation inpeaches their sagacity as
>, well "a integrity, and we discredn it al
p together.
s. The allegations Of the Globe ntiec'
!, indi.criminately the republicans and the
y wings of the city of New York. Nc
distinctions are made, but the nnnthemas
of the acknowledged organ of the ad'
ministtation are heaped with bountifu
: hand upon the frmest and most ardent
supporters Of the President in his native
n state.
$ The supporters OF the administration
/, are cooled and its enemies are heated
i The land is struggling under embarras-
rnent and disaster, and yet as ",l madness
ruled the hour" the Globe disd dains &c
q profit by the lessons of experience, ol
relax the severity Of its tone until It CIR
ascertain whether the popu'ar will doe
ID !, not dictate a change Of views.
= No intelligent man can m'sapprehent
1.-The fatal tendencies OF the influence
q which presidcs in the administration
", press at the capitol. We are clearly o'
the opinion that with such pilot, inc
good ship Of Democracy will be speedily
wrecked, and its precious freight con-
n signed to the deep waters Of oblivion
No human agency can direct the storm
which It ~ the obvious policy Of tn
Globe to excite, nor will it be found II
human nature to forgive the injuries thf
tempest would infict Who will under
take TO predict the recovery Of the de-
!, " mocratic ascendancy, IL the opposition
should succeed at the next Presidential
electioua
T. II will he we'll To look around us snt
estimate the conse equences which nave
lb.ep already induced, and trace them t'
oy ,he;r causes. q. we'll rs ascertain ou
..so,, condition. The Republican
party, "a organized under the last ad
ministra,ion, have lost the States Of New
Jersey. Ohio, Ineiana, and Georgia.
