tves and OF those whom Ii thinks proper TO cluster
under that designation.
II we We're TO Judge by the doctrines which the
Globe imputes TO them, we should conclude It
meant the old Jackson party that advocated the poll
cy of the late Chief Magistrate In regard TO the
State Banks. five were TO judge by the TECHNICAL
ties Of that paper should infer that 1t meant the
old FEDERAL party
Most Of our readers will recollecl that when we
first issued our prospectus the Globe assaled us un-
der the head Of Conservative Principles and for
the reason simply thai had stated in that circular
that "the necessity also appears Of the adoption OF
more eoaSrrGtirs principles than The conduct Of those
10 indicate Ao seek 10 remedy abuses By DESTROY
mo the iaSitations Nth irhich they found con-
aecied" The Globe has seen fit TO apply the word
conservative" herein found to party Of men who
have always been republicans from the days of JEFF
ferson and Madison; who supported Gen. Jackson's
administration and promoted the election OF Mr..
Van BuTeI by the pledges he had given; who have
been the long and wetried friends of the people in
every instance in which their true interests as re-
publicans have been assailed; and after applying
the distinction ITSELF il calls them "selfsyed' and
labors TO prove that the producing classes in Eng
land are opposed to the conservatives" of that
country! A eqritnr about as relevant, comparison
about as just il would be TO compare the producing
classes OF this country with the slaves of Tartary
and conservatism In this country with the conserva-
tism Of the Great Mogul! The Globe found the
word in our prospectus, and applied il TO party,
whose views in regard to the repositories Of the
public revenue, we share the pride with many others
Of representing.
The party is also designated as the Bank party
and the Globe places the Hon. JAMES GARLAND, of
Virginia, at the head of IT, If an honest and patriot
desire TO reform the banking system Of the country
and wish 10 render the revenue power auxiliary 10
that reform; IL to sustain the banks against the eff
forts of those who would annihilae Them and to re-
store their currency TO the specie Standard and make
them the repositories Of the public funds as they
always have been from 1859 down TO this day, emit
tie that party to the classification then they are the
Bank party, and we shall glory in belonging to it. as
we expect to rejoice in its triumph.
The Globe says the doctrines of the leaders o.
this party are not adopted by more than five or six
members in either branch of Congress"
Is this an intentional Misrepresentation How
stood the vote on the Sub-Treasury2
The fact is, that Gen. Jackson was the leader 0.
this party for the last eight years, and the Globe
was his organ The whole administration party, be-
ing an overwhelming majority of Congress, were Of
TINS party al the last WINTER session Inc GLOBE wa
always considered its organ until il adopted the
"Houa" principles of Mr.. Calhoun and left the Re-
publican track
"The bank party, therefore, count certainly on
bringing into the ranks OF the opposition, all rho in
sia making bank paper tender 10 the Government
and its creditors, instead of gold and silver" "
1.-THE Globe intends by this first to class the Con-
servatives" with the opposition, and then impue to
them wish to make bank paper tender we can
speak Off in other than Ito use the Ian
guage of Col Benton to Mr.. Calhoun,) "a violent
assault upon truth"
The attempt to classify James Garland with the
fcderalsls is unexpected, that shall defer
comments until the Globe has fulfilled itspromise of
"dereloping It's rictcs more tlliy.
