great measure, the removal of the deposites.
Why is il that the names Of these distin-
guished and patriotic men, whose principles
are now the same as in 1881, are singled
out and branded as traitors, induced to give
their support to the former administration only
" from mercenary and base considerations Of
profit 7" II this is to be calmly and quietly
tolerated and submitted to, where are our
boasted liberties! They have existence but
in name. What is the mere name OF them
worth. held under such tenure Who will
place the smallest estimate on that name,
when deprived Of the freedom of thought and
of actioni What is il that has led to this
despotic tyranny What has wrought the
miraculous changel General Jackson, (who
his enemies charged with being tyrant,) re-
pudiated such doctrines. The Globe of the
10Th June, 1884, after announcing the resig-
nation of Mr.. McLane, then Secretary of
State, said, sit is well understood, that in
regard to some prominent measures which oc-
cupy much Of the public attention, Mr.. Nc
Lane has entertained different views from the
President But the President uho has,
through life, EXERCISED HIS OWN INpEpEND-
ENcE OF JUDGMENT, IS too generous, and TOO
JUST. to gipe up one, esteemed By him as a
friend, an honest patriot and faithful public
servant for a mere difference Of opinion and
as no action by the Department Of State was
requisite in carrying into effect the measures
in question, he saw no public necessity for
separation"
What change in the brief space of three
short years Now, men who dare to exer-
else their town independence Of judgment"
and entertain their own views upon measure
Of great national polity, and thus differ from
those in power as to the erpedieney Of such
measures are stigmatized as traitors" fed
eral whigs," &c. mathematical and attempted
to be ostracsed from the party with which
they have hitherto acted, by .icentious, pr0sti-
tute and ueaal presses.
These are not the only changes Of most
astounding character which events and times
have wrought. From the same article, in the
Ace" from which we have already given
extracts, we find the following:
Since the issue presented BY the Message, the
Conservative faction has defeated us in Maine and
New York We turn with Joy and pride to the other
side of the picture. Throughout the whole South
strong detachments of original Republicans are
separating themselves from their late allies Of the
opposition under Of their abest late leaders and
raflying with the enthusiasm of the oden time to the
democratic standard there to fight on the issue Of the
Message"
1t will at once be perceived that reference,
in this extract, is made to Mr.. Calhoun and
his nullifers, against whom the columns of
the Globe, have, for five years past, teemed
with its outpourings of abuse and malice, I'M
til the leader, with few of his rank and file,
appeared the advocates of the Sub-treasury
scheme, when the Globe trumpeted them forth
as the purest patriots in the land.
Within few days Of the period, in 1884,
when the Globe was bestowing its praises on
Messrs Rives and Tallmadgo, which we have
copied, it held the following language respect
ing MIR. Calhoun and his qualifying followers
in relation to the bloody BILL"
"The Southern people may now Judge of the sin
ccritu of these nuifers. Nothing was so terrible
few months ago as the bloody bill Now they
hug to their bosoms the bloody men who passed the
bloody BILL and dare not agitate the question, lest
they should quarrel with their new allies and do
great injury to the Bank! Great friends of State
Rights they are, supporting the grossest usurpation
upon those rights, ever committed by the General
Government Ultra Republicans in profession, they
do not hesitate to unite with ultra ederaliss in prac
tice Their State Rights consists in the destruction
of individual rights, and the liberty they adore is
the liberty to enslave their fellow freemen."
This is the character of the new allies of
the 1oco. toco-destructiue party, which they are
exulting in having acquired, described by their
leading organ! What becomes of State
Rights, under the proposition which this tho
ly alliance Of loco. foco-destructiues and Cal
houn.nulhGers are attempting to carry out
They will be lost, utterly annihilated in the
direct tendency Of the measure to lead to con-
solidation, and an entire dependency upon the
General Government How long can such
party, so composed, and advocating the doc
trincs that party does, hold together
Will the Albany Argus reciprocate, by CO.

article!
