garded as patriotism instead OF treason. The
State bank deposIte system was introduced
| by Jackson, and the "Globe" was its ,set
nurse-t was then all beauty and all purity
now forsooth according TO the "Globe" and
its satellites, it is all deiormity-all corrup-
ton. The horrid determines and corruption
OF the Sub-treasury scheme were first exposed
by the "Globe" and avouched by the whole
administration party-now il is all beauty and
all purity and the unfortunate Conservatives
who have dared to express what they think,
that this scheme is still deformed and danger
Gus, are made to feel the full measure Of that
vindictive wrath, which the Globe regards as
SO effectively whitening, and are executed upon
that political scaffold already indelibly stained
with the blood Of SO many pure and patriotic
men. This paragon of purity and perfection
taught the very doctrines which are now SO
offensive in its eyes, and for faith in which, il
SO merciessly cuts off the heads Of the Con-
servatives with the lictor axe. As the rock of
adamant is impenetrable to the powerful stroke
Of the electric flash, so these fearless and in
corruptible patriots, at whom this self-created
laundering god hurls his fiery bolts will be
impervious to his bolts. The people Of Vir-
ginia are too high minded, too independent,
too intelligent, and too proud to submit to die
taton from any quarter, much less from
press devoted heart and soul 10 power, and
dependant for its very existence upon the sue
cess OF the men in power. They will not pro-
scribe and ostracize their public servants at
the bidding of the /" Globe" or any of its CO.
adjutors in the work Of prescription and de-
nunciatlon, nor will they submit to any such
foreign interference with their rights and pri-

OF the great Napoleon, and what has been,

| Qncn' Deus rnn perdere, prius dementat:
The sc Globe" speaking of our article on
which il comments says Of the Conservatives
that Having the bright example of the Ame-
rican Colonies, in the first remuneration of the
Government of Great Britain, before their
eyes, the Conservatives formally dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
the Democratic party Of The nation" The
Globe" has unwittingly given true similti-
tude. The tyranny, the intolerance and the
prescription Of the British Government drove
our patriotic fathers to dissolve the political
connection which bound them to il; so the
Conservatives finding themselves, denounced,
abused, and prescribed for opinions sake have
initiated the high example Of their fathers and
shaken off that allegiance to party which re-
quires them to submit to contumely, insult
,nl oh Coz -
Mon, and determines them to maintain their
principles in despite Of all that can be said or
done. We defy the !" Globe" to point out
single deviation from the principles of finance,
maintained by Gen. Jackson's administration
by the Conservatives-Yet with a spirit of
intolerance which distinguished the dark days
of religious persecution, they are pursued
with ferocity, a cruelty and recklessness
which would disgrace and dishonor the pur-
suit Of the most debased and degraded male
factors. 1t is in vain that the "Globe' urges
the failure of the State bank system it knows
full well that there has been no failure. 1t
knows that nearly or quite all the public mo-
ney has been repaid by the Banks-it knows
that the temporary suspension of specie pay
ments saved the people from great distress
and sacrifice, and prevented the expectation Of
our whole specie funds to pay our foreign debt.
1t knows that the policy of the Secretary of
the Treasury delayed the resumption OF spe-
Gle payments by an unnecessary exaction
OF specie-Why then is little embarrass-
ment to the Government growing out of po-
licy which saped the people held up as re-
proach to the Banks Every one with half
an eye can see il is to enable the Globe to cry
out bank-bank, and delude the people into
the adoption of its .taporite Independent
Treasury scheme" which in its own eyes three
years ago was SO horribly delormed.
We deny that the Conservatives have ADAM
doned the I" Republican party"-we deny that
they have abandoned republican principles
we deny that they are federalsts. They have
only refused to rally under the ne,c flag of
which the Globe is staff bearer. They have
only refused to submit to the despotsm, the
tyranny and prescription of the changeling de-
mocratc school of 1898 Of which the Globe is
high priest. They refuse TO change as he
changes, and we trust ever will. Let the
Globe" take to itself all the glory which
shall result from the shattered condition Of the
republican ranks. That paper has done the
deed and is entitled to the spoiis." We
feel conscious pride in the anticipation that
Virginia will teach the i" Globe' and all others
who shall attempt to dictate TO her, that she is
capable of acting for herself, and that she re-
CARDS their attempted dictation as an insolent
interference with her rights. We warn the
Globe" that the small concern will in the
end be large concern and WELD an influence
which its wit, and its sarcasm cannot check or
resist"
