THE GLOBES APOLOGY.

If we have not always Disseminated so accurate
y, between the reformation and abuse, and the pre-
servation of what was useful, as he [Gov Marcy
has done; and if we have sometimes spoken with
an explicitneSs and energy which to some Of our
friends have seemed TO be unnecessarily severe the
difference may readily be referred 10 the circum-
stances under which we have written the exciting
character of the contest the intense and overwhem
ing interest with which VIC have witnessed its pro-
greSs; the fearful array of wealth, talent and power
BY which the cause we had espoused was constantly
assailed the approximations and impulses which be-
long to such crisis, and the magnitude of the prn-
ciples which depend on its result Globe Jan. TO-
Does the Globe send this subtle and in
sinuating apology as a flag Of truce to that
portion Of the Democratic Republican party
which it has constantly designated as traitors
and freebooters, sailing under piratical flag
and against whom it has hitherto carried on
war to the knife, and refused all quarter
Does the Globe suppose, that those thus stig-
matised and denounced by the favored organ
of the Administration, are so soft as to be
drawn into ambush by such himsy stratagems;
and, under pretence Of >parley, to be de-
coyed from their impregnable intrenchments,
to enact another massacre of Wyoming!
Does the Globe imagine, thatthose who do
not desire its confidence" and are not par
ticularly distinguished by its favor" can be
so shallow as not to comprehend the sincerity
with which Mr.. Clay was first supported, or
the charity with which Mr.. Calhoun was first
opposed or the delicacy with which the
traitors" of the party were first treated; or the
consistency with which the " Cicero" and the
+" Catiline" have changed places in its afiec-
tons, like nuts in an apes jaw" the first
mouthed to be last swallowed" or, finally,
the very characteristic manner with which the
/" traitors" are invited to surrender at descre-
ton. like the victims of Wyoming, and, like
them when the terms are inquired, to be an
swered, !" the Ratchet"
We can very well conceive that Gov Mar
CIV ION whose message, the article, from which
we have taken the extract, is Commentary
must feel highly gratifed at the reinforcement
OF the Globe, particularly as the but too GER
tain defeat of the Sub Treasury Scheme, may
be very conveniently charged to the support
of the Official! And more especially must
the Governor be nattered with the aid of his
new ally, inasmuch as that Official now
shows so much readiness and devotedness,
particularly in support Of the suspension
law" which it long and almost daily denounc-
ed as combination Of paper money Barons to
detraud The poor Of their hard earnings
The readers of the Globe, those who are ac-
quaintod with its. hirsute style and language,are
not very likely to be deceived in the paternity
of the article upon which we have comment
ed. The poiee IS JacobS uoice, but the hands
are The hands of ESau. Democracy is not
vet so blind and dotard as TO be wheedled out
of her blessing by so shallow cheat!
! A weak invention of the enemy
The New York Journal of Commerce quotes
the same paragraph, and adds the following
comment:
"Tbus far the Globe; with which, in relation 10
4 banks and the currences we have been accustomed
to consider ourselves thoroughly at variance. Yet
If the old axiom of Euclid is true, that things which
| are equal to the same thing are equal TO one an
other il would seem, after all that the only point OF
difference between us and the Globe relates TO the
| separation of the public money from the banks! In
publishing Governor MarcyS message, before ever
i The Globe had seen It. we accompanied 1t with the
remark which we have since seen no reason to re-
call that in a cursory reading Of the message we
had found little or nothing TO object TO, except me
concurrence of His Excelency IN the project OF Sc
parating the public money from the banks Is so,
then that during the six months and more, that we
have been contendng with the Globe on the subject
