The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1839-12-10

Jersey Will be shielded from the assaults VI
those goths and yandaIs who would trample
upon her rights and privileges; and her laws
and constitution will be indicated before the
assembled representatives Of the nation. Her
bright star viii still shine in the armament Of
the Union, reaecting and receiving glory, still
among her noble sisterhood.
We do not deem il worth our while TO at
tempt any reply to the audacious and menda-
cous stuff the Globe has been daily pouring
forth in relation TO the controversy pending
in the House. Whatever effect the efforts OF
that organ may have in infaming and deluding
the minds Of It's readers elsewhere, u Is PAL
pable enough that its odious misrepresenia-
tons are impotent here They carry their
own antidote with them. They only arouse
and stimulate the energies Of the Wings and
by reason Of the utter reeklessness, exhibit
ed by the editor in pursuit of his oDn sslf-in-
feresi, go far to neutralize the determinations
Of the sensible and honest portion Of the
friends Of the administration.
There are few Loco-Focos upon whom
the declarations Of the Globe may possibly
have the effect desired and the House and
the country will mark its development in the
unbridled fury and bloody-minded violence
which can scarcely be confined in the heav-
ing breasts Of certain individuals. Whatever
OF rashness, Of injustice, Of unnecessary de-
lay, OF disorder, may be exhibited IN the
House, the Globe, as the organ OF Mr.. Van
Buren,, must claim the merit Of having done
what it could TO produce it.
The ingrati,ude, in6delity, and reckless
avarice of the official organ must shock even
the staunchest friends Of the administration.
Many of our readers recollect that large
proportion Of the National Convention which
nominated Van Buren, for the Presidency,
were warmly in favor of Mr. Rives Tor the
Vice Presidency. Fancying that Mr.. kises
was firmly attached to the party, the editor OF
the Globe attended in the lobby Of the Con-
vention, and applied all the means o. In
trigue within his control, to set aside the
friends Of Mr. Rives and sacrifice them to ms
own sordid selfshness, by procuring the
nomination Of Col. Johnson, whose party OF
friends in the House, that editor knew could,
as price for his efforts, give him the public
printing. He succeeded so well in that ar
rangement that, he is now, we have reason 70
believe, in the despeyateness Of his fortunes,
seeking to consummate bargain, OF cha
racter not less prohigate. Mr.. Benton and
his hosts, he believes to be fully and inextri-
cably committed to administration. MIR. Cal
houn and his friends are yet to be confirmed.
The Globe therefore, swallowing all its own
accumulated denunciations Of Mr.. Calhoun
and his multiplying friends, and overlooking,
apparently, all the courteous retorts il has re-
ceiyed in return, is eagerly intent upon bar
tering its friendship for Mr.. Benton, with the
friends Of MIR. Calhoun for few votes for
printer, without which, the paitry cormorant
of the spoils, described by Mr.. Pickens, cam
not be elected How Mr.. Benton will look
upon such rare specimen Of fidelity and gra-
titude, and whether Mr.. Calhoun will accede
to the terms Of the bargain, remains to be
seen. We did entertain an opinion more
creditable to the honorable friends of Mr..
Calhoun, and we will not throw it aside till
the denouement Of the drama compels US to
do so. We have before said that the Globe
would abandon Mr.. Van Buren, forthwith for
the sake Of the public PRINTING! Mr.. Benton
will soon learn whether Their reason in
the remark.
