The Washington Globe Extra of the 9th
inst, in announcing the election of VIM Hen
ry Harrison TO the Presidential chair, uses the
following language: General Harrison the
standard bearer of the Federal and Abolition
parties, has been elected, if the process by
which this result has been brought about, can
be caleb an election.
What that process has been, we have d.
ring the canvass endeavored to point out, ard
it is not our purpose now to go into that sub
ject. We shall endeavOr, in due time, TO give
il the attention its importance demands in re-
ference to the purity of our elections, the pre-
servation of our popular institutions and the
maintenance of the public morals. In this
important duty, we trust, that we shall not be
disappointed in confident reliance on the
powerful cooperation of the entire Democrat
ic press Of the country"
1t is quite amusing to see with what gravl-
ty the Globe catechises IFS corrupt satellites,
and the apparent sincerity it exorts them tn
rally their forces; but stay Messrs. Editors,
wait a hile,-examinc who are to be your
company keepers-the People have certainly
left you SOLITARY and alone, aforementioned and
forgotten" They have been once caught in
the trap of @nick Names you viii hardly
succeed in catching them in the same snare
soon. You have moreover played too strong
game of political quackery upon them, You
have administered your democratic speciicks
in too large doses to cherish healthful state,
they nauseate; the honey in which the pill Is
enveloped TO conceal the bitter within, is not
sufficient to neutralize lis drastic effects, but
we give the party the credit of inventing the
compound, which doubtless emanatcd from the
true Van Buren, Democratic laboratory.
But the Globe appears to be not little dis
appointed at the result of the election, and the
"process it was brought about and promises
his parlizans ain due time to go into this sub
ject." Now, from the signal rebuke the party
have received in the recent election. one might
suppose the knowing ones of the Van Buren,
aristocracy could easily discover the 'process'
by which they have been dismissed from the
councils of the country, ehint however tc
the wise," it was by the good sense of the peo-
pie at the ballot box. Surely then, when " du-
ring the canvass the endeavors'' of the editors
aided by the cooperation fthe entire DEM
ocratic press to point out'' to the American
people the virtue and merits of Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's administration, especially when its beau
ty and blessings are SO emphat icaly Illustrated
throughoutthe States, their efforts have failed
it augurs madness in the Globe in attempting
to rally his party in the hope of being again
restored. to the confidence of the people, they
have had enough of the empty charms OF
names, hypocrite and tyrant may call him.
selfa democrat and yet not be one 1t is now
apparent that the partizans of the administra-
ton in putting on the garb of democracy, have
shown themselves to be nothing more nor less
than wolves in Sleeps clothing.
We may expect shortly new ve,s sion o.

Modern Democracy" or "Van Buren, tao
