In tho Globe Of January Is, We have, AFTER Two or
three equvocal indications in lis columns, during tho
canvass OF Willingness TO take the aid Of all that clique
who might be brought 10 think Mr.. Van Buren, APP
proved Brownson's docirines-a aenuneiaon ~ MI.
Brownson's doctrines-undcr what circumstances
Under the circumstances Of Mr.. Brownson having
out with full expression of his views Of the per
sonal character and policy Of MIR Van Buren, far from
favorable. Now, suddenly, the Globe looks upon Mr.
Brownson with changed optics Qu.ntum mu'atus
alb lilo. The Boston Quarterly for which, before, y
apologized and seemed TO approve, we are now told,
published an "opportune article, which startled the
community with It's abhorrent doctrines in regard 10
the rights Of property and other still more sacred
rights Why, then, did not the Globe rebuke that
Review, upon the appearance Of this "opportune ar
ticle ~ Has II been compelled to wait till this time TO
ascertain that there multitude Of men in this
great country, who, comparatively Indifferent other
topics of strife between the great political parties,
would spring to the the moment they saw any
President seeming approve the truly nefarous
doctrines Of Brownsonl
And how could any sensible man think otherwise.
with respect to Mr. Van Buren's on this sub
ect when not whisper of dissatisfaction was utter
vass-when il has waited until now-tl all the in
huences Of Brownson and his clique in Boston, New
York, and elsewhere had been in his favor and
found detrimental INSTEAD of auxiliary, TO right
the imputa,ion Of those who gave currency to Mr.,
Brownson's notions charging that they were sane
toned by the President, he had counensnced the
author in comforting office upon him. Now, for tho
first ime have the official annuncia,ion that Mr.
Brownson never received appointment from the
President" Noio we have this when Mr.. Brownson
has spoken in dsparagng terms of Mr.. Van Buren,,
but not when he assailed with all the power of adj
mtted and lauded Democratic Review, the religious
institutions the religious rights and morals of the ma
ton. C'est un autre chose, Monsieur
How could those who came to the conclusions
have mentioned do otherwise, when they saw Amos
Kendall in the Extra Globe comparing the alleged
uncertainty of General Hairson's political opinions
to that Of the Christians Bibe-affrmng that they
admitted ofas many constructions that glorious book
as though, in the wide creation, and in all the null
arious subjects OF uncertainty he could find nothing
suitable standard of uncertainty the Revelation
OF Jesus Christ nothing fiji TO depict the uncer
tainty Of General Harrison's political opinions
Could sober rejecting men, who understood the force
of language, err in .egardlng this the dicon of

infdell Was this signal TO the battalions Of in
| fdels who rallied to the buge Of Brownsons doc
trinss Was it no just of alarm to consistent
religious men who saw nfdelity ready to vault into
the high places Of power, and already in partial pos
session of them, and who knew the neffable horrors
of infdel rule2 Time and again, Mr. Van Buren,
has been loud in isproessions of regard for the pub
lie morals Why did he neglect the opportunity of
showing them in practice the PRONUNCIATION of these
doctrines He has found his dexter hand
unskilful as to be unable to remove obnoxious
coordinate, when comported with his wishes to do
| He gave his orders to Mr.. Kendall (see KendaIls
published letter to Mr.. Van Rensscaer)t TO So
lomon Van Rensselaer, from the Post Office at Albany,
and the deed instantly done. Nor is this the only
well known case in which he has nterfcrcd with the
subordinate appointments He can interfere and dis
claim INTERCHANGEABLE the responsibility, or cast it
upon the shoulders Of Others suits the vile Of policy
/ or the dictate of passion.
