The Globe has been busily enga ged for some time
in the Interesting business of attacking the admins
traon. From indications which cannot be msun-
derstood, we infer that its course is much more de-
cidedly acceptable TO the ultra Wings than 10 the
Democratic party. Is it the determination of the
Globe, and the few who concur with II, 10 rule or
ruin the Democratic party
We called the public attention nine months since to
facts, indicating disposition on the part of faction
of the Democratic party to cooperate with the eff
gy burners in their reckless warfare upon the adm-
nistraton. IL has been charged that few of the
Democratic Senators found frequently voting
with the Wings in opposition to the Presidents
nominations. 1t is further said, that those Democra-
tic Senators took peculiar delight in voting against
Democrats. Is the Globe the organ OF such-or
does it fight upon its own hook and for IFS own pecu
liar benefit We confess our inability to discover
how the Democratic pa ~, much less Democratic
principles, are TO be advanced by attacking the adj
minstration. Many very many of the peopis believe
John Tyler to be good Democrat as the Globe
men, or their hackers. That he has done much
to establish Democratic principles as the great Globe
itself At any rate, the people declare that John fy-
Ter is good enough Democrat for them. They may
not, however, have the same interest In the matter
that the Globe has, which naturally enough will ac-
count for the difference of opinion between the Globe
and the people To make short story OF the matter,
the Globe appears to be more anxious that paricu-
lar man should administer the Government than that
il should be well administered. The reverse IS the
have their Government properly administered
Thus the Globe and the people are at direct issue.
The leaders of the Wing party made war upon
Mr.. Tyler, believing him to be in the way OF their
favorite for the Presidency. They neglected the
public business in order to elect Henry Clay Presi-
dent in 1S44. The people have taken the power out
of their hands, and have recently elected Democrats
in almost every State IN the Union The Globe ap-
pears to be so much delighted with the recent eXhi-
billions of intelligence and patriotism the part Of
the people, il is laborng with might and main TO
place the Democratic party in the precise position
from which the people have Indignantly hurled their
opponents, that it may have the pleasure Of witness
inp a similar exhibition 1t will afford conclusive
evidence of the ability Of the people to take of
themselves The President we feel well assured, is
most anxious to admiHster the Government for the
benefit Of the people. However anxious any portion
of his friends may be that the people should give
ev dence of their appreciation of his course by re-
electng him. his recollection is, and Will continue to
be. a secondary object The first great object they
desire to see accomplished is, the successful admin
straiion Of the Government
Is IT, however, to be doubted that John Tyler has
friends in the Democratic party proper' If he has
friends in that party, is TO he supposed that they
are TO remain quiet and permit the friends Of every
other prominent Democrat to adopt measures TO
force the party to rally around their iavorite Such
a suppositon is preposterous. The original friends
of Mr.. Tyler do not present him a candidate
neitl er will they admit themselves TO be justly
sponsble for the acts of his friends attached TO the
Democratic party proper, who may feel constrained
in Justice to themselves, to adopt measures deemed
by them best calculated to their lust weight
in determining who shall be the Democratic candi-
date in lS44. Should such be the result let the re-
sponsibillty rest where il properly belongs.
