TO THE GLOBE. AND THE OTHER On
CANS OF THE DESTRUCTIvES.


TO THE GLOBE, AND THE OTHER OK
CANS OF THE Destructive,
The Disorganizers and Demagogues are fall
ing PROSTATE on the earth. Their career Is al
an end The course of the present Admins
lralon will lop all the fGtid excresences from
the genuine tree of Democracy. All the loath-
some frogs 1.-THE Destructives and their organs
will be swept from its branches. John Tyler,
our Republican President, will merit and re-
ceve the support of the moderate Democrats
and moderate Wings, in spite Of all the despe-
rate efforts of the Globe and the u. S. Gazette
to the contrary. We copy the subjoined article
from the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times:
THE NAvY-ITS NEGLECT-CONGREss
AND PRESIDENT TYLER.
We are not Tyler-man, and yet hold ourself
perfectly liberty praise Mr. Tyler and his cabinet
whenever their is such to excite our appro-
baton. We stand equally ready to condemn, when
they wander from what We conceive to be correct
principles but not disposed, like some OF our de-
mocratic brethren, to oppose, without discrimination,
any and every measure they may support, simply be-
cause Of its paternity.
stood when we say that it is it'll cordial satisfaction
we view the course of the Federal Executive in rea-
ton to the U. S. Navy. Judge Upshur, too if we are
deceived in the premises also entitled to much
credit, and we are not the to withhold il when
due, even from political opponent
We love, and can afford to be independent as well
as democratic We care not how widely we differ
from the so-caed organs OF our party, when we are
in pursuit Of truth, and advocate the of right
and hence we feel no reluctance to acknowledge the
fact that disagree toto cLo with the Globe on the
subject of the United States Navy and decidedly
opposed to any thing like its dimnuon reduction.
On the contrary, we are proud OF our navy we dwell
with delight the recollection of its heroic Deeds
and its chivarc character and are ready to advocate
permanent increase without regard to expense
iii every ocean float American ship, and the blue
ground and the white ''stars of gallant marine,
be familiar to the nations of the earth the blue
sky and the stars of heaven
We in favor, strenuousy In favor, of retrench-
ment; but we uncompromisingy condemn every spe-
cies of it that is based upon desecratonof
tonal dignity andhonor. The Navy is the represen-
tative of our nation abroad foreign governments
contemplate US through our Navy; and we protest
against any thing calculated by degrading our represent
tatives to degrade republic There is economy
in a course like this II is saving of pennies at the
sacrifice of dollars. We care not how much the ar
my diminished for standing army is repugnant to
democratic institutions, and our army of five or six
thou sand is in itself the veriest of humbugs We
want army in time of peace beyond the number
necessary to keep the frontiers in state of tranquil
ty, and we all know that in the event of war, we
could place no reliance upon the army, and could and
would have to, fall hack again upon the millions of pa
trioc hearts that stand ready to fight for their
own hearth-stones and the spirit of liberty. Reduce
the army we say as much as you please-it can only
be used as scarecrow at home wide Rhode Island,
it does not and cannot to produce respect for us
abroad-but touch not the Many, unless it be to en-
large and improve it, for every blow aimed at it, is
blow, (settng aside the ingratitude of the thing,)
aimed at our national dignity, and every measure
adapted diminish it, is measure adapted to lessen
us as a people, in the eyes Of an enUious Oorld!
We confess that are surprised at the course
of many Of our Democratic contemporaries in relation
to the Navy Bill. Do they feel bound nolens poiens
to follow the dictates of the Globe2 Have they no
feelings sympath es, no judgment of their own Dare
they take no stand besides that of party hack
"A mere mouth piece for party demagogues and po-
litical gamblers9 Have they no opinions except
.hose selected for them by soidisant leaders ?" Or
m their rage for retrcnchen would they really cut
off the nations to the erpsnse Of bo,ong II
We pause for reply
We look upon the conduct of Congress towards our
navy as most shameful, most dseraceful, most un
grateful, and most contemplate! and we pray To
Heaven the whole country may not yet have occasion
bitterly regret it. President Tyler deserves the
sincere eulogy of every patriot for the stand he has
taken in this matter We do not often have occasion
to pr aise him, but that is reason why we should
not do it when he really merits it. In relation to the
navy he has acted the part of an honest, high minded
and independent man; and the insanity, the wicked
ness Of the majority of the members of the House. is
only rendered the conspicuous by the reflection,
that they influenced far more in their vote by
their hostility the President than by any regard
for the national honor, or the national interest. We
truly hope that their constituents at the proper time,
may remember 1t.
Such is the character of many ofour representatives
at w ashingon, and from them we could expect no.
thing better than what have gotten, far the
navy is concerned What part Charles Brown, Esq.

prepared say His constituents naturally agi-
lated on the subject, and are anxious to know. We
were about to enghten them, but perceived that he
intended to publish card" for the especial benefit
of the finder boz, on the subject and thought pro-

view 10th sides of the question, we gave our
opinion. We know one thing-that if Mr.. Brown
has really acted this matter is thought, and
has really the interests of the finder box" at de-
ance, in order to affect any private political purpose
whatever, he may consider his fate sealed. He may
imagine himself suicide-a suicide for nothing too
and would recommend to him the perusal of the
story of that British nobleman, who destroyed him
self while in full possession of every thing that could
make life desirable, leaving it record that he COM
mled the act only because he tired of putting
his clothes in the morning, and taking them of
again at night Nous pcrrons.
P. S. We have just been favored by slip from the
Pennsylvania with Mr.. Browns etter-but too late
for publication to-day We shall attend to it TO-
morrow.
