FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER %, 1872
POLITICAL ASPECTS.

The Globe and Madisonian have drawn
the sword and thrown away the scabbard:
and if they are to be regarded as the organs
of the parties to which they belong, then is
the breach between the present admlnistra-
ton and the locofoco party, wide as the
Gulf that separated the rich man and Laza-
rus. We alluded tie other day to the course
OF the Globe touching the position of Presi-
dent Tyler and his friends, and we now copv
the following extract from late number of
that paper for the purpose of illustrating
the spirit in which this warfare is waced.
and the sort of weapons used.
"Tunlcn, however should not forget that we cannot
trust TIE cause OF our heart to the keeping OF those
VINO, having Tor ten years in vain sought rs sacrifice

c'alohs, to bring The party AGAINST which they haze

cent tells us that the chief to whom he is So grateful,
| for beng thorn in the side Of Whigrery was once
welded to The Democracy; that he has only had n
taison with the bastard issue OF old Federalism and
would now DC happy 10 abandon the mistress 10

kindness OF the ailrclonatc bosom that once cherish

when the rowing Lothario returns to his home with
r.tinuc OF his paramours. And how is it with Mr.
Tyler, whose political Grim cons and long. Drotrarird
alteration OF our correspondent would excuse on ,hc
score oil very sudden remuneration of his way of lie
and very short repentance? lie returns TO his
family with n trnin Of the most notorious political
pr0Silues-uo 10 say the vcriest tawl s-egcr known

pany to It's embraces And not only welcome il Inn,
submit all its dome tic interests to their control md
become responsible, family, for the good conduct
OF the corners, and stand fall in the estimation
OF the world on the Responsibility they may hereafter
establish.
in our opinion, the Democracy can manage its
ai'lrs very well without the aid of any of the rcnnun
| cling Cuons who have uuarrelleJ with and hoe,
! driven away from, their fraternity. If thew now Get
shelter from those 10 whom they have before done all
! me mlschel IN Their power, they must be content
with the hospitality the house may afford to such
ed TO them. '-GiOjc, In inst.
While the Globe is waeing this war upon
the administration at Washington, Mr.. Ben
ton is off in Missouri, denouncing Webster,
Spencer, Gushing, and what he is pleased to
term the "dsgracetul British Treaty.
Meanwhile the Argus begins TO break cover
for Mr.. Van Buren, in New York. We copy
the following as we find it in the last number
of that print.
Mr.. BEARpsIEY AND Mn. VAS BURrv-Samncl
Beartsley who has Just been elected to congress from
the Twentieth Dstrict addressed letter to some of
his friends on the 81 OF November a few DAYS prey
ious to the late election, IN which, among other things
he says:
Present appearances very pl7inly indicate that
the democracy of this state will rally in favor Of the
nomination of Mr.. Van Buren,, and these indications
accord with my own feelings; bur the whics and
boilers wilt no doubt be then as now unitedy or
posed to HIN. II any one supposes shall be found
IN Their ranks he may have reason to think it neces.
sary for me 10 90 before the public aud elu,c these
ISLANDERS. But have no apprehension 10 myse. f.
nor do see any sufficient ground for believing thai
any such thing is called for by the democrats of the
county The thousand and one stories of hostility
To Mr. van Buren,, and OF combinations and plots 10
aid the election of Mr.. Calhoun and others TO the
Presidency, are far as relates to myself utterly
groundcss; as shameless fabrcatons as ever were
propagaled."
But here again the difficulty arises. While
appearances very plainly indicate" to Mr..
Beardsley and the Argus that Mr.. Van Bu-
rem is the man on whom locofocoism can
rally, the friends of Mr.. Calhoun regard it
} asvery preposterous to think of giving any
man third nomination. thing wholly be-
You'd reason, and an Infringement of the
precedent set by Washington. In alusion
to this subject, the Alabama Tribune, Mr.
Calhoun's organ, after expressing great sor-
I. row that MIR Van Buren, should have been
defeated in 1910. and extolling his previous
services, adds:
But when for this his friends claim as his due an,
, other nomination al hands, we are forced 10 ask
when will there be an end TO all this Suppose him
our candidate in 1874 and that "ihe same old COON u
which beat him in 1910, should again he too much fol
, hlm-wlll he not have the same claim our favor
, in 1887 And what in the mean time is to be done
for the equal merits of Calhoun Buchanan, Cass, Ben
ton, Wright, Woodbury., and the other worthy son,
ofwhom Democracy boasts After enduring the per
lis Of the fight shall they be snwreathed with none o
, the laures?"
Regarding this then. as a sort of Kilkenny
fight, from which the administration has no.
} thing to expect but abuse, it would seem tina,
President Tyler has come to the conclusion
to suspend ",hoss pressing invitations
