THE GLoBE-THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

with feelings Of regret-lbar the Globe, SO far
rs its influence extended, was endeavonng 10
rend the Democratic party in pieces, for the
purpose of building up new party for the ben
eft of some peculiar !avorlte. We are con-
firmed in this belief by the leading article in that
paper of Monday.
Knowing, for il cannot longer be concealed,
that the great masses Of the Democratic party
throughout the United States, hail the acts and
principles OF President Tyler as peculiarly those
of true disciple Of Jefferson, what motive, save
desire TO dash the party TO atoms, that its IA
vorite whoever he may be, may have scram-
bic for the pieces, could have induced the Globe
10 make such reckless and desperate assault on
the Administration as we find in the article re-
ferred lo2
We quote the following, as a specimen of the
wholesale assault:
The Democratic party does not and cannot, approve
the general Of Mr.. Tyler's administration al
though may sanction Of the acts of that gentle
mansuch the vetoes OF the bank and what is called
the little tariff BILL These werc undoubtedly, highly
agreeable to that party but the grounds on which
they were based not equally satisfactory. The
Democratic party cannot forget that Mr.. TYLER
would have approved the bill establishing Bank of
the United States, but for the clause giving it the
absolute right to intrude branches into the States
without their consent that he approved the bill
for the distribution of the public lands and only in
cidentaliy dissenting from it afterwards, on the
ground that 1t violated provision that il should not
Jake effect when the necessities of the Government
required a higher duty than twenty per cent. on
foreign imPortations; nor that he precptately gave
his assent to the repeal Of the independent treasury
nor that he approved an infamous, demoralizing
bankrupt law; that he promised the interference
of the troops Of the United States for the purpose
arresting the extension of the right Of suffrage in
Rhode Island Above ALL they cannot fail to remem-
Der that MIR. TYLER has sanctioned tariff bill
obnoxious, by far, than that which he vetoed and
that Mr.. CUsHINGs exertions in procuring the pas
sage Of that bill about to be rewarded by seat
in the Cabinet. Lastly, how the Democratic
party be, or become, Zone and indivsible" with the
IS friends of Mr.. TYLER" when they see Mr.. WEE
srERone of their most stern, infexible opponents
in the situation of his prime confidential minister
and MIR. SPKNcER at the head of another Department
and both giving out as the future OF the Ad
mnistration, WALPoLE's execrable exchequer sys.
tenn, with debt, paper money, and corruption in it:
traini"
We ask the thousands and tens of thousands
of honest and liberia Democrats. who have SO
nobly stepped forth in the different States to the
support of the President, if they expected such
furious attack as this from The Globe? We
ak if it was well-timed or just7
And so the Globe says the Democratic party
"does not, and cannot, approve the general
course of Mr.. Tylers Administration" The
first thought that occurred to US, on reading the
above, was that, perhaps, the Globe might pos
sibly be mistaken. And we are still inclined to
believe, provided the Globe is mistaken, tina,
the Democratic party, particularly the masses,
will hardly submit to Its dctation. No Presi-
dent can please erery body But we venture
TO assert that the general course of any Pre-
sident never pleased the People more generally
than President Tyler's course. This fact is de-
mons,rated every day, in every section of the
Union. and we hope the Globe is not striving to
check such demonstrations
The Globe says the grounds on which the
Presidents vetoes of the Bank bills were based
were not satisfactory TO the Democratic party
We think 1t too late TO put in such an objection
particularly after the unqualified appreciation
Of the vetoes by the Globe, at the time they oc.
Cured, and the response of the Democratic
press throughout the country. The Globe is
welcome to injure the President, by denounc nc
his vetoes of the Bank bills 1t may also con
denim him for dissenting to the distribution o.
the public lands, on the ground that il violated
the Compromise act. We have no fear that the
Democratic party will condemn him for it, be-
cause the Democratic presses are not yet done
applauding him for his efectual dissent.
As for signing the repeal of the Sub
Treasury, the address of the New YorL
Democratic State Convention, this fall
substantially acknowledges that it was con-
demned by the People. The address compli
ments Mr.. Van Buren,, and very properly, on
his graceful retirement in obedience TO the
voice of majority Of the People 1t is car
dinal principle Of Democracy that the majority
shall be obeyed. Now, no one will deny tina,
the repeal of the Sub-Treasury was openly and
universally advocated by the victorious party
during the campaign of 1910. In truth, Mr.
Van Buren's defeat was mainly owing to the
unpopularity of the Sub-Treasury. 1t furnish
ed a sound currency for the ofice-holders, but
nothing for the People-not even .in-ci-den-tal-
ly." Mr.. Benton is in favor of incidental pro-
lection TO the People from Tarf-on the
same principle, why should not the Govern
ment give the People sound currency-"in.c i
den-tally," ifyou please7 TINS THE ExcHE-
ouER WILL DO. We think the Sub Treasury
men will prefer the Exchequer TO United
States Bank, and the United States Bank men
will prefer it to the Sub-Treasury. We have
taken our ground, and intend 10 maintain it,
As to the Globes objection to the BANKRUPT
law, it may enjoy the benefit of it in full, if il
pleases, ere it is repealed.
The Rhode Island affair had better be left to
the adjudication of the People of Rhode Island
Let us have their verdict not The Globes
The Globe well knows Mr.. Cahoun's senti-
