We copy the subjoined article from the MIS-
SOURI, REPORTER, the editor Of which occupies
the same lofty position among the Democracy
Of the West, that Mr.. Richie does in the East.
He is one of the patrarchs of the party
The Reporter first copies the rema ks Of the
KENTUCKY WOMAN (inserted by Us some days
since) deprecating the wild course of the Globe,
and then adds its own opinion as follows:
"THE GLOBE AND THE ADMINISTRATION. y
Though we not disposed to question the ability
or patriotism Of the Globe, we confess we have not
been able of late to comprehend its views to
fahom its policy. 1t is, as the Woman ntmates,
too bittertoo unsparng in lis blows upon the pres
ent Admnistration--and apparently too ungraleiul
for the Of the President which were applauded
by all honest Democrats.
| Its selections and editorials at times indicate
utraism in reference to banking and the tari,-sh w
hostility to any other than exclusive hard money
currency and TO the smallest determinations in favor
of manufactures. 1t may be understood by many as
going full up for the hard and for horizontal tariff
and then again it may be regarded stern advocate
of free trade and, cessary consequence, OF a
system of direct taxation. In its tariff views il
to accord with MIR. Calhoun but it has been strong
enough in its denunciations Of the late treaty to
4 IT..
Senators who voted with him for its ratification,
| its denunciations to receive full credence.
! There is evidently some mystery in the evoutons
of the Globe and we should be happy to see it ex-
planed--either political astronomical princi-
ples If it is to be the great Democra planetthe
orb Of light-we would have its RAYS direct and
centrated--not oblique and diverg ng.
But we think The cause OF the apparent ambiguity
in the course of the Globe is its uHraism. 1t is evi-
IDENTIFY touched with that cont gion 1t is ultra against
banking, ultra for hard money, ultra against dscImi-
mating duties ultra for ee trade and ultra against
the Administrator that it nothing good in
such of lis acts have been approved, with ore
! voice by the Democracy of the whole country. 1t is
said ex rcmes often meet but the Globe exhibits so
many, that we very much doubt whether it will
be able to point them all in direction.
II appears to us that it should be The constant aim
Of the leading emocTatc paper al Washington 10
concIIiate and reconcile differences of opinion as far
as practicable. The South is opposed TO protection
but should concede something for harmony and the
general veal. The North is in favor of protection,
but should not insist than the South mic hl
be reasonably expected oyied. The Government it,
self is the offspring of concessions; and tariff can
be permanent or advantageous TO the Mon, by which
nothing ia conceded to any quarter OF il. Besides, il
may well be doubted " neither manufactured articles
are not furnished, patty or mainly by our own cti-
MS under moderate degree of protection al cheaper
rates kan would st were wholly dependent on
European manu- acurors. To the extent that we are
engage in manufacturing create competition, add
to the supply, and reduce prices. Thu the con-
sumner Is benefited in greater degree than he is
injured by the protection he payslrovded that pro.
lection is reasonable hen there is the national con
sderation-that manufactures, to certain extent,
are absolutely necessary to security and comfort
in time of war. This should not be disregarded by
any portion If the country. We believe the people
are too patriotic and considerable to consent that man
ufactures shall be Frustrated, and the country rem
dered dependent Europe, in the event Of war; for
ordinary clothing and blankets which are as essen
tial to army provisions On this point the
Globe might obtain some useful information by re-
curing to the Messages Of General Jackson and his
letter to DR.. Coleman.
In reference to banks it should look to the history
of the States and to the action of parties in them
and recoect that such institutions have been created
| by Democrats well their opponents And
whilst differences OF opinion exis among Democrats
on many important questions, the leading press of the
party should never hazard its safety by pushing con-
hicng views or theories to extremes.
On certain great principles, the members Of par
ty may be expected to agree-but on measures which
do not conflict with those principles, they will diff
fer-inluenced as they must be, by interest or loca-
ton. He therefore, who assumes that, as to mea-
sures only one set of opinions are orthodox gene
rally labors to "unchurch" majority of the party
to which he Processes to belong.
We trust these remarks will not be unprnftabe TO
the Globe. They are well intended-and if they
produce the desired effect, shall be amply re-
wurded for committing them to paper.
