"Lay on Macduf,
Yours, truly

And id be he who first cries Hold, enough"
| Mr. EplroR-This still seems to be the war cry OF
the Globe, .or perceive it continues hurting its
shafts Of bitter spleen at the President and his whole
Cabinet Why is it This question is asked daily
| by hundreds Of the Democracy of the Southwest
Some of whom have grown gray in support Of the
old Republican doctrines, and have looked upon
the Globe being Of the truest and abl.,s ex-
Founders of Democratic policy in the country
There is some mystery in this, says one, that can
not account for. Another regrets the violent course
Of its criticisms and its tone of bitter animadversion
on Mr.. Tyler's whole administration Of the Gov
| ernment and there is tone of dissati .faction
sent forth daily in the expressions of those whom
have heard declare their opinion relative to It's vio-
lent course. These uncalled for attacks of the Globe
upon MIR. Tyler and his friends may, for short pc
rod, deter many, who now feel disposition, from
acting in support of his Administration but it will
not last long. The tide of popularity setting
strongly in his favor every day, and eventually his
standard will be floating TO every breeze, and the
People will rally around it with their firm and I'M
wavering support. There is scarcely Democrat in
Nashville, except those who are influenced by the
that the Globe has pursued but who discount
| What il expects to gain by all this | am unable
to account for. Does it expect to add strength
to the Democratic party by striving to separate the
Democrats from acting with the Administration in
carrying out the principles of Jefferson Does it by
its denuncations Of the late Treaty. add strength to
cause, when in condemnng that peace offering to
our country il aims blow TO PROSTATE MIR. Calhoun
and the eleven Democratic Senators who voted for
it? Is Mr.. Wright or Mr.. Buchanan and large part
of the Democratic delegation in the House, TO be
sacrificed, because they would not act with Senator
Archer in 'cutting off all supplies from the Govern
ment to let it go into dissolution does it intend
to shake hands with Bolts, and head him Capt Ty-
ler) or die In denouncing Mr.. Tyler, the Treaty,
| Tariff Sc &c, those members must certainly come
| in for share Of the Globes abuse, for by their
votes those very measures which it has made much
Glamour about became laws AS to Mr.. Webster and
the other members Of the Cabnet,we can see no Just
cause why they should meet with such unmercilul
attack when neither of them in their whole official
course since they have been the councillors of the
President, have taken grounds against the Democrat
ic party. Ii appears to that it should be the
slant aim of the leading Democratic paper at Wash
ington to reconcile differences of opinion as far as
practicable and heartily concur with the Missou-
ri Reporter, whose editor welJs pen of considera
Bile talent, when he says q There is evidently some
mystery in the evolutions of the Globe and we
should be happy to see it explained either on
political OF astronomical principles If il is to be
the great Democratic panet-tbe orb Of lght--we
would have its rays direct and concentrated--not
oblique and diyergng. But think the cause of the
apparent ambiguity in the course of the Globe is its
ultraism II is evidently touched with that conta-
gion. Ii is ultra against banking, ultra for hard mo-
ney, ultra against discriminating duties, ultra for
free trade, and so ultra against the Administration
that it see nothing good in such Of its acts as
have been approved, with voice by the Demo-
cracy of the whole country. 1t is said extremes Of
ten meet but the Globe exhibits so many that we
very much doubt whether it will ever be able to
| pon, them all in direction These sentiments
are spoken out with spirit of truth and independ-
ence, and am rejoiced to see such able cham
pion Of Democracy in the West come out 50 honestly
in the expression of his views the Globe S
conduct There is no doubt but that the sem j.
ments OF the Reporter express the feelings
of the great Of the Democratic party,
and it is extremely unpleasant to speak in dis
appreciation of organ that has fol so many years
had their full confidence. These remarks, | hope
will not be written without some effect, for they
come from one who has ever supported Democratic
principles and who agrees with many of his friends,
that as long as the Globe continues to combine with
the Federal press, in denouncng all the measures OF
the present Administration, it certainly cannot ex-
pec to meet with their heartfelt approval or support
or will they be responsible for the sentiments that il
utters the leading organ of the Democratic party
