TO THE GLOBE, AND THE OTHER OR
CANS OF THE DEsTRUCTIvEs.
The Disorganizers and Demagogues are fall
ing PROSTATE on the earth. Their career is at
an end The course Of the present Admins
Iration will lop all the frtid 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-
ceive the support of the moderate Democrs' %
and moderate Wings, in spite of all the ssne-
rate efforts of the Globe and the U. $ caye,,.
10 the contrary We copy the sut ,o;ned ar,icI,
from the Philadelphia Spirit + the Times:

AND PRES DENT T TYLER
We are not IT,
perfectly at libev lerman' ana ye, we n1u oulse,,
bation .er course is such to excite our appro'
thew We stand equally ready to condemn, when
~ wander from what we conceive to be correct
incples, but are not disposed like some OF our de-
mocratic brethren, TO oppose, without DISCRIMINATION
any and every measure they may support, simply De-
cause of its paternity.
With these predatory remarks We will be under
stood when say, that is it'll cordial satisfaction
we view the course Of the Federal Executive in rela
ton to the u s. Navy. Judge Upshur too, IT we are
not deceived in the premises is also entitled to much
credit and we are not the one to withhold It when
due, even from political opponent
We love, and an afford to be independent as well
as democratic. We not how widely we differ
from the called organs OF our party, when we
in pursuit Of TRUTH and advocate the of right
and hence feel no reluctance to acknowledge the
fact that disagree toto cdo with the Globe, the
subject of the United States Navy, and decidedly
opposed to any thing like its dmiDution reduction
On the contrary, are proud OF our navy we dwell
with delight on the recollection Of its heroic deeds
and its chvalric character and ready to advocate
its permanent increase without regard to expense
Ill every ocean float American ship, and the blue
ground and the white stars" of our gallant marine
be as familiar to the nations of the earth as the blue
sky and the stars of heaven.
We are in favor, strenuousy in favor, of retrench
ment; but uncompromisingy condemn every spe-
ces of it that is based upon desecratonQf our
tional dignity and honor. The Navy the represen
tatve of our nation abroad; foreign governments
against any thing calculated by degrading represent
tatves, to degrade republic. There is economy
in course like this Il is saving of pennies at the
sacrifice Of dollars. We care not how much the
my is diminished for standing army IS repugnant to
democratic institutions and army of five six
thous and is in itself the veriest of humbugs We
want no 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,
could place reliance upon the army, and could, and
would have to- fall hack again upon the millions of pa
lrioc hearts that stand ready fight for their
own hearh-stones and the spirit of liberty. Reduce
the army we say, much as you please-it can only
be used as scarecrow home, vide Rhode IslandO
it does not and cannot to produce respect for
abroad-but touch not tie Nary unless it be to
large and improve it, for every blow aimed at it, is
blow, (se,ting aside the ingrahtude of the thing,
aimed at our national dignity, and every measure
adapted to diminish it, is measure adapted to lessen
us as people, in the eyes Of an enpious 1orld!
We must confess that We surprised at the course
Of many of our Democratic contemporaries in relation
To the Navy Bill. Do they fee, bound noiens poiens
to follow the dictates of the Globe} Have they no
feelings, sympath es, judgment of their Dare
they take stand besides that of mere party hack
a mere mouth-pie for party demagogues and po-
ltca gamblers? Have they no opinions except
those selected for them by sol dsant leaders z" Or
in their rage for retrenchmeni, would they really cut
off the nation to sape the erpsnse Of boloing III
We pause for reply.
We look upon the conduct of Congress towards our
navy most shameful most disgraceful, most un.
grateful, and most contemp ble! and pray TO
bitterly to regret it. President Tyler deserves the
sincere euogy of every patriot for the stand he has
taken in this matter We do not often have occasion
to praise him, but that is reason why we should
not do it when he really merits it. In relation 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,
their hostility the President, than by any regard
for the national honor the national interest. We
truly hope that their constituents, al the proper time,
may remember 1t.
Such is the character of many ofour representatives
at Washington, and from them could expect mo-
thing better than what have gotten, far the
navy is concerned. What part Charles Brown, Esq,
took in the late nearious performance not yet
prepared TO say. His constituents ale naturally ag-
tated on the subject, and anxious to know. We
about to enlighten them, but perceived that he
intended to publish ''card for the especial benefit
the finder bor, on the subject, and thought pro-
per- in order to be rgidy just to wait until we could
view both sides of the question: ere we gave our
opinion. We know one thing-that if Mr.. Brown
has really acted in this matter it is thought and
has really set the interests of the finder box at de-
fance, in order to affect any private political purpose
whatever, he may consider his fate sealed. He may
imagine himself sucide-a suicide for nothing too
and we would recommend to him the perusal of the
story of that British nobleman, who destroyed him
self while n full possession of every thing that could
make life desirable leaving it record that he COM
mltted the act only because he tired Of putting
his clothes on in the morning, and taking them off
again at night Nous perrons
P. s. We have just been favored by slip from the
Pennsylvania with Mr.. Browns letter-but too late
for publication to-day. We shall attend to it to-
morrow.
