THE GLOBES ATTACK ON THE ADMINS
TRATION.

TRATlON.
We have no little curiosity to see what press
es and politicians will follow the Globes lead in
its gratuitous and unjust against the Ad-
ministration. We are anxious to see what eff
feet it will produce.
The following is an extract of letter from a
Democratic member of Congress, in the inter-
or Of New York, to the editor, dated November
Sd: "AH is going 1ceH in this State for Pre-
silent Tyler Mr.. Spencer's letter has done
him immense good. We shall do epery thing
zoe can for the administration, DC. &c"
In relation to Mr.. Spencer, among the hun
dredS of favorable notices in our Democratic
exchange papers, we select because it comes
from his own Slate) the following notice Of his
recent letter:
From the Penn Yam Democrat
JOHN C. SPENCER AND THE CLAY WINGS.
We have read, with much satisfaction, the letter
of Hon. John G. Spencer, in answer to addressed
to him by citizens of Roches ter. Its great length
occupying columns of close type of the Roch-
ester Daily Advertiser, precludes the possibility of
its Insertion IN our paper. Tins we much regret for
most sincerely wish that it in pow, r to
give it entire to our readers. For if the Clay Wings
u
forth If they have particle of regard to truth and
honesty, this exposition Of the Secretary of War
would touch their hearts. The bold and many way
in which he speaks of HIMSELF and the clear and lu-
cid manner in which he defines his position, we ad-
mre There is frankness and honesty about it
which strongly commends itself to every lover of
truth. How contemplate does it make the Clay
Wings appear, and how broadly does it draw in
trast the independent consistent Of President
Tyler, with the vindicve and dishonest course of
the Clay portion of the Wing party
Most opportune does this clear and forcible de-
fence of Mr. Ty lers administration come for there
is doubt that thousands of honest have been
misled by the vituperation, abuse, and scurrty
heaped on the President by the Clay press and the
Clay orators, all the State This letter of the
Secretary will open the eyes of those who have been
blinded, and will go great way in correcting the
misrepresentation, and refute the falsehoods which
have been industriously circulated in regard to
| John Tyler and his Administration. Much as we
have heretofore approved and applauded the conduct
of the President-much as we had admired his firm
and consistency, we confess that we had not full
Nv appreciated the worth of the President until after
reading the letter of John c. Spencer. 1t is plea
SAINT to turn away from the turmoil of political
strife and contemplate the efforts of patriot states
man in his anxiety to serve his country. We mis-
take much if the Administration of John Tyler is
not long favorably remembered for the amount of
good il has and viii accomplish for the whole coun-
try amidst all the abuse of aspiring demagogues
and the ridiculous slang Of the Clay presses in heir
efforts to traduce and Willy him. 1 rue to his early
love- and faithful TO his ongcherished principles he
will go on fulfilling the duties which have devoved
upon him-not as the President of party-not as
the designing tool of few dishonest and ambitious
men but as the Chief Magistrate of great and free
people and the great mass will approve his doings
and will rally around and sustain him. Truth will
brush away the fog which has been thrown around him
aud the load of calumny which the Clay leaders
have endeavored 10 cast upon him, will be hurled
back with redoubled effect upon themselves. "Whom
the Gods wish TO destroy they first make mad is an
adage peculiarly applicable to the Clay party at the
prt sent time. An hon st man, in this land Of intel
iigence and free inquiry, be put down by
SANDER and deception Although il may for sea-
son obscure and hide the truth yet the lies and
abuse will return to torment those who invented and
propagated them. i his fact the Clay faction has
closed their eyes upon true to their old Federal in
stncts, they have entirely disregarded The ntelli-
gence of the people, and it appears they have yet to
learn that unme sured abuse, mpanied with such
epithets as " Judas Iscarot," - Benedict Arnold
sc. will never destroy the reputation of honest
man. The American people not to be humbug-
ged and bamboozled by such course nor will John
Tyler be dsgraced by epithets like these.
In this letter OF the Secretary the headers of
the President are put to rout at every poit Of at
tack and by facts too which cannot be controvert-
ed Every accusation which has been made against
the Clay faction at Washington is fully confirmed
With reference TO the charge of seishness ambi-
tious motives in sending in his second veto to the
Bank Dill, spencer alluuth 10 n TACT, Wnlcn he
says has been long known TO him, which has been
promulgated in the newspapers and stated "by au
thortun by Repr, sentative in Congress. What fol-
lows we will give in his own W rds
rhat fact is that previous TO returning the second
Bank bill TO Congress with his objections, in full
view of the assaults to be made upon him, and with
the purpose of removing all cause of agitation, as
well as to secure himself against unjust imputaons,
the President submitted to his then Cabinet whether
he should in the message then about TO be transmit
ted TO Congress, announce resolution TO retire from
public life at the expiration of the existing term and
that against his doing so, all The members Of the Cabinet
then present protested that had right to expect
such step from him, as he had not been elected
President and no obligation existed that should in
terpose any barrier between him and direct vote Of
the people"
And yet the aiders anu abetters Of the very men
who thus advise him, charge that the Presidents OBJ
iect has been TO be candidate for the Presidency
MIR. Spencer further remarks
"In connection and yet in contrast with that pro-
ceeding is another fact of an extraordinary charac
ter which, though known by many, has lately been
distinctly promulgated 1t is Swallowed in a letter of
