THE ULTRAs, AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
In the above extract from the Globe, which is both
the guide and the text book Of certain class Of po-
litcians in this country, there is AN unintentional
clmplmcnt of the highest kind paid 10 President Ty-
er which is the more valuable, because it is unnten-
tonal. We allude to the charge preferred against
him of seeking to have "a moderate administration "
and of bringing together men of opposite political
opinions, TO aid him in carrying the Government.
We do not believe that this will be considered by the
great mass of the people Of this country, otherwise
than as evidence of grea, wisdom and patriotism,
whatever may be thought Of by the hgh-toned poll
ticians OF any political party "The Gobe' lives in a
heated political atmosphere and abide nothing of
any less temperature than itself EVERY thing must be
up TO eyer heat" aud whatever is ''moderaten in
tolerable. II is not with the great body of the
people; they may sometimes be temporarily ex-
cited, and then the violent, thorough
going, and even proscrptve is the policy
the more popular. But they soon get cool
ed again, and then violence and prescription
are unsuitable to their feelings and odious. The
moderate course Of President Tyler is in our iudg-
ment exactly in accordance with the present state of
public feeling and public opinion and will 90 very far
indeed towards making his Administration very popu-
lar with the American people. Who does not re-
member the memorable advice given by General
Jackson TO President Monroe in relation to forming
his Cabinet? To Danish the monster party-spirit
was the advice of the Hero of New Orleans; to con-
stitute his Cabinet out of both the great parties to
admit the prescribed Federal Party into the high
Executive ofices,-this was the wise, sagacious and
magnanmous advice which he gave to the new Pre-
sident And it was this advice which had no small
influence in making him the successor of Mr.
Monroe, for it brought almost the whole Federal
party of the Southa large proportion Of it in the
middle States, and no inconsderabe number of East
ern Federaliss, into the ranks of his supporters
And after his election he proved that he had moral
courage enough to put that line of policy into sue
cessful practice which he had the honesty and the
sagacity to recommend to one of his predecessors
For amongst the high Offices which he conferred up
on old federalists, he introduced two of them into
his Cabinet,-Messrs. Mclean and Drayton another
Mr. Wilkins, he sent as Minister 10 Russia and an
other, Judge Baldwin, he placed upon the Bench of
the Supreme Court.
And yot for pursuing line Of policy thus recon.
mended and thus practised upon by General Jack
son, the Globe the thorough-going and most undeyi-
atIng supporter of General Jackson reproaches and
would ostracise President Tyler is Il Justice is
II conslstency,-is 1t common sense-to denounce
John Tyler for doing that which il not only defend
ed, but aPpauded Andrew Jackson for doing The
course OF things since the accession of President w.
Ter has tended very much to unsette former parties
and at the present time it would be very difficult to
draw any line which shall clearly separate the people
of the United States into two parties, and two par
ties only
Take the great question of the Tariff for Instance
and any line which be drawn will throw political
parties into confusionMr. Calhoun will be found on
one side of that line, and Mr. Van Buren, on the 9TH
err Virginia is one way, and Pennsylvania is diamet-
REALLY opposite Take the question of National
Bank, and see how that will work with the other
great political party. MIR. Clay is still for such
Bank, and made shipwreck of the Harrison Cabinet
and OF the Wing party in order to gel one Mr.
Webster, on the other hand, expressly states that
such an institution can obsolete idea" and no doubt
considers that it is no longer TO be thought Of
On that question Kentucky is one way, and
probably at this time Massachusetts is the 9th
er. Many such questions might be adduced
which will go to prove that the line of demarcation
between parties is very confused one, and unless
we greatly mistake the "signs of the times" events
are dly drawing to head, and men are taking
such new positions, that will be almost oblite
rated AT any rate it is very evident that the "mod-
crate" course of President Tyler, which the hot
headed Globe so rebukes, is exactly the course
which all sensible men, and all true patriots as well
as all sagacous politicians, will justify and applaud
President Tyler for pursuDg.-.N II. Courier.
