1.-THE GREAT GLOBE ITSELF AND ALL
THAT 1T INHERIT

Tae Globe newspaper still continues It's al
lacks upon the Administration, with moderate
venom as regards its measures, with fierce as
saulI upon the men who ill the chief oiilces
Against them il charges the henous SIN OF
Federalism, and would make the President re-
sponsIble for all the early errors OF his coadJu-
tors. The Secretary of Stale, particularly,
serves distinguished target for the sharp
shooting Of the cunning editor; he it is, who,
according TO the Globe, is Fame damne, the
condemned spirit OF the Executive Council
the fallen Lucifer, still dreadful, from his well
remembered powers.
The editor Of the Globe has an unusually fe-
licitous memory he recollects only those events
and circum stances, which serve the selfish pur-
poses Of his feigned zeal and forgets others,
no less decided, which initiate against the OBJ
ject of his wishes. In endeavorng to repre-
sent President Tyler as under the control Of
Federal influences, because one distinguished
individual, formerly of that school Of politicians
holds a seat in his Cabinet, he passes blindly
over the fact, or rather conveniently forgets II,
that President, whose political orthodoxy the
Globe has ever maintained, and dares not now
deny, called to his Cabinet, as suited his incli-
nation, any Federalist he pleased to invite. In
| his holy horror of heterodoxy why did not he Of
| the Globe censure Andrew Jackson for the ap
| pointment of Mr.. Mel Lane TO his Cabinet Did he
then think the mantle of office, like charity,
covered multitude Of sins 2 or did he hold that
the bull of the Father of the Church, in bes-
towing benefce, cleansed Of all impurities
and made of catechumen, nay, it may be,
of an impenitent sinner, a holy, sn-for-
| giving Cardinal Did the Globe man main
tan that it was the privilege Of any one
man or set of men to prescribe tests of
ders in Council, by self-constituted synods,
communicate, or restore TO primitive purity
When the Globe man boasts of the peculiar
| sanctity of his waters as means of purfca-
tion we shall be tempted to exclaim, with the
| Syrian King, but with more reason, "are not
ALBANIA and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, as
pleasant as any of the rivers OF Israel % For
we deny that the editor of the Globe, or the
housing politicians with whom he consorts,
have any pretensions to inspiration, or approach
the prophetic Slbyl in any other resemblances,
| than grotesque contorlions of the countenance,
and occasional unnteligbe jargon. Not his
assistance, nor such defenders, does the
democracy require: it goes back to the pure
waters lis renowned progenitors imbibed--
and, fresh in their original beauty, it gladly
halls the virgin principles of an untarnished
faith The day of the Globe man has passed
away like forgotten idea the tripod from
which he once uttered credited words, serves
| but as an article Of superAuous furniture-and
the rod with which he once guided the willing
| mind, is now a " barren sceptre in his grasp
or rather Disseminated stick which can cas,i-
gate none, who more richly deserve it, than its
| former holder.
We will ask, in great kindness, the editor Of
| that paper to read the signs Of the times. He
| now stands, like the foolish rustic, who waits
for the river TO flow past him, before he crosses.
There is an eternal cycle Of human principles,
which revolve in different orders, though radi-
cally the same. The order now presented, and
| which surely the irrevocable words of fate
must rule the political world is the one first
established at Monticello: the requisite series
Of suns have completed their revolutions since
its early introduction. Other systems have
temporarily deranged its prespects-but the ne
cessary course of events has once more restored
its supremacy, and the faithful rejoice therefor
with singleness of heart.
Will the editor OF the Globe join us in this
Jubilee of our faith, or will he, as perhaps is
more appropriate, starry at Damascus, till his
| beard is grown"
