| n the Government, through its most deienceless
and tender point, the Executive Department,
unfet and harmless2 Or is the national honor OF
such low consideration with the editors of the
Globe, Cor The author of the article in question
whoever he may be,) that its maintenance is to
be disregarded, because further disgrace cannot
attach TO II 2 Or, lastly, do these genllepen
iiendlshly exut over the anticipated distress
and disgrace of the Administration and of the
country, because, forsooth they may be graf
med IN the furtherance of their party pieps
and projects.
We are confident that every true Republican,
every honest Democrat, will deprecate any
course of policy on the part of the newspapers
of the country calculated TO irritate, without
cause the British Government, or to make them
more insulting or imperious in their attitude to-
wards US, from an idea of our moral or physi-
cal weakness. What, inform the British Gov
eminent that the Secretary Of State for the Uni
ted States may be bribed-that the national no
nor may be purchased at the hands of the pre-
sent Administration, for gold, What other
and emolument can Mr.. Webster hold under
the English Government Would the Presi-
dent OF the United States exchange places with
the autocrat Of the Russias What inference
is TO be drawn from the language used, except
that the Administration, in the opinion Of the
editors of the Globe, is ready to sell the honor of
the country for goid2 Such suggestions or an
ticpaons reflect as little credit upon the hearts
as upon the heads of those who entertain them
Will not the moral sense of the entire people
revolt against such unnatural and dsgracetul
attacks upon the credit, and good faith and no
can only be palliated ON the ground of being the
spasmodic commissions of an aggrieved spirit,
gradually losing its warmth and its life.
Toward the latter end Of this coarse article,
an attack is covertly made on the President.
The language Of the attack was thus: eff il
be true, as it is believed, nay asserted, by many,
that Mr.. Tyler is mere cipher by the side OF
Mr. Webster" &c. SC What stuff! If Mr..
Tyler be a cipher, he is one Of those ciphers
which make 500 5000
We think the editors of the Globe, Democrats
as they pretend to be, radicals and distructves
as they are should be the last men in the world
10 accuse John Tyler of want Of capacity or
frmness TO do anyth ng he conceiyes to be right
No one in the country unless his faculties be SO
prejudiced as TO be entirely obtuse, either be
leves or asserts the President to be cipher -
On the contrary, every act of his Administra
tion, the prompt appointment Of his Cabnet, his
iortltude and unlerrlied conduct when he had
scarcely one man he could call his friend, his
message, hi pre- sent attitude before the coun-
try, his finance scheme, the impression which
his wise conduct has already made and is daily
making on the county, all with one acclai n
place him far above the reach of every such
contemplate insinuaton
Let the " Independent" and the Globe unite
in their policy and thunder away at the Adm
nisration. They fire blank cartridges, they
make great moi Sc and great smoke, but two
mice might just as well attempt to sunder the
Alps, or couple of ambitious larks to soar up
10 the moon, as for these two papers to make
any impression on the country against the Ad-
ministration by such senseless ribaldry as they
generally abound with.
The Administration SKIS TO be Judged by its
measures the country oppose this Just
requisite VIII the people prejudice the Ad-
ministration themselves or suffer others to do it
for them
