THE CHEW ALIER BLAIR.

THE CHEVALIER BLAIR.
We copy the following article from the Globe.
We invoke The serious attention Of The People
10 its contents:
"'rhat war with Great Britain, or disgraceiul sub
mission 10 the loss of territory, and the invasion of
our ships, the alternatives which lie before MS
aud with such alternatives, who can feel safe with
saoA a Cabinet at the head Of American affairs In
the next Congress, the Democracy must have ma
joritythat point is settled and the Tyler purchases
of the renegades who desert it will purify and
strengthen, not weaken 1t. The next Congress will
be Democratic. The Democracy will be the majo-
rity. They will be responsible curious specta
Gle will be presented Congress will be responsible;
and yet Congress will have no control the
rent affairs, which will be entirely in the hands Of the
Administration! Foreign relatons-the execution
Of the laws--the application of moneys-the en-
poyment of all agents--w be in the hands of the
Administration and such an Administration! The
idea OF what must happen, cannot but fill every friend
to the country with disquet; it must bring the Dem
ocracy TO the most serious consideration Of their du-
ties to themselves, well as to their country.
If Mr.. Tyler had any part of the patriotism which
belongs to British ministry (either Wing or Tory
| for no ministry in England goes against the people,
when the people have elected Parliament adverse
to them if MIR. Tyler had any part of this patriot
ism, he would dismiss his whole Cabinet the instant
the new elections were over consign the administra
ton of affairs to Democratic hands content himself
with signing papers, like Queen Victoria and let
| power and responsibility go together. This would
save the Democratic Congress from the perils which
attend body without head--or, rather, body with
hostile head. But this is not to be expected from
him. Feeble himself, surrounded by renegades from
| all parties-a famshed intent upon plumber ;
and the more intent, because their lease is so short
and miserable aduators in every office to hold on TO
the last mnuteit not to be supposed that he can
dismiss Cabinet condemned by the people, or that
they can rise to the dgnity-not Of British Wing
ministers, but even of British Tory ministers-by
UNFAIRLY retiring from posts for which the result of
the elections show them to be lin the opinion Of the
people, unworthy or unfit"
We take occasion TO allude particularly TO one
or two sentences in this compound of epiheic
nolhingness and assafoe,da, and call the solemn
and earnest attention Of the People 10 these
expressions
First. The Globe says: "The idea of what
must happen cannot fail 10 fill every friend TO the
country with disgust it must bring the Demo
crazy 10 the most serious consideration of their
duties TO themselves, as well as to the county,
Now we call on the Chevalier Blair for direct
answer. Does he, or does he not mean that this
dark sentence shall convey a threat Of i'm
parchment against The President? OF course
what he means, as the miserable editor Of
pa'try newspaper, is a matter of no con-
sequence at all. We wish TO know whose
sentiments Blair represents in this matter
We call on the Richmond Enquirer to consi-
der the language and 10 note the answer. liza
threat is meant 10 be conveyed 10 the President,
we beg leave TO say 10 both the writing editors
of the Globe, that the believing OF all the ''Bulls
and Heifers" in the world can only occasion the
Presidents absolute contempt. We have this
answer to make: John Tyler is determined to
win for the People or perish with the People.
Second. The Globe says Z" If Mr. Tyler has
any part Of this patriotism, he would dismiss
his whole Cabinet the instant the elections are
over-consign the administration of affair."
TO Democratic hands content himself lriA
signing papers like Queen Iicioria," &c. &c.
We have no jest with which 10 meet this dis
gusting sentiment" Content himself with
signing papers like QueenVicloia!n Great Cod
Has it come to this, that an organ claiming
TO be Democratic thus announces bis conception
of the duties which aprerlsin to The Office Of Pre-
sdent fthe United Slatcs7 Was he, the officer
and servant Of the great People, the most efiec-
tive guardian Of the Constitution and laws, I'M
der oath, the President of the United States,
intended by our fathers as puppet, "a Queen
Victoria" in the Presidential chair And has
it come TO this pass, that in the fury Of party, a
Chief Magistrate is 10 be threatened with i'm
parchment, II he consents not 10 do h,s7 We
call the attention Of the Richmond Enquirer TO
this language, aud we distinctly desire 10 know
il the veteran editor for whom we entertain a
vast deal Of respect does not reprehend such
sentments.
II may well, too, prove a matter Of wonder 10
the country, that after his Trades about Wal
pole, and Queen Anne, and BRUSH corruption
and British gold, that Benton should now desire
in the most important and highest places Of the
Government the British system to be intro.
duced. Let the people judge.
