The Globe, in apologizing for having chron-
cled. through mistake, some Democrat rs bought
up by Capt. Tyler, says:
l' distressing us to bc compelled to believe
that tine seduction OF office had prevailed him.

80 IL seems, that the Democracy are still given
10 the old trick OF being bought up MANY of
high Standing - Well. It's distressing but
what's the remedy To adhere TO the spoils of
office is the first human principle which is taught
TO every Democrat He is brought up TO believe
that Office and its perqiSitcs are the true aims of
the pu- patriot; and he feels himself very little
better than traitor to his country, until he has
acquired the privilege Observing tina, country. and
remuneratng himself for his labourS out of the
public crib. The Globe must go back TO first
principles. and unteach lis disciples what has been
taught to them. 1t should impress upon its follow.
Grs that there some higher duties dcvolyiug on
the citizen than the official plumber of his country.
Until this is accomplished, it will have frequent
cause to rebukc brother for running the De-
mOcratc doctrines in extremes" and To lament his
detection from the cause OF Truth. Ii would be
unnatural for the Spells Party, in ITS unregencr;te
condition, to resist the temptations of office The
Wings passed the ordeal nscathed: but the De-
mocrats can't do 1t. Ii must have been a know.
ledge of that fact, which induced the Captain to
renOunce the Wings, and address himself to the
Democracy. The one were proof against all his
destinations; the other knew no higher principles
than Office and the means to win it.
The Captain displayed unwontcd sagacity in this
proceeding; and although he deserved to be I'M
pea he'd, as the Wings proposed to do for using the
public money to dcbauch the pure Democracy; the
Globe has TO right to complain--ior it resisted the
Wing effort to punish this political maleactor, and
arrest the dcluge ofcorruption, which he was pour
ing upon the country. If he buys up the whole
Of the Democracy, it will be righteous retrbu-
ton for the corntcnance, which the Democratic
leaders gave him, when arraigned by Mr. Bolts
