Van Bureaus party, aad many Of hi, 'par'issns

which is next in authority 10 the Globe-we
have sometimes been inclined 10 think submit
ted against its superior judgment, with The best
grace it could, 10 lis despotic will.
| We repeat that the Globe has unsparingly
abused the President and his friends, Tor more
| than year, in a more coarse, insulting, and In
excusable manner, Than even the Clay sheets
| Ii has declared repeatedly that his name should
not be considered in the Conventon--and the
Enquirer only intimales that if MIR. Tyler should
be the nominee of the Convention, il would go

| 10 infer that il might not abide by the decision
of the Convention, if there should be an indie

the President. from Clay papers for appointing
| Democrats to office--particulary in the case OF
| the Postmaster al Albany. II has denounced
| Democrats who accepted office, as renegades
and aposvates. Ii has directed and commanded
the Democratic party to repudia,e the friends OF

Democ attic candidate for the Presidency "per-
mlted the friends OF The Administration
TO rally in his support, tels and hun
dreds of thousands of honest Democrat.
would fold their arms, and suffer the Gov
ernment to fall into the hands Of ultra Federal
ism" And finally and lastly, and within The last
fortnight. 10 the name Of heparty, II has spurn
ed TYLER help for the next contest, and de-
creed that the friends Of The President shall be
"instantly repelled."
| And all this la, been ratified b. Mr.. Van Blu
rens man gers, who have succeeded, by all
kinds orindirection, andca machinery, in be-
slowing upon Mr. Blair the highest Office IN their
giG. We were nola candidate-and hence we
have no personal feeling in the matter. But
| there wer. other Democrats, faithful, consis-
tent and able as MIR. Blair, who had not wanton-
" vilIiied the President.
Under these circumstances we would not only
be mad, bu, devoid Of selfrespeci, if we could
hesitate a moment as TO the proper course for
us to pursue But the Enquirer need not fear
that we will desert our prince ples-we int nd TO
be more devoted 10 the principles OF Jefferson
than the Globe managers have become.
From the Gobr's union with the Cay prints
in the work of dvtraci ion--lrom Mr.. Van Blu
ren's yisi, to Ashland-and from other ndica-
ton. which we Will dwell upon at "more con-
venent seaso on" we believe that The workers OF
the Clay and Van Buren, machinery long since
mutually agreed 10 thrust back the strong men
Of their respective parties, and elevate the
W akest and least deserving. The last men,
if left to The PEoPLE, have become, by means
of party machinery, land reciprocal add the
first, among mere politicians. Clay and Van
Buen were compelled to aid each other, for the
nomination of one depended upon the nomina-
ton of the other. Should stronger man than
Clay be nominated, then stronger man than
Van Buren, must be nominated to beat him.-
They are the weakest men their respective par
ties could nominate hence their treaty at Ash
land 10 sustain each other, and hence the mys-
ferrous course of the Globe ever since that trea.
". Mr.. Van Buren, and the Globe have a an
duned the cardinal Democratic principle, that
the People should select their own candidates ;
and ihther like flock Of sheep. Instead OF Van
Buren, and the Globe, we are satisfied majority
of The party would prefer TO have as the candi-
date, Calhoun, Cass, Buchanan or Johnson
and as printer, Kendall or Bryant.
Under Mr. Van Burens Administration the
Globe r, ceived from The Peoples urea ury some
81, 500 for printing - a personal vindcation' OF
Cabinet Minister. We have MIR. KendaIl's
authority for this. 1t was contrary TO law and
in violation of tn. Constitution. II was a rob
bcry-an act, which. rather than qualifying a
man for the Presidency, would, under other cir
cumsunces, consign HIM to the penicntisry.-
! The "personal vndcationn alluded TO was
similar to the thousand, which appear il all oil
cial journals, and which are COZ led in all The pa
pers supporting the d,G rent administration
Mr.. Van Buren, might, on the same principe
have given (of the Peoples money! sl,500 tC
each OF the editors who copied the a'ticle from
the Globe. But the Globe says il also printed
it in pamphlet form. No matter--it was 'per
sonal vindicaton"-ind Mr.. Van Buren had NJ
more right to ray for it with the public money
than Mr.. Tyler would have to pay Us for punt
ing this article, and all the editors who nigh
choose 10 copy it, $500 each. The ollicia
records prove what we have said above TO b.
true.
The money wa. paid on the last day Of MI
Van Buren's Administration. II he did not ap
prove IL, it is incumbent on him to say so.
But we have neglected the Enquirer. w
assure the Enquirer that we do not intend 4
support Mr. Clay. The Globe despol, hav
thrust us out Of the Van Buren, party-for whlcl
We thank them-but not out Of the Democrat
party. No, indeed. We will now devote our
selves more assiduously than ever to Demo
