HARMONY.

,tatesman. and hence we would not see him
proscribed. "denounced without reserve" and
cut off from all possibility OF again attaining the
Presidential chair Nor would we see Mr.. Cal
houn. nor MIR. Buchanan, nor Col. Johnson,
nor Gen Cass, &c, &c, attained and outlaw
ed, merely because we may prefer another man.
II any free citizen Of our Republic deems it
proper, or rather, il il should be his pleasure,
10 enlist under the banner Of either OF them;
and even if he had hitherto been uniform and
consistent advocate Of the present Republican
Chief Magistrate Of the nation, we ask, in all
caador, if we would be juslifiable IN decounc-
ing him as a renegade" ard an "aposlale 2"
We ask if any journal possesses the right TO
sugmatize with such offensive ep,hets, the
free American citizen who follows the bent of
his own judgment in casting his vote Tor Pre-
sident of the United Sta'es2
II, then, each distinguished statesman of the
Republic is privileged TO possess the Presiden-
tial Chair, if the People see proper TO elect him
If every American citizen possesses the I'M
doubted right to vote for the man Of his choice
then we submit il to the country if Mr.. TYLER
deserves to be DISTINGUISHED, and ostracised, for
The services he has rendered the Republic, and
the Republican party, any more than any OF the
above named pentlemen-by the Globe and Mr.
Benton7
Mr.. TYLER cannot be elected without the
votes of The People-lhat is certain. If the
People do not vote for him, esnno, see how
he is TO be elected. The Globe may perhaps
see how it's 10 be done, and lis grauitous
pledge 10 "denounce him without reserve"
would seem TO indicate that there really was
some way to get elected without the aid Of the
People. Yet if the PEOPLE should see proper
10 vote for hin, and to elect him, we should
like TO know what right the Globe has to pre-
rent it, But if there is actually No other
way to &c, elected Pre- sidenl but by the votes Of
the People lift be true that there is no possibility
Of Mr.. Tyler's election unless the People should
be in favor of him and if it be equally certain
that all the Globes in the world cannot prevent
his election, if majority Of The People desire
it-then we are decidedly of the opinion thai
the whole matter had better be left 10 the Peo-
pie themselves, TO act upon il as they may see
proper.
We cannot find the section in The ConsiiIu-
tion which eonfes The power On The Globe 10

Taiiiy and justice may be extended to him,
uhieh ihsV are willing TO award to any Of the
distinguished gentlemen named in the first para
graph Of this article. But we would not be I'M
dersioOd as asking anything of the Globe We
believe that journal would advocate the cleo

often corupung Congressional Printing could be
secured.
But our purpose was 10 endeavor TO impress
upon the Republican party the vital impor-
lance of HARMONY at this particular juncture
We have information which may be relied on,
that the Clay Whigs-erulting in the belief
that serious differences are likely 10 occur nav
already exist, in the Democratic ranks in most
Of the States-are now quietly ralying for a
desperate struggle. At the coming elections
they will muster their whole strength, and, en-
couraged by the fancied divisions among their
opponents, will make vigorous push for victo-
Iy And if their an,cipa,ions Of .quauelsn
and collisions" should unfortunately be real
lied, there is some danger that they will again
have the ascendency in the next Congress
Hence IL every Republican editor, when
about to assail any OF the rival candidates for
the Presidency, would only throw his pen in the
fre-and If every Republican candidate would
not only strive TO unite the Democratic voter.
by abstsining from calling them "reneqades"
and "Iposates." because they may be friendly
10 President Tyler, but likewise seek to copel-
ate and win over as many anti Bank Vhirs as
possible, to the cause, then the Republic could
not possibly be placed in danger
As for our bull-hght with the Globe here in
the District, where no elections are held. we
will throw aside our blade when the furious ami
NAL ceases to attack us, or as soon a. our poin,
shall have penetrated its spine. But we pro,
mise not to hold any Of the aspiranrs response |
bic for its brutal conduct We are not assured
that It acts by the authority OF any Of them. |
We are inclined 10 be convinced that il is not
20 authorized, inasmuch as the great family of
Democratic editors merely maintain the atti-
ude of silent spectators. Only one or two erie.
