THE CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING.

has been detected in inhcuDg disaster ON the
many that il might serve only itself when II has
been proven on oath, aud that TOO by one Of the
parties interested, that the editor OF apaper pro
Tossing 10 be the organ OF great and magnani-
nous party, agreed 10 pay certain sum 10 SUD
ordinate officer of the Government Tor securing
10 him an enormous job OF printing ana
thereby maniesling Willingness TO reflect as
grace on The party whose integrity he should
seek 10 preserve; and when, Notwithstanding
these fragrant instances OF disrepulable conduct,
which are known to all men, such journal had
the presumption To assume the control ana su-
perysorship Of the Democratic par.y--nay'
more, when il lmpudenty arrogated the bearing
OF dictator, being supported, perhaps urged on
by Senator who was deeply interested in lis
welfare, aud hestated not TO sligmatise every
member Of the great Democratic family, who
yielded an honorable support to an upright ke-
publican Chief Magistrate, as "renegdde,"
and f" denounced, without reserve" the Presi-
dent who countenanced such honest men as be-
came Disguised at the prohigatc tyranny OF the
deliberately considered, il became an imperative
duty 10 "cry aloud and spare not"
| But the whole is not yet told. The selfish
schemes of the Globe and Mr., Benton are deep
and complicated, as well as unwaranled and
disingenuous Their first and greatest object
is to secure the printing; their next and MINOR
desire is 10 secure the election Of Mr.. Van Blu
rem, who, really, should be much obliged to
them--provided they do not commit too many
errors in his name, so as to njure his prospects,
by exhibiting "a suspicious zeal in his behalf
and we doubt not that Mr. Benton though he
does love money, would also like TO be Secrela-
ry of State, and then President of the United
States for eight years, after Mr.. Van Buren's
term.
But "a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush )" and the Globe aud Mr. Benton feel as
sured that they have only TO pursue their pre-
sent course to make sure of the printing next
winter.
i And what is their course II being appa-
rent tina, the Republican party will have a ma
|jority in the next Congress, and that Mr.. Van
old party machinery such as the leading press
es, many of the Office holders, the leaders Of the
County and State Democratic organizations
formed during his Administration, the cores
pondng committees, &c. &c.-they naturally
cling to the fat sage of Underwood )" and ha-
4 wing constituted themselves his managers, as
sumo, IN THE NAME OF THE PARTY, 10 guide and
govern all its affairs.
Il Preferring Mr.. Van Buren, to any Of the
! other distinguished statesmen, they yet prefer
the printing even to Mr. Van Buren,. Hence
although il is as obvious TO them as il is &c
tween this and the assembling of the Conven-
ZION, contributes 10 crumble and weaken the
personal organization that survived the Water.
! loo affair OF 1910, and that The remoler the pc
Rod, the remoter will be the chances of "nomi
! nation"-yet The Globe and Mr.. Benton, still
preferring the printing to the President, have
not openly broken ground in favor of November
next, the Time fixed by the Richmond Conven'
ton for the National Convention to meet. They
dare not oppose the wishes Of Calhoun, Cass
Johnson, and Buchanan, who desire the meeting
of the Convention TO be fixed at as remote day
as possible, until the printers are elected
When they are elected printers, three out Of the
: four above named gentlemen will be read OUT
: as renegade democrats"
The moment they secure the printing, Mr.
, Benton will "start" for the Premiership. If III,
!. FIVE distinguished statesmen whom he will iber
o oppose openly should be too strong for him
e Mr. Van Buren, should not get the nomination.
: then he will rush into the arms cf Mr.. Clay. /
. is notorious here that reconciliation was effect
( ed between them before Mr.. Clay left Washing
D ton, preparatory for such an event Besides
J they were never as much cmbittered sgains
each other as Mr.. Benton was against Genera
e Jackson.
/ But at present IT is evidentthat the Globe anC
+ Mr.. Benton consider President Tyler the great
est obstacle in their way. They fear him most
0 Seven or eight thousand Democrats met togerhe
u the other ~ and proclaimed him TO be their frs
" choice. No such Convention has nomi
' mated Mr.. Van Buren,. Hence the rabi,
II and incessant attacks Of the Globe ant
j. Mr.. Benton on the President No kind Of trick
+ cry is likely TO induce the Presidents friends Il
:, aid in making the Globe and Mr.. Benton prin
d tiers. Therefore every Democratic friend h
G gains, is a clear loss to them Hence they cal
n them "renegades" This is the plan they adop
TO deter all Democrats from sustaining Presi
e dent Tyler II they countensnce the Presi
:. dent, they are denounced without reserve" Al
, "renegades" This is the secret why The Glob,
;, and Mr.. Benton have laJored constantly TO pre-
vent Democrats from accepting seals in tn,
Cabinet All the world knows how the,
pounced down on the new Secretary Of War
who is as true a Democrat as ever lived. The,
