cans in that State, as recently manifested by their
proceedings in convention. They declared a
preference for no particular candldate-bul
would have nominated Mr.. Woodbury. had
he desired II.
And. finally, The Globe assaults Gov. Porter,
aud threatens Gov. Bouck, of New York, and
Gov Shannon, of Ohio. Truly this is pro-
noting the "union and harmony of the party
with vengeance. None of these Governors,
that we are aware of. have committed them
denounced him, and such an omission will moi
be pardoned by the Globe.
And now, in all seriousness, we warn The
Globe to retrace lis steps, and glide IN harmony
on the broad, deep and uncomfortable stream Of
pure Democracy. Ii cannot turn the current,
or ev breast it for moment. If it opposes
its course, il must sink TO the bottom. Having
volunteered to fight the battles OF Mr.. Clay
against President Tyler, instead of hurting lis
baltle-axe against the common enemy, II is ma
turally dstrusted by many OF lis old patrons
1t is sholn Of its locks-ts power Is gone IN a
great measure-and its ll-advised opposition to
this Administration only acceleraies It's ruin
A Democratic Administration will have the sup
port of the Democracy in spite of thousand
Globes.
If the edi or of the Globe will only reflect
moment, he cannot fail TO see III all his che
rlshed schemes are doomed TO fail. Let nm
reflect how impotent were his endeavors to rem
der the recent Treaty unpopular; how futile
the attempt to get majority of the Democratic
members of the last Congress to make a
caucus declaration in favor of Mr. Van Buren, !;
the lni cradle failure TO adopt November as the
time for the assembling OF the Convention !;
the ominous oblivion into which Mr.. Van Bu-
rens letter to the -of-sraw Indiana commit
tee, has fallen; the eguvocal position of those
men straw, and the well grounded suspicion
attached to the recent conferences with Them /;
the silence Of The press, when invoked by
them to respond to their ''teeler" which they
recently put forth in the Globe; and, finally, the
general disgust produced by the recent estab-
lishment of 'branch of the Glote," in St.
Louis, to aid Mr.. Benton in putting out of the
way all OF Mr.. Van Buren's rivals fer the next
succession.
If the editor Of the Globe will reflect on the
tendency Of these symptoms, he cannot fail to
see that his hopes are doomed to disappoint-
nent-unless, indeed, he can make transit into
heClay ranks, and carry along Democrats enough
o elect him. But we question whether the
Globe could take away as large slice of the
'arty a, it is striving to drire away By abusing
President Tyler and his friends.
If the Globe could compel the Democratic
,arty 10 reject the support of the friends of the
Administration at the ensuing Presidential
election, we doubt whether it would win any
hanks for it afterwards.
But it is frivolous to dwell on such theme.
Neither the Globe nor any other print can d.
vide the Democratic panty. We care nothing
Tor the Globes abuse Of the President, since the
great mass of the party is disposed 10 accord
lin ''fair chance" This is all he asks, or
ais friends for him. His friends, of course,
prefer him to any other man; but they do not
demand that the friends of his opponents shall
prefer him. They will not assail his rivals, un-
ess they assaiI him because, falling in their
irst choice, they intend TO unite on one Of his
ivals. They do not entertain the determlna-
ion to Support him and nobody else !" they will
succeed with him if they can, and this may be
relied on but if they be disappointed in having
him as their candidate, they will prefer any true
Republican to Mr. Clay. Hence we regard the
Globes assaults on the President and his trends,
as nothing less than assaults on the Democrat
tic party; and we consider its eagerness TO
unite with the Clay prints in vilifying this Ad-
minis,raton. a desire TO curry .tduor rih the
Bank Uhigs in the nert Congress.
