Mr.. Van Buren,.
We will quote that portion OF the Globes
editorial which struck us as being the most re-
markable, when viewed in connection wilh 'ts
previous course, and as indicating disposition to
drop Mr.. Van Buren,:
"Sucb frankness, carnesiness, and directness, are
seldom in political dealing. II IS perfectly cha-
racterislic of the man, who, with remarkable
warmth and strength IN his personal attachments, mas
vet higher zeal for the great public cause, when
enables him to sacrifice his most cherished wishes as
10 his duties as statesman. In this letter ne

tons in the South and submitted through our columns

cuogy of Mr.. Lewis, coming warm from ms hrhr''
will be apt to reach the hearts OF others than
the most fneIyargued address that could possibly DC

Mr.. Lewis, in the honesty of his heart, says,
q. if the same candidate chr. Van BUREN, is

of the very able" &c. And 'thc simple, IN

from his heart, will be more apt to reach the
hearts of others, than the most hnely-argued,"
&c.
Undoubtedly the Globe is Cat present. con"
vert. If the editor cannot kill of Mr.. Calhoun,
he thinks perhaps he can ride him. he WIN
leave any lame hobby to mount tall horse
But Mr.. Calhoun would, in our opinion, dash
him against the first stone found 10 his path.
We notice the shifting and turning of The
Globe, merely 10 show what little reliance
can be placed upon its support by any Of the
candidates for the Presidency It's former
professions of devotion TO the interests OF
Mr.. Van Buren,, can be repudiated with
out hesitation, or blush OF shame, when
lis recunlary interests may seem to beckon
il in another direction. IL is yet uncommltted
against Mr.. Clay; but we hope it will soon de-
fine its position irrevocably, and thenceforward
only combat The common enemy. BY so doing
its sincerity cannot be questioned, al least with
SO much proprely and justice as on the PRESENT
occasion.
We shall support the present incumbent in
preference 10 every other man but we will ne
yer assail any of his rivals in the same wanton
spirit that characterzes the Globe. We will
not retort its Unjust ce on lis favorile candi-

Mr. Clay. We shall advocate The claims OF the
man we prefer, because we think his claims are
the best; and cause we believe majority of tho
People will rally in his favor. IL we should be

in duty bound. and continue our fe against the
common enemy.

port of Mr.. Tyler for the Presidency, we cannot
see any benefit likely to result from coarse and
vulgar attacks on his Democratic rivals. Hence,
we repeat we do no, think it good policy for the
journals friendly TO The President TO ieiort the
Globes attacks on Mr.. Van Buren,. We do not
know that Mr. Van Buren, is pleased to see
any Of the journals advocating his claims.

Thousands who supported him in 1910 have
since been estranged by the impression that the
