IL NEW MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

The Globe very compIacently reckons all the
Democratic members Of the next Congress, as
so many sheep of its peculiar and exclusive
fold, and inlimates that none of them will treat
the President in friendly and liberal manner
in their political capacity.
Now we have the very best authority 10 know
that majority of them are determined 10 ex-
ercise their own discretion as regards their
friendship Tor the fresiueu, aud .ir~ii suPPo', vi

means OF knowing that many who are the
avowed advocates of Mr. Van Buren's cleo
lion in 1914, have resolved nevertheless to ex-
tend liberal support to the Republican mea
sures which the Chief Magistrate may recon-
mend 10 Congress. and to reciprocale the .cour-
tesy which has uniformly been exercised by MIR.
Tyler towards Mr.. Van Buren, as well as the
res, of the distinguished individuals who have
been spoken of in connection with the Presi-
dency. Even MIR. Van Buren, himself, we ven
ture to say, not standing in fear of the Globes
analhemas nor feeling the necessity of follow
ing the example of that intoerant print in its
coarse ribaldry and vulgar denuncialions, enter

lations existing between all the other disin-
guished candidates and the President.
Hence we are quite positive in the assertion
that The Globe is doomed to Notifying disap-

repugnant to their feelings as honorable men
and highly detrimental TO their interests as
politicians. There may not be many among
them avowed Tyler men-men who prefer Mr..
Tyler for the Presidency above all others: but
as Democrats, we fancy they intend to treat
with becoming respect and proper consideration
the Democrat who occupies the exalted station
of Chief Magistrate of the nation.
The Globe will doubtless learn that among
the Democrats elected to Congress, not one Of
them "spurned" the support Of the friends OF
,hs Administration at the polls. 1t will also
learn that among the ~:
dency there is not one but would gladly receive
the aid of Mr.. Tyler's friends in the hour OF
need.
But the Globe may be assured that the act oil

and rejoicing through the Republic ranks in

tracts from The columns of the Globe, found
vent in the roar Of artillery-gleaming boa6re.

be properly appreciated and rewarded by just
and generous People. No vilifcation can OBJ
