awe ALBRIGHT GLAD, IN CASTING OUl
EYES OVER OUR GOVERNMENT AGENT
ABROAD, TO PERCEIVE THAT NOT a DE
The above declaration is from the pen Of Nj
Blair; i, may be found in the leading ed''ons
of the Globe Of yesterday, and affords ano'he
proof Of the settled determination Of that jour
nal to ruin the Democratic party before the mex
Presidential election, provided its dclalion shal
not be admitted to.
II is not true that no Democrats can be fount
among our diplomatic agents abrosd; slaves
the Globe, we presume, there are none-anli
Bank Jeffersonian Republicans, there are sew
eral
But the despicable and reasonable declara
lion of the Globe has been called forth on hearing
that number of changes would be made-lha
a number of able and distinguished Democrats
would be rendered appointments abroad; ant
that magnanimous Democratic journal is al
ready making preparations 10 ''excommunicate
,hem," "ride over them rough-shod," and
''drag them to the stake" il they should disre-
gard its dictation and accept office under John
Tyler, the Veto President
The Globe is " RIGHT GLAD" there are no De-
mocrats among our agents abroad OF course
when Mr. Blair cannot get the lions share Of
the loaves and fishes at Washington, he will moi
suffer any other Democrat to touch morse
abroad Not he. He is sovereign Dictator Of
the Democratic universe! No Democrat who
values his character and standing in the parry,
will now venture to accept foreign appoint
ment from the disciple Of Jeferson, who now
presides over the destinies Of the Republic
The Globe has spoken. 1t does not say thai
they shall not accept Office, in so many words
but it says it is "glad" no democrat is 10 be
found among Them" That is sufficiently sig
ni6cant and explicit. Its pleasure is signified
that there are none at present abroad. The
decree has gone forth. It's gladness would, as
a consequence, be converted into 1ordfh, IT De-
mocrats should now have the audacity to con-
sent to be made PIenipolentiary Ministers.
General Cass remained s'abroad" two years,
(and was not finally recalled } after Mr.. Tyler
became President, and the Globe did not dare
to attack him. Why should not others be as
fortunate2
But that the Globe may not have the oppor-
tunity to escape the responsibility incurred by
the declaration above, by averring that II only
meant to show that the President did not be-
stow such appointments on Democrats (but
why should Mr. Blair be "glad' of it?) we
here state that it was well aware that Mr.. Iy-
Ter had but feU political friends among the Co
vernment agents abroad. II knew that Mr.
Van Buren, had as many, if not more, sup
por,crs among them than Mr.. Tyler, and tina
Mr. Clay had more than all The rest of the can
didates put together 1t knew, or might have
known, that the relatives and friends Of some o.
these agents were constantly reviling the Pres
dent and striving 10 destroy the Administrator
paper. And know ing these things, it is as absurd
to attempt to injure the President by such declara
tons, ~ il was TO assail Mr.. Clay for his % bar
gain and corruption," when The editor him,el
was Mr.. C.'s active and confidential agent il
effecting that iniquitous arrangement.
The Globe 10 fright glad" there are not many
Democrats in Office abroad we admit il-ant
its gladness would be super eminently su
perlative, if the President would appoint non'
hereafter. Horribly corrupt itself, the GLOBE
supposes that if the President could be induce
to neglect the Democrats, they would, of course
submit unanimously TO its dictation for thu
mere promise of preferment under the Presi
dent IL intends 10 set over them. Such is It's esli
mate of the honesty Of the party which ha
enriched it.
On the other hand, its greatest fear is that thu
President, having called distinguished Demo
Gratis to his council-board, will very natural,
favor the patty to which they belong, as muci
as other Presidents have done in such cases.
And that would overthrow its Dictatorship
rend the chains asunder which it and It's utr'
co-laborers have been forging for the party
and ultimately restore to the sovereign PEoPLl
the privileges which the Constitution accorded
them.
The recent Cabinet appointments Of the Pre-
sident have shaken the dictatorial authority o
the usurping party leaders to its foundation
They have raised a storm Of Indignation in tn
North, against the intolerance of party ,yrants
which is destined to sweep over the Union.
We will conclude this article by number o
quotations from Democratic presses, on ihi
subject, which have reached US within the las
few hours:

MEsSRS HENSHAW AND NELSON
No sooner had the President called into his cabine
the Hon. David Henshaw, OF Massachus and tn
Hon. John Nelson, of Maryland, than these gentle
men we're made the objects Of most viruent attac
on the part of the Washington Globe. What was tn
reason Of thisi Was it because they not demo
or,tsi Certainly not; for we can hardly think Of
name that stands associated higher with the demo
cracy of New England than that Of David Hcnshaw'
