honors him for having settled the long pend
ing difficulties with England" We thank Inc
Mercury for such disnterested expressions
We thank il the more heartily inssmuch as the
Globe and Mr. Benton are endeavoring
TO suppress all favorable opinions on the hrsl'
and are denouncing the last as dlshonorable. we
are well aware that the high-minded and truly
honorable Senator whose elevation TO the IRE
sidency the Mercury so ably advocates Dore an
important part in defence of the Treaty when
il was assailed on political grounds in the
Senate. and in great danger of being rejected
merely to answer the ends Of party. Its saliva
lion, perhaps, may be attributed TO his gigantic
exerlions. And 10 this fact may be attributed
the insidious and enyenomed hostility OF Mr..
Benton, who is determined to pursue the Carroll
man to the death his o,on political death we hope
And we trust the day will arrive when our pen,
humble as j, is, shall be devoted to the cause
of the great Southern Senator VI course
we can look neither TO the right nor the Jeff I'M
I'll full and ample justice is awarded the present
incumbent of the Presidential chair-that JUS
TICE Will be awarded In lo4f.
But while pursuing the course thus indicated,
we see neither advantage nor reason in assall-
ing any of the rivals of our favorite, who have
not assailed him. MIR. Clay has assailed the
President personally, as well as politically. OF
course he is not entitled TO any immunity, un
Ill he atones for his offences. But President
Tyler has never been attacked by Mr.. Van Buren,
or Mr. Calhoun II is true, some of the friends of
each of them have done SO, but how are we to
know that it meets their appreciation? We
know that ndiscreet friends, however jealous
they may be, often nfllct greater injury than
enemies. Such has undoubtedly been the
case with the Globe and Mr.. Benton
They have vilifed aud slandered the
Chief Magistrate without measure; and
this has dimmed Mr.. Van Buren's prospects
more than nylhng else could have done. The
numbers of the Globe containing the most abu-
sive articles, were circulated extensively in New
Jersey. 1t was intended by the Globe and Mr..
Benton to make the first earnest demonstration
in that State. And what has been the result ?
Why the generous-hearted Democracy of that
State assembled in their strength, and nomina-
ted John Tyler by reclamation JUSTICE TO
JOHN TYLER is now their rallying cry. They
have even adopted resolutions condemnng in
the most unequivocal terms, the unprincipled
course of the Globe and Mr.. Benton. We care
not how much the politicians calumniate and
prosecute our Republican Chief Magistrate.
But we shall take good care not to fall into a
similar error ourselves. We will not hold the
party, or any opposing candidate, responsible
for the insane rawlings of this or that foolish
press or politician.
We understand the Globes double game.
While it dare not avow its preference for this
or that candidate, it is endeavoring to secure
the support of all for Printer. 1t prefers the
printing to any candidate. We are CONTENT
We prefer our candidate to everything else. If
the printing should fall in our way, well and
good-but we will not deviate an inch from our
main purpose for all the printing in the world
Thus we have an incalcuable advantage over
the Globe, and we shall use it,
To return. We accept the ~ Of the Mer-
curry in the same spirit in which It is offered
Most gladly would we maintain friendly rela-
lions with the journals on every hand, if it were
permitted us. AT the same time we do not de-
precate their wrath. We have become accus-
toned to it. Ii does not annoy us. During the
brief space we have conducted this paper, per-
haps we have been the recipient Of more abuse
than ordinarily falls TO the lot of an editor in
lifetime. We have survived il all without
injury. Our zeal has not abated in the least.
But there is no necessity for assaulting oppo-
sing asprants, even when their indiscreet friends
yield TO the force Of their passions. We have
never assailed Mr.. Calhoun or Mr. Van Buren,.
at all-nor any other prominent man, unless it
was to repei assault We pr fer our man TO
any other in the world we endeavor to exslt
him in the estimation OF the People; there is
no harm in this but there would be positive
prong in seeking, by every gnobe means, to
all his rivals, that he might thus be
elevated above them.
STILL THEY COME-ANOTHER NEW PAPER
We have received the first number of the
MhMIAN, new paper just commenced at Day
ton, Ohio. The Miamian is large and beauti-
full sheet, and is just right in its princinles
The following extracts may serve TO indicate IFS
course:

ment would vindicate the capabity of the people
