tin the Executive branch Of the Government
IN all It's constitutional independence, there was
but one voice in the Democratic party, but one
mind in the Democratic press; all united IN
eulogy of the man who, unseduced by the Hat
terry with which the leaders Of the dominant
party sought TO entice him from the path OF
duty, and unteui6ed by the camor OF dema-
gogues, or the threats of the friends of an am
bilious aspirant TO the Executive chair, nobly
resolved TO act for the whole country aud not
for section-for the people, and not for a ca
BAL
A course like this was incomprehensible to
mere partisans, and as inexplicable as it was
unexpected to those who believed they had Sc
cured the Government in their own hands by an
initiating the Erecufire, and rendering the Lee
gisiatire power paramount aud sole.
The Veto Messages Of the President were
not only app,auded by the People, but, in the
fullness of that generous admiration which ever
characterizes them, when left 10 their honest
judgments and impulses, they considered all the
past as if it had not been, and looked con6dngy
TO an suspicious future. They believed that
the ship Of state, under her new Captain"
was about to take new departure, and that
she would soon lay her course for safe and
glorious barbor.
The great act of the President-the use Of
the Veto-warranled the belief that il would be
followed by other Democratic measures, and
there wa, therefore an impotence in some
quarters at the continuance Of an influence in
his councils, which il was feared would dsap-
point the newborn hopes Of the People. Due
allowances were not made for the fact that the
Presidents advisers were not OF his own selec
ton, and that he was not fully aware OF their
respective shades of opinions nor was due al
lowance made for The embarrassment into which
he was desgnedy thrown by those no desert
ed the Cabinet at moment when they thou : lat
that their deserton would consummate the PLOT
the Executive power.
All men saw that there were those in the
Presidents Cabinet who held views of public
policy antagonist TO, and uncomfortable with
each other and hence there was, in the Demo
cratic ranks, very natural desire that Demo
Democratic measures nor did the views of the
Democracy reach to the advisers of the Pres-
dent only, but they extended 10 such subordi
mates in office as were believed to exercise a
commanding influence upon public opinion in
their respective vicnilies
Thsss rs.a~-i.s Guuuru upon nIsGorlcaI
facts. The whole Democratic press, and none
lnpd han al 10 ia,
OF an attempt to administer the Government on
other than Democratic principles and equally
repudated the idea Of confding thar attempt To
men who never thought or acted, for momen'
10 accordance with the Democratic party or its
principles.
Such being the historical fact, we come to
inquire how far the President has listened to the
voice Of the Democracy, and what has been the
result.
Important appointments have been, from time
to time, made at various points, from the Demo
cratic ranks, and, among others, that Of General
Dawson as Postma.ter at New Orleans and
these appointments have been followed by the
Presidents calling to his cabinet sew, raj veteran
members of the Democratic parry. These ap.
poinimenls every where meet with the approba-
lion of the Democracy, and with the denuncia-
tons of their opponents. The walls Of Wing
wrath which were first poured upon the head Of
John Tyler by his Congressional foes, were fill
ed and emptied again and again by the partisans
Of Mr.. Clay, until every fountain OF bitterness
seemed TO have been exhausted The Demo
cratic presses were unanimous in praise, and the
Wing presses unanimous in censure of the Pre-
sidenrs course, with one only e.rception-the
GLOBE.
The Globe was in favor of the President $
course until be selected Democrats for his Cab
inet-tben its fury knew no boonds-lhen it
il feared that its favori chief" ight not be
the nominee of the National Convention-then
il began TO believe that the next Congress,
though Democratic, might not be willing to seem
to dictate to the Convention, by appointing, as
its Printer, an avowed advocate of defeated
candidate, and If not The open assaant Of ev, nv
other candidate one who had closed the doors
Of the Convention against them.
Thus believing and thus dreading, the Globe
has wantonly assalled the President and his
Democratic selections, denouucGg the admins
tration as imbecile and he new members as no
true Democrats. Let US examine the Globes
course more nearly. II has recently affected to
rejoice in the result of the Louisiana election
and said on the 10Th instant: "The full success
is owing in the first place, to The admirable Sc
lection OF the Democratic candidates. They are
ALL men OF EXALTED CHARACTER and talents
Gen. Damson may be looked upon justly as the
preur cheraiier Of the Souru. lie was the only
Democratic member.from Louisiana in the las
Congress, and nobiy sustained the Democratic
power of the Sale in Congress"
This only Democratic member from Lousi-
sna-tbis preur cherdlier Of The uhoie South,
in The Globes just eslimatiCn-ths chief among
