THE GLOBE in 1s41.
We continue the triumphant vindication OF
the Presden, made by the Globe in 1871.
II will be recollecfed that Immediately after
the second Bank Veto, the Clay Cabner with
drew from the Administration, and the Ma
tional IatelHgencer opened its batteries on Mr..
Tyler and his friends, alleging that a conspiracy
had been formed to break down Mr.. Clay
From the volume before US il appears that the
editor of the Globe mos, effectually repealed the
assaults of the Inlelligencer, and proved TO the
satisfaction of all honorable men that the Pre-
sident was an honest and consistent Republican
statesman.
After recapiluIating the statement Gin refer
ence to the dissolution of the Cabinet) of the
Intelligencer, the Globe replies as follows:
And on this the National Intelligencer POUNDS the
charge that there has been completing between the
Loco Focos and those of the Presidents friends W no

should little care for this charge against the Loco Focos

gencer, ,pere true. Why, then, should the Globe

The Cabinet ought to be broken up for the good of
the country, and ,oOud not deprive political
friends Of the honor Of any share they may haze had in
promoting the public ,celare. But we do not believe

tween the PRESIDENT and his Cabinet and all this
story Of "PLoT" and CONSPIRACY" and "UNRE-
yEALED MYSTERY is but blind to hide from the
public eye, the cause of the movements going for
ward.
No man read the history of the proceedings
of the present Congress, without observing that an
overbearng dictator has directed every movement Of
the Federal party from the beginning to the end of
the session His will was, that all his measures, to
consummate which the extra session called,
must be passed-that he mus, be looked up to the
master of the Government; and he has
brooked for moment the slightest resistance in
Congress, so he was resolved that the Executive
should not be obstacle in his path to power, with
out measuring strength with him in a final issue. 1t
is has fiat that has dissolved the Cabinet; and all its
members sent home by him to their re.pec-
tive States TO ,cage al his upon the .7dmins-
fation, and resent their tancted tcrongs upon the
PRESIDENT.
Mr. Boris, in his speech yesterday, read letter 10
the House, which he bad written TO the PRESIDENT
some time before the first veto. From Mr. Boris
relations with Mr.. CLAY-being his special champion
in Virginia, and in Congress-it may be fairly infer
red that so important letter. touching the measures
Mr.. CLAY had consummated, was not written with
out consulting the originator. Mr. CLAY, we have
no doubt, read and approved, and, in all likelihood,
suggested that letter.
This letter explicitly tells Mr.. TYLER not only that
his Cabinet will desert him, if he ventures to veto the
Bank first presented to him but goes on to assure
him that the Wing party would not furnish him with
another. With what face, then the National In
teiIigencer put out the story that the retirement Of
the Cabinet was the consequence Of Loco Foco
spracy with Mr. TYLER's personal intmates'
The result was announced in formal letter TO the
PRESIDENT by one who spoke Of what the Cabinet
and Federal party would do, with all the authority Of
chief manager in the csucuses and Of one of Mr..
CLArs lieutenants. He spoke what every Federal
partisan OF Mr.. CLAY, who in the debate, con-
hrmed yesterday by renouncing all the political ties
which associated them uiih the PREsDENT The whole
Cabinet had not probably made up their mind to take
the STEP only four yesterday had resolved on the
surrender. But the press of the current OF Whggery
Is too strong TO allow them 10 hold their places. Mr.
GRANGER, who still held by silver last night has
been broken off and swept away to-day. A happy
delverance this to the letter writing and newspaper
reading public. Mr.. WEBSTER still sticks, to use his
own smile, "iike strong IN mordss." Whether
he will allow his old Federal confederates TO deliver
him from it, is TO be seen He may be iciiiing u
their connection
We now come to the able and conclusive vim
dcation of the President against the charges of
Messrs Ewing &c. the retired Cabinet, which
was made by the editor Of the Globe:

We Law before our reader. the letters addressed IN

EWING violates the seal OF confidence which, through
all time, has KEEP nyioate the private Cabinet coun-

from the fact, that the heads Of the Government
makes them the repositories Of his secret councils
This sacred principle, which can alone make the
consultation. held in the PRESIDENTS Cabinet free
and unreserved, Mr. EWING has violated, not only az
tregards the Chief Magistrate himself but the other
Secretaries who PARTICIPATED in these confidential de-
liberatIons AMI this has been done from the most
objectionable motive-that of gratifying the malice
of a heart, exasperated by defeated ambition and
avarice, and insensibe TO the obligations of grail
tude towards who had conferred on him
the highest favor. The PRtsDrNr could not hiring
