PARTY MOVEMENTS.

The extraordinary and unwarranted assaults made
by some OF our democratic contemporaries and old
associates in the democratic cause upon Mr.. Tyler
and some OF his late udciou appointments, indicate
spirit which we could scarcely believe existed any
where few months ago. Among the most striking
indications of this sort, to be numbered the at
tacks Of the Globe upon Messrs. Spencer, Henshaw
and Nelson. The two latter gentlemen, with de-
served eminence in their profession, have been so
quiet and unobrusiye in their political conduct as to
be comparatively unknown to many not familiar WI tli
the great lumnares Of the American bar. Yet no
sooner were they appointed than a coarse personal
attack is made upon them, and the public IS told that
"Henshaw and Spencer a disgrace TO the nation,
and lit only for some infamous cabal " II would be
mere prudery TO apply to such uniounded PERSONAL
ties any other phraseoogy than that which truly de-
slgnates IT as vugarity and ruianism. But it has
deeper and more important meaning
While Mr.. Tyler was viewed by the Globe In the
pleasant aspect of a checkmate upon the movements
of the Wings, it entertained him continually with
praise and aduation. But did il appear
that the Executive patronage could not be prostitu
ted to lis selfish preferences its mercenary views and
ma gnant dslikes, than the Pres dent is denounced
as traitor to his own party and an interloper into
ours. This venomous persecution, however, Is not
confined TO Mr.. Tyler, but is aylshly showered upon
every associate who it is supposed give weight
aud popularity to the Administration. Messrs Hem
shaw and Nelson are not the catspaws of the Albany
| regency and the Globe cabal That is the whole
cret OF the matter.
But this is not ALL The great offence of the gen
uemen we have named is not the lakng Of Office I'M
der MIR. Tyler, but the fact that is known, their
leanings towards Mr. Calhoun. Ii they had
wiped this stain from their skirts TO concilate the
Globe, should have heard nothing of the disgrace
Of taking office under Mr.. Tyler.
One word in conclusion. The foulness PERSONAL
ty, and revolutionary spirit Of the caba, of which
the Globe has been so long The exponent, was one
among the other millstones which unfortunately hung

From The PHILADELPHIA .Ncre,r,

and propretors being appointed to Office and yet
have shown that lis proprietors Office hunters
from the time that print was started 10 the present
day. Parry had office in the Custom House for nc
other purpose in the world than grease the wheels
and he has been sneaking about and negotiating ever
since the present administration got into power, To
get snug berth under John Tyler, but it would not
do.
Another point the Pennsylvanian tries TO make is
the appointment by the President to Office OF persons
rejected by the Senate. This is simply foolish in the
clique that pays for the publication Of tina! print
Gen. Jackson has repeatedly renominated and APP
pointed people who rejected by the Senate
Mr. Van Buren, himself has been Of those " re-
jectcd by the Senate" and ought therefore never 10

Buren, has been rejected THE PEOPLE, by 10 States

cares before and It's opposition not only President
Tyler, but to his assignee, and The other iporih

The Pennsylvania also publishes report Of a
speech of Mr.. Tyler made at the time Of the reno
val Of the deposiles, when he opposed the Bank but
had scrupes regards the eonstittionaiiiy of
the measures employed TO put II down. 1t is bra.
zen, shameless taisehood however, to say that John
Tyler made the speech in defence Of the Bank or in
opposition 10 General Jackson. Mr.. Tyler has, during
his whole political been the warmest sup
porter and euogist Of the Hero of New Orleans but
he differed with him on that point and if that rule
him out Of the Democratic party, then must John
c. Calhoun equally be ruled out.
But can assure the Pennsy lvanian and its clique
Of ofce-seokers, cast-od federal oflice-holders,
that they not yet out of the woods AMI that this
exclusiyencss this want Of tolerance this complete
sacrifice Of all private opniono the opinion of either

election the Globe, Pennsylvania and other similar

LIGHTNING.--An article in the London United
Service Magazine contains some observations rela-
tive to the influence Of geological formation in pro-
ducing lightning, in those parts of the globe where
thunder storms are most frequent in their occurrence
and most destructive in their effects. The impress
sion has prevailed very generally that hUnderstorms
more frequent and dangerous in mineral countries
than any other. Mr.. Dalton, who resided several
years in the Eastern Archipelago, and who visited
several Of the Borneo tribes describes the county
having, to one approaching within twenty miles Of
Pergotian, most dreary and desolate appearance

the natives Of the adj AGENT country impressed
with the belief that the district the peculiar abode
of evil spirits.
On tie other hand, the rich mining districts of Peru
and Wales enjoy comparative exemption from

CHrLD SAVED FROM DRowNNe ny A DoG-At Gin
cinnat, on Thursday last, as We learn from the En-
quirer," little girl apparently or eight years
of age, playing with large brinded cur dog,
much above the ordinary size, throwing sticks into
the water, and watching the dog bring them to shore.
Full of excitement with her amusements, she ven
tured too near the bank with object too great for
her puny strength, and staggered with her oxertons
TO throw it into the water she lost her balance and
fell in herself The dog, true to his affection for the
child plunged in graped her by the clothes around
the waist, and without any apparent difficulty brought
her out and deposited her safely upon the bank Of the
canal, where her mother aud sisters had arrived to
rescue her, but the dog had anticipated them. We
have often heard Of such acts of the Newfoundland
breed dogs but this is the FIRST instance of the sa-
gacity Of the common cur that ever came to our
knowledge.
