THE MAD BULL IN THE sen ATE.

The furious, reckless hydrophOJic attack on
the President, in Mondays Globe, is almost
unworthy Of serious notice. So many of our
Republican friends, in and out Of Congress,
having assured US, and still continue to assure
US, that none but an inconsiderable portion of
the party approve the course Of the Globe, we
are inclined to regard its rawlings solely as the
result of blighed prospects and mortified pride.
The fact that 50 many of the leading Repub-
can presses are at this moment renouncing the
policy of the Globe, and denouncing its con-
tributors is sufficient evidence that ii has sus-
tained a most gnobe repuse in lis late assault
on the Administration.
The Republican party cannot hereafter be
held responsible for the acts of the Globe. 1t
is no longer the exponent of the views of the
party. We have very satisfactory, nay, almost
authentic information, that neither Mr.. Cal
houn nor Mr.. Van Buren, approve its course.
We might leave it TO sink quietly out of
view. The meagre influence il now possesses,
cannot rutiie the temper of any one.
With one exception, the Democratic presses
in the great State of Pennsylvania have con
demned the Globe. We are induced TO clip the
following article from the Sentinel, to show our
readers that the hornets nest recently reused up
in Pennsylvania is by no means yet allayed

GOV PORTER'S MESSAGE
We last week presented the readers Of the Scnti-
ne this document, without comment Since its ap-
pearance grafrd to learn that its principles

press OF Pennsylvania. And with one unipportani
exception also gratfed to hear that il is APP
proved by the ID mocrac papers of other States
The exception to which we refer, is the Washington
Globe, published by Francis p Blair.
The editor Of the Globe finds fault with Governor
Porters recommendation of "a few cents per ton
upon her coal and ron which scattered in every
hill and valley throughout her borders,n and which
will at some future day not only pay the interest
on her public debt, but the principal also" Or, TO
be more explicit-the Executive of Pennsylvania, in
the message referred TO above, took strong ground
against the abomnable doctrine Of repud ton and
nobly advocated the ability Of the Commonwealth TO
pay her State debt and in support of this position re-
ferred to her cxhaustless Of mineral wealth
iron, coal, &c.-and recommended tie imposition
of tax vi on them, to be paid by the consumer
which would soon relieve her from all her pecuniary
embarrassments.
Here then, his Exceency, Gov. Porter has sim
ply recommended the establishment, by Legislative
enactment, of '.judicious protective tariff A
repetition of the principles be early avowed in his
entrance upon public life-which he has. on all
proper occasions since fearlessy promulgated-for
which he has the example Of the administrations of
Governors Findlay, Hester, Shuttle and Wof-and
superadded TO which, let it be remembered the re-
corded appreciation Of his measures the archives
Of the State, as declared by majority of ttoenpi,ee
thousand Of The voters Of Pennsylvania For this the po
tical chameleon of the Globe has denounced the
message as good phig doctrine" and the project
"ds scheme Of unjust and Ubiquitous legisiaon'' And
to cap the climax of his impudence and ignorance
the pseudo democrat Of the Globe adds insult TO in
jury by saying, 1--WE have no idea, however, that the
democracy of the Keystone State will sanction any
such measures. "
In conclusion, we must ask Governor Porter's par.
don, for the liberty have taken with his name, in
connection With thing so contemptuously ridiculous
as Francis L. Blair But the attack was so mani
esty unjust and uncalled for, we would be recreant
TO our trust as humble Sentnels the watch-tower
of Democracy, TO let its author pass with IMMUNITY
We now dismiss his case.
Mr. Blair had better turn his attention to his own
inconsistencies, in his own limited sphere cease his
unwarranable and pusanimous attacks upon such
gentlemen as Gov. PORTER and President Tylra -
His repeated and brutal assaults upon the Chief Ma
gistrate of the Nation, for selfish and sinister mo
tyes, have called down upon his guilty head the
united dlsapprobation of the great democratic party
OF the Union and the sovereign contempt OF all
lighlened people. The same Judgment awaits him |
sylyania. We hope that Mr.. b. will profit by the |
past, and learn wisdom from experience"
