COURSE OF THE WASHINGTON GLOBE.

The Washington Globe stands almost alone in the
which II pursues towards the present admins
tration. When 1t strongly recommended President
Tyler and acknowledged the importance of the SER
vices he had rendered the democratic party its sem
timents echoed by host of democratic papers
throughout the country; but the moment it changed
its and began to abuse him, the same papers
ceased to copy from its columns, or express senti-
ments, ia unison with IFS views and refused to
surrender their character for fairness and consistency
at the dctation Of the Globe. This fact shows the
indeensibIe character Of the Globes course and the
construction placed upon il by the organs of the reo-
pies party.
II has been well observed that for some months the
Globe has been almost entirely devoted TO war with
administration sustaining the acknowledged prin-
cipes and measures Of democracy while it has per.
mItted the party opposing those doctrines and mea-
surcs to go in their Vaccinations unscathed Thus
it has indirectly afforded that party aid.
Many of the democratic papers have not been con-
tent with tacit condemnation Of the Globe, but
have expressed their disapprobation of course in
plain and decided terms

An ingenious cradle of domestic manufacture, made
by gentleman in Mississippi, sent as present
to friend 10 Charleston, S. c. An extract from his
letter is as follows;
"The body or frame Of the cradle is manufactured
out of the she'll Of what we call the snappin q turtle
that weighed 1875 pounds, caught by myself out of my
own waters. The railing Is constructed of the horus
Of bucks, killed with my own rifle by my own hands.
The rockers made from a walnut tree that grew
on my sisters plantation adjoining me- The spring
mattress or lining is stuffed with wool from my own
sheep The loose mattress is also filled with domestic
wool manufactured and lined by own wife The
pillows arb filed with feathers from our own wild
geese that have been also manufactured by my
wife, with her own hands, after having been previ-
ously slain by my own steady arm. The pavilion,
which you will perceive is 10 be thrown the ca
nopy was likewise fabricated, fitted, and contrived
by my own right thrifty, ingenious, and very indus
rious better half Accompanying the cradle is
whistle which was made by friend residing with
me out of the tusk of an alligator, slain by my
own hand, as well fan made also by the same
friend out of the tail of wild turkey xii ed by mc'
Accompanying the whole is the hide of panther,
dressed after the fashion of the chamois, the animal
having been slam by my own hands and with my own
trusy rife. This is for the stranger to loll and roll
upon when tired Of his cradle.
g Ii has been SAID for the famous Colonel Crockett
that he was ta,dched down upon raft and rocked IN
bee gum. The stranger, whatever may become his
name hereafter may boast that he icas rocked 10 sleep

From THE SANDWICH lsLAsDs-'fhe ship Wiliiam
Gray, Captain Stickney, arrived at Boston on Mon
day, having sailed from Oahu, April 10Th. The Post
learns that the English still held possession of the
island but news had reached there that they would,
at early date, be surrendered to the native autho
rites. This, IN measure, had quoted the public
mind, and business was beginning TO assume its won't
ed character. Lord G.. Pauet appears to be rather
popular with the temperance folks he has lent his
influence to carry out some Of their reforms. The
seaman's chaplain also acknowledges the receipt of
$40 from him, to be appropriated to the maintenance
OF the seaman's chapel @a." e

DENUNCIATIONS OF THE WASHINGTON
GLOBE.

The course pursued by this organ for the past few
months, towards Mr.. KENDALL and other distinguish
ed coaborers of the great Republican party, feel
satisfied is not and cannot be approved by the de-
mocracy Of the country We verify believe that the
present of the Globe, Of persisted in) will
tend to weaken the cause, and the great principles
for which coDtendng. Forgetting It's duty to
the party the phoie pnty-it does not wait to give
expression of the popular will, and then, it
should do, bring all IFS force to give effect to that
expression but having welded itself with the friends
of one Of the aspirants the Presidency IT attempts
dictate TO the friends of the other candidates not
only the they must pursue, but the very terms
which they will be permitted to remain in the de-
mocratic party. Such dictstoria conduct is abuse
of the confidence Of the democracy Of the country
and deserves the condemnation Of the entire party.
An eastern cotemporary, sterling democratic jour
nal, IN an excellent article written in the p oper
spirit remarks, that IL in the power OF any one
press 10 enlarge circumscribe the sphere OF Demo
cratic principes-to admit within, or exclude from
the pale of the church, any individual or cass of
persons nor presumptuousy assume its own as tho
standard of democracy, and TO excommunicate all
who conform not TO its decisions, repudste the
preferences IT chooses TO The very nature of
Democracy sbhors such exclusive power and true
Democrats despise the person who attempts usurp
its exercise.

courtesy, proposition was made by the trio to buy

was accepted, and Bonifacc evacuated the establish

orgies upon the most liberal scale. They proved
their devotcdness in the cause and the daylight broke

THE GLOBE.

The editors Of the Globe have employed the last
SIX months in heaping abuse upon the head of Mr..
Tyler and his Cabinet. We bad supposed that the
leaders Of the Democratic party had engaged the
services of the Globe TO hurl its thunders against
their common enemy. True it is, that some Of Mr..
Tylers acts and recommendations were considered
by the Democratic party as contravening the Con-
stitution of the United States. But yet when we
consider the peculiar and trying circumstances by
which he has been surrounded from the moment he
donned the Presidential mantle to the presenttime
cannot do otherwise than TO admit that he has been
more sisned against than SHINING" His veto Of the

CONSISTENCY OF THE GLOBE, &C.

Some very nice democratic papers-whose nerves
are exceedingly delicate-abpear TO be shocked to
think that MIR. Henshaw should saw that Mr.. TYLER
was brought up at the foot of Monticello. Does any
one deny this! But the Globe has gone far, far be-
yond anything Mr.. Henshaw has said in appreciation
OF the Presidents conduct, although the consistent
and virluous MIR. Blair now rolls up his eyes in holy
horror at Mr. Henshaw's qualified expressions. We
copy the following remarks of Mr.. Blair, which APP
pear under date of 10Th September, l84I. The
Globe then declared that MIR. Tyler had /" Prored
himself TRUE to his PRINCIPLES and HONEST to the
PEOPLE. Federalism proclaims him unworthy its
support: in this he receives the highest encomium it
could bestow. t
''Let it be marked IN the calendar that this day
(Frlddy) federalism opened with its anathemas Mr.
Tyler, and has made it the MOST GLORIOUS
EPOCH of his life"
Let it be remembered that this same Globe now
attempts 10 mpeach the political integrity of Mr.
Henshaw for simply saying that the President was
brought up at the loot Of Monticello and recommends
ing the support of such measures of his administra-
ton as may be found to be democratic.
So fierce was the Bay State Democrat ano,her
paper that is alarmed at Mr.. Henshaw's Monticello
remark i'm defence of Mr. Tyler that it not only
defended Mr.. t., but attacked J. @ Adams in the
following manner for his abuse of Mr. TYLER in his
report upon the last veto: :.
1.-The report has all that rancor and bitterness OF
tone towards Mr. Tyler which was anticipated, and
as, in tins respect, IT comes up to federal expccta-
tons, 1t will doubtless be appaudec by that party a.
most noble, patriotic and convincing document. -
The President is insulted vilifed AID msrepresent
ed, without stint or measure; and when consider
the position OF Mr.. Tyler which prevents him from
descending into the kennel TO meet his assaants II
must be confessed that the assault upon him is as
cowardIy an act in ITSELF il is disgraceful to the
J office which Mr.. Adams once occupied and the State
! which he represents
=" In this famous appeal TO the God Of Battles, ,
besides the missiles drawn from the kennel we have
others Of kindred nature, brought from the fede-
raj armory, where lie depos ted the log cabins the
cider barrels, and the coon skins Of the last cam
! pagn."

square with the notions the Globe cntertains and
alone considers genuine, be he politician political
Of authority, which characterize those Illuminated by

How will the Globe dispose of General Dawson,
who was appointed Postmaster at New Orleans, a
little while ago, by Mr.. Tyler Is lie polluted by the
Tyler touch The Democrats of Louisiana have
elected him their representative in Congress; but,
according the doctrine of the Globe he has proved
himself unworthy of associatng with the Democratic
party, by accepting Office under Mr. Tyler, and that
press OF course will object to his voting for Blair and
Riyes printers to the next Congress. The New
Hampshire Patriot will read him out of the party,
and the New Hampshire Argus will denounce him if
they consistent yet the Democracy Of Louisiana
have confidence in him, and SUSPECT he will hear
ty cooperate with and be confded in by the Demo-
