To the Editor Of The Nadisyaida:
DEAR SiR: The Globe OF last evening con
,ains column aud more OF editorial, 10 which
ask The indulgence Of your columns for reply
mus, premise these remarks by stating, dis.
,ne,ly and unqaaifedIy, that my correspon-
dence with the aurora and Union,n OF New
York, VI with any other newspaper, which sup
ports President Tyler aud his Admin .lration,
proceeds from my own free aud voluntary
choice, which is not influenced by the
most remote prospect Of reward--ihat l ne
YER have, nor will ever SO degrade my
self, in my own estimation, as To receive
a dollar OF compensation for these hum
be services, either dir ctly or indirt clly-lhat
have courled no influence through the merit Of
any thing have written, aud that my only OBJ
ject in wiring at all, is TO contribute something
TO the great cause of Republican principles, and
TO resent on all occasions the Iibels and caIum-
nies, which are daily circulated through the
Globe against an Administration with which
the success, of those principles is identified
The Globe paper, in attempting TO oslracise
JOHN TYLER from the Democratic Republican
family, has resorted to every method Of detrac-
lon, abuse and falsehood. II has gathered
scraps from the prosltuled perlieus of its asso-
ciates to assa him, and invented and patched
up charges of censure when fact could not
serve lis vile purposes. 1t has vilitied and de-
nounced every member of his Cabinet, and,
with bravo-like reckle ssness, crossed the portals
OF private life, 10 sting with its venom-pointed
tongue, the tfeside grieIs OF men against W. ON

fare. The President, his Cabinet, and his
lrien Is, have submitted, with more than human
foTbearance, to insult, and lib.s, which, il car

and hi, coadjutUrs to drag out the balance OF
their lives, amongst their only natural and Fl ting
They have waived their legal right 10 prosecute
these ruihan assaults, and appealed TO the ju.-

minisralion, have thought proper 10 believe

deserved but one, and only one, answer; and
that was, to charge the "DuREcr LIE" upon its
editor and stand ready for the consequences. |

lshe Globe, of the 2ls, contains an edi.

or reason, upon the ofEcial conduct OF
the Secretary OF the Treasury. That paragraph

Administrator. called upon Mr.. SPENCER
