THE GLOBE AND THE PRESIDENT.

We nave ODStTVeu WIN uctp regret tHe Dltlcr war
fare kept up by the Washington Globe for several
months past against President Tyler and all who ac
cept Office under his administrations who in anyway
have the least 10 do with him. The Globe is even
more bitter against the President than is the Wing
press Of the country and TO hear it resounding the
cry raised by the Clay Wing press of " traitor
" Benedict Arnold" &C., stranger would set the
Globe down as Clay paper Of the first water. In
deed, ii has lately taken to defending the Clay Wings
against what il calls the ntrigues Of the Webster
Wings, to supplant Mr. Clay as the next Federal
candidate for President, and declares that Mr. Clay
has greater claims upon the confidence and support
OF the Democracy than John Tyler has Every De
mocrat, no matter how pure and exalted his charac
ter Tor virtue nor how long and ardent has been his
devotion to Democratic principles, who accepts Of
fee under Mr. Tyler, is Immediately denounced a
renegade, seeking TO betray the Democracy into the
arms OF Federalism,
Is there any just cause for such course on the
part of the Globe, or any other democratic paper
Most clearly not II is evident Mr.. Tyler is honestly
endcavorng to administer the government to
promote the best interests of the country and his
course has been such TO call down upon him any
thing but abuse from the democratic party. What
had we to expect from him A wing administration.
And what has il beeni With the exception Of few
measures, most of which have been repe led as pure
ly democratic the administration OF Gen. jackson
or Mr. Van Buren, By his vetoes on the pernicous
measures Of the last whig Congress and the general
policy OF his administration Mr. Tyler has done more
to advance the triumph OF democratic principles Il an
any man in the Union He removes federalsls and
appoints democrats 10 Office in almost every instance
and yet for all this he is constantly and yehcmeutly
abused by paper recognized as the national ofgln
OF the democratic party. This is strange nduct
but the secret motive of the Globe is obvious hen
closely scanned, and should be marked and checked
by our party, in time toprevent rupture which must
ensue from II, II persisted ina rupture that viii
| oyerwhem us in defeat.
The only sin alleged by the Globe against Mr. Ty.
Ter and those Democrats whom it abuses for accept
ing office under him is that they are mol IN faror If
W Van Buren, for President. tn is " the head and
front Of their offending Marx you-it is not charg-
ed that they opposed TO Van Buren, but that they
not In favor oi him their first choice and for
tins they and long list Of the Oldest and most
spectacle Democratic papers IN the country that
tam them, are IN dlctaiorial tone, absolutely dis
gushing, read out of the Democratic church 10y the
Globe and branded as traitors seeking to betray the
Democracy And what is worthy Of still closer OBJ
seryance IS, that most of the Democrats and Demo-
cratic papers, thus denounced by the Giobe are IN
favor Of MIR Calhoun for Presid, nj The Giobt may
as well at once come out in open and uncomprom,-
ing hostility TO Mr.. Calhoun, Colonel Johnson Gene.
raj Cass and every body else but Mr. Van Buren, and
make blind support Of him the test OF every man,
/ Democracy.
! We regret deeply to see the Globe pursuing tt>
course. Upon the united action Of he rrhols den o.
crazy alone depends our in the next Presdcn
/ tal contest But Is the course Of the Globe calcr-
lated TO produce this unity of actoni II is vain for
mat paper To attempt TO conceal the real design ui
/ ITS warfare, by pretending to aim its blows AT Mr.
| Tyler alone. But the fear Of the Globe j.
that The influence of the administration and its friend,
wi'l be giren--not to Mr.. Clay, or any other edcr-
alist-but TO Mr.. Calhoun, or some other democrat
Than MIR Van Buren,, and probably prevent that gen.
ueman from getting the nomination hence its bitter
abuse.
This dctstorial course Of the Globe is intocrable
and we call upon such Of the democratic press Of the
country value their independence and the free
dom Of opinion 10 regard to the choice Of cand-
date for President, TO administer the proper rebuko
| We are willing 10 go for Mr.. Van Buren,, or any
other democrat who may be fairly nominated by the
Baltimore Convention But the people should decide
who shall be candidate, aud not the editors Of
the Globe or any other political manager. For one.
we viii never consent TO have any man crammcd
down our Threats IN advance, who is not our first
choice nor believe, the choice of a mai ority
Of our party And II the editors of the Globe are
determined 10 force MIR Van Buren, on the party as
their candidate, create split IN ranks, say,
let them come on with that ssuethe sooner the bet
ter aud see TO whose benefit the result will inure
