THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

We extract the following editorial article
which appears as the leader in thai wellkhown
and able Administration journal, the Aurora
and Union" Its tone is so honest, ana Us sehu-
ments so dsinterested and prasewortby, that
we could scarcely fail 10 endorse every portion
of il (: " President Tyler" says the Aurora,

seeks no SUCCESSIVE asks for no supI or which
is to be secured by the downfall Of the Repub-
lican party.n Since we have been the hum
bile editor Of this paper, we have s,ryen TO pro
mote the success OF the Republican cause, and
in every election, from the extra session TO this
day, the friends of President Tyler have en-
masse marched TO the polls and recorded their
votes in favor of the Democratic candidates.
In Virginia, in New York, in Pennsylvania, in
Ohio, in Massachusetts, in New Jersey, in Geor-
gia, and in Louisiana, the friends of the Admi-
nistration have aided zeaously and efficiently to
defeat and have defeated the Federal candidates
But there is a certain clique of men, known
as the Globe men, who, whether operated on
by desire of plumber, or by motives of unholy
ambition; whether scheming for their own selfish
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, or anxious that their arrogance
and pride should be still more inflated by fore
ing the People 10 admit that they were fools
and kaares for bringing Mr. Tyler into the
Presidency--have pursued course at once I'M
Just and infamous towards the President, unpa-
triotic to the country, and destructive to the
best interests of the Republican party. These
persons--whose influence, we are happy TO
state, is becoming more and more feeble every
day, as the People become more and more alive
TO the true situation Of public affairs-deny to
the President even moderate share Of talents
deny to him any honesty-declare that he should
give up The Government 10 Cabinet 10 be Sc
iected by them. and ''content himself with
signing papers like Queen victoria"-denounce
the vetoes "as sudden and revolving acts of ey-
traordinary inconsistency" wide Globe) and are
attempting to take, in fact boldly and impudenr-
ly taking, the ground that the Presidents name
shall not appear in the National Democratic
Convention. Thus they dictate to the People
who shall, and who shall not be President
They regard the Republic as Empire to be
divided among Memselres. They abuse the
President, who alone defeated all the Federal
policy, and either defend or treat most lenienty
Mr.. Clay and others, who would have fixed the
monsuous policy of Fed raism on the country.
This course is unjust impudent and disgrace
full, and cannot be submitted TO. If such men
as these be pushed forward, the friends Of the
President cannot be expected to vote for them
But even if these men will retract their abuse,

the country and the People for the repeated in
suits they have offered them; forget them
selves, and make an honest effort TO sustain our
free Republican institutions in their purity and
vigor; if we cannot forget their conduct to US,
we can forgive them for the sake ofthe country.
Nothing but the most impolitic and destruc-
tive conduct, nothing but the obtrusion of men
before the public, in whom we can have, and
must be expected to have, no confidence should
induce the friends of President Tyler to think
of a distinct organization for the Charter cleo
tons in New York. We only ask fair play
fair play;
THE CHARTER ELECTION.
The wings are playing silent and deep game TO
carry the city at the ensuing Charter election. We
are not among those who deny the power Of our OPP
ponents. We know their strength and appre ciate
their resources. They have now a majority in the
Common Council-they have the City Watch-the
Contractors and sweepers of streets-the Aims House
squad, and very powerful organized body Of pen
sioners and they contemplate running popular CT
tizen as their candidate for Mayor. In III view Of
their strength it becomes the duty Of the democrats
to be cautious, united, active Jealous and prudent
and above all TO make sound and popular nomina-
lions Tor Charter officers One Of the secret plans Of
the wings Is to persuade the friends Of President
Tyler to have special organization, and nominate
distinct Tyler tickle, Tor Mayor and Charter Off.
GERS; and a morning paper in their interest while
pretending friendship for the President strongly
urges this step. The result of this movement
should it be adopted will be the election of Me en-.
tire wbig ticket by decided majority and the loss
of the city TO the democratic party in the spring
may be followed by the loss Of the State at the fail
election. Such calamity, it is needless to saw
