TO r. r.. BLAIR, Esq, Editor efae Globe;

cutlon cruel wrong, than hAs VT tyief Since ~"
accession to The Presidential Chair That bitter and
unreIening prescription should be meted out to b."
10 oyeraow Jog by Federssis Is matter Of no
surprise Resolved upon committing the very iioer-
ties Of eighteen millions Of people TO the tender ner
cies Of mammoth moneyed institution, and upon
betrayng dearest privileges and immuni,ies 10 In
srests decidedly antagonistica to the Constitution, to
IFS Democratic spirit and its provisions for true Ma
tona prosperity, the opposition Of the ANGEL GABRIEL
himself to their wicked plans, would have called
down upon him the vtuperation OF the conspirators ;
| the deep, growing damnaiion Of men, who were
ready 10 polluie the very Temple of Liberty with the
base craft Of the money changer! Like the brazen
shameless eourlesan, who is always lavish in her
claims Of reverence for chastity, they shouted
most Justify about Treason; when themselves
we're preparing the torch Of the ncendiary II was
therefore TO be expected that, when planting himself
not only upon the Constitution Of his oath and pray
ers, but upon former recorded acts and solemn de-
clarations when pursuing the course which he an
nounced to the world, during the Of 40, he
would pursue--when he to the Of that
| for which patriots would think it privilege TO die
and which was in deadly imminent peril-when, Cur
tus-ke, he prepared TO destroy himself that his
country might be sayed-Mr. Tyler had the courage
AMI magnaninty to interpose his veto against the
nous schemes of reckless poticians--it might well
then be looked for that the foiled and disappointed
would bitterly denounce the hand tina, struck them
down from the seat of arbitrary power! 1t was their
alton to anathe matize the of virtue and mo-
raj courage; and well have they come up to their
calling. "Crie,y him Cruelty him" is the madden
ed cry Of the Jews against one who is of their
kindred; and "Gatm Is Diana II Ephesus.m the
watch-w, I'd of the idol-mongers who sought
the death of Apostle because he exposed
their frauds!
| But, sir, il is hear-sickening to find Democratic
prints joining in this unhoy crusade against yirtuous
patriotism--aganst all that of noble honor
and courageous magnanimity When the idol Of
rag-paper arstocracy hurled TO the dust, it well
became the Barons of Tape and Thread to yell forth
their grefs blu, that they for whom the sacrifice
was made, should join in the cry Of determination
| is beyond human credence And yet has not such
been the course of the Globe and of one or two
other supposed Democratic Journal Have you, sir
not lent your aid to nure John Tyler among his coun.
trymen and at the very time that Federal prints
were begrimmed with the filth of the stews1 Have
you not borrowed the vile stuff that you might hur
it against him But in the of al that is sacred
| to honor and patriotlsm-by venerated appeal TO
the glorious spirits OF those who, in their day and gen
| GRAFTON, did their country seryice-by the remem-
brance of the ilustrious worth and the impershable
characters Of Washington, and Jefferson and Madison
| and Monroe, and Jackson. Shall Mr. TYLER be viii
| fed by Democrats, because he has shown himself TO
be a Democrat, amid circumstances which would
! have appalled, men of even mightier nerve Is he
to be lradueed and hunted down by the blood hounds
Of faction, because he dared fearlessly TO do Justice
to the great mass Of his countrymen to obey tue
Constitution, his oath, his conscience and his God
The champion of that Consti,ution-the faithful in
terpreter Of its spirit and provisions--he was re-
solved that it should suffer no wrong at his
hands; and when he saved it, at the expense
Of his personal popularity-that baube of fools
and cunning trickscrs the need which he re-
ceved at the hands Of those who profess to guard
| it with their lives and sacred honor Because there
are those who render to them the glory which is
Justly his due. and hAoeuse they think ,ai having
exhibited the virtue and capacity requisite for the
station, he again should be elevated 10 the post of
honor he is TO be followed with daily abuse
and with malignant, bitter hostility His very
hearth aud fire side, ay, his domestic altar must
be invaded, because factious policy requires that an
other should be held up for party support; and YOU,
sir, have taken il upon yourself arrogantly TO pro-
nounce whom alone the faithful Swiss Of the party
are to rally under.
The present writer solemnly warns you against a
further prosecution Of tins course He entreats YOU
for your own sake, to be less proscrptvc. Whether
Mr. Tyler will allow his TO be brought forward
in the Convention Of May next is best known TO him
self. " hOrerer, il should be, ,cM be proposed Ju
Democrat as good yourself aud il 0Mbe The name ofa
Democrat as pure asHIi Of any other proposed When
this shall have been done his friends will abide the
decision of that body, and, nominated or not they
and he will bow in submission to the act of Ia. Con-
yentlon They will engage IN the contest, which is
to be one of principle, with zeal and true faith and
they will battle always battle, whose war;
