THE GLOBE AND INTELLIGENCER.
Every reader Of the National Intelllgcncer ana
Globe, who takes any interest IN rar'y polincs'
must have remarked the iraieDal harmony
which has subsisied during year past between
these pampered offspring aud devoted worship
pers of the Public Printing. They mutually de
sisted, about the same time, from any eff, ctye
or earnest attacks on each Others favorile msa-
sures or men, and uuited their forces in hearty
onslaught sgains, the A Administration, each as
sailing il from ground familiar and endeared
TO boih-,he patronage Of the General Govern
menL The one charges the Administration
with corruption and pr,hgacy in appointing
Democrats 10 offlce; The other imPuies 10 II As
an objectionable stu the retention OF Wings IN
Office Neither Of them pretends to call in ques-
ton the ability of the Administration, nor its
patriotism, so far as the interests Of the country
at large are concerned for neither of them can
adduce particle of proof that the measures OF
the Administration have been in any way deri-
mental TO the public welfare the proof Of the
contrary, in general prosperity and tranquility,
stares them in the face.
The war, therefore, which they so vigorously
carry on against the Administration, has obvi-
ously no other than personal objects; and each
carries il on after its own fashion. The lntelli-
gencer, Ike an experienced courtier, who is
aware that the efficiency Of weapon depends
more upon lis ksenness and point, than on its
size or weight; the Globe, like ha-bred saw
age, who resort. alternately to the lomahawk
and the srileuo. The one will array few
facts, indispu,able and innocuous in themselves,
and then IN brief and insidious comment, in
still drop of its peculiar virus sufficient to con-
vert the whole into poison The other, less gen
teel, but by no means less unprincpled, resorts
without scrnple to every species OF falsehood
that will answer its purpose, and only has pa
thence occasionally to initiate The more elaborate
and T, fin tactics Of its ally.
Their common object and bond Of union, is
the downfall and utter disgrace of the present
Administration, to be accomplished a. anv sac
rhce VIII .tever, either Of principle or temporary
in,erest The Globe has openly an explicitly
declared, that IL would prefer the success Of Mr..
Clay, To any evidence Of popular feeling in favor
OF the present Administration, and it has 20
verned ITS course accordingly, until its party be-
gan to waken It's fears by general cry of dis
appreciation. In order 10 quiet these clamors,
and give proof OF its allegiance, il now prelends
10 be very busy in endeavoring to prove, BY a
series OF elaborate essays, consisting Of quota
lions from speeches in Congress, accompanied
with drowsy comments, that Mr.. Clay is a
friend TO a protective tdrifU If the devel-
opement Of this astounding fact, does not ac-
somplish Mr.. Clay's destruction, it no doubt has
another rod in pickle for him we should not be
surprised 10 find the Globe successfully main
tanning, by the aid of another volume of quo
ta'ions from the Register of Debates, that Mr..
Clay is in favor of Bank of the United States
How can Mr.. Blair find it in his hear TO be so
severe upon his connection by marriage at
Ashland2
But in the meantime the Globe keeps watch
fu eye TO business, TO the main chance, and to
the sometimes suspicious movements of It's pol.
'shed ally Ii was, day or two ago, much
coniounded by the appearance of an editorial
article 10 the National Intelligencer, to which
we have already alluded containing somewhat
too much truth concerning Mr. Tyler, with
less infusion Of malice and falsehood than was
requisite 10 make the mixture answer their com
mon purpose. The article in question evidently
crept into the editorial columns of the Intclli-
gencer by accident, and is the production of
some bunderer who is not fully aware of the
terms and conditions Of the secret alliance.
The material portion Of it is what follows:
What, we ask Ourselves in vain, makes Mr.. TYLER
less true Democrat than Mr.. Van Buren, or Gen
eral Jackson, or John G. Calhoun or Richard NJ
johnson, or James Buchanan, or George NcDufie
who IS understood 10 have lately asserted anew hi,
ancient faith in the consttu,onalty OF a National
Bank Revise Mr. Tyler's life side by .ide with
that OF any Of these and il will be found b,,r IN
meet all the pretended test. of Democracy "A,
never was hgh-toned Federalist lie never. unless
for brief time supported Bank, as all these lex
cept MIR. Buchanan) have done. lie did no, vote for
the tariff Of 1924 mos, Of them did still less for
that OF 1928 which the first, fourth and fifth did
lie never sanctioned tolls on the Cumberland
road. as some Of thrm did. He never held with
Others oil them, that the power Of internal improve
ment existed for all objects not confined TO single
State He went for distribution Ct oil the surplus
in the Treasury in 1s36-N.r Calhoun's measure
originally recommended by General Jackson. As TO
the Exchequcr and the Sub treasury a little more or
little less, he may surely be allowed the Rcpubli-
can liberty of choosing between their opposite votes
on that last matter. Or has he ceased TO be a Dem
ocrat by dint Of incapsci,y to make to-days white
out Of yesterdays black
Ina word, Il we, who have seen good deal Of
what they now call" Democracy" have become, de.
spitemily enough TO ourselves any Judges of that
commodity, we must say that we look upon Mr. Ty.
Ter as altogether genuine Democrat notw,th-
standing what others claiming that denomination NAV
say to dccry him"
Now, there is nothing in this, so far as Mr..
Tyler is concerned, but what is indsputably
true. There is small mistake respectinp Mr.
