THE GLOBE in lS41.

THE GLOBE IN 1871.
The Globe having seen fit TO discontinue It's
hostility 10 Mr.. Clay in 1913, and to open all lis
batteries on President Tyler, whom it stigma
Uses as traitor to Mr.. Clay and the "grea
Wing party" our curiosity has induced us &c
look back at its course in lS4l, during the extra
session, when ii was one of the spontaneous
and 1--WE think) truthful champions of g Oic
Teio" The result of our researches we pro
pose, from time to time, to give TO our readers
We will commence with an extract from the
Globe of August 9th, 1S4l, when the first Bank
bill vas in the hands of the President:
"If Mr.. Tyler were now to sign the Bank bill, il
would be nothing less than admission that he
scented to be set up a candidate to cheat the People
into the support of Bank President, disgusting him
self under the professions Of long life dpoed 10 opposi-
ton to ii. To-day the law establishing the lndepen-
dent Treasury bill was repeated With riec 10 eoeres
the PRESIDENT into the adoption of the Bank as the
fiscal agent Of the Government. Mr. CLAY is deter
mined that the PRESIDENT shall hare no ground 10 re
treat to but the first Treasury aci. TINS WILL BE FOUND
SUFFICIENT, under the support of popular opinion.
The belief gains ground hourly that the Bank will be
met by veto"
The "6rs, Treasury act" is now in ope.
raton-why does not the Globe st think il
=" sufficient? 2"
On the 10th August the Veto came. 1t threw
the Globe into paroxism Of ecstacy That
print exclaimed as follows:
We think that 1t decides the question Of a Bank
in any form for the present Presidential term AND
THAT THE FRIENDS THE CONSTITUTION MAY ell
EBRATE THIS VETo AS THEY THAT OF GENERAL
JACKSON, AS GREAT DELIyERENcE FROM THE FATAL
system OF CORRUPTION WHICH IN THE COURSE OF
TIME COULD NOT PAIL TO MAKE DOLLARS, AND NOT
VOTES, SOVEREIGN IN THIS COUNTRY
Now, who would have thought after such an
euloglstic ouburst for the " Veto President
the Globe would excommunicate such men as
Henshaw and Nelson merely for accepting Of
fee under him y Tha, it would pitch Amos
Kendall overheard for advising his contempora-
ries TO point their guns at Mr.. Clay instead OF
Mr.. Tyler-and discard Penn" for not assall-
ing The lalter2
But The Globe was Cat that time) particular
iy anxious 10 vindicale the President from the
foul aspersons of the Clay men. 1t thus con.
tinues It's notice Of The Veto:
Besides the political blessing this Veto brings with
for the fn,nre Tbex Uarr;son ant
Tyler well known TO be so Opponents Of the
Bank 10 the whole Federal party, and were so pre-
ttntcu, Tor the votes oil uOse opposed to the esta
bllshment Of Bank, and when they had attained
power in part by the stroges Of those opposed 10 Bank
IT is made manifest by Mr. Glars BILL that the Who'll,
representative body Of Federalism in Congress con
templated the monstrous outrage Of inducing IN,
Chig Magistrate 10 violate his CONFERENCE.-The pledge
his Oah-to establish an institution, against iohich h,
was committed from his first appearance in public
life TO his last. The Ftd,rai party have la
bored, might and main, to make the man on whom
they have abored confer the highest dignity stan,
he all lsf.r
not as other men who have attained the first honor
the Republic-not as President, but ipiposier
And Is II not a strange spectacle mono, TO Sc,
the Globe aiding and abetling the "Federa
party" in the identical 'labors" which j, de-
nounced so bitterly in ls4l7
Bot we will make another extract or two from
the Globes editorial ourpurings in ls4l, TO show
that it did not spare Mr.. Clay then.
The Federal Representatives in Congress, an,
their leader, (MR. Clay have nothing TO plead il
paalion Of the shocking sacrifice they would make o
MIR. TYLER as q man aud public functionary, or &
cover the dcpraycd motives which prompted 10 pur
sue such purpose. They not only knew what MIR
TrLrR's opinions before he was elected, bu
since In his first Nj, sage, he not only ntms ted hi
own, but proclaimed that the opinions Of the PcopI
had been again and again declared against Bank
aud yet they have pressed upon him and demande
his consent TO the establishment Of a National Ban
in the most odious and Objectionable form ever fash
Toned in this or any other county"
The Globe concludes by making its acknow
Judgments to the Presden-acknowledgm
which, however much the Globe may non b
disposed to detract from them, were felt, an
uttered, and wiH be adhered 10, by the PeoI le
1--WE make our acknowledgements TO Mr. TrLyp 70
this act Of DELlNERANCE. If he maintains hi
position firmly and has he not done IL Ask MI
Clay.-h Mad. he will ever be acknow ged as
public BENEfACTOR. We care mol rhai h has 70
fiscal agent, whether he has any fiscal agent; ;
that, whatever management Is instituted, II is cor
fined ~ its powers simply TO the business of the Tres
sury and no pretcxt given to place Il beyond u
reach Of the People, under the abused principle ,
rested rights contracts. We hold that the rig hts
the People and the Government cannot be contracte
awsy-but for the peace Of the country rejoc
that the PRGsIDEsr excludes, as we understand hi
veto, the possibility Of its application, formerl,
TO any system Of management Of the finances whic
may be Instituted, by excluding all private conuec
ton or partnership with the public agency, and hold
ing il strictly and simply to the discharge Of publ
trust"
On the 10th August, ls4l, the Globe wa
ready TO become the ''Ufhcial orgon,n aud to al
vocate the Eychequcr. Prerious to that da,
all or nearly all Of the appointments, since s.
obnoxious to the Globe, had been made. WHY
then, thousands will ask, does it now assaa ia
President and spare Mr. Clay2
