LET THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BE PRE-
SERVED.

We trust that the few indiscreet Democratic |
journals which were led to initiate the Globes
gratuitous assaults on the Administration, will
come to The magnanmous conclusion TO retrace
their steps without proceeding any further. IL
is true that comparatively few, Democratic pa
pers approve the course of The Globe; but these
few may be able to render es entail service IN
preserving the integrity OF the party-and hence
we call upon them all, in every State, from this
day forth to oppose an unbroken front 10 their
ODD Federal enemies, who are preparing for
last desperate struggle in lS44.
At the onset we pronounced 1t suicidal IN
Mr.. Benton to aim blow at President Tyler,
and so il has proved. Mr.. Benton is politically
dead We have not seen his name in any De-
mocralic paper out of Washington for more
than a month. When he failed TO make any i'm
preston on the Treaty; when his interminable
speech, denouncing the Administration, Il
still-born from the press; when he went over 10
the Federasts in the Senate and voted against
the nominations Of Wise and Gushing; when
he failed in his efforts 10 inslgate the Demo
Gratis in Wise's District 10 vote against him J;
and, a, length, when the Horn meeting gotten up
in Philadelphia TO nominate Mr. Van Buren, and
abuse President Tyler, proved to be the most
wrelched failure of all. we wore convinced that
he was impolen, for evil, aud felt inclined 10
let him escape in the political oblivion TO which
his ill-success seemed TO have consigned hun
But it soon became evident, although the pres
tige Of success so papably against him,
that he still eut rtained the expectation of
striking a decisive blow at Albany. When
that affair, too, only contributed 10 owe"

lo % Philadelphia was ordered to
- @a-b blast, not only against the Presi-
Of the United States, who dared TO sp-
point Democrat to the War Department, and
the Secretary appointed, but also against the Go.
vernon Of the STATE, for being the Secrelary's |
brother, in The vain hope of enirapping a portion
OF the Democracy for Mr.. Van Buren,. This er
pertinent, too, was abortive. And even yet, we
would cheerlully forgive and forget everything
that has been attempted against the President,
II these ULTRA politicians would only unite, hcart
and hand with us to drmosh the Fed raj forces
which are now ralying in all quarters for the
fight.
But from every indication, this c que of poli
tIcians, though now extremely few in number.
seem determined TO persist in hurting ire-brands.
as II they were desrousof comprising the
destruction of the Republican parlyl We
ask our Democratic contemporaries throughout
the Union, what possible benefit can b. derived
by the Republican party from the daily publica-
ton IN the Globe Of the Federal assaults on the
President2 In the case Of the removal of Van
Rensselaer,, for instance, what good is educed
for the party, by copying into the Globe the
abuse from the Federal priots, which The an.
poiotment of Mr.. Wasson, Democrat is Of;
cltng7 The whole country was aware thai
Mr.. Van Buren, had removed this identical Van
Rensselaer,. and that the Globe had defended
him when attacked fer it, But now. when the
public service demands his removal, for the
most obvious reasons, aud it is recommended bv
the leading politicians at Albany, of both par
ties, we ask, what good is the Globe to accom-
pl'sh by copying the abuse from the Federal
prints which IS levelled at The President. for I
maki the change2 II may be true tba, Cor :
such service, some Federal enemy of the Pre-
silent IN Congress viii vote for the Globe me- I
as printers bot we cannot see how such con. {
duct is to benefit the Republican party.
