THE OPPONENTS OF MR.. TYLER'S ADMIN
lSTRATiON

IL is amusing TO witness the dsengenuousness DIS
pa,ed IN the attacks made on the pr,sent I'D mis-
tration. Do the opponents OF Mr. Tyler suppose
for o moment, that the great body OF the America"
people can be imposed upon IN this manner 10
they suppose the people like the strings OF
violin, upon which they may play what tune 'he)
pleasei IL they think so, they will Ind Them
selves wofully disappointed. The people are mol 10
be thus triled with; they observe, they tbink, ana
they will draw their conclusions IA regard 10
public measures and they are not to be turned aside
from an honest investigation OF the acts oil iheir

scurriliiy may utter We would ask those who are
so fond OF resoriDg to IL, what has personal abuse
ever accomplished Ia aid Of party purposes NO
siatesm more obnoxious 10 party reyiiings Than
Mr.. Jefferson and yet these prosecutions only added
to his popularity Does II not appear almost as alb
surdy personiied 10 hear persons who are scarcely
known beyond The precincts ofther own hreside, and
who would feel honored eimost TO bursting with van

Ter Who these selfcoDstituted political pun

What we would ask have they done for the honor
Of their country, ennoblng thai the purity OF their
political regulations eevates them so FAR above even
the standing Of Webster Lesare, a Spencer, an
Everett, Wckli1e, an Irving, an Upshur, Nelson,
Hcnshaw, and host of other pure patriots, who
have united their talents and their reputation with
the present Administration
The American people are too intelligent to be IN

approaching the benefits OF good government, and
they will not be turned aside from the investigation
of the causes which have produced ii. They look
around them and every thing prosperous. The

accountability Of its ofcersali indicate the wisdom

ledge, at once, sound and practical, Of the Latin
Greek, French, and Spanish languages and whose
advantages for instruction m Mathematics, Belle

would meet with support and encouragement"
There appended 10 the pamphlet few extracts,
from number of documents in their possession hav
ing reference to their characters and qualifications
although "they would prefer that parents should
judge from actual experiment and observation, rather
than from any description Of their own" We have
read the prospectus with much pleasure and cannot
refrain from expressing opinion tina, institute,
conducted on the plan proposed, would not only re-
dound to the credit OF the gentlemen who have pro-
lected il, but prove OF incalculable advantage TO

wAILINGs OF THE GLOBE.

How different the tone and bearing Of the
Globe, within the las, few days, from the AFRO
gance which il exhibited three weeks since
II undertook to brow beat all the friends Of every
other candidate than Mr.. Van Buren--it issued
lis bulls, and pronounced its analhemas upon
all dissenlienls, as If il possessed the power Of
supreme dictation Of the Democratic patty
A pretended coalition was got up for effect, and
although Blair meant more than he did assert,
vet an actual coalition between Clay and Adams
was proved TO have been brought about by his
agency. For This, he has been so severely
handled by every press that dares to speak out,
that he whines about perversions He de-
nounced, and wou'd have accommodated, Mr.
Nelson and Mr.. Hcnshaw, for accepting seats
in the Cabinet. The Democratic press through
out the country sustained those gentlemen and
rebuked The Globe. Even his friend Richie
deserts him on this occasion. The Democratic
Convention of Baltimore, consisting Of delegates
elected from the different wards, and which speak
the sentiment of the party in that city, openly
rebukes the usurped dictalon by approving the
course of Mr.. Nelson. The Boston Post, and
nearly the whole Democratic phalanx Of New
England, came out and expressed their uDqualif-
ed appreciation of the appointment Of Mr.. Hen
shaw, and of his acceptance Of Office. The
Democrats of Boston, by committee OF 76 of
the most prominent men, invite Mr.. Henshaw
to public dinner in testimony of their regard
for his character, and their approval of his de-
termination to take the distinguished post as
signed him by discriminating President.
Having thus sigually failed in his efforts TO
create dissensions in The Republican ranks, hav-
ing been rebuked from all quarters as an AFRO
CANT dictator and audacious demagogue he be-
gins to feel sore under his aff cons, and COM
mences most melancholy wailing at the perse-
cutions he suffers Conscious, however, that
every intelligent reader would laugh at his ca
meet himself with Mr.. Van Buren,, and repre-
sents him also as being the object Of persecu-
ton
After doing all in his power TO provoke as
saults upon Mr.. Van Buren,, by assalng the |
President, his Administration, and their fiends,
in a manner worthy of the Clay Mig papers,
he complains that the " war is carried in o Afri-
ca" He would have The war on one side and
he the champion Of that side.
However, we rejoice to find that Blair has
any sen.biy 10 disgrace, any consciousness of
The estimation in which he is held. If he suf-
iers under the expressions of public DISCUS, a.
his unparalleled impudence, let him remember
that there is but one soace-Iepenlance and re-
formation.

/ ealumnialors far from the President, and the
good will of the coming Congress.
The Eastern and Northern press has become
Hrnshaw, and, through him, TO the Eastern
Democracy, and the journals are speaking out
as free journals should in vindication Of Mr.
Henshaw aud the President, and in condemna-
ton OF the Globe.
The Globe believes, or pretends TO believe, that
nothing is 50 detrimental or dangerous to the
country as Uhig domination; and yet censures
the President for calling Democrats TO his coun-
eds, aud endeavors TO depfecia'e the characters
Of all Democrats who accept The invitation. IL
hates Whgs, and YET would see the Govern
meDt. for the next Two years, under Wing rule,
or, what il says is worse, "Tyler rule !" since il
threatens to ride rough shod" over all Demo
Gratis who shall, by taking office, prevent Wing
misfUle.
The Globe is playing for great p'ize-il
stakes nothing-ils dice have already been laid
for by The Democratic party, and IT, therefore,
pays desperately for Martin Van Buren, and the
Congressional printing.
Having amassed riches, Of which it boasts, OF
what account TO il are the bread and butter Of
those who were impoverished by the contest OF
1902 The poor Democrats who suffered de-
feat must consent to live in poverty until the
rich, who were defeated, shall be reinstated in
their old places, aud then, mayhap, find new
friends upon whom to bestow the Tustry Trap
pings of v:ctory-D ricsory can be had under
such leaders as the Globe and its defeated ta-
rOrite.

From The Weadeid (.uass. } Spectator.

The course of the Washington Globe, relative TO
tn appointment Of MIR. Henshaw to the Navy, and
his acceptance is not like TO win many friends IN Mas
sachusetls With the true honest Democracy of this
State Mr.. Henshaw is decidedly popular, and it will
require some stronger reasons than Mr.. Henshaw's
appointment and acceptance of that Office under MIR
Tyler, and the censure of the Globe and ITS honest
ally the Bay State Democrat, to ALLEVIATE its esteem
Of his personal and political cha acter. The Globe
considers itself the leading spirit of the Democratic
party--lhe grand Jupiter Ton ms; and from its loca-
ton, the ability with which 1t is conducted and its
wide circulation, has exerted a powerful influence
with the party throughout the Union. During Mr.
Jacksons first term, II was established the Official
organ, and from that period to the Inauguration Of
Mr.. Harrison, it reveled upon Government pat
ronage, lining its capon with the iatness of EXecu
tive, and Legislative Partially public printers.
Thus pampered by the Government, il has grown to
giants strength, and inflated with the vanity OF ITS
success, in spirit Of selisuiciency ii imaglnes its
powers capable TO subdue refractory Democrats at its
Will crush them beneath its circumvolutions-
Hence It's recent attempt TO read every man out OF
the Pale OF Domocracv, who has the Independence to
utter his honest sentiments respecting The OF
Mr.. Tyler The acceptance OF Office by honest De-
mocrats who capable and deserving under the
present Administration Is treason because tie peo-
pie have expelled the leading broken-down hacks OF
party from the high lace they once occupied,
and which IT is their purpose to regain. But with
all the influence the Globe possesses, if il thinks IL
has power TO turn the Democracy of Massachusetts
against Mr. Henshaw, or the course he has pursued,
drive 1t to the support of MIR. Van Buren,, by It's
base attacks upon the democratic presses IN this
State, excepting its consort, the Bay State Democrat,
II has once drawn lame and impotent conclusion.
Ii must first brush up and yarnish its principles of
consistency, before attempting 10 dictate TO $4,000
Democrats course, which alone is only proper for
them to pursue, especially II regards separation
from our Old well tried, and highly esteemed politI
al associates.
