And now IN conclusion, will the Globe suffer

In The first place, we object to practical applica-
ton Of MIR Miller's theory TO the Globe, because
having done much IN times past for the Democracy,
we want IL TO live long enough 10 do as much as IL
ought already 10 haze done. Put the curb-rein upon
your appetite for "treasury pap and content YOUR
self Nth the hundreds Of ia usands the kindness and
leniency Of the Democracy have permitted you 10
draw from the government. Moderate your ambi-
tion TO control the government aud the Democrats

you do this, just in that proportion will be your

Van Buren, should be elected, but which you do mol
consider certain under any body else, lei US have
little reform IN your bearing towards the Democratic
presses OF the country. II has too much snout aud
ment, OF the Democracy Of the Cnion should be dis
tnguished not only for its ability but for its courtesy
and lofty bearing; and furthermore IL should never
descend TO low electoneerng ntrigues nor be found
attempting TO brow beat the party or any portion OF

when we do SO it does not look well in the Globe and
others, who trade in politics. TO denuunce freedom Of

In The third place we would have the Globe do as
we intend to do, IN the matter of the next Presiden

test with candidate whose character and claims will

when the selection has been made by the National
Convention in good faith to the country (as we doubt

What is particularly wanted of the Globe at this
Tune is modicun Of polh al ioieraiion. The editor

ter This federation is therefore particularly wanted
among editors. Ii would save a great deal of
" snoul and tain denuncaton. -
The editor Of the Globe has made up his mind that
Mr. Tyler ought not to be the Democratic candidate
and therefore deals out lots Of snout and tailn

diier somewhat from the Globe on this point. Ii
Mr. Tyler chooses TO run for the Presidency, ard can
get a nomination from any party, he has tie same
right to run that any other citizen has. But unable
as we are to perceive that he has the slightest chance
