The mouse has been wrestcd out Of its sounding ca

up and re-echo the abuse OF the Globe heaped with

but upon those Democrats who have lately accepted
Offices in the cabinet IL Is clear day, that
there must be some other moving power than zeal in
cause Of Democracy, or an overweenng anxiety TO
defend lis principles in thus grossly attacking Ad-
mnistra,ion which processes to be Democratic, and
whose acts SO far, with perhaps slight exception,
fully Justify its profession. But were it avowedy
Federal Wing in its principles, more unueasured
abuse could not be heaped upon IT, than is nov poured

prints headed by the great Globe From tha paper,
we learn that Van Buren, is the very pink of Demo-
cracy and that if reasonable but justable nvesii-
CATION, into his claims be occasionally mad, the
Globe gives it such high colorng, that it becomes
an attack upon that gentemans political prin.iplcs.
IL the Globe desires greatly desires TO see Henry
Clay elected, it is following out the best posslblplan
to secure that end, not that imagine for aNmo-
ment, its influence, will bring upon us such ctas-
trophe, for we are glad to see the Democratic piss

would be highly detrimental to the interests OF "

From the .Middieioion (Conn) Sentinel.
The Globe has been unsparing in its attacks on
those Democrats who accepted Office under Presi-
dent Tyler, but has atterly qualified it as follows:
"Therc is no office out of the Cabinet, which may
not, in opinion be properly received, at the hands
Of Mr.. Tyler, by honest Democrats"
Oh, that's it, is III The explanation may be found
in the fact, that Mr. Blair, the editor has who
is U. s. District Attorney at ST. Louis, Missouri, and
son-in-law in the navy! Such ultraism as the
Globe exhibits in its uncaed for assaults on Presi-
dent Tyler, is very apt to lead 10 contradiction Of
precept to practice. The Globe should take more
manly ground and while it may not support the Pre-
sdent, should give him due credit for all his good
acts.

We think we have already given sufficient
quantity of unanswerable arguments proving
the Presidents honesty and consistency from

have told the truth at one time or the other, for
he has taken both sides of the question. II Mr..
TYLER is not consistent and honest Republi-
can, then the Globes assertion in lS4l was I'M
true. On the other hand, if he is such Re
publican-such "DELlyERER' as the Globe
most solemnly declared him TO be in l84l, then
the editor Of that print must necessarily assert
what is not true in 1843, when it calls him
Federal Wing. Hence he has told the truth at
one time and story the other. We insist up
on it he told the truth at one time or the other,
because he could not do otherwise. There was
no escape for him. He was obliged to tel! the
truth when he said Mr.. Tyler was consistent
Republican, or when he said he was not. He
must be one or the other
Well, TO fortify the Globe in its first position,
we have already adduced. and will continue to
adduce the concurrent testimony of the Albany
Argus, the New York Evening Post the Rich
mond Enquirer, and all the leading Democratic
journals.
But the best land certainly indisputable) evi
dence Of the correctness of the Globes position
in 1841, is the following letter from GENERAL
