THE GLOBE IN lS4l
The Globe having seen fit to discontinue its
hostility 10 Mr.. Clay in l843 and to open all lis
batteries on President Ty.er, whom it stigma
Uses as traitor to Mr.. Clay and the "greai
Wig party" our curiosity has induced us TO
look back al its course in lS4l, during the extra
session, when II was one of the spontaneous

pose, from time TO time, to give 10 our readers
We will commence with an extract from The
Globe of August 9th, 1871, when The first Bank
bill was in the hands Of the President:
If Mr. Tyler were to sign the Bank BILL it
would be nothing less than admission that he con-
scented to be set up candidate cheat the People
into the support Of Bank President Disgusting him
SELF under The professions Of long life devoted oppos
fon TO A. To-day the law establishing the Indepen.
dent Treasury bill repeated ,cih re,c to coerce
The PRESIDENT into the adoption of the Bank az the
fiscal agent of the Government. Mr.. CLAY is deter
mined that the PRESIDENT shall haze no ground to re.
treat to but the first Ireasury act. THIS WILL POUND
suFFIciENT, under the support of popular opinion.
The belief gains ground hourly that the Bank will be
met by a veto"
The FIRST Treasury act' is now in one.

On the 10th August the Ieto came II threw
the Globe into paroxism of ecstacy. That
print exclaimed as follows:
We think that it decides the question of a Bank
IN any form for the present Presidential term AND
THAT THE FRIENDS OF THE CONSTITUTION MAY clL-
EBRATE THIS VETO THEY DID THAT OF GENERAL
JACKSON, AS GREAT DELIvEREHcE FROM THE FATAL
SYSTEM OF CORRUPTION WHICH IN THE COURSE OF
TINE COULD NOT FAIL TO MAKE DOLLARS, AND NOT
VOTES, SOVEREIGN IN THIS COUNTRY
Now, who would have thought after such an
euloslsuc ou,burst for the " Teto President"
the Globe would excommuncate such men as
Henshaw and Nelson merely for accepting Of
flee under him2 That it would pitch Amos
Kendall overheard Tor advising his contempora-
rles TO poiat their guns at MIR. Clay instead Of
Mr.. Tyer-and " discard Penn" for not assail-
ing the latter2
But The Globe was Cat that time) particular
ly anxious TO vindicale the President from the
foul aspersions Of the Clay men, 1t thus con-
tinues its notice of the Veto:
BESIDES the political blessing, this Veto bring, with
IT MORAL, which we hope is pregnant with blessing.

And Isl not strange spectacle non. 10 see
the Globe aiding and abetting the "Federa

nounced so bitterly in IS412
But we Will make another extract or two from
the Globes editorial oulpurngs in IS4l, TO show
that II did Lot spare Mr.. Clay then
"The Federal Representatives in Congress. md
their leader, MR. CLAY have nothing 10 plead in
paliaton Of the shocking sacrifice they would make Of

TTLERs opinions were before he was elected but
since. In his FIRST NJ sage he not only int mated hi,
own but proclaimed that the opinions Of the People
had been again and again declared against Bank
and yet they have pressed upon him and demanded /
his consent TO the establishment Of a National Bank
IN the most odious and Objectionable form ever fash
toned in this or any other country"
The Globe concludes by making its acknow-
Judgments to the President-acknowed Judgments
which, however much the Globe NAV no,o be
disposed to detrsct from them, were felt, and
uttered, and uiH be adhered 10, by the People
owe make our Acknowledgements TO Mr. TYLER for

position firmly land has he not done 1t; Ask MIR |

public BENEFACTOR. We care not mhat h has for
fiscal agent or whether he has any fiscal agent so
that, Whatever management is instituted IL is con-
fined IN its powers simply TO the business Of the Urea
sury and no preext gwen to place it beyond the |
reach Of the People, under the abused principle OF
rested rights contracts. We hold that the rights of
The People and the Government cannot be contracted
awsy-but for the peace Of The country we rejoice
that the PRESIDENT excludes, as we understand has
veto the possibility of its application, formerly
10 any system Of management Of the finances which
may he instituted, by excluding all private connec-
ton or partnership with the public agency and hold
ing II strictly and simply 10 the discharge Of public
trust.n
On The 10th August, ls4l, the Globe was
ready TO become the "offcisl orgsn,n and to adj
vocate the Exchequer. Prerious to that day
all or nearly all of the appointments, since so
obnoxious TO the Globe, had been made. Wby.
then, thousands will ask, does it now assaa the
