"PUT MONEY IN THY PURSE. /"

The contradictions of the Globe on the sub.
ject of Democrats taking Office under Presi-
dent Tyler, can be rcconciled only upon the
principle, or rather rant Of principle, implied in
the caption Of this article. Messrs. HENsuAw
and NELSON, steadfssr, distinguished and con
sistent Democrats Of long standing being called
by President Tyler into his Cabinet, to as
SIS, him in the Administration Of the Govern
ment on Democratic principles, are denounced,
day after day. through long editorials, as trail
tors 10 the Democratic party, as accessories, af-
ter the fact, TO all Webster's Federalism. and
accessories, before the fact, TO all the Federal
ism which the Globe anticipates from the pre-
sent Cabinet In word. so far as the Globe
can do u, they are read out Of the Democratic
party. They have taken ofice from Mr. Tyler,
and, therefore, no longer Democrats. We
can understand this. But we cannot under
stand, cxccp, as explained by the caption, how

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE HON MR.
wlCKLiFFE, POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The Baltimore Sun, of this morning, says.
on the arrival OF the steamboat Georgia, las,
evening. from Norfolk, our citizens were startled
with runor Of IN attempt 10 assassinate the
Postmaster General, during her passage up The
bay, by John Gardner, son Of Colonel Gardner,
late clerk in one Of the departments nj Wash
ing'on. Upon inquiry, we asceriained that The
occurrence took place rs Mr.. WickliHe, with his
daughters and niece, were adv ancing towards the
dining saloon, wh,n gardner encountered the
party, and before his purpose could be well con
jeciured, suddenly raised knife with which
he had been cleaning his nails, and with great
violence stabbed Mr.. w. in the chest. Gardner
was instantly seized by Lieut.. Bradford, and
prevented from repeating The blow; his person
was thsn properly secured and he was in
guarded custody until the boat arrived in Bal,i-
more. Mr.. Wickliffe was conveyed to his
berth, and such relief afforded him a, the cir
cumstances would afford. but when he arriy-
ed here he was in much pain. DR.. Smith was
Instantly summoned TO attend him, who upon
examining the wound pronounced that il was
not dangerous, the knife having struck upon the
upper part Of the sternum or breast bone with
out having penetrated it, The shock IRON the
violence of the blow, it was supposed occasion
ed the pain which Mr.. W. experienced in hi,
side, and inasmuch as there appeared no imme
date necessity for his removal it was thought
expcdient that he should remain on board during
the night, where every necessary attention could
be paid him, and the excitement of his removal
avoided. Gardner was la.en into custody by
officer Mckeown, and conveyed in hack 10
the Office Of Justice Gray, before whom the
foregoing facts being detailed, the prisoner was
committed 10 Jail TO await a further examina-
lion.
TO- p. M.-We have just returned from the
Georgia, and learn from Or. Theobad, in at
tendance with DIR. Smith, that the patient is en-
joying comfortable sleep, the pain in his side
having abated. We learn also from the physi-
clan, that Mr.. Wickliffe expressed his full con-
vc,oa tina, Gar liner was quite deranged spoke
very feelngy Of The young man's relatives, to
whom he referred as intimate ficnds, and des-
patched a person to prevent, if possible, the
commitment of Gardner to jail. The instru-
ment with which the wound was inflicted was
ordinary dirk knife, with blade about five
inche, in length.

whenever they appeared in view. The number of
Sioux Indians killed is not known the Pawnees re-

secured against their ncusions by the locations Of
