THE GLOBE DOWN UPON MR.. KENDALL.
From The Glib of Afond,y

1.-THE Expositor has thrice avowed the opinion
that the door Of the Democratic Convention ought to
be opened 10 Mr.. Ty Ter as a Democratic candidate
for the Presidency declared its willingness sup
port him and joined the Boston Post in welcoming
Mr.. Henshaw 10 the Cabinet as a deserving Demo
crat-one, therefore, who could bring Democratic
support TO it, by giving in Democratic adbesp and
now we covertly rebuked for using offensive
,csapons" against these worthless, which should BE-
reserred fr the Whiss"
"THRIsE~ That 5 enough. Mr.. Kendall
may now consider himself excommun cat d
=" ridden over rough-,hod," and " dragged TO the
stake" He was thought to stand between the
Globe and the Congressional printing, and OF
course it was n, cessary to put him out of the
way. He is now read out of the party as cf-
fec:uslly as Messrs. Henshaw, Nelson, Porter,
Shannon, Dawson, the editor OF the Boston Post,
and about half million others "too numerous
TO mention" We should like to know if in
banishing him from the party, he has been libe
rated from the prison bounds.
The Globe says:
"The uneasIness guardedly expressed in several
passages Of the last Exposor referring to the Globe
as to the use II makes of its c6ensre weapons" can
only arise out OF our oppugnation to Mr. Tyler
whom Mr.. Kendall considers a Democratic cspd,-
date. We do NOT so consider him"
Mr.. Blair is not only an oppugner of Presi-
dent Tyler, but pugnacious with any body else
that interferes. Mr.. Kendall should have recol-
lecled that the Globe was the Dictator of the
Democratic Universe. Mr.. X, ndal should not
have dared 10 consider Mr.. Tyler one of the
Democratic candidates: Mr.. Blair docs not

VALUABLE HINTS.

Kendal's Exposition is administering some
well-limed hints 10 the Globe. We find the FOL
lowing items in the last Exposi,or:
THE GLOBE-MR. VAN buren,.
The Globe of the 9th ult. says; "The heterose-
influences combined against him Mr. van
Burenl furnish decisive evidence of his strength.
They have concentrated all their forces against hun
as the buwark of Democracy; and the point OF al
tack clearly indicates ohere the rally should be made ~
defence"
We think every Democratic paper should follow
the example of the Globe in avowng its preference
whether It be for Mr.. Van Buren, any other cand-
date. II is one of the means by which the will o.
the majority can be ascertaned. These avowas
however, ought, in opinion, to be without reheo-
ton upon any other Democratic candidate. Let GU
offensive weapons be reserved for the Wings

letter from this State informs us that there is a
general dissatisfaction in the Democratic Jarty at the
position in which they have been placed by the ac-
ton Of the State Convention held last January That
Convention assembled for the purpose Of nomina-
ting state officers, and took upon themselves to elect
Delegation to the Presidential Convention-all we
believe, Van Buren, mccullough, says the writer, it
is well known that the party there prefer Cass or
Johnson. He thinks the people will support the
State nominations with sufficient unaninty TO car
ry them-but not SO, he says, with regard TO Van
Buren,. With many of the party he has favor,
and the unfair manner taken by the political mana
gers 10 the vote Of Indiana for his nomination
likely TO be fatal TO his chance Of getting her vote
in the election. II would be well If the wire-w orkers
would think Of this. IT would add little to Mr.. Van
Burens reputation TO be again nominated and again
defeated. The politicians may nominate, but the
people alone elect-and of them snap, judg-
ments can be taken. If they like not the nomina-
tons, if they have cause to believe that their own
wishes have been overlooked and that they have been
treated chattels to be transferred at pleasure, by
the managers, they may not indeed rebel--but they
will be dissatshedthey will stay at home. and the
candidates will be defeated - Charleston Mercury

HON. JOHN b. WELLER.

We were much grsti6ed to learn that this dstin-
guished gentleman responded to Auditor Brough's
TRADE Of abuse at the late Cincinnati Van Buren,
meeting. MIR. Weller did not consider an honest
support Of the President in the discharge Of his ar
duous and responsible duties, is incompatible with
hearty preference Of Mr. Van Burcn's claims in 1874.
He had, as a member of Congress, witnessed the
difficulties the President had to encounter and the
hrmness and independence he displayed, when every
friend Of the Democratic party-eyery friend Of the
country was looking to him alone for the protection
Of the Constitution. lie had witnessed and partici-
pated in the joy which spontaneously burst from the
bosom Of every Democrat; when the veto was read,
which proclaimed the Constitution protected from
violence and the people protected from the iron rod
Of a moneyed despotism In view Of such facts, he
could no, set by and hear President Tyler abused
He repudiated the idea, that the democracy of those
who received Office al the hands Of President Tyler
was thereby justly brought into question. Mr.. Wei
Ter merits the gratitude Of the democratic party for
his manly and dsinterested defence Of the President
from the selfish and malignant attacks Of proesed de.
mocrats. 1t is such men whether in favor Of Van
Buren,, Buchanan, Calhoun, Johnson, or Cas-, who
are to save the democratic party from defeat in 1874
