THE GLOBE DIcTAroRs

| ed individuals who were constrained to oppos
tration, afford many instructive lessons for .h'
young politician and from which some curiou
comparisons OF motives and objects, as exh bll
ed in their acts, may be drawn. For instance

body-else, would decline The votes Of any TOR
ton of their fellow citizens-and sfrt that, b,
his means, the Democratic party suii red de
feat; but, F" as long as his acts are Democratic,
say they, give will sustain his Administrator
10 the end of his present term, when we vii
elect one Of oar own party" On the other hanc
number of the presses devoted 10 Mr.. Var
Buren,, with equal inJiscfelion, which name Mr.
Calhoun as one Of the recognized Democratic
candidates, are altogether unwilling TO have any
fellowship with Mr.. Tyler We presume these
presses have never entered into a comparison o
the claims Of the two statesmen, estimated by
them so differently. Mr.. Calhoun certainly
abandoned General Jackson several years before
Mr.. Tyler withdrew his support from his ad
minislration. Mr.. Tyler nerer did oppose
General Jackson-he only opposed one or two Of
his measures-one OF them in compliance with in
slructons--but voted for him both in 1928 and
1892. But Mr.. Calhoun not only opposed the
General al the rolls, and the measures OF his ad-
minstration, but went over with arms in hi
hands and fought for years in the ranks Of the
enemy. He voted against the nomination Of
Mr.. Van Buren, as Minister to Ensland-Mr.
Tyler voted for il. He continued the war
against General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,,
in the Senate, until lS37-NIr. Tyler, when he
could not support the Proclamation, racafed
his seat and retired from office, resolv-
ed never to bear arms against the old hero, if
he could not fight for him. And he remained
in private life until the nation called him forl,
in 1910. We allude 10 these things, not in a
Bnren, which we desire TO be understood, but to
show the absurdiiy of the course Of some of our
Democratic contemporaries.
But we have strayed from the subject. The
Globe clique Of Exclusives, for the purpose of
monopoHzing the spoils, began their pro. Grip
tive policy al the early day we have named, and
every honest man whom they thought, from his
position, would be likely TO oppose their hyena-
like operations, was, by hook or by crook, driven
from the party. Judge White, Mr.. Tyler, &c
q, a tba vic nj nCa
forecast could easily see that the loss of scores
OF such men every year, must ultimately result,
ms II did finally, in the overthrow of the party.
In 1886, after the old lion had retired from the
field, If all the elements of opposition had been
the diminuton Of the Democratic
party, caused by the diclatorial intolerance of
the Globe clique, would have admitted of the ele-
vation of General Harrison In 1910, after
another four years Of "reading out" and " drag
glng TO the stake" Harrison and Tyler came in
like whrlwind. Thus ended the proscriptive
policy. Such was the downfall of the Gob,
clique, and the destruction Of the party, precipi-
lated by the violence of lis "organ." Then il
was that President Tyler proved to the world
Notwithstanding all the abuse the Globe had
heaped upon him before he resigned his seat in
the Sena e and retired to private life, that he was
an honest, true, and consistent Republican, as
General Jackson ever admitted him to be-
Wings voted for Mr.. Tyler, i is true; but il
Is no less true tina, they did it with knowledge
that he was an Bank, States night Jefer-
sonian Republican, and this they asserted on all
tor Of
las they did, from the Van Buren, ranks. And
when President, almost his first act proved that
he still occupied the same ground held by him
under General Jackson's administration. His
subs, quent course has placed The Republican
party IN precisely The same Triumphant All
fude IL occupied under General Jackson. lie
has recalled to the party most of the noble spi-
rts that were bani he'd by he prof gate tyranny
of the Globe and its evil advisers il years past
and if The same career Of folly and intolerance
be avoided in future, the doom of Federai m is
sealed forever But like course will produce
similar results. If the party, RESTORED
BY JOHN TYLER, should submit to the
guidance Of the Globe, now more dictatorial and
intoersnt than ever, its success will be as n. et-
ing as the gleam Of the passing meteo-. Choose

AT the recent commenc, ment of Marshall
College, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, held on
the 9Th inst, the degree Of IL. ID. was con
ferred, pursuant TO the unanimous resolution of
the Board Of Trustees, on the Honorable JAMES
MANSON PORTER, as a mark Of the high esti-
nation entertained for his character as a gentle
man and civilian, and for his literary attain
ments."
