THE QUESTION.

L
question ia the next Presidential contest. On
This subject the Presidents position is clearly
enough define l. Then why should any OF those
presses which profess 10 desire the ascendeney
Of the anti Bank party, devote all their time
and space ia lruitess assaults on this Admins
lraton? We submit the question 10 the editor
of the Richmond Enquirer, as the most autho
rative ,dilor, in all candor, and we desire
frank response.
! We ask if il is good policy for Democratic
presses 10 assail this Administration and we
ask !, while we asseu that Mr.. Tyler and his
friends will be found, in the next Presidential
hattie. contending hand TO hand against the
Bank candidate, whoever he may be. we ASK
if il can be good policy for Democratic journals
! 10 persist in a course calculated TO drive 'hou
sands and tens of thousands, who avow 'hem-
selves true Republicans and who are ready 10
support any regularly nominated, capable ana
honest Republican candidate far the Presid'n-
cv INTO The ranks of the arch Bank FedeIalist-
Henry Claw Can il be good policy, parlicu-
larly at such junciure as this, when 'htre are
symptoms of dsunon-nay, perhaps while we
write. divisions are occurring, which may threat
en- the existence Of the party. and which
certainly require the prompt and undivided at
teniion Of all the leading Republican journals
in the country Z? Can such conduct be wise, at
moment like this, when the Bank party Is
mar haled in battle array-in one solid pha-
lanx-a unit in motive and purpose-waiting
for the signal aud "eager Tor the fray"-in-
spred with no irrational hope Of obtaining de-
cisive victory, pithom carrying me appeal 10
ne House of Representatives. ooh, >" all
uauuur, II, at such a moment, anything can be
achieved, either for Mr.. Fan Buren, or any
ty, by the coarse yilifcation Of Mr.. Tyler which
teens in the columns of the Globe2
The Globe of this datc-we write on Thurs
days absolutely crammed with the ridiculous
asserts that some impostor sent Us an account
of meeting that was never held, which, most
suspiciously, was instantly exposed by the Clay
prints, and seems TO have afforded them an ex-
lraordinary fund of amusement, and enabled
them to write "a vast deal in ridicue Of the Pre-
sdent. Now, if Washington was at the head
Of affairs, We ask if stranger in distant State
might not as easily forge the proceedings of a
meeting and procure their publication Should
not such forgery, under any circums ances
be regarded by all just and honorable men
with scorn and Indignation ? And yet all the
snecrs and SCOTS Of the Clay press which have
been going the rounds for weeks, are repeated
in the G. ODE OF Thursday, in its leading edi O.
rial.
! In the next column Of the Globe, the editor
assaults the President al length for making som,
Democratic appointments, and in the course o
mark:
"The Federal party have not, in any Of the New
England States, far we have seen, given in ad
hesion TO Mr.. Tyler or to Mr.. Calhoun
| Now we do not see how the appointment
of Democrats 10 Office can cause the I" Fedora
partyn TO give III It's adhesion" TO the Presi
dent. And we think, nay we know, that b,
does not dc,re any such acquisition. As 70
| Mr.. Calhoun, who is coupled by The editor o
! the Globe with the President in seeking Fede
,al support. "a. not ou'hori1od to speak fO
him, but we presume the insinudtion is withou
| justification in truth We presume there is M
greater identity of interests and urposes exist
ing between Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Calhoun, thar
there is between Mr.. Tyler and Mr. Van Buren
or any other distinguished Republican. All III,
coalitions which the Globe would impute to Mr.
Tyler, are sheer fabricatiuns. Mr.. TYLER, a
President of The United States, will, we hav,
every reason to know, discharge the duties o
his office with an eye single TO the welfare ant
glory of his country. And a the attempts [,
make it appear that the influence Of his Admin
lslraton is used TO split the party, or to build III
any particular candidate to the prejudice Of hi
rivals, will be exposed in the stquel-rebuke
by the facts as they exist-and their maliciou
lalsitv acknowledged by all intelligent men.
Then, we ak, if it can be wisdom in itself
or justice TO the Republican rarry, for those VIII
assume TO be Democratic editors, to as. all tn
President in the ST, lie Of the Clay Whigs-an
to assail him continually, without seeming l.
be aware that there is an enemy, a dang, rou
eaemy, to combat7 And we address ourself a
young soldier in the political field, in quest O
information, TO the Napoleon of the Press.
We possess the material to crush the foe, an,
therefore we have nothing TO apprehene as a,
editor but the consequences to the parry result
ing from such warfare may be worthy of grav
consideration.
