PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF THE EN-
ENVY

ENVY.
The Philadelphia Spirit Of the Times gave
warning some time since, (when the ultra Ben
ronians began to coalesce with the Ultra Wings
that the Pennsylvania, with its circulation OF
three or four hundred, 1--WE forget which, was
managed by bAtch of intriguing Federaisls.
Ever and anon, since we had this Information,
our attention has been attracted to certain arl-
Giles from that sheet, which we found copied in
the Globe, and which gave indubitable evidence
of the purpose of the Bentjnians to "rule or
Iuin"--lo dictate TO the Republican party, or
else betray il into the hands Of The Clay Fede-
ralists.
The first experiment TO dictate to the Repub-
lcan party was complete failure. The mana
gers meeting, held some time since in Phila-
delphia, at which Mr. Horn presided, was
such miserable abortion, that Mr. Benton re-
solved forthwith to betray the great Democratic
party. After the news of the failure of the
meeting reached Washington, Mr.. Benton de-
clared he would support "such Federaists as
the elder Adams, Timothy Pickering, and J.
G. Adams, rather than John Tyler"-and as for
Mr. Calhoun he would support Henry Clay

From that monument Mr.. Benton and his
friends set to work TO destroy the Democ attic
party. They pretended TO assail the Treaty
when their main object was 10 crush majority
of The Democratic S, majors. And when the
President appointed one of the ablest Republi
starving wolves. But not content with one
victim, they resolved 10 exterminate The whole
Porter family, merely because one of its mem
