OPINION S
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.

We continue the comments Of the Deme
cratic press on the dctalorial course Of the
Globe
From The Harrisburg pa Argus.
TpE WssuMeTos GLoBE.-This paper has for
years been the accredited organ Of the Democratic
party at the seat of Government Patronized by the
entire Democracy Of the Union, its editors have
amassed from this source, and the Congressional and
Executive printing, immense fortunes Growing, as
most individuals do, insolent with the accumulation
Of wealth, they have atterly thrown that same DOM
ncering spirit, often the attendant OF change
from poverty riches into the columns OF their pa

energies for the last eighteen months have been d.
rected 10 the weakening Of every other candidate Tor
the Presidency. In this warfare against their isvo-
rites rivals they have not boldly declared their hos
tIty to them. This would have endangered their
chance fur the public printing the approaching win

houn, Buchanan, Johnson, and Cass that have had
the courage 10 laugh to scorn the dctauon Of this

the secret machines Of the " accidental Presi-
dent" This course, 1t thought would insure
the speediest condemnation, and deprive them OF the
influence that the strength of their respective ia
vorItes would naturally give them The unjust
and unmanly conduct Of the editors Of that paper
towards the Spectator, the organ Of Mr.. Calhoun,
at Washington is one Of the best illustrations OF
its dishonorable policy. The raising Of Mr.. Cal
houn's name by the Spectator, and the Globes
assault upon its character, almost stimuli
taDeous. From that period down 10 the present,
not an opportunity has presented itself that the
dagger has not been thrust into Mr. Calhoun by the
Globes discovery Of some new feature Of identity
between that gentleman's organ at Washington and
the ridiculous pretensions Of the acting President
The latest ground for attack has been the circum-
stance OF the Spectators publishing some govern

of a clique can reconcile this garipg Inconsistency,
must be left TO itself to determine. II has however
more than Inconsistency TO answer for. Its loud and
pharasaical professions Of honesty and its notorious
want OF all proper principle OF government is some
what more serious. Stunning the public ear with
its reiterated warnings against any connection with
the present national Administration it has lust fed
and extolled in the very same paper, direct, known
and open coalition Of wing and protested democratic
