DIR. Blair has son who holds the important Office
OF United States District Attorney ST Louis, Mis-

missions 10 The Navy. The Government Treasury
leeds the BaIrs very literally
Here is fine exposition of The honesty of The man
who edits the Washington Globe and who has for the
last iour months been engaged in denouncing every
who took office under the present administration
The Globe has again and again been understood 10
advise all Democrats not to accept office at the hands
OF John Tyler and whenever they have done SO they
have been read out of the party. But it appears TO
have receded from this ground-and any office short
OF Cabinet appointment has very graciousy deci-
ded may be taken with perfect propriety by any hon
est Democrat
But why this exception Is it DESTROYS of having
Democratic administration, and yet opposed to having
Democ, ats constitute the Cabinet? Can it expect
Democratic administration from Wigs? Or does
the editor consider 1t necessary to put ot having
Democratic administration until his iayorte candl-
date for the Presidency be elected, and the Globe
made he Government organ and in order to effect this
delay, to do all in his power TO prevent Democrats
from lending their influence and talents to the present
Administrations Such would seem to be the object
aimed a-but what will the people say to such sell
fish trckery and man9uvering'
we hardly know how to properly characterize the
course which the Globe has pursued in reference to
President Iyler's administration. That it has been
dictated by pure sehshness and Overweening est-
mate OF its own Importance and influence, there seems
to be no doubt. Probably if the three Blairs were
not in the receipt of salaries from the Government
the father would be of opinion that all offices were
Interdicted so far as the Democrats concerned.
1 hat 1t is repudated and condemned by the great
body of the Democrats of the country, is very GER
tam. The Globe is beginning to find this out, and
hence this growing desire retrace its steps, and CO.
yer up its former mpudent and reckless behaviour.
From the Massachusetts Independent Democrat.
person reading no other paper than the Wash
ingon Globe would hardly believe there existed a
Clay wing party in the country. The Globe is filled
with attacks upon prominent men of the Democratic
party while federalsts suffered to escape without
single broadside. This does nor evnce much gra-
titude on the part Of the Globe towards the party
which built it up and enriched its proprietors.
From the Petersburg Va.) Republican,
We thought Qrom its professons) that the Globe
was the last paper in the country which could have
been driven either into or out of any measure, by
what it calls the organization and intrigue" of the |
present Administration. As for its Organization -
the Globe has always ridiculed the idea and as for
its intrigue" why Mr. Tyler appointed even
tide waiter, but that the Globe knew his motives
long before Mr.. Tyler himself. But we must live
and learn; the Globe has been testing the con-
temned MIR. Tyler ard the reviled John Jones, have
all along been leading with ring in his nose this
great Dictator of Democracy. However, we are
glad to see the Globe behaving ITSELF we thought
organ to persevere in holding passage at arms
against all corners; and SO long the Globe con-
tInues to be tractable, very little, by what
sort OF excuses, il blunders of its late nsoence
From the .NeUburg (N ~ Courier
Can Democrat hold office under Mr.. Tller? We |
supposed that the practice Of the republican party in
all sections of our country, has decided this question
beyond further discussion. From the moment that |
the course of Mr.. Tyler was seen to be truly demo
cratic the members Of the party looked upon him as
friend, and supported him in carrying out his mea
sures. For time all went smooth until some be- |
gan to fear that Office holders under Mr. Tyler might
also become his supporters for the Presidency, and
thus defeat the expectations of other candidates.
The Globe has become alarmed on this head, and
recklessly denounces all who have accepted an office
under the present Administration; many of whom
are older democrats than MIR. Blair and far less
likely TO be swayed by pecuniary interest. 1t has
come to pretty pass truly when the word of MIR.
Blair is to constitute the dctum of the whole party !
To denounce men of known and tried principles, be-
cause Mr.. Tyler has conferred upon them Offices and
asked their assistance in carrying out democratic doc
trines is act of high handed injustice, which the
party will not tolerate. If admit, as principle
Of action, that we will acknowledge no man as one
Of our party who thus accepts Office, must also,
of necessity, refuse to acknowledge measures and de-
nounce our own doctrines because Mr. Tyler supports
them. The inconsistency of such is evident
on the slightest glance. The true principle is to sup
port the administration so far it shall be found
sustaining true democratic men and in good
aith Let the Globe act upon this rule and when il |
condemns it will be credited for honesty, but so long
as it INDUCES in ndiscrin,iaae opposition it does not
conceal its seshness with the thin garb of con-
sIstency. The mass of democrats know what are the
principles and privileges of democracy sufficiently
well 10 choose their own course.
