GENERAL. ..READING OUT"


II seem, thai a mere defamation will not satisfy
the bloody designs of the 'riumvlrate-'hey
must read the whole Republican party on. OF
their ranks
Several weeks ago we detected symptoms OF
a disposition among the exclusive hard money
humbuggers TO read GOVERNOR SHANNON, oi
Ohio, a severe lesson, because he did not seem
DISPOSED TO ago the whole &c. Finding
themselves rather too weak to force him over
board, they have since confined their operations
TO iasidious efforts to undermine him. In their
letters they say he is not TO be irused''--n
their conversations they say he has been "se-
duced nv the Tyler men,"
The pexi victim was GOVERNOR PORTER, OF
Pennsy lvana. The Globe pronounced him
hors la loi, as soon as his message was deliver
ed His ma ne was on the prescribed llst-he
would no, join the conspiracy against Repub
lican President-and the first pretext was seiz
ed on to read him out Of the Democratic ranks
We are astonished TO see the Charleston
Mercury endorsing the Globe IN this mat
ter. The Mercury says: We are glad
the Globe has read Governor Porter on,
of the Democratic ranks !" We would
have thought il more natural had the Mercury
sympathised with the Governor, for that paper.
We are quite certain, will soon find itself In the
same category, unless the Bentonian trumvl-
rate is speedily overthrown
Governor Bouck, though not yet condemned.
is closely watched by the creatures of the Jaco-
bin triumvirate. The organs Of the Radicals
in New York are teeming with high toned al
rice to the Governor-articles precisely similar
to those which appeared in the ultra Wing jour
nails on the accession of President Tyler, pre-
scribing the course of conduct that ought to be
pursued by him. If Governor Bouck refuses to
be dictated 10, why, then, he must 60 over
board.
But the last, and most extraordinary proscrip
ton, is that of Governor MORTON
The hast Nep York Erening Post, after
quoting paragraph from the Governors Mes
sage, in relation 10 the Tariff, thus condemns
him:
"That tax which operates insidously, taking
from the people contributors, the nature and extent
of which they do not understand and which operates
J ga Ga e dsstsrous discrimination it
helps the manufacturer TO enrich himself the cost
ofthe consumer, is doctrine which, with all respect
to the writer Of the message, we must pronounce
most pre- posterous. IL indirect taxation be Dsidous,
in other words frsud-if be inequtable in other
words, opprcssive-the imaginary promotion Of Ame-
rean industry which is only the suppression ofsome
modes Of industry for the sake Of cherishng Others,
is certainly reason for adopting it. On the con-
trary the ''wise discrimination" is adding fIaud TO
fraud, and oppression 10 oppression"

statesmen and patriots whose names are on the
list ofproscriptiens made out by the Bentonan
trumvrate. But we forbear. We forbear, be
cause our remarks are liable to be misappre-
hended. There are those who imagine that we
enjoy secret satisfaction in Witnessing the sys-
tematic destruction wrought by the Globe and
Mr.. Benton. They are in error. We are
Republicans, and speak as Republicans should
speak, when they behold danger approaching.
We denounce those fanatics who seek to
SOW disco among men, We scorn and de-
fy the sef-constluled PoyTIrr OF party. As the
friends and supporters of this Administration, we
utterly contcmn Mr.. Benton's bulls Of excom-
municaion. We stand beyond his reach. We
are independent of him, and fear none Of his
mercensry political assassins. But when we
see him day by day stsbbing the great Repub-
csn party, because IT will not cons, nj TO plunge
headlong into all the sinks Of utraism which
he has prepared for it-then it becomes our duty
TO speak out plainly and boldly.
An esteemed political friend thinks we spoke
too plainly and too boldly in our article yrsler-
day. No, bit We see that the macbina
lions of a wicked triumvirate in our midst, il
not promptly checked, will produce ruin
and disgrace. We merely depicted the
dangers, that they might be avoided in Time
There is but one way to avoid them. II

the REIN, aud are driving on TO perdi
ton. We repeat, that few months more
and the absolute sway usurped by the tri-
umvirale Of unprinciped leaders will suffice tc
dash the party to atoms.
Believing this with our whole soul, viii any
honest Republican censure US for holding up The
facts TO the gaze of the wohd7 We do not pause to
inquire whether we shall be censured for dis
charging what we believe TO be our duty. We
take the responsibility" We conduct fee

We say again that if The Globe and Mr.. Ben

other strong men cut of the party; it they are

rralion; If the friends Of the avowed aspirants
10 the Presidency sha continue to distract and
divide the Republican party, as was done in
Georgia--rbeu it will not require the gift Of
