SEDUCTION OF OFFICE.


Speaking Of the editor of the Name Age, the
editor of the Globe remarks:
at was distressing to US TO be compelled to be-
lieve that the seduction of Office had prevailed over
him, il had with many others OF high standing in
our party, inducing him to abandon the cause 10
which he had devoted himself with much zeal and
with such signal ability, and to which he had render
ed so much service"
Can it be possible that I" many others of high
standing" in the Democratic party have been
"seduced" by Office, and induced to abandon
the cause 2" Can the Globes assertion be true
Or is it a gross libel on the character of the De-
mocratic party
Some years ago, when we admired The Globe
so excessively, and while we were yet ignorant
that the editor had g stocked the cardsn in 1926
for Mr. Clay, who cheated General Jackson, we
would have pronounced it an unqualified SIAN
der, il any man had assured US, that in lS43,
the Globe would assert that many Democrats of
"high standing" had, by "the seduction of
office" been induced to abandon the cause p
And now, although il is too true that the
Globe has said So, we unhesitatinsly give an
emphatic contradiction to the foul charge In
The first place no Democrat has been, or can
be, Tor all the Offices in the world, "induced TO
abandon the cause !" and in the next place. the
Republican Chief Magistrate al the head of thi,
Administration would despise and spurn any
Democrat. whether his " standinon be uhiphn
or low, whH would abandon hts prIncIpIes 10,
the sake of obtaining office. We believe be
will g turn out" any man of this description
who may be detected
No, no; the resident does not desire any
man whom he appoints to office 10 abandon his
principles or the " cause.-the true PRINCIPLES
Of the Government" and the causen of the
country.
The Globe mly entertain and express such
delracling opinions; the editor of that paper
may, II he sees proper, fancy that all Demo.
Gratis for certain price Gas he did in the famous
Clay and Adams coaiiton) would prove re-
crean' TO the "cause;" he may even go so far
as TO say that Democrats Of high standincp
have been, and may be, corrupted for a paltry
inducemeni-he may say all this, ten thousand
tunes over, and yet he will never be able TO
shake our faith in the honesty of the Republican
party TO which we have ever belonged.
We will neither be driven nor eniiced in 10
the supper, of Mr. Clay. Nothing shall induce
US to take part in The betrayal of the party.
