A SAMPLE OF WHAT is COMING.
Tue Globe of Wednesday, in speaking OF the
recent election Of friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, as
officers Of the House Of Representatives, says
.Iu.te.d Of the friends of the supposed strongest
candidate for the Presidency becoming the point Of
attack Of all the rest they have become the points OF
concentration Of the whole force Of the party This
will indicate how Aow0robte and patriotic party,
preferrng the triumph OF the cause TO all persoaai
aud sfI considerations sAoaid aud doubtless sriA,
use its great national convention to heal divisions,
and make good the ends conte mplated BY the people
who convene it. II will ascertain the man on whom
the mass Of the party would have the entire Demo
cratic suffrage conferred, and he will unite all dele
gates Of every other Presidential asprani In favor Of
his nomination"
So the matter is all comfortably settled aud
applicants for office under the next Adminstra-
lion, FROM the post Of Cabinet Min ster TO that
of tide-waiter on a custom-house, may now be-
gin 10 deposite their petitions and testimonials
with the clerk of the Globe Office, TO be fled
away in his pigeon holes. Bow low and rever-

your creation. for he makes and unmakes Presi-

half dozen members of Congress would be but

the South, nor dream of Texas, until the battle
of the Kilkenny cats is over, for abOtionlsts
will be in the melee, on either side.

the Baltimore Convention as to the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency: there can be no
other than '.personal and selfish considerations"
for refusing 10 do so. And as il is beyond all
question that Mr.. Van Buren, will be the choice
Of majority Of the delegates to the Baltimore
Convention, whose opinions are already known,
it follows that no honorable Democrat will re-
fuse to vote for Mr.. Van Buren,. Does not the
editor Of the Globe know-would he not be will
ling to stake his chahces Of salvation, whatever
they may be, on the certainty-Ihal Mr.. Van
Buren,, if he lives, will be the nominee of the
Baltimore Convention Does he not know
that the mode of constituting the Convention
was per,inacously insisted on for the purpose of
making the assurance of Mr. Van Burens nom
ination doubly sure? Is there one-tenth part
of the doubt concerning the determination of
that Convention, that there was respecting the
choice Of Speaker Clerk by the present House
Of Representatives?
We have, Therefore, a line drawn BY this ar
rogant type-setter TO Congress-lhs corrupt bar
gain-maker and auoNDAM tool Of Mr. Clay
which one claiming the title of Democrat,
though he may have earned it by whole life Of
undertaking adherence to principle, and repeated
sacrifices of "personal and selfish considera.
TONS" must dare transcend, under the penalty
Of being sligmalzed as dishonorable. The
friends of other candidates may be INDUCED
with The expression Of their predictions, pro-
vided that they do not attempt to carry them
into practice; they may ramble about in play
hours, but when the bell rings, they must come
in and say the lesson as it is taught them, or be
whipped and expelled, no matter how well
grown they may be, or how high they stand in
But is the Globe sure that in the civilization

very large conclusions from very small premises7

pie can take no sort Of interest Surely upon
such an occasion as that, no friend Of any of the
Presidential candidates would wish TO divide the
parry, or introduce feeling of acrimony and
therefore, as a matter of course, the wishes of
the majority were acceded to, without much in
quiry or examination as to how the expression
of those wishes had been obtained. This fully
proves the honorable" disposition and dsinrer-
esiedness Of the friends Of the Presidential can
didates.
But the choice Of a Presidential candidate il.
quite different matter-one Of intense interest
10 the whole People: and we doubf whether the
friends Of the respective aspnants will readily
submit to be ricked or managed out of their pre-
objections, or 5uied out Of them By threat of
being denounced as dishonorable.
The friends Of the Administration have all
been read out of the Globes party and yet they
