THE NEW MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

The Globe very complacently reckons all the
Democratic members of the next Congress, as
so many sheep of its peculiar and exclusive
fold, and intimates that none of them will treat
the President in friendly and liberal manner
in their political capacity.
Now we have the very best authority to know
that majority of them are determined 10 ex-
ercise their own discretion as regards their
friendship for the President and their support Of
the Administration We have the very best
means of knowing that many who are the
avowed advocates of Mr.. Van Buren's cleo
lion in 1914, have resolved nevertheless to ex-
tend liberal support to the Republican mea'
sures which the Chief Magistrate may recon-
mend TO Congress and to reciprocate the cour-
tesy which has uniformly been exercised by MIR.
Tyler towards Mr.. Van Buren, as well as the
rest of the distinguished individuals who have
been spoken of in connection with the Presl-
dcncv Even Mr.. Van Buren, himself, we ven
ture to say, not standing in fear of the Globes
analhemas, nor feeling the necessity of follow
ing the example of that inlolerant print in its
coarse ribaldry and vulgar denunciations, enter
dent which should subsist between patriots and
statesmen agreeing, or very nearly agreeing, in
principle. And such, also are the friendly re-
lalions existing between all the other disin-
guished candidates and the President
Hence we are quite positive in the assertion
that the Globe is doomed to Notifying dsap-
pontment, when it shall attempt to dictate a
e
of the next Congress, which would be both
repugnant to their feelings as honorable men
and highly detrimental to their interests as
politicians. There may not be many among
them avowed Tyler men-men who prefer Mr..
Tyler for the Presidency above all others: but
as Democrats, we fancy they intend to treat
with becoming respect and proper consideration
the Democrat who occupies the exalted station
of Chief Magistrate Of the nation.
The Globe will doubtless learn that among
the Democrats elected to Congress, not one of
them "spurned" the support of the friends OF
the Administration at the polls. 1t will also
learn that among the candidates for the Presi-
dency there is not one but would gladly receive
the aid of Mr.. Tyler's friends in the hour OF
need.
But the Globe may be assured that the act OF
President Tyler which spread so much gladness
and rejoicing through the Republic ranks in
l94l, and which, as we have seen by the OK
tracts from the columns of the Globe, found
vent in the roar of artillery-gleaming bonfres
shouts and rocessons--will sooner or later
be properly appreciated and rewarded by a just
and generous People. No vfcaton can OBJ
scure it-no calumny obliterste it from his
tory-and none who can be brought before the
People for their suiIrages will be able TO point
back to such an important achievement in their
behalf
The Federal leader stood like a sangune vic
tor scowling at the PROSTATE ranks OF the De
mocracy, and deliberately preparing to rvet tht
chains of monster monopoly on their necks
which would bind them in Subsection for twenty
years. The disciple of Jefferson rent asunde
their chains and enabled them to overthrow tn,
enemy. And does the Globe believe that gen
erous party thus cnfranchised, will repay the
friend with continual SCOTS aud contumely2
