MIR. Gushing has been appointed Minister to China.
We hope Mr.. Tyler will recall this appointment.
His not doing will him TO lose the good OPT
Mon of some, who from sympathy for his fororn and
destitute condition are disposed to think as well OF
him as possible.
The above paragraph is taken from the Pc
tersborg (Va.) Republican. We beg leave to
say distinctly to the Republican, that we re-
gard this paragraph as insol mt and contempt
bic in the extreme, and unworthy the editor OF
Democratic journal. If Mr. Tyler be sin a
iorlorn and destitute condition." il is because he
has sustained his integrity as a gentleman in
defiance of The scourge, Of party, in defiance OF
threats or of persuasions addressed to his am
bition; it is because be mas warred for the prin-
ciples of Republ canism against hi own per-
WITT |" nc nau oufyeu me wishes of Il ",
paty2 Who doubts that he had eveI me rex he
able hope that, scarcely yet in the prime of life,
before his death every political wish might have
been fulfilled And when with noble
dlsinteIesIedness, which, We take il on our
selves TO say, but few politicians in the
land would have exhibited, he has abored and
suffered for the great republican principles of The
Constitution as no man has yet done, il is I'M
Just IN an editor, unworthy of an American, to
use such language, or 10 invoke such sentiment,
IN connection with his name. But for John Ty-
Ter, "the iorom and destitute" the uhole Fed
erai policy roaId nor hare been fired on The
county. He, and he alone, aver,ed that dead
ly blow at our institutions. If the Republi
can has lis preferences among the Presidential as
prants, al least let il treat The Presideat TO whom
the Republican party is so much indebted, with
respect. But Mr.. Tyler does not ask for such
sympathy as this Of The Republican. He had
much rat cr have the undi.gui,ed enmiiy Of
that journal. The old Virginia feeling revolts
against it.
AS for Mr.. Tyler's beng fOrlorn and desti
tutc," this question is YET to be tried. The race
is not always TO the swift, or the battle TO the
strong. And already the fact cannot he dis
gulssd that John Tyler is the strongest man with
the People in the United States. With the
Republican parry rallying about him, rictorv
rs certain. The same pror o,iion cannot, with
truth, be announced, respecting any other indi-
vldnal IN the Republican party.
As Tor reVoking Mr.. Cushing's appointment,
the idea was start ~ certain Federal papers
the New Yodk Courier and Enquirer AT their
head But, upon inquiry, the idea appeared so
absurd, that every paper, we believe, has backed
out from it. IL scarcely becomes the Republj-
can to be INDUCING in such unaduIlerated non
sense
II we are harsh 10 our reply 10 the Rcpub-
can the editor will at once perceive that his
offence has justly provoked our remarks.

Tus TREATY

The Globe still as,ais The Treaty. Now me
Treaty. !, either good or bad one. we INNS
II a GOOD oue--tbe President THINKS n good
one-Ihe Senate thinks II good one' He's
then is the issue The Globe Is on one sue
against the Treaty the President and senate
the whole treaty making power-on lhe o'he',
and in its favor The Globe IS modest IN It's
ore,ensions--it only asks that lis opinions shan
have more weight with the country Than those
of The President and Senate II lis claims are
conceded TO be just, then u Is unfortunate LOT
the county that the treaty making power had
not been lodged in the hands oil the Eope
editor but we are satisti ID with the provision as
il exists IN The Constitution, and shall oppose
any amendment for the purpose OF transferring
this power TO Mr.. Bat least until Mr.. Clay and
his partisans succeed in modifying II TO suit their
wi hes. /, has doubtless never occurred 10 ihe
editor of the Globe that by denouncins 'he
Treaty, he was assailng large majority OF 'he
Democratic members of the Senate who voted
for its ratification. They said, by lheir votes
that the Treaty was good one and The Globe
condemns them by denourcing H. We sup
pose this is the way il exp els TO commend IL
self TO the confidence and favor of the Repub-
| lean party; but we assure the editor thai, with
all hi, astuleness, he is egregiously mistaken I;
that hi, labors, so far as they have any lhfu-
ence, tend only to bring discredit on himself and
10 produce heart burning, Jealousy, and dlssfn-
sion in the Democratic rauks. The Globe as
sumes TO be the organ Of the Democratic party ;
it has grown rich upon its bounty-it owes that
party large debt of gratitude. Why, then,
does il seek to disturb its harmony by the vlo-
ence and injustice of its course-by the rude
attacks upon members OF the party, who per
haps are not sufficiently plant 10 permit il, IN all
matters, to dictate their opinions? Weare pre-
paired TO yield much to preserve The harmony
and secure the triumph Of the Democratic par;
ty but we say to the Globe, that It's arrogant
and dicatorial spirit is everywhere dsapproved
and that if it sincerely desires TO advance the
cause in which it is prof,ssedIy engaged, ii viii
at once change lis course, and practice the com
ity and justice that are not less essential TO the
character Of a citizen than TO wise and sue
cesslul politician.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONvEN
TJON

In noticing the movement Of the democratic menu
bers of the New York Legislature, favorable to Mi
VAN BURfN, at the close of their late session in re-
ference to the time and mode of organizing the next
National Convention, we haZlrded the opinion that
they were acting IN opposition 10 the clearly CA-
pressed voice Of the democratic party of the Union
and that far at least related the time of hold.
ing the Convention, the question settled in favor
of May, 1874. Every subsequent development OF
public opinion has demonstrated that we were cor.
rect, and that nothing is left to our New York bre
,hren but to retrace their steps, if they do w
to inhict rreparable injury the and prospect,
of Mr.. VAN buren,.
The .Ntu York Erening Post which warmly sup.
ports the nomination OF MIR Van Buren, after stain,
the grounds on which November next is preferred 10
a more remote period for holding the Democrat
National Convention, concludes by expressing a fear
that the friends Of November will be obliged 10 con.
sent to hold the Convention in May, and adds that
"a considerable number Of States have ALREADY de-
clared themselves in favor Of that time, and q n,y
persist there riH be aiernaiire.m
In regard to the other question, (says the Eyenu.

From the Philadelphia Mercury.
HON. JOHN C.. SPENCER.

We cannot resist the temptation 10 publish the fol-
loving anecdote gentleman wholly disconnected
from parties stopped in the street few days ago,
and remarked, that he glad TO find there was
one paper in Philadelphia which had the ability and
was independent enough of insurance companies and
I. merchant princes" to do this eminent statesman
Justice. :" SIR he remarked, g consider John G..
Spencer one OF the abest that this country has
produced, and doubt whether the Treasury ever
had at its head person admirably adapted,
physically and mentally, to the performance OF its
varied and arduous duties. Before he leaves 1t he
will prove TO the natiLn, that il is the chief post IN
the Cabinet and demands the first talent in the land"
Our friend, whose name, had we permission TO give
il, would lend authority TO his opinions which no
one in this community would question, further re-
marked that his attention was first attracted to Mr.
Spencer by his annoatons 10 DE Tocqueville's De-
mocraoy in America, " that great work, said he
80 of the ninete onth century" He added that the
notes Of Mr.. Spencer are frequently more profound
than the text"
We not surprised at the opinion, though we
were at its source, and on that account deem II
worthy repeating.

The primary object Of this publication is TO re-
