Since Mr.. Tyler, with the view of Democrat
zing his Administration, appointed the gentleman
Of the pcStlc and mortar from Massachusetts To
preside over the Navy Department, and invested
him with full powers To bestow the patronage of
the Federal Government in the New England
States, as to him might seem proper n great con-
tcntion has arisen in the Democratic party of that
section of the country. Those who seek public
employment arc exceedingly protiisc of compliment
TO the Naval Sccretary-crying him up, not only
as the pures Democrat in the land. but the ablest
iunctonary who has welded the trident of Ncp-
tune in modern days. On the other hand. those
who do not covet offices, or despair OF getting them
equally liberal in compliments of a very diff
iercnt character. They represent the Hon. Sc
crctary as n rencgadc-who sold himself to Tyler
for office, and is now dispensing patronage from
the bascst motives, and for the most corrupting
purposes The Globe, with characteristic chivarv
rushed into the midst of this fray and surpassed
all competitors in the violence and bitterness of lis
invectivcs against the Representative of Nlassa-
chusetts Democracy in the Tyler Administration
Mr.. Henshaw, in late letter Of thanks to some of
his Democratic constituents, has INDUCED in Il re-
tort upon the Globc-whch is not without point.
He says:

myself The support OF the Democracy my own State
Of men with whom; have been long associated vino
have always found and who always will find me supporting
Democratic principes-s gratifying and cheering amidst
the assaults upon from who but yesterday in
the opposite political ranks, and who have become insocnt
as they have grown rich upon Democratic bounty"
But the prettiest part of the fight is coming off
in Massachusetts. There, it is required in consi
dcraton of the Offices bestowed, that meetings of
the Democracy shall be held, who shall gorify
John Tyler and his Secretary Numbers of these
have come off recently; but as those not bought
up, have not the same inducements to audation
and rejoicing which those have who are in receipt
Of the Government bounty the resolutions in
praise Of Tyler and his Aid, are received in very
different temper, by the two wings of the Dcmocra.
