TIE present aooisenal incumbent q De
Presidential chair has sunk 80 lOS inthe sdi-
nation Of al parties and Of every man q hon
ogable sentiments, that f,r some time past We
have scarcely deemed il worth the trouble to
devote any portion Of our editorial attention to
an individual however exalted BY oisoe, whose
insigni6oanoe is 50 striking that we have eea-
sod to feel any sterner emotion than eontemPt
foF bic fesblencss. His proh,gaey IN attempt
ing to buy up the Democratic party BY the IN
huenee Of his patronage Of Office, IS in perfect
accordance with bis apostaey 10 tho Wigs
they both exhibit bis character IL such light
that we scarcely know which is the most re-
markable, the baseness Of bis motives OF the
weakness Of his understanding. Poor deluded
mani The accident which placed him in Office,
and which he doubtless hailed as the most for.
tunaie event Of hrs life, has given him noioriely
but to Immorialze hs inhmy. History, on
whose pages bis name would not have fourd
place, will now perPeluate il in connection
with his Perfdy and Jolly.
The following just remarks upon bis perfd.
lots and prodgate course, are from the GLOBE,
the leading organ Of that party, which he vain
y hoped to seduoe to bis support.
