The Washington Globe stands almost alone in the
which It pursues towards the present admins
tration. When IT strongly recommended President
Tyler aud acknowledged the importance Of the ser
vices he had rendered the democratic party, its sen
tments we're echoed by hest Of democratic papers
throughout the country but the moment It changed
il, course aud began to abuse him, the papers
ceased 10 copy from IT, columns, express senti-
mcuts, IN UNISON with It's views, and refused to
surrender their character fairness and consistency
at the dictatou Of the Globe This fact shows the
ndefenble character Of the Globes course and the
construction placed upon 10y the organs Of the co.
pies party.
II has been well observed that for some months the
Globe has been almost entirely devoted TO war with
an administration sustaining the acknowledged prin-
cipes aud measures Of dem crazy while it has per
united the party opposing those doctrines and mea-
to 60 IN their Vaccinations unsclthed. Thus
II has indirectly afforded that party aid.
Many OF the democratic papers have not been con-
tent with tact condemnation Of the Globe, but
have expressed their disapprobstou Of It's course ia
plain and decided terms.

CONSISTENCY OF THE GLOBE, sc,


Some very nice democratic papers-whose nerves
are exceedingly decate-aLpear to be shocked TO
think that MIR. Henshaw should say that MIR. Tyler
was brough, up at the foot of Monticello. Does any
one deny this But the Globe has gone far, far be-
You'd anything Mr.. Henshaw has said in appreciation
of the Presidents conduct, although the consistent
and virtuous Mr.. Blair rolls up his eyes in holy
horror at Mr.. Henshaws qualified expressions. We
copy the following remarks of Mr.. Blair, which APP
pear under date OF l0th September, lS4l The
Globe then declared that Mr. Tyler had " Proued
himself TRUE TO his PRINCIPLES and HONEST 10 the
PEOPLE, Federalism prociams him unworthy its
support: in this he receives the highest encomium II
could bestow.
"Let il be marked in the calendar that on Ibis day
(friday) federalism opened with its anathemas on Mr..
Tyler, aud has made ii the MOST GLORIOUS
EPOCH of his life"
Let it be remembered that this same Globe now
attempts TO impeach the political integrity Of Mr..
Henshaw for simply saying tina, the President was
brought up at the foot OF Monticello, and recommend
ing the support OF such measures Of his admnstra-
ton as may be found to be democratic
So fierce was the Bay State Democrat another
paper that is alarmed at Mr. Henshaws Monticello
remark i'm defence Of MIR. Tyler, that il not on
defended Mr. T., but attacked J. q Adams in the
following manner for his abuse of Mr. Tyler in his
report upon the last veto:
The report has all that rancor and bitterness OF
tone towards MIR. Tyler which Mas anticipated, and
as, IN this respect, 1t up 10 federal expecta
tons, will doubtless be applaudeG by tta party
most noble, patriotic, and convincing document
The President Is insuted, vilifed, and msrepresent
ed, without stint measures and when we consider
the position of MIR. Tyler, which prevents him from
descending into the kennel to meet his assaants II
must be confessed that the assault upon him is a,
cowardly act in itself, it is disgracefIl to III,
Office which MIR Adams occupied, and the Stat,
which be represents.

" HOW SHALL WE PREVENT DIVISIONS IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY"

The Globe has an article under this bead, consist
ing OF about column the amount of which IS 10 eN
cude and read out Of the democratic party, not onp
Mr., Tyler and his Cabinet, but all who accept oihce
under him, and all who favor or defend sueh as ae'
cepl Office under him. viz: the Boston Post ihe iaise
" Amerie Of Portland, and OF Philadelphia, ana
all that genus of Journals, or politicians" meaning

he democratic candidates for The FAVOR oil democracy
al the national convention, among whom, oil couIs',
must be Mr. Kendall who has repeatedly declared hls
willingness to admit Mr.. Tylers claims among the de-
mooratc competitors for the Presidency and IN ne II
must mean all those papers and politicians who have
spoken iaroraDly of the appointment OF Messrs. Hen
shaw, Nelson, Rantoul, &c.
This is the amount OF the Globes plan " To pre-
vent divisions in the party!n For il expressly de-
cares tat either MIR Tyler, such presses as The
Boston Post, the false " American" OF Portland, ana
Of Philadelphia any Of that genus oil Journals OF
politicians, whose principles according TO their
interests, allowed or should be allowedJ 10 speak

Is there print in the United States so deeply inle-
rested in the approaching Congress, and the coming
Presidential canvass, as the GLOBE? Aud are It's prin-
cpes according TO lis interests, are they IN con-
rLcT tcih lis interests OF this those can best Judge
who best know Mr.. Blair
This plan Of throwing overheard all who come IN
its way its path the Globe processes TO de-
rive from Mr. Clay. II says, from the moment he

committed 10 his direction, he endeavored to throw
| off MIR. Tyler, sc. So, . the moment" the Globe
discovered The government as not to be commit
ted TO is direction" 10 cut and carve for the next
our years, il not only attempts to "throw oil Mr..
Tyler" but every press and politician that dares to
give him civil word. This, one would think, was
queer way of "pereniing divisions IN the dem"-
cratic party" II would more naturally be supposed to
weaken aud rend il asunder and lessen the numbers
This would seem 10 be the apprehension OF every
honest politician in It's ranks; but very possibly Mr.
Blair calculates on enough SUI port from Mr. Clay to
offset 10 this so far to answer his own purposes
We shall see.

DENUNCIATlONs OF THE WASHINGTON
GLOBE

The course pursued by this organ for the past few
months, towards Mr.. kESpALL aud other distinguish
ed coaborers Of the great Republican party, feel
satisfied - not and cannot be approved by the de-
mocracy Of the country. We verify believe that the
present course of the Globe, (f persisted in) will
tend TO weaken the cause and the great principles
for which we are contending. Forgetting its duty TO
the party the rhoe pniy-it does not wait to give
expression OF the popular viii, and then, as il
should do, bring all IL force to give effect 10 that
expression but having welded itself with the friends
Of one Of the aspirauts TO the Presidency, It attempt,
TO dct,te 10 the friends Of the other candidates not
only the they must pursue, but the very terms
on which they will be permitted TO remain ia the de-
mocratc party. Such diotatoral conduct is abuse
Of the confidence Of the democracy Of the country,
and deserves the condemnation of the entire party.
