TO WHAT PARTY DOES 1T BELONG'
We wish to ask the question, with all proper re-
spect, TO what political party does the Washington
| Globe beongi We are not in a captous mood--we
ask the question in all candor and fairness, and we
| desire an answer. We narrow down the query--s
| tho Washington Globe to be longer considered a
| Democratic paperl Let us see
We speak not Of the acknowledged treachery of
the editor in aiding to consammate the Infamous Goa
lition between Adams and Clay, by which General
Jackson was cheated out Of his election pass
over well nigh innumerablc sins of omission and com
mission and come down to the latest period Of its
political history.
President Tyler, with magnanimity and frmness
rarely esuaed in this temporsing and time serving
age, openly declared to the country and the world
that he was determined 10 administer the Govern
ment upon Jeffersonan Republican principles. No
sooner does he take the preparatory steps TO accom-
plish this great purpose by calling to his Cabinet
Council men whose Democracy was well known and
long tried, than the Washington Globe commences
series of the most malignant and vituperative art
cles, which it continues with incorporating bitter
ness. The President is termed traitor ; those sound
and unAnching Republicans who have accepted Office
under him, very modesy designated renegades,
by this INSCRIPTIONS and defamatory Journal
We have long looked upon the Washington Globe
| as ponderous incubus upon the Democratic party;
we believe contributed in no small degree to the
defeat of the election Of Presidential candidate
| in l840 We have long been convinced that it was
governed by other principle than such as con-
ducing to its interest that II could in no case rise
above the sordid motive of profit and loss. When,
months ago, it was gently euogizng Mr.. Calhoun,
and rubbing down the State Rights Republicans with
soft sowder," we told them there treachery be-
meath all this seemiDg-that the adders sting would
be felt in some unguarded hour prophecy is now
matter of history
Is the Globe Democratic paper' If it were, it
would frankly, openly warmly, support the Admins
tration of President 1yler-particuiarly as men are
nothing and measures every thing. The Cabinet Of
MIR. Tyler is Republican-hs measures in full
accordance with the principles Of the Democratic
party how then can paper oppose the present Ad-
ministraton, abuse the President as if he were the
basest Of mankind and yet claim to be Democratic
iournal' II cannot be.
II has lately taken upon itself airs of the most dis
gushing character. 1t has assumed the tone of AFRO
giant dictaton and excommunicates without trial. all
who will not blndIy follow its insolent bidding A
few craven-spirited individuals have been mean
enough 10 crouch under its yoke with all the cring-
ing sycophancy of spaniels nature; a pery Jep Of
this character have endeavorcd to puff the Democra-
cy Of the Globe into public confdence-but il is la
Dor lost. The People have placed their brand of
probation upon /. and there the VIII
| main. Hundreds protesting against its nsolent
domination, as do we; hundreds more will initiate
| the patriotic example.
From the .Ne,rburgh on W Highiand Courier
The Washington Globe is maniiesting spirit of
prescription and dictation entirely at variance with
the true democratic principle Of equal rights and
privileges. This spirit first manifested 10 de-
nouncing the President although his acts at the time
were in strict accordance with the principles avowed
BY the whole democratic party, and now the Globe
Is busily engaged IN not only attempting TO shut the
door Of the National Convention against the admit
lance Of Mr. Tyler, as candidate for the Presiden-
! cy, but In accommodating from the democratic
| fold bis whole Cabinet, and every man who holds
! Office under him. Mr.. Blair has an undoubted right
to support Mr.. Van Buren, with his whole strenp III,
but he has right to seek the exclusion of other de
moor ,tc candidates and if he will allow of no de-
mocracy but such acknowledges him as priest and
Mr.. Van Buren, as the only candidate for the Presi-
dency, then let him raise his own standard and form
his own party at once for he may rest assured that
|
may be to his favoiite will never permit dictaton
from the Globe, or any other paper. The friends of
| Calhoun, Cass, Tyler, Johnson and Buchanan, will
have equal rights the floor Of the convention
Each Of these candidates avow republican doctrines
each have friends in different sections of the country
and all have distinctly prom ed that sectional pre-
ference should not disturb the party peace but that
they would cheerfully abide the decision of the Ma
tioDal Convention. This is the true democratic
course. But the opposition Of the Globe to the pre-
sent administration is evidently actuatcd by selfish
ness, and not by desire promote the interests of
the party IT processes to support; and large mum
Der Of the leading democratic papers in the country
dcprecate its course.
From the Petersburg Va Republican,
The press seems to be div ided two gre classes
the dependent and independent The first are under
the control of some leading papers, which they have
established their guide, and TO whose beck they
| look with the obsequiousness Of an eastern slave
We have become pretty well acquainted by this time
both with masters and men, and il is with great plea
sure that we observe in the Virginia press less Of
this spirit Of servility than have been PANIED to
behold elsewhere. Even IL, however, is not entirely
Free and we have with deep regret an article in
one OF our Virginia exchanges, which for its adula-
ton of the Globe, and complete want of sefrespect
may compete with the Albany Atlas or others Of that
slaysh pack. We shall not quote from the article,
nor even name the paper. Those whom we wish to
reouke will understand we assure the editor
that the former course of his paper has been the
| subject OF our warm admiration, and it is indeed
with deep modification that we have seen him pass
under the yoke and seem to glory in his chains
| From the Massachusetts Independent Democrat
| 1t is evident that combination exists between
| portion Of the friends Of Mr.. Van Brren and the
| Clay Wings to nure Mr.. Tyler and render his adj
ministra,on unpopular. Hence we see copied into
| the Clay papers articles from the Bay State Demo-
crat and the Washington Globe written in spirit of
