THE GLOBE AND THE PRESIDENT.
We have observed with deep regret the bitter war
fare kept up by the Washington Globe for several
months past against President Tyler and all who ac
cept Office under his administration who in any way
have the least to do with him. The Globe is even
more bitter against the President than is The Wing
press OF the country and to hear it resoundng the
CRY raised by the Clay Wing press Of g traitor"
" Benedict Arnold" &c., a stranger would set the
Globe down as Clay paper Of the first water In
deed, it has lately taken to defending the Clay Whigs
against what it calls the ntrigues of the Webster
Wings, to supplant Mr. Clay as the next Federal
candidate for President, and declares that Mr. CLAW
has greater claims upon the confidence and support
OF the Democracy than John Tyler has Every De-
mocrat, no matter how pure and exalted his charac.
ter Tor virtue, nor how long and ardent has been his
deVotlon TO Democratic principles, who accepts Of
ice under Mr.. Tyler, is Immediately denounced as
renegade, seeking TO betray the Democracy into the
arms of Federalism.
Is there any just cause for such course on the
part of the Globe, any other democratic paper
Most clearly not. 1t is evident Mr.. Tyler is honestly
endeavoring to administer the government so as to
promote the best interests of the country and bis
course has been such as TO call down upon him any,
thing but abuse from the democratic party What
had we to expect from him "A wing administration
And what has it beeni With the exception Of few
measures, most of which have been repealed as pure
~ democratic as the administration of Gen. Jackson
or Mr.. Van Buren,. BY his vetoes on the pernicious
measures of the last whg Congress and the general
policy Of his administration MIR Tyler has done more
to advance the triumph of democratic principles than
any man in the Union. He removes federalsts and
appoints democrats to Office in almost every instance
and yet, for all this he is constantly and vehemeny
abused BY paper recognized as the national or gan
oil the democratic party. This is strange C nduct
but the secret motive of the Globe is obvious when
closely scanned, and should be marked and checked
by our party, IN time to prevent rupture which must
eDsue from IT, II persisted ina rupture that will
overwhelm us in defeat.
The only sin alleged by the Globe against Mr.. Ty.
Ter and those Democrats whom il abuses for accept
ing Office under him is that they are NOT in faroy of
NJ Yam Buren, for President. tn is "the head and
front OF their Offending" Mark you-it is not charg-
ed that they opposed TO Van Buren, but that they
are not in favor of him their first choice and for
tins they and long list of the Oldest and most re-
spectacle Democratic papers in the country that s,s-
tain them, are, in dictaoria tone absolutely dis
gushing read out Of the Democratic church by the
Globe, and branded traitors, seeking TO betray the
Democracy! And what is worthy of still closer OBJ
servance Is, that most Of the Democrats and Demo-
cratic papers, thus denounced by the Globe are in
favor of Mr.. Calhoun for President The Globe NAV
as well at once come out in open and uncomproms-
ing hostility 10 Mr. Calhoun, Colonel Johnson Gene
raj Cass aud every body else bat Dir Van Buren, and
make blind support of him the test Of every mans
Democracy.
We regret deeply TO see the Giob, mrsuing this
course. Upon the united action Of he ,rhoL demo-
cracy alone depends our success in the next Presden
t'ai contest But IS the course Of the Globe calcu-
lated TO produce this unity of action? Ii is vain for
that paper to attempt TO conceal the real design of
us warfare, by pretending 10 aim its blows at Mr.
lyier alone But the fear of the Globe is
that The Influence Of the administration and lis friends
VIII be gven-not to Mr., Clay, or any other teder.
alist-but 10 Mr.. Calhoun, or some other democrat
than Mr. Van Buren,, and probably prevent that gen.
teman from getting the nomination hence lis bitter
abuse.
THIS dctatorial course Of the Globe is intolerable
ana we can upon such oil the democratic press Of the
country as value their independence and the free
dom of opinion in regard TO The choice of a candi-
date for President to administer the proper rebuke
we are willing TO go for Mr.. Van Buren, or snv
other democrat who may be fairly nominated by the
baltimore Convention. But the people should decide
VINO shall be our candidate and not the editors of
the Globe, or any other political manager For one
we VIII never consent TO have any man crammed
down our Threats in advance who is not our first
choice, nor, as we believe, the choice Of majority
OF our party. And if the editors Of the Globe are
determined TO force Mr.. Van Buren, on the party as
their candidate, or create split in our ranks we saw
lei them come on with that ssue-the sooner the bet
terj and see to whose benefit the result will inurc
