IHE EACLUSltE GLOBE
The g Washngtonian Spectator" a newspaper of
much talent, established at the seat OF Government
has administered q sound but temperate rebuke to
the Globe, for the lStters captious exclusive and
jealous spirit The Globe thinks the discussion of
the Presidential question should always prcsuppose
the choice Of one mainland that individual person
against whom, substantial or doubtful ground,
much hostility exists among The Democratic party.
The fact that one has been President of the United
States does not of necessity constitute sufficient cause
for his reelection, and doubt the Jealous uncom-
promising, unreasonable temper, that admits of the
claims OF no other individual, however distinguished
The Spectator says truly that from present appear
ances, Mr. Tyler will have, with other candidates,
many arm supporters in The National Demo ratio
COnycntion-that these men will hold their seats BY
doubted right 10 a free expression of opinion-and
why, may we not ask, why should not MIR. Tyler
have ardent and numerous friends in that Con-
sention any other candidate
Has he not done much, and more for the Dem
ocratic party, and for the establishment, of Demo
cratic principles as others' Does he not call Demo-
cratic advisers around him. and advocate the perfec-
ton OF Democratic measures
The party, for its misfortune, and perhaps its err
rors fell with MIR. Van Buren,. 1t fell after a severe
struggle, and vi every position well contested l,
was more powerful and better iplined at the time
Of lis fall, than bcforc-uore harmonious, than
Dow-with all the patronage Of the government with
all the moral influence Of the and station of the
Executive, in the confidence Of its power and with
the exhibition Of lis whole energies it FELL and with
q lsmentabIc defeat
is hcresy, then, 10 advocate the claims of Others
not less prominent, and more available members Of
the Democratic partyf Why may not journal
equally with the Globe oagan Of the party discuss
the merits, allude 10 the position or recount the
services Of any other distinguished Democrat wi h.
out provoking the ire Of that redoubtabIe paper
There are other good men, and true, in the Demo
cratic ranks, besides MIR. Van Buren-and distn-
glished may be the abilities of that gentleman the
fact that he has been run twice for President and
once most ingloriousy defeated affords no reason 10
make him the exclusive the most convenient cam
| ddaie for that high Office.
| We say nothing against Mr.. Van Buren,; no one
is willing and ready than ourselve. TO do Justice
to his character and the good he has done the party
But his character, even In its highest virtues not
inimitable, the good he has done Democracy may
have been returned HIM by the good democracy has
done him. Personally, Mr.. Van Buren, has no claims
the gratitude Of his party; they have been dui-
dated most generously. Politca w. his claims tower
not so much above those Of others, to render him
/ the exclusive candidate for promotion.

criticised and denounced. 1t tends to the inevitable
