II, that. ITO relseAs General Jaoheos,n he resign
ed Being driven from the place by the force
of hostile, distrus,ful, popular INSTINCT" ac-
cording TO the Globes own admission of the fact,
it is compared to the resignation which Mr.. JEFF
ferson made and set down TO the account Of his
"magic of honest patriotism % Was any at
tempt to bolster up the fallen fortunes of fallen,
condemned politician, ever more ludicrous!
Ifadmitted facts-if historical facts-were ever
all one way, and the conclusions adopted were
ever all directly the other way, then have we a
case of the kind undeniably exhibited in this
article of the Globe
One ought not to wonder, perhaps, at diem
ma so awakened, when it is recollected that it is
the first attempt ever made by any friend or foe
OF MIR. Van Buren,, to ascrbe to him the magic
Of honest patriotism" and to deduce from that
magic, the merit Of never having sought public
office!
But most unfortunately for the Globes effort
to show Mr.. Van Buren's patriotic Indifference
to the office of President, and that he does moi
desire it, the Richmond Enquirer, of only few
days since, upon the authority of letter received
direct from Mr.. Van Buren, himself, as it says,
ridicules the idea of his surrenderng single
chance that he has of obtaining the Presidency !!
In order not to misrepresent him in this particular
we will repnblish just what the Enquirer says !:
From the Richmond Enquirer.l
We have seen letter from Mr.. Van Buren,
himself, in the course of which he refers to the
untounded report THAT he was about to decline
the contest for the Presidency referred to in the
preceding article. He presumes that his friends
are too much accustomed 10 rumor and misrep-
reservations to attach the slightest importance TO
such an idle report.
The article Of the Globe is indeed rich in its
material for proper elucidation of its cand
dates political claims upon the people, as well
as those of Mr.. Clay, whom it bitterly assails
Our article to-day has extended too far to admit
OF all we are called upon to advance in respec,
TO it; but we will resume it hereafter, and invite
to it the further scrutiny Of an intelligent public
who know very well how to appreciate the spu-
rious, from the genuine, "magic Of honest pa
triotisn.''
