dime lhey declined the Offering. Il was an honor
a, the hands Of his political friends To- be run
once; /, was double honor TO be Iun ,wic,, II
was a upie houor TO be run thrice. Aud with
dis heapof Democratic honors upon him, does he
call for Democratic sympathy? Where are his
wounds What sacrifices hashe made There
was sympathy for Jackson when he took the re-
sponsblly Of exercising the CONSTITUTIONAL
VETo-there was sympathy for Tyler when he
did the same, and when he was prosecuted by
the Bank myrmidons on both sides OF The wide
Atlantic; but when was there sympathy for Mr..
Van Buren, Instead OF having claim 10
Democratic sympathy. Mr.. Van Buren, owes
them debt of everlasting gratitude for the no
nors they have heaped upon him.
In closing these remarks, already too copious,
we have word to say to our political friends
concerning the contemplated Town, County,
State and National Conventions Of untrammell-
ed Republicans. Let Us remember that we are
Republicans of The ancient school, and have no
part or lot with those who (ke Mr.. Webster,
with regard to Texas, and Mr. Blair with regard
10 the parly,) affect to believe that it is ani-Re-
publican to admit neW associates. We 60 Tor
making the true Republican party as large as we
can; for extending its "area" by admitting all
citizens who knock al The Republican gates. We
hold that all American citizens have right TO
he Republicans if they choose, and we believe
they have right to join and act with the Dem
ocratc party, notwithstanding the ''bulls" OF
Pope Blair. This is our doctrine about party,
aud we believe all will admit il TO be a sen'ibie
and reasonable doctrine at least.

THE APPOINTMENT OF MIR. KING.

We observe that the leading organs of Mr.. Van
Buren, are copying the Globes contemp,uous
remarks in relation TO the appointment Of Mr.
King as Minister to France. OF course we
have no positive authority from MIR. King to say
that those remarks were not approved by him
nevertheless we are very certain that they gave
him great pain, and thar his friends were indig-
nant at the impudence and maligni'y of the
editor.
AS gentleman, and man of honor, Mr..
King could neither accept nor retain office and
at the same time sanction an attempt to huml3
ate and degrade the Executive that bestowed ii,
and because he bestowed it,
II there was any thing indicate or humilia-
ting in the manner of rendering the appoint
ment, animadversion would naturally have fol-
lowed refusal, rather than an acceptance.

TO JOHN TYLER.
Well done, old boy Hurrah, Jack Tyler!
That message crowns your name with glory
II makes, IN Ireland, many a smile,
1t frighls in England many a Tory.
You say you'll take a loan of Texas;
by all means dove wish you luck
Such iskings, Jack, will never vex us,
And so get on ahead my buck.
You have liking, we believe,
For the Oregon Territory;
The O'Regans here all give you leave
To take ton your soul To glory
And all our other Os and Macs
Approve OF your intentions highly,
And hope you never will relax
In doing what you said so drily.
Send out your ,quattcrs, FAR and near.
And tell them not 10 stop at trhes
But when they 90 their way TO clear
BE sure they don't fsrget their rifles.
You got the State Of Maine before,
Which was main point to amuse you
Then only ash, and you'll get more
Some don't like II TO refuse you.
You have some Irish boys there yonder
Dwelling beside the Atlantic sea
They'll hep you, Jack, aud that's no wonder,
For they have homes among the free
Go sympathizins, fraternizing--
And II some fool says you shall not
Just prove 10 him your choer's rising,
And knock his brains out 90 the spot
Go II, aud no mistake, good John
We have no doubt you're true as steel
Don't care a curse for Wellington
No-nor a single d--n for Peel
