''MONSTRUM NULLA VIRTUE RE

"MONS IkUM NUlILh VIM u Il NE

Why is it that Col. Benons organ is now
teeming with fresh assaults on Mr.. Tyler, and
particularly on "Mr. Tyer's organ2" Mr..
Tyler is about to retire TO private life, and We
consider il monstrous in Mr. Blair thus wantonly
to interpose to debar him of that peaceful en-
joyment for the rest of his days. TO which his
surprising achievements and integrity as the
Chief Magistrate Of the nation so justly entitle
him. In two months--two lule months-Mr.
Tyler will retire from the scene Of political
strife--will turn his back on all its annoyances
and prof gacies-with the proud consciousness
of having not only escaped its concentrations,
but of having annihilated a potent engine
of corruption by his vetoes, besides securing
the welfare and happiness OF the country by ad
herring faithfully to the principles of his illustri-
Gus Republican predecessors. OF course it is
altogether farcical and ridiculous to suppose
that Mr.. Tyler, or "Mr. Tyler's organ" can be
panied by the harsh and discordant notes of Mr..
Benton's dictalorial organ The poioer to die
tate terminated with the downfall Of that intole-
rant clique in May last, but it is too evident that

The brief assault on Mr.. Tyler in Saturdays
Globe, was copied in yesterdays Madisonian.
The assault on Mr.. Tyler and "Mr. Tyler's or.
GAM in last nights Globe, is quite too long for
us to copy The occasion for these assaults
seems TO he afforded by the passage in The
House of Representatives, of Mr.. Dromgoole's
Independent Treasury bill. OF the merits of
this bill we have moi deemed it necessary to say
anything, nor did the Globe, previous to its pas
sage. We deemed it unnecessary, because the
subject had not been much agilated during the
recent Presidential contest; because few, If any
of the Democratic journals in the Union, have
discussed il since the glorious termination of
that contest; because another subject (AnneIa-
uon) seemed TO engross the public attention
both before and since the election, (Mr. Drom-
goole, however, had taken ground with Mr..
Van Buren, against the measure) and obviously
demanded the earliest attention Of Congress, mas
much as its contamination depended on prompt
action and, finally, because we thought il deco
rous and just-knowing, as Mr.. Dromgooe and
the Globe must have known, that for the House
to pass financial measure, however Just in IL
self, which must inevitably be lost in the Sc
nate, was mere political mockery-to await
the views Of the new President, which will be
frankly and honestly given in his Inaugural Ad-
dress, and in his first annual Message. If There
had been any prospect of its passing the Senate,
and thus admitting the expectation that IL would
become law, we can assure the Globe that
we would not have been behind it in putting
our hand to the work. 1t is scarcely contended
by any one that the measure is unconstitutional;
and If II has been, and should be, fatal STUN
bling block to Presidential asprsnts, neither
Col Polk, Mr.. Tyler, nor "Mr. Tyler's organ"
unlike the aspiring chques and their organs,
could possibly harbor any mere selfish apprehen-
sions. Col. Folks ambition is satisfied with the
term for which he has already beer elected !;
Mr.. Tyler is upon the close Of his public career,
and is content with what he has been enabled
TO accomplish for the country and for "Mr.
Tyler's organ" we can say that IL is not the
organ or the advocate of any Presidential aspi.
rant, nor will It ever be until the party has
spoken--but will content itself with supporting.
to. the best Of its ability, the Republican Ad-
ministration of Mr.. Polk az il has done that of
Mr.. Tyler. No indvcement no menace, the
Globe may rest assured can drive us from this
position, can change this determination. And
such will undoubtedly be the course Of all the
friends Of the Administration, who, upon the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Tyler from the canvass, so
zeaously espoused the cause Of the now Presi-
dent elect.
The Globe-now the defunct organ and ex-
dicta,or-may rave at us TIL doomsday 1t
may continue to quote the ISLANDERS and abuse
of Mr.. John Van Buren's print at Albsny-we
shall not be diverted from our purpose. We
shall keep aloof from all inlrigues, all cques,
all sinister combinations. The Madisonian
will continue to ''labor in its VOCATION solely
