LAST TURN OF THE MACHINERY.

When the Globe renewed its attacks ON ''Mr.
Tyler's Administrator" last week, il would APP
pear that all Of the Clique journals had been
commanded TO make similar demonstration.
They had all been privately written to and no
thed to issue batch Of lies against the retiring
Executive. The object is to endeavor 10 appear
consistent TO The world, aud TO show that they
have always been in the right when Mr.. Tyler
was asssiled by them.
But the journals now under the diciation OF
the Globe are few in number, and weak and
contemplate a. few. The Pennsylvania, New
York Morning News, and Albany Atlas, are,
we believe, the principal followers OF the Globe.
We observe they have made simultaneous
attack on Mr. Tyler, for what they are pleased
10 tem-and herein is the deliberate untruh--
his many recent appointments. They know that
more than hundred vacancies occurred, from
deaths and designations, during the recess OF
Congress they know that nearly all the APP
poinrmenls now before the Senate, were made
before il was known which party would elect
their President; and they know that since IL
has been sscer,nined that Mr.. Polk was the
VICTOR not half dozen removals have been
made, nay, not one, not specially urged by the
sincere friends Of MIR. Polk himself. Many a
member Of Congress viii feel indignant at this
outbreak Of the Globe and its hungry pack OF
office-huntog hounds aud appendedIbeiow we

purposes as Mr.. Ritche) devoted TO the attack
of The Richmond Enquirer.
We shall see that all these premonitory
symptoms are laid before the new President
The umor that William IL. Folks nomi-
nation has been Withdrawn, seems 10 be the
text from which most of these devils sermons
are preached. The Pennsylvania goes so lar
as TO say this appointment was, "unasked, un-
authorized, and undesired !" and the Globe Of
last evening hints that this Administration is
running into the next, thus forming a sort OF
corrupt partnership The Globe, if it should be
its pleasure to war against President Polk, will
no doub, commence with the fruitful theme of
1t will allege that Polk men
were appointed by Mr.. Tyler, and Tyler men
are retained by Mr. Polk. II will resort TO eve
~ plan to make the administration of Mr. Polk
subservient to its designs in 1s4s. If the new
President shall remain neutral, they will call him
a Tyler man; if he should not remain neutral,
they calculate upon his inability to keep out Of
their clutchesl
To the Editor Of the JAadisonian
Sra: would thank you, in the name of the public,
to explain if you can, the which have prompt
and to outrage the feelings Of Col. w. II. Polk, as
we'll those OF the President elect, on account of
the nomination to Naples The zeal it displays, and
the suddenness Of its assault, have excited inquiries
q will not say suspicious in various quarters The
great adherence the editor seems to entertain Of

If 1t could obtain general confidence. For myself,
am glad to that Mr.. Richie has venlured to ex-
press himself boldly on this point, however | may
differ with him in the particular he has chosen 10
bring up to the bar of public opinion. think there
are some cases home which would have pre-
scented far better occasion for this display of new
bork zeal in behalf of the virtue of di,n.eresed-
ness"
But, sir, there is something more than meet, the
eye in these gratutous and ungeneel lectures of the
editor. He discovers that this nomination of gen.

meni al Washington )" and this, no says provoked
his remarks" The git of the matter lies here then
and would desire TO know what is meant by this omi.
nous word, mopemeni?" have never heard that
any thing was designed by the President than simply
to give an expression of his respect for and conf
dence in, Mr. Polk. 1t was but an ordinary act on
tho part Of the Executive and the gentleman nomi-
mated was in every respect worthy of the distinction
But there is a guilty jealousy whose unquiet suspl-
cions serve only to betray itself. The editor may
affect holy horror at every act Of the admins,ra-
'ion which may be calculated to CRAFTY MIR. Polk,
merely because such act may, IN its effects, re-
dound TO the benefit OF its friends. The shoe pinches
at this point If the administration would seek to
please certain Tariff and anti Tsras Democrat in
New York, 1t is probable that this holy horror of the
editor would be nbated somewhat. This" rop..
r'ent" is henous and sinful, because by Alternating
to please Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Polk might, in turn. b.

But there are o0ice-sesk,rs," and spoiis of Office

seen and heard much Of each. The newspaper, tell
of intrgues, and threats even, if Mr. Polk do not
obey the behests of certain writer of long messages
and his Tariff and anti-T clique The ncwspa-
