From the Giube. ’
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE t'sITED
STATES.
hive laid before you the debaf e in the
Senate ot the L nited States, on the d;t mission
ot us as Priuteis to that body. It ia not our
aim now, in recurring’ to it, to thrust our pri
vate idfairs on the public notice, to obtain per
sonal notoriety, or seek ends merely selfish in
an appeal to the generous symfiaties of our
Democratic brethren. The speeches of Messrs
Clay us Alabama, Buchanan, King; Caihourn
r: gh\ Walker, Sev.er, Allen, Woodbury,
Benton, Smith of Conn.—ail eminent as states
men, jurists, and patriots, and for private vir
tues which add lustrue to their public stations
—show that great public considerations enter
into the late Senatorial proscription. ‘No one
saw clearer than Mr. Clay, the magnitude of
questions involved in this debate, or their bear
ing upon the great measure contemplated by
himself and his political adherenrs. ft did not
require the eloquent arguments of Messrs.
Buchanan, Calhoun, King, and Walker, to
point this out. Mr. Ciav knew that in annul
ling the Printers’ contract, made in virtue of a
law, with a party designated by an election,
and concluded by the execution of a bond on
the one side, and its acceptance by the Senate
or. the otlter, was asser*ing a principle which
would go beyond the repeal of a Bank charter.
The charter of a Bank, in violation of tiie Con
stitution and a derogation of the political rights
of the people and States, when insisted on as
a contract to maintain the vested rights of
stockholders, is to make the paramount co--
tract on which Government is founded in be
half of the community, yield to the form of a
contract, illegally conterring advantages on a
few. To hold such acts, passed by the Legis
lature, to be irrepealable t>v fut ure legislation,
would enable one legislative body to contract!
away the rights of ail subsequent ones and!
those of the community. To cancel a contract*
for printing (which it is admitted on all hands!
the Senate is competent to make) without al
pretence of any failure on the part of the indi-l
viduals bound to furnish the materials at a£
certain rate for a certain time; and when no!
paramount right whatever in the community isl
countervailed by such contract, every man!
must see is going far beyond the principle as-S
serted in maintaining the doctrine that chartersi
of unconstitutional origin, and granting pohti-E
cal power invading that of the whole coininu-S
nity, are repeaiable.
Why, then, has .Mr. Clay ventured to do an’
act winch, in the opinion of .all eminent men I
whose views we have published, recognizes
the power of either branch of Congress to an-j
nul obligations into which it may have entered,
although sautioned by express law, and con
tinue Iby uninterrupted precede..t- for twenty
two years ! Why has lie thus set an exam
ple which will justify the repeal of the leading
measure which he now proposes and wili etil
deavor to fasteli forever on the country, by the!
contract implied in the unconstitutional char
ter! He had risked the violation of all prin
ciple—and incurred the odium of a proceeding
in all its aspects tyrannical, to put down the
Democratic press at Washington— consider
ing it an obstacle to his measures in their pro
gress, and to their full consummation in that
of his own ambitious aspirings.
.Mr. Clay rests this high-handed stretch of
power exclusively on the ground of the infamy
of the character of one ot the partners to the
contract fi>r the printing, lie said : •* On the
ground of /he notorious bud character of the
print arul Printer- ; he should invoke the Senate
to displace them, and give them no longer the
s ind ion of an official character- .” And turning
to the Democratic Senators, who had unani
mously voted for ms he said, “If the gentlemen
thought they could excite the sympathies of
the country for -such a being as Francis P.
Bla r, let them go with him to the people, and
proclaim the injustice they had done him. All
he would wish w a •- that they (Mr. Clay anil
his political friends.) might *ot be associated
woh him. If there was no ether groond for
this dismissal ho (Mr. Clay.) would go on the
ground of the infamy es print and the Printer.’ -
An I ill s was ail the answer that was given to
the demand tor the causes on which he insist
ed a bond should be forfeited, a law abolished,
and the act of ans jority of the Senate under
it set aside.
On this Mr. Walker instantly ‘“called for
sprciJicaliiMS and for proofs; and appealed to
them not to cpndrm i unheard .” Recurring to
Mr. C lav’s charge, he exclaimed: “Infamy of
character.’ he denied m and again called tor
prre's. He challenged proof of tiiat character.!
If he was to be turned out, let him be beard.!
Give h m the privilege of an American citizen!
—let him be confronted with ins accusers.’']
The Federal party did not dare to make the]
allegations, or institute the inquiry demanded]
bv Mr. Walker. They dared not admit wit
nesses to be called as to the character of the
accused, even before a committee of their own
partisans, Mr. Clay knew that his la‘e col
league, Mr. Crittenden, (who had been the
school-fellow of the accused in early boyhood-,
and had been his next door neighbor until he
left Kentucky,) would, when ended on oa.h,
falsify his assertion. He knew that hs p e
sent col eague, Mr. Mors head, would .me y if.
1 Ie knew that Col. Todd, President II xrrisou’s
especial friend, now the inmate of his family.
and soon to represent his country a? a fore gn
courr Col. Croghan. the true chevalier
of Tippecanoe* Fort Meigs, and Sandusky—
were both the schoolmates of the assailed, had
known him intimately from youth to age, and
would have botne testimony to the falsehood
of Mr. Clav's statement Mr. Clay knew, too,
that, there “were a multitude of individuals in
Washington who were well acquainted with
both theaccuser and the accused from early
life to the present time; and that, before a
tribunal admitting proof of general character,
the man who stood up in the Senate, bearing
privile ret] testimony as to the “bad charact r”
of its Printer, would have had his own private
life proven to be “notoriously bad,” while that
a“acked by him would be exonerated tram the
vile char-re, which was made where he sup-5
nwed himself secure from contradiction— \
H-mcc the unprecedented course of refusingaj
committee to investigate that character on
which was grounded the action of the Senate,
was i lvoked to take. No member, officer, or £
employee of Congress, or State Legislature,
was ever dismissed before on an miamous
charge, or any charge, wifhmt an inquiry or
h^arm r before the body or a committee. By
the bold step of making an undefined charge
in the grossest terms, comprehending every
species’ of offence that could entail disgrace
_hv excluding the party implicated from
all access, e.ther for proof or reply, to the tri
bunal before which he was impeached—by
audiciouslv fulminating his own a--er ion as
accus tion and evidence, and with the vehe
ment tone anil manner intimating menace to
a’l contradiction trout the Senators by whom
he was sunrounded, Mr. Clay supposed be at
once secured absolute acquiescence in the ver
d'et to which party arrangements, m caucus,
had previously pledged the Federal majority.
But Mr. Clay”was disappointed in the result of
his overbearing denunciation ■ his vindictive
use of a commanding majority, and his threa.-
eiiing defiance to the minority. The attempt
to destroy character by a sort of proclamation
of infamy in the Senate, for which the body
was to be made sponsors by yielding a scent
assent, was met at the threshold by the decisive
contrad.ctioa of Mr. W ajker.
Mr. Smith, of Connecticut, next repulsed
the accusation, as reflecting on the D ‘mocratio
Senators who hail voted for the Printer, “he
under: <nii to say that it ?rw a false ami rile
accusaion and aided, * hit he believed Mr.
Blair u as pure and virtu as any in the com
munity, and hr shov ’d not ire had his vote if it
had been oihenci -V _ j
Mr. Calhoun repud ates the attempt, char
acterizing its purpose as ~ho poor, pttmil one
of turning out Printers of ne political faith,
and putting in.others of id. Ftrent; to put out
glair & Rives, to put m Gates & beaton. wnx
in no respect whatever, either in punctuality \
in the performance of their duty, or personal
respectability, are thefr superiors.
Mr. W right bore his testimony against the
defamation of the Printers. He said “he had
enjoyed a considerable acquaintance with those
ticn individuals for some years , and he owed it to
them to say, and he saui it cheerfully, that in 1
private life he found them amiable and externa-*
ble men , correct in their moral deportment as far <
as he had ever seen or heard, and esteemed in thci
solely in which they lived.”
But it was Mr. King of Alabama (who pre
ceded Mr. Wright in the debate) that brought
down upon himself the penalty which Mr.
Clay’s manner in pronouncing h:s anathema
on the Printer, and his casual hints dropped
out in conversation, suspended over the heads
•>t ail who dared to bear voluntary testimony
in favor of tiie character which he had resolved
to destroy. Un the day on which Mr. Walker
drst called in question Mr. day’s foul nnpu
ation, the latter was heard to sav, on leaving]
he Senate, that he would put a stop to that]
mode of reply. When he took his seat the]
next day, it was remarked by many that hisl
manner and look indicated an intention to]
browbeat and scowl from the Senate ail vindi-i
cation of tiie absent man whom he had ar-j
raigned beiore it. Got. King was not the man!
o regard his haughty express.on of a tyranni-I
cal temper. In trie course of his eloquent and*
impressive remarks upon the question peud-l
mg, ins magnanimous spirit wouid not aiiowl
r lie ex parte traduction of one on whom thefc
poors of the Senate were shut, to pass withouts
rebuke. He referred to the character of the!
individual to whom “infamy’ 1 was attached—£
caul “ he had been on terms of social intercourse |
with him—had observed his conduct in the so-l
trial and private relations of life , and he fell I
’found to say that for kindness of heart, humani -t
\/>J and exemplary deportment as a private citizens
\he would proudly compare with the Senator from*
Kentucky , or any Senator on this floor by whomM
llie was assailed.” E
I Although Mr. Clay might have taken it as]
I'a compliment, to have the character in favor]
of wtnch Mr. King bore such honorable testi-j
many compared to his own, he construed it]
in.o the bitterest reproach. He resented it as]
did the Empress Messaima, the bloody adul-l
tress, when told that the character of the chaste]
and faithful wife of Brutus might “ proudly ]
B compare” with hers. He had supposed that!
| Mr. Kmg “ considered himself responsible,” and]
■to provoke a challenge, he prononced the tes-l
Jtimonial given in our behalf by the Senator]
ifrom Alabama, “to be false , untrue, and cow-\
tardly.” The public know hew this issue ended!
■ Mr. Clay was instantly called to the arbitra-l
■meat in the rwxle indicated by himself; but hel
■could not go through with it. Without the!
gslig test concession m advance from Col. King]
f w h.s friend, or the retraxit of a syllable, Mr.!
] Clay and his friend Mr. Preston, were tain tol
“get up an explanation between themselves,]
[in the face of ihe Senate; and ‘under the circumA
-staws as thus explained (by themselves, )J
I says Mr. Clay, “ it was with inf nile pleasure hel
now declared every epithet in the least derogatory f
to linn , (Mr. King,) to his honor, or to his\
character, to be withdrawn.” i
It. was Mr.Clay’s first object to disgrace the!
conductor of the Globe, by a broad imputation,]
ratified by his caucus-pledged majority, and the]
acquiescence of the menaced minority. Fail-]
ingiivthe attempt to silence the Democratic!
members, his next effort was to disgrace and]
discredit those who dared to speak the truth ini
contradiction to him. JSucli was his course]
towards Mr. Smith and Coi. King. On the!
iater, he hastened to compel, by the force of]
he pistol, some admissiou or explanation, or]
subin.ssion, to impair the strength of his tes-|
timony in favor ot the first object of his attack.!
lie failed utterly, and was obliged to make,r
u;iuself, in the face of a Senate, an acknowl-J
edgmeut that he could not insist upon any]
l ing lie said “ derogatory ” to the Senator]
‘worse veracity he had impeached— 1 “to his
homr or to his character.” This solemn rsc- I
< •gu.tnm <>n the part of Mr. Clay, giving validi
ty to all that hail been uttered uy the high wit
ness who volunteered liw testimony to uiain-|
turn for us as enviable a character ror us envi-|
aide character as was ever portrayed in the]
Senate, and h.-s absolute withdrawal of “every]
epithet” by which he attempted to mark Colo-]
:.el Ki ng's averment as false, untrue, or in]
other respects to deroga'e from it, renders it
unnecessary to adduce any thing in support
o- it. But lest it might be thought that Mr.
Clay, although admitting the truth of Col,
King’s statement, did so rather with a view to
he Colonel house t, than to the first object of
Ins we gave from under his own
[hand a character that he voluntarily drew of
[the denounced individual, who had grown
[up from infancy to middle age within Ins im-]
[mediate observation, showing that he enter-]
tinned for him tiie highest respect, confidence,]
and affectionate friendship.
The explanation of Mr. Clay’s extraordina r y|
eiF r to destroy the cliara iter of one for whom]
de gave the highest proofs of respect, confi
dence, and kindness, even alter a seperation
in politics, and until he came to Washington
to conduct tiie Globe-, is all to be found in the
fact that he has done his duty as its conductor.
Although the Globe has spared Mr. Clay’s pri
vate life, and entered into no details of a career
which might well have justified the epithet he]
a,as applied to us. he is found not only tramp-j
ling under toot the law of twenty-two .years]
standing—an election made according to that]
.aw and invariable usage—a contract signed.]
s gned, sealed, and delivered by the party so!
Si. painted, and confirmed and accepted by the]
other—the Senate of the Union ; bug in addi-j
non to this public wrong, he is seen laboring]
o stigmatize, in defiance of truth*, and at ihe]
risk of h s own-, a private reputation to which!
t had once given him pleasure to do honor.—l
The cruel injustice was in no wise provoked.]
ut by an honest and zealous oppositi >n to Mr.]
Clay’s political aspirations, vv hen called up-1
•;i for speideations to warrant the arbitrary pro-]
Speeding which he urged upon the renate, he!
l lid not point to a single spot on the fair fames
File wou and tarnish; and as to the print which]
(jwas also declared infamous, be admitted that]
the scarcely ever saw it, and was indebted to]
“a foreign minister for reference to the only ar-|
(tide he h and adduced to sustain h ; s censure of]
■the G obe. Tiiat article spoke of the garrid- 1
ity of the President in a vein of ridicule, and]
Mr Clay, in adverting to it, (lie did not ven-j
tore to quote, for that would have turned hisi
invocation into ridicule,) appea'ed to the Sen-]
ate to punish this levity, as the most horrid of-|
fence, and said: “.Vue, on the grouml of eic!
character of the man and of the paper, they owed*
i. to Christendom—they owd it to theniseleesM
—>hey owed i to the purity of the national*
character, to disconnect themselves at once andjj
forever frvm this mail.” But he was act con-|
tent with calling down the judgement of his]
caucus-packed majority on the terrible offen-]
der denounced to him by the foreign minister!®
He appealed to the Democrats, and sa.d : “111
they regarded ’he character of the country at!
home and abroad, he ought to be dismissed,|
and he would tell thenvhere was scarcely one]
circumstance that had done their party more!
mischief than the retention of such a man and
such a paper as the r official organ.”
3 The Democratic party cannot but appreci
ate the smeeri-y of the des.re expressed by
Mr. Clay to promote their interests as aj
party, by delivering it from the “ mischief'■
? inflicted by the Globe newspaper. The whole]
object of the protracted Executive session was]
to break down the Globe establishment. By]
canceling the contract with the Senate, the]
whole capital of $40,000. invested in prenera-i
tion for Congress work, was thrown dead on]
the hands of the proprietors. The Depart-]
meat work, although directed by law to be let!
; out to the lowest bi ider. will be so managed]
5 as to exclude the Globe office from all partici-i
pation, and all Government advertisements]
will be withheld from it, as if Democrats were*
not a part of the people to whom they were]
? addressed. This srec.es of job work being]
3 1
” thus cut off, Mr. Clay is apprized will render.
Tit necessary tofili the columns of tiie paper]
r usually so occupied, with expensive matter
instead of that winch is profitable. He knows
too, that the mechanical labor is thirty-three 1
per cent h.gher here than at the North; and.
when to th,s is added the enormous
sos Congressional reports, which cost us ST3.OOO]
[ per annum, he looks to the speedy downfall]
of the press which has co6t him so much]
.trouble, and exposed and thwarted so many of]
| his well laid schemes, as a consequence. But]
jto make assurance doubly sure, he brands the
‘press and its Editor with infamy by his own
denunciation and the vote of his party majori
ty in the Senate, and then appeals to the
Democrats to aid in patting down the only’
Jdaily or weekly journal which supports their
cause at Washington-, or watches their ene
[niies, as a great mischief to them which he
[would kindly help th ?m to abate!!
I In the mean time, Mr. Clay and his friends;
Ire mem be ring the success which crowned the
Fetforts of the central committee, which loaded
[the mads with the fabrications of some four
[or five presses in this city, are taking mes
isures to multiply them, and to convert their
[weekly and semi-weekly prints into dailies.—
[Tiie Madisonian has anew prospectus to this
[effect; and Mr. Pleasants, of the Richmond
IVV big, has announced his intention of estab
lish:->g anew daily journal, to be called the!
[Observer, to a.d the National Intelligencer;®
[the Madisonian, the Alexandria Gazette, the!
[Georgetown Advocate, the Native Ameri-fj
]con, Mrs. Royal's Huntress, &c. The three
[leading journals will divide the public patron
[age. The Senate's printing will be given to
[one —that of the House to another—ot the De
jpartments to the third. The banks and other
[corporate monopolies and moneyed interests
[will make good toali ot them, by lumpingsub
jscriptions, the deficiencies in the supplies de
rived from ordinary subscribers.
$ Even in this state of things, the publishers!
got” the Globe do not hcs.tate to say to theirl
Democratic friends that they have full conri-l
Bdence that they will be able successfully to]
Econfront their enemies, and bring all Mr. Clay’3]
f!machinations to the disgraceful issue which]
Bhas heretofore attended them. They are out]
lot debt—they have a complete office—have|
gjcheertul hearts, some srength, and undying]
■devotion to the cause in which they are en-f
Igaged. Stripped of all public employment,!
Jtliey will bend all their power to make their pa-!
jper useful and interesting, and to spread its]
■circulation. They will ask no pecuniary con-1
Dtributions from their friends, in any quarter.—]
Ilf their press cannot be sustained without!
■this sort of aims, they will resign it. Thevf
■trust; however, that every friend to the Re-j
■publican party who can afford it, will subscrioel
■to one or other of the cheap papers which they!
Bpresent them in their prospectus if they can-|
Knot make an advance for the daily or"semi-|
■weekly. If every Democrat into whose hands -4
Sour prospectus may fall; shall send us some!
■two or three subscriptions, it will not only!
■give an impulse to the Globe which will set!
lits enemies at defiance, but enable us to em-i
iploy the best pens of our party, to give it news
lvalue, and repay, beyond expectation, the]
■ kindness of those who patronize us. It will!
|be recollected that, the extra session which ap-S
gproaches, will be the most eventful in ourhis-9
Itory. It is intended by the Federal party to!
letiect a revolution in the Government. Thefj
■cheap papers, for which we now ask patron-i
luge, will note every step in the progress of[
levents. All that is done in Congress will be|
[summarily reported—the revised speeches off
jboth sides given in the Congressional Globe]
■and Appendix. The Extra Globe will be]
|fiiled with editorial matter and summaries]
containing every thing of interest in the cur-j
rent news or business of the week.
PROSPECTUS.
The Extra Globe will be published weekly]
for six months, commencing on Wednesday,!
the 19th May, and ending on the 19th No-!
vember next, making twenty-six numbers, the]
last of which will contain an index. Each!]
number will contain sixteen royal quartuf
P : 'ges. ... “ I
The publication of the Congressional Globe!

May next, and will be continued during the!
session. The Congressional Globe will con-i
tam a synopsis of the proceedings of both!
Houses of Congress; and the Appendix, all]
the speeches on important subjects, at full!
length, as written our, or revised, by the mem-j
bers themselves. They will be printed as fast]
as the business of the two Houses furnish!

1 Washington City. April 5, 1541.
1 The funeral of President Harrison was con-
Iducte I to-day with great propriety—with pomps
[and solemnity. A vast multitude attended.—S
1 Uniform companies from the cities of Baiti-
Imore and Philadelphia united with those of the
|District; and these, added to several bodies of
[United States troops drawn in front neighbor
|;n< T posts, made a very imposing military dis-
Iplay. Several bands of fine music led differ
tent sections of the military array, and, with
Imeiancholly strains, blended the sympathies
jof the people. The w'i#le procession, inclu-
Iding a large concourse of citizens from the
[neighboring States, filled the Pennsylvania av
lenue to a very great extent. Tiie houses im-
Imediately on the Avenue were for the mot
Snart hung with black drapery; and the windows
[were crowded with fair faces. The day was
“soft and beaut iful, enabling the immense throng
|(a irreat many of whom were on foot) to attend
gthe remains they honored to the place of sen
[uiture, some two or three miles from the Pres
t.Jem's mansion. There; the last rites being
■paid, and the body deposited in the tQmb, the
scene was closed bv the firing of cannon and
volleys of small arms. Throughout the dav
minute guns were fired, and during the pro
cession the belis of the city tolled—-Globe.
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Mr.Tyler, although certainly not one whom
the people of the L 7 nited States ever intended
[to make their Chief Magistrate, has become
[so in conformity with the Constitution. H.s
[position must be unexpected and embarrass
|:ng; and he is fairly entitled to generou
]treatment from his political adversaries, as
Jwell as the best assistance of his friends. As
|Govemor of Virginia, and as the representa-1
Stive of that Commonwealth in the Senate ofj
Ithe United States, he has shown ability enough’
[torany station. Let him take his own stand,
■with a frankness suited to the emergency.
[Let him not be softly deluded by the insinu
ating suggestion that he ma jeath A 1 mend* of
(- Elisha; but put 011 his own vestments,take,
his own attitude, and stear his owu course.
Let him bring into action the Democratic
• principles which first made himpopuiar in the
f.Ync.ent Dominion. Let him not shrink from
ftiie Herculean task which an act of Provi
jdence has called him to perform. Let him
[not vield to the dictates of indolence and roil
[into'the bed that others have made for him.
■The country will soon perceive whether or
[not he has'tallen a victim to the organization
‘around him : whether or not he is capable of
self-government: whether or not he yields
himself a mere automaton to the giant ot
Hartford Convention Federalism. Let him be
himself, and he cannot tail to be respected.—
Pennsylvanian.
