We extract an aiticle from tho last Globe, and also Mr. Wai Ken’s remark* in the debate on the resolution to dismiss Messrs. Bluir is Rives, Prin ters to iho Somite. Wo derm the course of tho Whig Senators nn nncrnarhment on the freedom of iho Press, which engine they would make tn square with their politi cal notions, or treat it as tho vassal nf a despotic majority. The contrast between their conduct and that nf Democratic Senators, when the Editors nf the In telligencer wore elected by virtue of tho snore reso lution, is striking, and exhibits in bold relief tlm, holy horror of the tpoilt, which tho Whig Orators and Presses manifested when they believed them beyond their reach. But now ilia tables aro turned, lliry ate willing to assume tho " golden shackles," even though they may provo as fatal to liberty as “ the iron bonds of despotism." BRITISH SHIP GLENGARY.

Tho object of the writer, evidently is, to leave the impression that the “ Courtier" is not a neutral in politics. lie sneers at that pnper in the following mannrr " Among nil tho strictures wldch we have seen, the moil palpably abtutd are thoso of a French Heb domadal published by a Frenchman, in the hetcro. genemisly composed city of New-Yotk."
