“ THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.” The following remarks of the Boston Post and Madisonian, are too true. The Gluhe Editor with n f t .«r officials and trading politicians, have reached a |,oiiit in the career of diet lion to the Democratic par tv unequalled in this country. And if persisted in cannot fail to defeat our party anJ principles for years. It is true, that few papers in the country, es pecially in the first few years of its existence, diJ more or better service for the republican Admin istration then in [lower, than did the Globe, yet it is equally true, and must lie admitted by every candid mind, that the Democratic party in turn, sustained it with a generous and open-handed liberality—un paralkled in the history of the newspaper press in this country. That party has cast upon its publish ers not merely an independancy, but a large fortune. Exulting in the possession of this, and presuming upon the kindness and forbearance of the Democratic party ; this man, who, a few years since,set out from Kentucky, as an Adventurer, a mere political pedlar, and who, not long since, had the shamelessness to avow ‘‘that supporting minority parties was unprofit able, and those who knew him, knew that he would not lie found doing so if he could avoid it,” (or words to that effect.) Can the man who avows such max ims as these, be regarded by honorable and high minded men, in any other light than as an abandoned “ swiss'’—yet this is the man whosucceeding beyond all reasonable or just expectations founded upon his own merits, like Dazile in the play, all at once fan cies himself grown intj some extraordinary [iersonage, and is ready with him to exclaim, “ who the devil do people take me to he 1” Is the dictum of this man to rule the party 1 Shall lie give out “ who thrives and who declines'?” Will ho be suffered to set his own private interests in the scale against the will of the people, the millions of the country, the great Dem ocratic party. We think not, there is a limit be yond which audacity itself, becomes powerless—and Blairs’ insolence and dictation have reached their grand climacteric—neither the Democratic party nor the Democratic press, (with the exception of a tew admirers,) who arc satisfied to follow ingloriously in his wake, will bear it any longer—he must cease his swaggering dictation, or the sceptre will pass into other hands. HOW TO MAKE PUBLIC OPINION. •‘The Boston Post came to us this morning filled with applauses from a swarm of newspapers, great and small, (beginning with Mr. Henshaw’sown spe cial organ, the Worcester Palladium, whose attack on Mr. Van Buren we quoted yesterday,) showered vi[ton the now secretary of the navy. One would suppose, from the volume of newspaper panegyric, that Mr. Henshaw was a [latent remedy for the dis eases of this administration, and would bring “the same old coon” that was brought to death’s door by the gorges of 1810, into quite a healthy and cleanly con lition. Nay, more, that the specific had operated so extravagantly as a love-powder, as to make the democratic farmers, whose cornfields had been bro ker, down and waited by the varmint, fall over head and ears, anil snout and tail, in love with him. One would suppose, from the multitude of these panegyrics, (the Post has three columos of them, which sec in to have fallen, like a theatrical shower ot snow, all at the instant set down in the prompter’s room,) that Mr. Henshaw was the most popular man in the country, and that lie ought himself to he the nominee of all parties in the country. We have the whole string of administration presses out in one burst of admiration and joy at Mr. Henshaw s ap |(ointment. We have all such of the whig papers as consider that Mr. Hcnshaw’s democracy would be sufficient warrant to Mr. Tyler to break into toe democratic camp, and afford him an opportunity ot breaking down its organization, which has been so long a stumbling block in the way of his new scheme of treachery. All these cunning whig papers arc de lighted with Mr. Henshaw’s appointment. Then there arc a parcel of kind-hearted democratic editors, who, having their private benevolence appealed to, and licing assured (by Mr. Henshaw himself proha lily—at all events, by his adjunct of the Post, Mr. Greene) that he only took the place “ to su'serve the cause of the true democracy ,’’ were willing to give him a good word. Such an old tactician in the press os Mr. Hcn shaw, aided by such an arch, droll, quizzical person age as Mr. Greene, (who lias always worn his (uili t'.cs like a loose robe made to fit any hotly, but of a color that might he called democratic,) could easily procure putTs from good-natured editors to blow him Up to a Size to fill a place in Mr. Tyler s cabinet. Not the worst enemy of Mr. Hcnshaw would hesi tate to admit that he had character enough to fill a scat in a cabinet in which Mr. Tyler, Spencer and Porter held the high places. We were, however, a little amazed to see that any dexterity could draw a pulTout of the Rhode Island democratic organ, on the union of Air. Hcnshaw with the executive cabi net, who had lent federalism the aid of the military force of the United Slates to put down the freemen of that slate contending for the right of suffrage, and the right to establish a constitution for themselves, in dciogat'on of a king’s charter to aland company, Under which they had been governed against their consent for so many years. — Washington Globe, Ju ly 18. Remarking upon this, the Boston Post of July 23d, says:— “This is a specimen of the argument, fairness, ami decorum of a pajier that assumes to he the organ ot tile democratic party of the nation ! Ihe \Y ashing ton Globe. It was by a similar style of “smut and tail’’ literature, and of coarse, dictatorial, and vindic tive denunciation, that the Globe contributed in no small degree to Air. Van Buren’s defeat in 1840, and if the policy it now urges so fiercely should he adopt ed by the democratic party, it will experience as dis astrous a defeat in 1841 as it did at the close of the Harrison campaign. But of this we entertain hut slight apprehension. Neither the democratic press, nor the democratic party of the country, will follow the Globe in its errors of Judgment, or violation of truth, justice, and decency. Ihe intimating that the democratic editors who have spoken favorably of Mr. I lens haw’s appointm mt, were cheated or coaxed into their favorable expressions, and, after all, that their opinions are of no more consequencethan counterfe t snow-flakes, exhibits to them the degree of honest dealing and courtesy they may anticipate at the hands of the Globe whenever they refuse to bow before il, and of the resjiect it entertains for the character ol the pre«g generally. The Globe says we have always worn our |iolitics like a loose robe made to fit any body, hut of a color that might he called democratic. If this were true it would distinguish Us favorably from Mr. Francis P. Blair; his political rots; has not always Uirne the democratic color; this needy ad venturer was one of the first instruments in effecting the bargain between Clay and Adams in 1825; an act which was a greater cheat upon the democracy than all the frauds of 1840, anti which aroused the indignation of the honest people of the country from one extreme of the nation to the other. When the sagacious Mr. Blair saw the raging of the storm, and those who fell with the fiist Adams unsuccessfully attempting to rise with the second, he did what lie says should damn Air. Tyler to everlasting infauiv, viz: turned traitor to Henry Clay, and came among the Victors to si-ck spoils. It is the immaculate dem ocrat, Francis P. Blair—who excuses his agency in the bargain between Adams and Clay by sayino he was Mr. Clay’s personal friend and his relative—who went to Washington for [lelf, with the odor of state banks and nation and banks about him, that now talks of our politics hanging loosely! But mark the hy pocrisy of this gentleman. For years and years he has filled column alter column of his paper from the Boston Post and commended it as a true democratic journal, and even complimented it within a lew weeks; yet, he now says We have always worn our politics like a l ose robe. He has either spoken falsely here tofore or docs so now. Bui we are willing to abide by tile decision of the democratic voters of the coun try u|mn this point. If the Glolie or any other press can find an instance where the Port has deviated from a steady support of the usages and principles of the democratic party—where it has failed to do its duty as a diligent laborer in the eausc of that party —we will confess the propriety of the Globe’s accu sation; unless this be done, Mr. Blair must stand as a reckless calumniator in the estimation of honorable minds. AVe commenced fighting for General Jack son’s election when Francis P. Blair was bargaining for Clay. He waited until the democrats won the battle, then went to Washington, dipped his long fingers into the public treasury and withdrew his hand full. To be sure he came near losing SISOO which Amos Kendall thought did not belong to him, hut an appeal to Air. Nile’s “ private benevolence,” after Harrison was elected, restored it to the patriot who now repays democrats for the wealth he has re ceived through their exertions by calumniating them, and attempting to control the democracy of the coun try by his dictum. AVe are alike indifferent to the praise or censure of Air. Blair—we look to more hon orable and co: sistent men for a favorable judgment upon our conduct and do not fear disappointment. The democratic party does not belong to the AVash ington Globe, and it will not longer tolerate its inso lence in silence; the “ snow-flakes” of the democratic press will convince. Mr. Francis P. Blair that the. democratic editors of the country, also, are capable of judging correctly, and possess the manliness to spurn his impertinent dictation; they will not hesitate to expose his mercenary selfishness, and to treat with scorn a swaggering braggart. In allusion to the same subject, the Aladisonian of July 15th, hasthc following THE ARROGANCE OF THE GLOBE. The editor of the Globe seems to suppose that the democratic party is bis properly, and every member of it his vassal, to be moved at his sovereign will anu pleasure. He has the audacity to assail Alessrs. Henshaw and Nelson for accepting the seats in the Cahinet offered them by the President. He dare not question their democracy, but undertakes to cx-com mumcate them for being willing to serve their coun try in arduous and responsible posts. AVhat would he have? If appointments are offered to persons not known fir their uniform adherence to the democratic party at all times and all seasons, then the President is denounced for pursuing a course hostile to the democracy. lie is represented as pro fessing one thing an I practising another. If known Democrats are appointed—men who have h rotofore been the pride of their party —then the President is charged with sinister designs; and the gentlemen who accept the trust offered them arc denounced. — Can any thing be more preposterous ? The truth is, the Globe is unwilling to abide by the free and inde pendent expression of the sentiments of the democra cy. Having personal objects to accomplish, the editor is determined to make the will of the party bend to his will; and he would prefer its defeat rather than its success, under men and auspices different fiom those of Lis selection. How long his arrogance and dictation will be endured, remains to be seen. AVe much mistake the indomitable spiiit of democracy, if it long brooks the insolence of such a man, who in sults it daily by proscribing every man who docs not minister to his cupidity. MARTIN VAN’ BUREN. In i recent letter Air. Van Eurcn makes the fol lowing declaration: “NO ONE CAN EXPECT OR SHOULD DESIRE, TO BE ALWAYS IN OFFICE UN DER A GOVERNMENT AND INSTITU TION’S LIKE OURS; AND I HAVE EN JOYED THAT PRIVILEGE LONG ENOUGH TO SATISFY AIY UTMOST AMBITION.” This is emphatically true. Air. Van Buron has been constantly in public office since tho year 1812; and lias held the offices of Senator of this State, Se nator of the United States, attorney general of this State, Governor of this State, a member of the con vention that formed the new constitution, Secretary of State for the United States, minister to Great Bri tain, Vice President of the United States, and Pre sident of the United States. If this does not satisfy the ambition of-any man, it is difficult to say what will. We do think that Air. Van Buren ought not to permit his name to bo used as a candidate for any office again. We have many eminent men whom the people would delight to honor, and whose emi nent servi cs fully entitle them to the highest office in tl.c republic. It is unjust and ungenerous for one man to aspire to a monopoly of the highest honors in the nation. —Au/i Hank Democrat. MR. CALHOUN IN THE WEST. Every day adds to die swelling lide of popularity which is destined to elevate John C. Calhoun to the Presidency, and Levi Woodbuty to the Vice Presi dency, in November, 1344, as well by the decision of a National Convention as by the unbought suffra ges of die millionsof the Wi st the South, the North and the East. It need not —it cannot be disguised. It is as clear as the sun in Mid Heaven. The active men —the people—those who “fought the fight of Democratic faith” in 1310, desire the nomination of some other than the theu defeated candidate under the lead of anew name. Calhoun, Johnson, or Cass the party will sweep like some rushing tide over all opposition, with either of these as a leader, there are thousands and thousands in every state that would swell swell the Democratic ranks that wine ver unite on Mr. Van Buren. Correspondence of the N. II Gazette. Detroit, Mich. July Bth, 1813. Dear Sir, —Ere this reaches you, you will have seen that the friends of Gen. are bestirring themselves in this and the adjoining State, with reference to the Presidential campaign. Gen. C. is popular in our State, ana this, together with State pride, may insure him the vote of the State yet Mr. Calhoun has a strong hold on the affections of the peo ple, mid confidence of the party, and as between him and Mr. Van Buren there is but one opinion— Mr. Calhoun Would distance him imrneasurcnbly. Van Buren's prospects in (he 1 Great ll ’est" are any thing but flattering. Ohio Indiana and Michigan can m no event go for Va Buren as a first choice, and from information we receive here, which is entitled to credit, Illinois which was for him in IS4O, is backing out.—Thus will you perceive his prospects of suc cess in the West are small; in the South they are little less flattering. Pennsyl vania did not in ’4O go for him, nor can she be made to in ’44. The “Empire State,” his own State, if divided into congressional districts for the choice of Delegates, will be divided.—Where then hut to New England has he he to look for support ? Can New England, will she, prove recreant to her self by giving her votes for Mr. Van Buren to the ex clusion ofSouth Carolina’s favorite son, a man who for talents, integrity, and sterling democracy stands unrivaled in the union ? I have yet to learn that N. England will give her vote for Mr. Van Buren, which is virtually voting against a man, whom all the West •■ml South are united in for Vice President, the Hon. Levi Woodbury of your own State. An act so sucidul as this lias never yet been consumated by the ever vigilant Democratic “yankees.” But if they should attempt it, the South and West will save them from political suicide. Blair ofthe Globe is fast losing friends in the West, on account of the " anda tory course he pursues, and is destined to follow in the same wake with Duff Green, who you know was at one time omnipotent, but like Lucifer fell. With John Caldwell Calhon and Levi Wood bury on onr tick* t what have we to fear. “The gates of hell shall not prevail a gainst us.” But Johnson, Buchanan, Cass or Tyler will receive a better vote in the West than will Van Buren. The people say that if Van Buren is the can didate we have no guaranty that we shall no get “wliipt out” as in ’4O. That elec tion sir, settles one of two things, either the people did not like the man\ or his principles , the latter I am unwilling to admit; and if the former, is there any evidence their feelings have undergone a change favorable to him. It is to be hoped that our democratic friends in the Hast, will unite with their brethren of the South and West in do ing justice lo Mr. Calh mm and the jia triotic State Avho ciaims him with pride as her son. I have just returned from a tour through tile Western and South Western States, and I was astonished to see and learn the fee ing that is get ting up for Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Wood bury. and the men who were in ’3(5 and ’4O, the advocates of Mr. Van Buren now say, “its no use, “ we Cant go for Van Buren,” his want of popularity with the masses lost us the election in 1840; and will again if nominated.” Some few of the old office holders who fell with him and if lie rises, expect to rise with him, are actually engaged in trying to secure his nomination, but the people see through their democracy, they see it lies in the breeches pocket and therefore heeds not ther wishes or kindly tendered admonitions. In conclusion allow me to say sir, that from all that I can learn, the public mind is settling down in Messrs. Calhoun and Woodaury. Yourob’t. servant THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. Yesterday, for the first time, the Passenger Cars came up to McCall’s Mills, two and a half miles from this city. The cars will now run regularly between that place and Savannah, departing every morning at six o’clock, (Sunday’s excepted.) We ate now within a few hours travel of the sea board. We can visit Savannah—enjoy the proverb ial hospitality of our neighbors—pursue our avoca tions of business or pleasure and return with light ning celerity to our homes. Macon and Savannah are uow in connection a3 in interest, “one and in s parable, now and forever.” LOUISIANA ELECTION. As we mentioned in our last the Dem ocrats have carried every Congression l District. The following are the majori ties, so fur as heard from: Ist Dist.—majority for Slidel, 317 2d do do for Saßranche, 8(> 3d do do for Dawson, 583 4th do do for Bossier, 158 1,174 This result is as creditable to the Dem ocracy of the State as it is gratifying to their political breihren throughout the Union. The Whig majority in the last Legislature endeavored so to arrange the districts as to secure the entire delegation, and in this praiseworthy effort thevwere aided by the ('entral ('lay Club of Wash ington City. Air. Moore, a member of the last Congress, in a Circular which was intended to he circulated among the Whig members of the Legislature, carv ed out the Districts, (making the Fourth, ns he thought, secure for himself,) and added, that the arrangement had the sanc tion of the Clay Club of Washington City. A copy of this precious epistle fell into the hands of a Democrat, who published it for the benefit of his consti tuents. An effort was made to transfer one of the wards in the city of New Or leans from the first to the second district, but it was refused by the Whigs, on the ground that it would possibly give the Democrats a chance to carry the first. But (how wickedness'works its own pun ishment !) the Whig vote of that Ward was insufficient to counteract Air. Slidel’s majority in the balance of the First Dis trict, though it would have secured tho election ot Gov. White in the Second, where the majority of Air. Laßranee, the Democratic candidate, is but 80. In ad dition to elecling the entire Congression al delegation, the Democracy have carri ed, by a large majority, the call for a con vention to amend the Constitution of the State, by extending the right of suffrage, and other wholesome provisions. Wash ngton Spectator. I was'told by a gentleman who went to Boston In his company that, in a most interesting conversation between Mr. Le gare and another very distinguishe 1 gen tleman, the value of - public honor was discussed. Mr. L. expressed the strong est conviction of their complete empti ness, and declared that his future life should be devoted to the attainment of such acquirements as ennoble the indi vidual without reference to the stamp of public recognition by honors and office. This philosophy, though it seems very obvious, is ofteoer remembered in the dawning and closing than in the high meridian of a political life, and Mr. Le gare was the rare man lo have acted up on it when his renown was at the high est. Most men know, though few act as if they believed, with Shakspeare, that “ Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseih to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it extend to nought.” My friend added that Mr. Legare was very desponding in the tone of his con versation, and seemed to have a strong presentiment of evil.— N. Y. Cor. Nat. Intelligencer. A City under Protest.— The Al bany Atlas says : —“ We understand that a draft upon this city for §25.000 were recently protested. It was for a portion of a debt due to the State for money ad vanced, tue balance for which, some §OO,OOO, also remains unpaid. There was no offer made to renew the bond or to postpone its payment, nor any expla nation offered of the circumstances un der which it was offered to be protested. The fact of this amount falling due and of its being called for, was in truth con cealed from the members of the Board. The Chamberlain omitted to report it, and the Mayor did not choose to notice the fact. VVIIiuGI KI. In the American Democrat of the 12th inst., a republican paper published in Ma con, Ga., we find an article laboring to prove that Mr. CLAY is in favor of the PRROTECTIVE TARIFF ! ! a fact, it seems, which its whig opponent denies. Our Federal friends got handsomely bit at this game, in 1840, with Mr. Tyler and a National Bank, and it is a little sin gular that they should be so ready to try their hands at it again. We can assure the American, that here at the north, if a democratic editor -should undertake, to assort that Mr. Clay is opposed to a “pro tective tariff,” his neighbors would be tempted to shut him up in a mad house. Mr. Clay’s friends here are almost to a man high protectionists ; and if it could lie satisfactorily proved that their great leader is opposed to them on this subject, they would instantly forsake him, and place him in the same category Avltli Capt. Tyler. “ Protection,” with the northern whigs is simply an affair of the pockeis, and although, in most matters they would follow Mr. Clay with a blind fatuity, yet, as this is regarded as a malter of interest , a stroke of whiggery which is to tax the people of the north, south and west, for the benefit of a few manufacturing whigs at the east, the dollars would preponder ate, and they would even forsake Mr. Clay, much as they are devoted io him, rather than abandon the hope of filling their pockets from the avails of other people’s labors.— Baugh. Free Press. fromihe Mobile Tribune, 24th Inst. FROM THE COUNTRY. In the fourth district the democrats seem to be admirably organised, and are working with a spirit which forshadows a great victory. Mr. Payne was still in capacitated from the canvass by illness, lie has, however, issued a most admira ble address, that will more than supply his presenceainongthe voters, lliselec tion may be set down as certain. From the third district the news is still more cheering. The whigs show a pseudo confidence, but it is only intended to keep up the spirits of the party else where. They have no hope of success. We are told that great crowds assemble to hear Air. Lewis ; and that scores who go from curiosity, leave with a full con viction of the injustice, of a tariff and the danger of a bank. Col. Lee may be con sidered no opposition. In the second district, Air. Belser has published, under his own signature, a pointed and able circular, breathing a calm confidence in the people, and the end of the election. In this district flic news from day to day grows more favorable. If we hud three months more for the canvass, Judge Goldthwaite would be elected by a very handsome majority. If, however, the change continue as at present, there can be no doubt of his success. The three other districts we shall car ry by large majorities. There is then, a very strong probability that the entire State will riot send a whig to Congress. So glorious a victory, added to that re cently achieved in 1 .ouisiuna, would have an influence on other States whose effects would defy calculation. ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE-KING DENNY OF SANDY POINT, RIVER GABOON. The following is no hoax. “ King Denny’s” style we like very much. It is marked by that sententious brevity which, scouting all circumlocution or ambiguity, goes directly to the point.— “King Denny ’ wants a coat and trows ers, and other small articles of apparel, his usual habit being to go without, and content, like Milton’s Adam, to be “ with native honor clad”—so he says to his Sister of England. “ King Denny, wish my Sister send me a great coat, with se campotes or epanlettrs, waistcoat and browsers, plenty gold in them ; cocked hat with gold and feather; sword and telt, plenty gold, and two easy chairs.” With the true spirit of knighthood, King Dennis of Sandy Point, lliver Gaboon, winds up his epistle to the female Loyal ty of England, by the complaisant assu rance—“ King De .ny very glad to hear Queen got husband We are of opinion “ King Denny” ought to-, be iuvitedby his brother Prince 1 Albert, to a seat in the next World’s Con vention, by which time he could lie got I ready in the article of coat and trowsers. He would make a conspicuous figure, in one of his “ two easy chairs,” alongside the Royal President, listening frith in tense interest to An harangue from Abtg Kelly. If the Prince does not invite him, we should not be surprised to learn the reason was—a slight touch of reasonable jealousy, prompted by that gallant senti ment of the Royal Cu flee, which makes one instinctively search the map for how many degrees of latitude “ Sandy Point, River Gaboon” can be distant from the Metropolis of the Gaul—hear him ! “Sister—King-Denny, of Sandy Point, River Gaboon, must embrace you for the things you send me by Capt. Tucker ! !” But we are tiring the reader’s patience. A ItOA'AL REQUES V. The papers relative to the expedition to the River Niger, were recently pre sented to Parliament. Amongst other documents will he found a despatch from" Tucker, dated Fernando, Po., May, 31, IS4O, to the Admiralty, giving an ac count of his mission to King Denny, of the Gaboon River. “His Majesty” seems to have been infinitely delighted with the respect paid to him by the repeated sa lutes Avith which Captain Tucker hon ored him, but sadly disappointed with the presents —a gold medal and chain sent to him by the Queen of England. “His Majesty” gave expression to this disappointment by dictating the follow ing letter to the Queen : TO QUEEN OF ENGLAND. ‘ Sister—King Denny, of Sandy Point, River Gaboon, must embrace you for the things you send me by Captain Tucker, your war ship Wolverine, who dashed me them this day with grand ceremony, which much pleased me. King Denny was too much glad to save Queen’s men belong Lynx, which cost §l2O, which I too much glad to give Queen. King Denny Avish very much to be brother to Queen, and will be very glad suppose Queen no let Spanish ship come for slaves ; and suppose Queen send plenty English ships to me for trade for ivory, gum, bees Avax, dye wood, and ebony. And King Denny Avish mv sister send me a great coat, with secampotes or ep aulettes, waistcoat and trowsers, plenty gold in fivern ; cocked hat with gold and feather} arid two easy chairs ; and King Denny wishes Queen health and good bye.

Anecdote of Charles Lamb.— Charles Lamb was, at one part of his life, ordered to the sea-side for the benefit of bathing; bur, not possessing strength of nerve sufficient to throw himself into the water, he necessarily yielded his small person Up to the direction of two men to “plunge him.” On (he first morning, ha-* ving prepared for immersion, he placed himself, (not without trepidation - )between these two officials; meaning to give the previously requisite instructiohs which his particular case required 1 but, from from the very agitated state he was in from terror of what he might possibly suf fer from a “sea-change.” his unfortunate impediment ofspeeeh became greater than usual; and this infirmity prevented his directions being as prompt as fras neces sary. Standing, therefore, with a man at either elbow, he begun, ‘I-I-I-m to bo di-i-ipped !’ The men answered the rea dy instructions with a ready “Yes sir.” and in they soused him ! As soon as he rose, and could regain a portion of his lost breath, he stammered out as before, “I-I-I-m to be di-i-pped 1” Another hear ty “Yes, sir,” and down he went a second time, Again he arose, and then with a struggle (to which the men were much used on such occasions to heed) he made an effort for freedom; but not succeeding, lie articulated as at first, “I-I-I-m to be di-i-pped.’! “Yes, sir,” and to the bot tom he went again ; when Lamb, rising for the tlirid time to the surface, shouted out, with desperate enegy, “O-o-only once.
