BRlTfllQ WLD.

When pithed to the wwl, nd maddened to the last degree by the success of bis oppon* cntsttlie favorite phrase with which the editor of tlie Globe seeks to discharge his bile, is "Ihe Influence of British goftl." l$o oqe, per the (Mlii^tp^ty fhs^b r» wDOi fca* drawn it so largely fwflfn the Treasury^oer ought we te tp surpriaet^timl it .should oc&pty sd much of "his thongtitS' at the very period when be is hoping to be restored to his pristine glory As printer to Congress. The has certainly been severely tasked for tho last two or three years. Required from its -^ofttioo, to Turnish all -tlie raw material of sinngand misrepresentaiion which isindu lri« ousJy wofked up by the small village presses throughout the country—to nurse the wrath o/ tiie party end keep il waxBH-te ieat^br recruits and watch fojr deserters—40 •ootho angry discontents of ambitious Denwcrats, and pamper tlie igtiomnt prejudices of the vulgar, (no wonder it flagged somewhat du* .ring th« hot summer months) and all this, while it was annually disgorging five ,or si* ihousand dollars of ifeB Treasury spoils A hard task indeed and if its party, after all, shall dccidp that the Bspoeilyr i^ the better Democrat, we shall not blame the Globe for retiring in disgust- J'

But we took up the pen for the purpose of re ma 1 king upon tho lust resort,of the Globes in iho way of hatred and denunciation of tbe Whigs, A^rp!d I'etrjkin used to say, "we object to it.'* pven the harmless pleasantries of coon-skins ond hickory polos, when urged top f»r, in moments of exultation, are apt enough provocations to stir up ill will among citizens of common country. If the editor of the Globe is determined, however, to raise !he cry of "British old," and put it, as a passe-partout with which to unlock the wqrst passions of the pepple, into., the,hands of its numerous copyists throughout the country, why, then we say, upon the Globe be the consequences of tho ill blood and. inflamed passions of the approaching campaign. We can deal in harsh epithets, ana perhaps do. so too much. We cnllMr. Tyler a traitor—fo his party—and the language is severe, but it conveys a bitter truth not so in this charg6, oJ[ the editor of the Globe, when, by ingeniously coupling the eirepmstunces of Abbott Lawrence's visit to Engla nd, and the .selection of John Davis to view tho Illinois improvements^ he setks to distort those fuels-so as to serve the worst purposes of political malevolence. Tho editor of thfluGlobe dnre not go into the street and say to the humblest whig vote* h^ inay meot, **«ir, you nre lhe bribed recipient

Britisl) gold we sny dare not, for the least he could expect would be to get knocked: to the ground for tho calumny L-.vet be quietly sits down in his editorial ennir, and libels the entire whig party in language which he wojld./ear toiipply to any one member of it. This is rauk cowardice.

Let it n$t be supposed that in condemning the uso of this miserable catch penny slang about British gold, we have any fears that it mny operate to the injury of the whig party. Not at nil. On the contrary, in this particular enso we think tho Globe has been unfortunate in its allusi6n. Who first-sought after British gold Was it not that very excellent Democrat, Governor Reynolds, who went to England and borrowed it? A.nd now, all that the leader* have done, is to send an honest whig to see If they can safely lend the Democrats aniK i^ore. Is it.npt so? Ag»«in, if British gold is renllv of such wonderful efficacy in American elections, why was it not used, and unsparingly I60, in thp rcccnt canvass itt Mississippi, whero, to the eternal shame of all parties in this country, the repudialors hnvc just achieved a most disgraceful triumph If tho question about British gold is to be invidiously gone into, it will bo 'found that three fourths, if not mot e, of the debts due from the several States to foreign capitalists, Were incurred by those States during the ascendency of the "self-styled Democracy," who, wo are sorry to say, have shown themselves far more ready to receive "British gold'*ihan to return it.-~ W'Aig S/an*
