FOR THE MADISONIAN.
In a late number of the Globe, in No. 3, respecting Mr. Clay and a National Bank, the following expression may be found: "All turncoats and renegades are proverbially more insolent and unrelenting to their former associates than their original enemies." The truth will out; and it is upon that principle of man's conduct, that the insolence and implacable animosity of the Globe writers towards the Conservatives, may be accounted for. The Globe writers are "turncoats" as respects the expressed policy and patronized measures of Gen. Jackson's administration; they are "renegades" from the State Bank Depostile system, in support of which they were formerly united with those who are now Conservative Republicans. Hence the Globe writers are now more "insolent and unrelenting" to the Conservatives, "their former associates," than to their "original enemies." John C. Calhoun and his followers, who, notwithstanding the advances and embraces of the Globe, still regard it and its writers, if not with scorn, with unsupplied and unsuppliable want of confidence.
