Benton had driven them7 Ii is idle, there
fore. in the Globe 10 talk Of victorious Demo
crazy separate and span from The seeding De
mocrats Of 1870 Nor has there been any al
nance between the Straigh and the body
Of the party that voted for Mr.. Van Buren, 10
the last contest. The seceders having posses
sion OF the administration OF the Government,
have returned TO the ranks of their breth-
rem, and victory everywhere over the treache-
rous Wings has been the result, despite
the groanings and warnings of Mr.. Ben
Ton and Mr.. Blair, who want every thing
their udy.
Ii is the height of folly in the Globe to
talk of the President and his friends being
driven as traitors from the ranks of their add
versaries. The Globe knows that no one
will put any faith in any such assertion. The
history of the division of the late dominant par
y is too fresh upon the public mind TO allow OF
any such distortion Of facts. When Mr.. Tyler
was battling Tor the Constitution against the
encroachments Of the Legislature upon the Elk
ecutive during the sessions Of the VetOes, the
Globe was loudest in praise of him, and ap-
pauded him TO the top Of its lungs for standing
30 fearessly by his Republican principles. In
stead Of the Presid mt and his friends being dis
carded by Mr. Clay and his supporters as lrai-
tors to the principles upon which the canvass Of
1910 was conducted, it is directly the reverse,
and the People and The Globe are convinced of
the fact. Nay, if we remember Alright, the CO
lumns of the Globe al one time openly proclaim
| ed Mr.. Clay and his friends in the late schisnn,
to be the true traitor. TO the policy Of the victors
Of 1910.
The warning of the Globe to such of the De
mocTacy as voted for Mr. Van Buren, against
uniting with the Democratic Administration OF
MIR. Tyler, will, we sincerely trust, avail moth
ing. MIR. Benton and Mr.. Blair may prophecy
TILL they are black in the face, may howl forth
through the streets of Washington their warn
nss in the most ap. roved Cas- andra mode
we believe the Democracy will heed them not.
All Democrats throughout the country, if they
are true friends of the Republic, must, on prin-
| ciple, unite in support Of the Administration,
and 60 iouh TO battle in the cause Of the nomi-
nee of the Convention, be he who he may. In.
|
true Democ, at will seek to pour oil on the trou-
bled waters 10 arrest the dislurbers Of our fami-
| ly peace, and consign them to the contempt
they merit, if they cannot be persuaded
| to desst from their in .ane attempts at
creating schisms for The promotion Of
petty, personal objects If Mr. Benton
and Mr.. Blair really hope 10 see the Democratic
party succeed at the next Presidential election
| by excluding Mr. Tyler and his friends from the
canvass, they cannot lay claim, in our opinion,
to very high order of pJliical foresight. But
be this as it may, they will be prevented, this
tine, from seeing The experiment made
Interests of too vast an importance are in
| volved in the issue, TO permit the question Of
the Presidency 10 be banded about at the beck
and nod Of desperate add reckless politicians
not polilcians-but rather selfish demagogues
| We mus, be permitted TO doubt, that this Ad-
minstraion will go down in two y, airs, as pre-
dicted by the Globe. An Administration thai
has wthstood the furious attacks Of two pow
erlul ,litical parties in the Naliona Legislature
for period Of TWO years that had not single
friend all that time in the Senate to sustain its
selection OF public servants that ad but three
working supporters in the House to defend the
entertainments against the daily and hourly as
saults of the enemies; that has brought down
the expenditures of the Government several
millions while sorely pressed on all sides " a
deficiency Of revenue, and purposed mal-legis-
lation on the part Of Congress that has
wrenched from the unwilling hand of Mexico
millions Of dollars due by her TO our citizens !;
that has conducted to most brilliant close, by
the advice and consent of a unanimously hos
tile Senate, politically speaking, highly homo:
rable AID advantageous treaty with Great Bri-
tain, on a subject which has bottled, for nearly
fifty years, every attempt at settlement that
has extingushed FOREVER all hope Of success in
that description of Bank legislation, which
seeks TO sell to a few moneyed men the exclusive
right TO supply paper money, at will to this great
People; an Administration whose cardinal
principles are moderation and justice is not des-
tined to share the fate pronounced upon il by
the Globe. The Dmocracy will not let il go
down. They are its sdherents.
But the Globe asserts II will go down and will
carry with it all its adherents and further adds,
that any change will be for the better. Can it be
possible that Mr.. Benton and Mr. Blair m,di.
tate going over to Mr. Cay and the Wings, in
the event Of their not succeeding in their
schemes of forcing the Democracy TO obey their
high behests7 1t would seem so. The Demo
cracy will 60 into the contest in 1914, with the
Administration OF the General Government in
their hands, rail and fume aud fret as The Globe
may. If the Globes prophecies to be full
filed, if the Administration is to go down and
carry with il all its adberents, the Globe must
mean nothing more nor less than the defeat Of
