THE GLOBE FORCED I'd MOVE ON 1T
AXIS BEFORE IT'S TIME.
The Globe is "forced" to antedate its pa
lriotism-to anticipate the regular action of tn
National Convention upon the merits OF the DE
mOcratic candidates 1t saw such matches
yet equal qualifications in half dozen candi
dates Tor the Presidency, that it hesitaled in ii
strong attachment to them ALL and could not
Tor long time, for the life of it, find heart tt
select its favorite and it would not now make
a selection were it not from pure humanity
The Democratic press has given marked signs
| OF preference for any candidate rather than Mr..
Van Buren,, and the Globe suspects that the
President and his constitutional advisers are not
IN hurry TO anticipate the action Of the con-
vention in favor of Mr.. Van Buren,, and forth
with the Globe, perfectly unprepared, without
waiting for orders from Undertook or ST. Louis,
bawls out Justify that Mr. Van Buren, is a pei
secuted man, and that the Globe is forced TO
come to the rescue and save Linn from impend-
ing destruction Bah ! The State and Central
Committees, the legislative caucusses, and
packed conventions, have been thrusting MIR
Van Buren, before the country, to the exclusion
of other candidates, and have, through various
presses, endeavored to hurry the meeting of the
convention, that their perfect organization may
tell, having good reason to fear that if full time
is allowed for The People to canvass the merits
of all the distinguished candidates of The Demo
cratic party, the "sober second thought" may
be like the thought which caused Mr.. Van Blu
ren's defeat.
The Globe says that Mr.. Buchanan is emf
nenuy qualified for the Chief Magistracy, and
that his Stale has ''peculiar claims" Has Mr.
Van Buren's State any peculiar claims But
Mr.Van Buren, fell in maintaining the principles
of the party He fell out Of office, that is true,
but Mr.. Buchanan fell with him, so far as an
allegiance Of principles was concerned, and
Pennsylvania was equally Frustrated with New
York.
Will the Globe tell US arhen the "peculiar
claims" of Pennsylvania are to be heard and al
lowed? She has never yet given President
to the Union, which we presume is one claim
in favor Of Mr.. Buchanan now but he must
give way to the ''peculiar claims" of the Globe
editor 10 be Dictator and printer to Cong ess.-
The editor is forced, and why should not every
body else be forced? He, indeed, is to make a
r. ko 1,o ~f hoc
but the forcing principle carried out, is to show
the value of the equality principle.
But we do not mean TO be invidous South
Carolina has not yet furnished President,
and is Mr.. Calhoun's historic renown"
so pulled by the Globe, 10 go for nothing? Has
not Kentucky "pecuar claims" for the forty
years public services" Of Col Johnson? or are
the peculiar claims of that State to be credited
to Mr.. Clay on the Globes hooks, and the
account balanced when Mr. Clay's friends vote
to give the Globe the printing of Congress
And so of the other great names mentioned by
the Globe-why are they all so unceremoniously
thrust aside? Is there one word OF truth in the
Globes having been forced? Why do not all
the Buchanan, Cass, Johnson, Calhoun, and
Tyler presses feel the force which coerces the
Globe? They would, if it were the force Of
the popular will, and political and moral justice,
for there is not one of them less sensitive 10
such suasion Than is the Globe.
The Globe must invent some more plausible
defence for its audacity and It's dictatorial tone
1t must learn to speak the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth 1t must open
ly avow that il has bargained with the "honest
ultras," ultra Democrats and ultra Federatists,
for the halfof the Congressional printing IN any
erert, and that it means 10 get the whole if it
can. 1t must confess that had John Tyler Ia
ken that distinguished Democrat" and his
tail, which the Globe says were to consider
what they would do and had the Globe been
printer to the Departments, with the Congress
sional printing in reversion, we should never
have heard of Mr. Van Buren's being persecu-
ted or of John Tyler being an imbecile and
least of all should we have heard the anathemas
of the Globe against such men as Messrs. Mel
son and Henshaw for taking Office under John
Tyler, or against such presses as the Boston
Post, as wearing their politics loosely, like
robe made TO fit any body.
The Globe must give other and better reasons
for osraclsing Democrats and Democratic
presses-other apologies for riding rough
shod" over the popular recusants to its pseudo
Democracy.
