THE COURSE OF THE GLOBE.

The Globe, If few days ago, abored, with
some ingenuity, in an editorial of two columns,
to show that your charge, that its recent and
present course was with the design of obtain
ing the public printing was ridiculous. In
deed al first blush, il would seem that hostility,
on its part, TO the friends of all the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency, except Mr. Van
Buren,, was rather queer way for it TO take to
get itself elected to the printing. But little re-
Election makes the thing plain enough. The
Globe has Mr. Benton and that portion of the
VanBuren party which he controls; il can only re-
tain them by opposing the interests of al! the
other Democratic candidates. Mr. Benton has,
from the majority of the Democrats and acted
with the Wings, and it is believed, upon good
grounds, that he prefers the success of Mr.. Clay
to that of any Of the Democratic candidates for
the Presidency, except Mr. Van Buren,. The
Clay party, IN the next Congress, cannot elect
public printer without the assistance of some
portion Of The Democrats This state of parties
presents fine opportunity for coalition /;
and if Mr.. Benton shall find that he
can take off Democrats enough 10 elect
the printer, by "a coalition" with the Clay
party, we may expect TO see division Of
"the spells" between the Globe and the Intelli-
gencer. The Clay party would readily make
such "bargain," as without it, the Intelli
gencer must go down before the campaign is
over, or be n severe drain upon their private
purses-no longer having the Bank 0fMe Uni
ted States TO draw upon The Globe would
snap a, it, as, by its devotion 10 that mere fag-
ment or segment Of the Democratic party COM
manded by M. Benton, it has lost caste with
the great body Of the Democracy, and can hope
no more from its favor.
So far, therefore, from the Globes hostility
covert towards some, open towards Others, but
real towards ALTO all the Democratic candi-
dates, except Mr.. Van Buren,, being so preposte-
rous way of reaching the public printing, as it
would have The ORD believe, it u.s. in fac', its
only way. Ii cannot fail u strike the Demo
cracy Of the county as strongly confrmatory Of
this view of the Globes game, that, while the
whole Wing party hold Mr.. Clay up as their
only candidate and the Democracy look upon
nun as Nhtlf plilf " al duAdBOulsl, NiiODt,
instead of wagng war upon him and
his party, is taken up almost entirely
with abuse of President Tyler,-a candi-
date "without pary"-and who, the Globe
would persuade its readers, will not have even
a "CorPoraps guard" by the time the election
comes on. Mr.. Clay, the autAor of all the mon
srous measures Of the Extra Session goes I'M
noticed, while Mr.. Tyler, who has defeated
them all, is the dailyTand the only theme of its
abuse. Mr. Clay, whose steps it was wont to
dog and whose every movement it used TO
chronicle and comment upon, has been al the
winter upon an electioneerlng tour down the
Valley Of the Mississippi, and the Globe has
scarcely alluded TO his whereabouts; so busy has
il been helping Bolts to head Captain Tyler ~
Important elections are going on, and others
approaching, and the friends of President Ty-
Ter are every where voting with their Demo
cratic brethren; while the Globe, instead of
firing upon the common enemy, is trying to Gre
ate disrust of part Of our own forces. All
this is but too ominous Of the course which the
Benton-Blair party mean 10 pursue, in the great
lattle of 1874, in the event of another than Mr.
Van Buren, being nominated by the National
Conve nton.
DEMOCRAT OF 1913.
