Of political facts. Ii will furnish noble
theme for many scorching leader, and
many arighieous defamation upon the
integrity of public morals.
THE GLOBE AND IT'S COMPEERS.
We have often heard told, an anecdote
of . stump orator, in the renowned State
o! Tennessee who in making speech on
one occasion, SAID: "Fclow-c citizens, if
live until November next, will cast my
vote Tor Martin Van Buren, hereupon
there was strong show of disapprobation
in the Grove, -"but," added the astute po-
IiIician, 81 do not expect to live till that
time" The Washingto Globe and scye-
raj kindred prints, remind us OF this story
when protesting to vote for Mr.. Calhoun,
if he is nominated They are making
every effort TO Identify the cause of demo.
cracy with Mr.. Van Buren,; they in effec,
tell US that Van Burenism and Democracy
are the same. That the fortunes of the
two are indissolubly united. That Demo
crauy must fall with Mr.. Van Buren,, and
that Mr. Van Buren, m LIST rise with Demo-
cracy. They hear it said with bad temper,
that their lavorite Can only get the votes
he got ia 1910, and that there is danger of
his defeat. They reply that he will get all
the votes of the Democrats, and they want
no more for him. They dcnounce any man
who will receive wing votes or support
from the friends Of John Tyler 1t is
known that the friends of the President
prefer Mr.. Calhoun to any Of the other
candidates Of the Democratic party. There
is nothing in the slightest degree repre-
henslble in receiving the votes of Fy!er-
ties, Wings, or Morm1ns. If a mans own
principles and capabilities be correct and
approved it is not to be inquired who votes
for him. Il lie is aHle TO combine in his
support more than his party vote, it is only
evidence of his greater strength. Other
things being equal, il should certainly give
him the preference as to availability. But
has not the Globe cut itself of from sup.
porting Mr.. Calhoun by dcnouncng any
man who would be supported by TyIer's
friends? The truth is the whole object Of
the CODE in assaiing Tyler and those who
Jo. =, ;,,li 81,
Mr.. Calhoun. Ii that gentleman should
receive the nomination OF the convention.
(hut which the Globe intends he shall not,)
we have no d ubt the Globe would lmmc-
diately make the discovery, that he would
get The votes of some Tyler men AMI wings,
nd forthwith with righteous Indignation
W ull mme lately proclaim, coalltion, in
,rg lie and corruption. That Mr. Calhoun
vas 20 Dem ,crat, that the VIII lie conven'
ion was fraud, mere contrivance Of
T. lerisn which the Democracy must repl-
diate.
A very pretty lit,e artifce was got up
by friend Of the Globes to parry in ad-
vance any reflections which might be nude
ufon the course of that paper. This was
the declaration that when any paper makes
an attack upon the Globe, it was sure TO
follow up its attack by deser'ion Of the
cause Of Democracy. The Globe is there
fore the embodied personiication Of true
Democracy, and its sacred person must re,
main inviolable, and exempt from all ami
madverson. We do not subscribe to this.
We hope that Sparta has many better
son than he. "Brave men have lived be-
fore Agamemnon," ana Democrats before
the editor Of The Globe, and we trust that
many will survive him,
And because man believes that for the
reason MIR. Van Buren, was beaten in lS40,
and most overwhelmingly beaten that
there would be danger in running him
az lin, it argues no hostility TO him or TO
the principles of Democracy. The dlsas-
trous contest OF 1910 might vel create dis
trust in any man who was not actuated BY
preiudiced or selfish considerations. The
las; election in Tennessee may afford a
striking and premonitory illustration of
the fact, that defeated man will be again
defeated, when the points in controversy
are the same. The friends of MIR. Polk
were sanguine of his success, but when
the election came, he was beat like he was
