rpE POLICY or THE GLOBE.


that il is resolved upon mischief, and no'hi"s
but mischief. Al one time We brought our
selves to conclude that il was governed ID hs
course solely by desire 10 secure ihe Pupuo
prinlng, and when we come 10 look INTO 'he
condition of things, as they will be presented
in the approaching Congress, It was obvious 70
our senses that il could only hope 10 succeed py
uniting with its own peculiar clique the Gay
party. The most acceptable service which It
could render 10 the Charles was by heaping
abuse on the head Of the Administration
Their enmily to the President, because he would
not commit an act OF perjury, was undying
aud he who would abuse him most, was mos,
likely TO receive their support. What II r. T.
Blair had at one time ext He'd him TO The skies
for the very acts most condemned by The clay
party? To change his ground and TO assume
different language, was thing easily 10 De
done by the weathercock who had SO easily
performed the extraordinary feat Of turning
against his connection by marriage" and "the
Yankee" whose course he had SC warmly es-
poused The sacrifice Of the Democratic party,
we are pursuaded would be regarded as OF no
moment, ii necessary TO secure HIM The spf lls,
and bring 10 his stores an additional 5000 900.
We still believe that to be one Of the leading
measures OF his policy. But we have no doubt
that, having Obtained This as primary object,
he has a second in view, ard TO that we now
call the attention Of the whole country He
does mol intend that there shall be an election
by The People Of a Democratic President.
The Globe is regarded all through the coun-
try as The mou,h-pie Of Mr.. Van Buren,.
Locking TO the election by the People, can il be
believed for an instant, that any consideration
Of Iolicy could lead The advocate Of promi-
nent C ndidate TO make war upon that large
host of Democrats who voted for General Har-
son and Mr.. Tyler in 1910? Is il not plain
and pa pable to the common sense OF every one,
that without their aid no candidate OF the De-
mocralic rary can be elected? Have they not
come up TO the polls everywhere, since the
Presidents veloes, and crowned the Demo
cratic party with wreaths OF victory? Can my
opposite IL resist the Democratic party if its
members are permitted TO unite upon the plat
form Of principles common 10 all 2 and yet the
unliring efforts of the Globe and its allies Of the
editorial corps is TO prevent this very union
There is a cause for this that does not meet The
public eye, and ii is none other than that which
we have already stated, viz: fixed and de-
termined purpose TO throw the election inlo
the House Of Representatives, and thus take ii
from the People.
The Globe has lis msg wings as to whether
Mr.. Van Buren, can carry majority of
the Electoral College, and it prefers its
chance of his election before the Hou e..
IL reasons after this way. The House Of
Representatives is Democratic by larg.
majority. Mr.. Van Buren's frieLds constitute
majority Of that maj riiy, and if his name can
thi, reasoning he may be in error, bot TO say the
least Of II, The result is most probable.
The calculation Is, that il runs no hazard in
throwing fl the Harrison and Tyler Democrats.
Let the convention be organized upon prnci-
plies not congenial with the wishes OF anv large
number OF the Democratic party and the orga-
nlzation viii be objected to- and the convention
will terminate without union or harmony The
consequence Of all which will be the running
OF several candidates; and whether the TYLER
Republicans OF 1910 shall vote for Mr. Van
Buren, or not, this sage and overwise editor puts
them down to some other candidate of the
party, thereby defeating the election of Wing
and devoving The election on he House of Re.
pTeseniatives, where the election of Mr.. Van
Buren, Will be sure
We stop not TO inquire into the suGiciency of
this reasoning or to the probabilities orits sue
cess, but we as firmly b eve that such is the
Globes course Of policy as il we could read the
heart Of lis editor. VIII the Democratic parry
hazard itself upon any St CHI contingency 2 vii
II 20 reason as 10 conclude that the Stale
Rights parry, at the head Of which the Pre-
sid mt now stands, will be likely to be
so ignorant as not TO see through the trickcry Of
the Globe2 Can any man be so stupid as not
TO understand 1t, when ilindulges in attacks upon
the People themselves by declaring them to have
been bribed in the late election Does the ,d-
tor, or its allies think that this is the way TO win
to the support Of any Democratic candidate that
'arge and controlling body of men? Is Henry
Clay the only man, on the Whic side who can
be run for The Presidency or do these stupid
and misguided men really believe that the Whir
parry will throw away its efforts upon an old
man, whose passions, if nothing else, have bro
ken him DOWN. Do they believe that the Whir
parry will stake It's success upon a Bank candi-
date or one in favor of comforting all power on
legislative majority by the abolition of the
Veto power7
We have spoken plainly because we believe
that the course of the Globe will, # persevered
IN, inevitably break down the Democratic marty
