THE GLOBE IN 1S4l.

We think we have already given sufficient
quantity Of unanswerable arguments proving
the Presidents honesty and consistency from
the columns of the Globe in l84l, 10 demolish
all the special pleading and barefaced assertions,
10 establish charges of dishonesty and inconsis-
tency against Mr.. Tyler in the Globe Of 1S43.
The question to be decided is when did the ed-
tor tell the truth, in 1871 or 1913? He must
have told the truth at one time or the other, for
he has taken both sides of the question. II Mr.
Tyler is not u consistent and honest Republi-
can, then the Globes assertion in 1S4l was un-
true On the other hand, if he is such Re
pubIican-such "DELlvERER" as the Globe
most solemnly declared him to be in lS4l, then
the editor of that print must necessarily assert
what is not true in lS43, when il calls him q
Federal Wing. Hence he has told the truth at
one time and a story the other. We insist up
on it he told The truth at one time or the other,
because he could not do otherwise. There was
no escape for him. He was obliged to tell the
truth when he said Mr.. Tyler was consistent
Republican, or when he said he was not. He
must be one or the other.
Well, to fortify the Globe in its first position
we have already adduced, and will continue to
adduce the concurrent testimony of the Albany
Argus, the New York Evening Post, the Rich
mond Enquirer, and all the leading Democratic
journals.
But the best (and certainly ndisputable) evil
dence of the correctness of the Globes position
in 1841, is the following letter from GENERAL
JACKSON, which we find in the columns of that
journal a short time after the adjournment of the
extraordinary session Of Congress:
NEW YORK, Angus, %, S4l.
Sir: In accordance with a resolution enclosed we

cratic Republican Mass Convention, held in the

The object Of the convention was simply to ex-
press the opinions and feelings of the Democracy in
relation to the all absorbing subject of National
Bank" You will perceive sir fiom the resolutions
that in honoring John Tyler for the manly and in
dependent course which he has pursued we have mo-,
forgotten him who, in the warfare of 1892 and 1884
against the Bank. led US onward to glorious and
lasting victory. The fruits of that victory and of ycnr
services we are now enjoying. And on ibis account
the democracy OF New York, you will perceive

the veto OF John Tyler is :" ,ru rph of The great
principles you SO Dobly and ably vndica'ed in YOUR
veto message Of 1882" To you, sir, not only the

The country In every sense look their leader in the
great war which The leople waging against every
form of governmental tyranny or oppression We

language: " 1t Is not in splendid Government sup
ported by powerful monopoes aristocratical estab
hshments, that the people will find happiness or their
liberties projection; but In plain sys en- void of
all pomp protecting all and granting favors to none
dispensing us blessings like the dews of heaven I'M
