STATE RIGHTS PARTY-THE GLOBE.

STATE RIGHTS PARTY-THE GLOBE
The numerous body Of Stale rights men,
who left Mr.. Van Buren,, in 1910, TO Join Mr..
Tyler, one of the acknowledged leaders Of that
party, decided that contest. They were the
jusfe miieu between the two extremes held
the balance of power: and when they left their
neutral position TO turn the scales Of victory in
favor Of the Wings, they sacrificed none of Their
views or principles. They thought, whether
enormously or not, that, during the adminsta

ren's reelection.
we will not undertake TO decide whether
such fears were well grounded or not-nor
whether. even now, there is time TO remove
them. IL is sufficient for our purposes, at pre-
sent, TO assert that The State rights party is as
strong as erer-and, as a corollary. that no
Democratic candidate can be elected President
without their assistance.
This truth is SO evident that il has been i'm
pressed, we are told, by one of the most dlstin-
gulshed aspirans, upon his friends. The hon
est portion of The Wing party, who decided The
campaign OF lS4O, he thinks available TO his
cause because, whether styled Wing or Demo
cra, their sympathies and their hopes are alike
directed 10 the support of the "good old cause"
of Stale rights.
Most Of them, perhaps all, were seceders
from the party in power between the years of
"a and 40. Their principles, however, were
always avowedly Democratic; nor did they
throw of Democratic vestments when, in 1886.
they flung to the breeze the banner Of White.
stainless and without reproach, as was their
good old s,andard-bearer nor in 1910, when
they rallied again, with rs undaunted hearts and
better fortunes, under one Of The same leaders
they followed four years before.
They were called " Wings" equally BY their
new and late allies they, however earnestly
deprecated the name; they were Republicans
during the campaigns Of Crawford and Jackson.
and were equally Republicans in SO and 40
they had suffered defea, as such, and as such
were prepared for victory.
This compact and well disciplined force, we
repeat, will again decide the contest. They adj
here TO their colors and, whether for victory or
discontinue, are moved with one mind and pur
sue but one course. Formidable, from numbers
IN the South; respectable, by position in the
Middle and Western States in talent. intelli-
gence, and consequent influence, they are pow
crful at The North and in the Eastern Statcs
Not depressed by defeat, they suffer no Temporal
ny repuse to battle their plans, but sileotlv ar
range the necessary measures for success with
confident anticipation of lis approach.
II has been Il lll-concealed wish Of tho o,,,,,
Of Mr. Van Buren, in this city 10 denounce these
men. Apprebeosive, perhaps, that they cannot
be conclliated into support ofhis views the editor
of this paper may hope to diminish their strenotb
/ by affecting TO despise it or 10 intimdare these
truly un'erri6ed Democrats by the threat Of ex.
communication. The same affected conreno,
was ayisbed upon them in Is39-'iO: il ininred
only the man or men who expressed il. Intim,.
dation, too, was attempted-apd against indiyi.
duals who dared everything for the party bur ,be
sacrifice Of their own self-esleem; and the mo.
mace was miserably abortive.
We have never expressed an upkind FEELING
towards Mr.. Van Buren,: we entertain non.
such. His merits as a statesman and poIi,iciap
we have endorsed to the full erten, of their va
