LET US ALL FIGHT THE FEDERAL ENEMY.
Tha, large majority Of the voters of the
United States are opposed to the election OF
Mr.. Clay to the Presidency in 1914, we think
Mr. Richie will not deny. That it should be
The constant labor Of every Democratic press in
The Union to unite all the voters opposed TO Mr..
Clay on the Republican candidate, whoever he
may be, we think Mr. Blair ought TO acknow-
ledge.
If Mr. Tyler should be the Republican can
didate, why will not the Globe as frankly con-
sent to support him as we would Mr.. Van Blu
rem, or any other Republican, against Mr.. Clay?
adopted, and without delay, to secure the tr-
umph of the parry in 1874.
There is no necessity for discord and dIvi-
sion in the Republican ranks. The Richmond
Enquirer must give Col. Johnson fair chance
in the Convention, and the Globe must not shut
The door against Mr.. Tyler. There is no dan
ger Of either of these gentlemen getting The
nomination. if il be not the will of majority of
the Republican party; and if it be the will of
majority, what Democratic editor will say nay
TO
No one doubts but that the one selected will
be the strongest man. Then why should the
editor Of the Enquirer or the editor of the Globe
expend all their ammunition on those whom
they say are the weakest2 If Mr.. Tyler
should prove to be as weak as the Globe asserts,
he will not only submit TO the decision Of the
People, bu, cordially support the one deemed
the strongest. Then why should the Globe po-
liricians assail him? Do they not absolutely
desire him to throw the balance into Mr. Claws
scale, when they declare that the support OF The
friends of the Administration would be refused
and +" spurnedn by Mr.. Van Buren2 We fear
Mr.. Blair is attempting TO betray MIR. Van Blu
rem with kiss, and, for certain pieces OF silver,
has agreed to make amends to his sold friend
and connexion by marriage" whom he basely
deserted after being the successful agent in ef-
fecting the coalition with Mr. Adams, which
cheated General Jackson out Of the Presidency.
A few weeks ago, we gave detailed &C
count of Mr.. Blair's agency in concentrating
y the detestable coalition between Adams and
Clay; and we are inexpressibly surprised to
learn that during our absence from the city he
has gravely stated in the Globe that the circum-
stances of the case justified his conduct, and
> that Mr.. Clay was then Democrat. And 50
Mr. Clay is now acquitted by the Globe of "bar-
gain and corruption" in the notorious tIansac-
ton which defeated General Jackson's election
-r~. ha haA rAnniuaA -rnaro votes Than any
other candidate at the polls. Mr.. Blair acquis
Mr. Clay Of the charge Of "bargain and corrup-
tion,n when it is proven that Mr.. Blair himself
was an instrument used TO effect the iniquitous
arrangement But the sub'erfuge will not an
swer. We will now convict Mr.. Blair Of base
dupcity When his participation in the dis
graceful coalition alluded to did not stand ex-
posed to public view, no one denounced Mr..
Clay more than Mr.. Blair. In proof of this as
serlion, we quote MIR. Blar's own words, which
may be found in the Extra Globe of July gath,
1896
%" ,eas the election depolring this body (te Hons,
Of Representatives. and through the influence and treaeh
~ Of Mr. Clay, connected ruth The co,rupons Of bar
gaining and bGfeing Of Offices that John Quincy adams
made President cfihe United Stairs in 1928"
Thus Mr.. Blair condemns himself. He has
not denied, he cannot deny, his agency in that
transaction. On the contrary, he has recently
attempted to vindicate his motives. 1t is need
less to conjecture what he thought of his mo-
lives in 1895, when writing the above para
graph.
But the Globe will not succeed in the at
tempt to drive the friends Of the Adminisira
ton into the support of Mr.. Clay in 1914. We
a. NJ in nd
Nous manner. We will not consent to wo k
for Mr. Blair, like slaves under the lash, that he
may pocket his thirty pieces of silver. He
knows, and Mr.. Clay knows that if the Globe
were to come out bluntly for arch Federal
ist, no Democratic support could be enlisted in
it's behalf; and pe know that it will fail in any
adroit attempt TO elect Mr. Clay, by excommu-
nicating thousands from the Democratic party,
while seeming TO support Democratic candi
date.
We desire most anxiously thai every Demo
Graf, who wishes TO see his party successful in
1874, will consider well the tendency of the
Globes course. II our suspicious be not we'll
founded, no evil can result from cautious watch
fulness but if our conjectures be true, then il
will be well to guard against the danger in time.
Ofcourse noDemocratc candidate whose claims
are professedly advocatedb by theGlobe, will justify
or sanction its attacks on the friends of the Ad-
minislralon, (now no powsrless party) when
convinced that to do so ensures his own defeat.
If Mr.. Van Buren, sustains the Globe, in such
assaults, we will know il in time to prepare for
the contingency. We repeat that the friends OF
President TYLER will not in this manner, elect
Mr.. Clay.
But, as we have said, there need be no third
narix nor any annre of The d. e. nj Of ,hl
