THE SPRINGFIELD MEETING.

The Globe endeavors to break the force Of the
first great blow from New England. Ii insinu
ates that the workngmen of the Armory formed
the meeting, and quotes an article from little
rabid paper TO prove (which article, however
makes no such intimation.
We doubt not the Independent Democrat will
deal summary with the Hampden Post-wil
correct all its malignant misrepresentation.
AS for the insults heaped by the Globe on the
New England Democracy-ca them the
transition party" and applying long string
of other disgraceful epilhets to them-we doubt
not they will be Indignantly resented Other
and larger meetings will be held. The foul
lmputations cast on the noble New England
Democracy by the Globe, will be speedily wiped
out in an emphatic manner.
The 500 Democrats of Springfield are capable
of indicating their own characters. They will
not rest quietly under the dsgraceful charges
brought against them,-simply because they
dared 10 express their sentiments as freemen.
Their brother freemen throughout New England
will respond TO their call, and we doubt not the
Globe will soon find enough to do in its ia
vorile vocation of dragging Democrats to the
stake.
The New York Tribune in long and pointless
assault on Mr.. Webster, commits the following tallr
pass:

The word "master' is ever on the tongues
of abject slaves. We know not who sent for

one having authority from US TO send for him.
and authority was absolute so far as the
management of The paper was concerned.
A friend, not holding office, Informed us that
Mr.. H. G. was in the city and could be had as
an assistant edilor-"puppet," if you please.
We told him we would consider the matter.
After consulting one or two friends on the
subject, we informed our friend who was also
II. CPS friend, that we declined the Offer Ii
is true H. G. did not confer with us on the sub

any one of our friends but the mutual friend
spoken of above.

the city-but as he takes our paper, we doubt
not he will correct any error in statement, i
there be any, which he is invited TO do.
