and will afford matter for the worthy gentlemen OF

The Bostoa Post says !:

I5-To DAY we have detected the Globe IN an
infamous attempt to impose upon It's readers the
voice of two dozen insignificant persons as the
"voioE OF THE PEOPLE" We request our sub
scribers and correspondents TO favor us with de-
scriptions of all such meetings, where any oil
the Globes abuse of the President is in'ra-
duos i.
Al Springfield (Mass.) FIVE HUNDREp-a ma
jority Of the volers-met together, denounced
the Globe, and approved the course of the Presl-
dent. The Globe says they were all o1ce-hold-
ers and office-seekers! And yet that print he
raids forth the doings Of twenty four idIers as
the voice of The People. Only twenly-eight
met at Roxbury where there 600 voters !!
We doubt not the Globe clique have iurnis he'd
blank denunciatory resolutions for other sections.
Ii So we ask our friends TO expose the base i'm
position.
We fancy the Globes "Voice Of the People,
will soon sink into mere echo.
