TUESDAY, MORNING, DEC. 10, ls4a.

Such is the tex, 1sogn which the Globe of the
18th instant breaches = doleful hosQiIg on the
danger 81 the Democratic 5.qtss beiag bought b.
the u.oeey Of English capitalists. a!r, Abbott
Lawreace, Of B5stoa, who recently visited Eng
land foi Ills heai,h ard business, eguyes dis
tine, in tie colulqns qf the Gleha, as the bug
bear to f4ghien the "unterriiea pemoeracy,'
The Globe pretsaas 10 see il lis visit, that" he
has been enabled to epahody all the stock k-iobbing
clans Of England in the enterprise OF achieving
the assumption Of the State debts, and the mort
gage Of the national domain for their payment,
By the conquest Of the Government itself in the
merit Presidential election"
Now this is an awful discovery; its timely
disclosure must lay the People Of the United
States under renewed obligations to the editors
of the Globe. Not only are these English stock
jobbers going to pay off the State debts which
are owing to them, by mortgaging the public
lands, TO themselves no doubt; but they are de-
termined to conquer the Government itself in the
merit Presidential election. Now the only thing
for which any reasonably polite man can fault
the Globe, is for not telling ho,c this is to be
dones Are they about to ship over unnumbered
cargoes of English and Irish emigrants to carry
the election for the Wings? Or are they max
ing contracts to import enough Germans to do
this Or do they desire to invest still more of
their money in America, and prefer making their
future investments in voting stock, instead of
State stocks
IF this last is the meaning Of the Globe, as
seems to be intimated, who are to be bought up?
Surely not the Wings; for, according to that
veracious paper, they 60 for the interests of the
foreign stockholders without being paid for it.
It must be then, by buying up the Democracy
that they design TO conquer the Government.
For our part, we do not pretend to know any
thing about this English interference" with the
Democracy. But as the Globe is the official pa
per of that party, and claims to know all about
the party, it certainly ought to know whether
the Democracy are Of the right material TO be
bought up. 1t is, or feigns to be, in awful ap-
prehension of such catastrophe. What sad
set Of marketable commodities the members Of
the Democracy must be, to be always ready to
sell out TO the highest bidder Yet such they are,
if we can believe the reasoning Of the Globe.
And who are to be the agents Of these stock
jobbers, to purchase up the unpurchasable De-
mocracy 2" Is it to be distinguished Democrat
in whom they have confidence? By no means.
No less distinguished Wings than Abbott Law
renee and John Davis, Of Massachusetts, are to
be the agents to drive the trade with them.
Men whom the Globe and its kindred prints have
been teaching their party, for years, were the
direst foes of Democracy and liberty, are to take
this foreign gold and buy up the Democratic
"laborers" on public works, just as butcher
would go to a farmer TO buy up sheep and bull
locks for market. If we can credit the Globe,
such is the complimentary manner in which il
estimates large portion of the Democracy.
But seriously. v hat evidence does the Globe
produce for this oft-repeated charge of g English
interference Not one particle. On their part,
it is matter Of suspicion and assumption
merely. Tier true object is to withdraw the
attention Of their readers from the designs and
ends Of themselves, aud the political leaders with
which lhey arc associated. 81 raising The cry
against foreigners Of "stop thief! stop ,hiefr

object, they do not address the reason Of the in

their engagements, and indirectly if not directly,
aided them in selling their stocks abroad After
these States had obtained the money, and had
