THE GLOBE HAS BETRAYED THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY-IT NOW SEEKS IT'S De
STRUCTiON


STRUCTiON.
II is doubtless remembered by our readers that
at The list Presidential election, the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania was defeated by only one
or TWO hundred votes. Hence it must be ad-
mltled, by every man Of reason, that if any por-
ton OF the Democracy of that Safe should be
"run over rough shod' by the Globe, or any
other misunderstanding animal, another defeat of
the Democracy would be the inevitable result
knowing this fact, and resolving TO embrace
every opportunity TO conciliale " hig support in
Congress 10 secure The printing, the Globe,
some few months since, seized upon Gov. PoR-
TER and dragged him to The stake" Ii seized
upon him because, as it is alleged, at the re-
quest Of friend, he handed 10 a certain editor
COMMUNICATION defending the Presiden,
against The abusive charges of the Clay prints
The communication was not written by the
Governor; ii was merely handed by him 10 the
editor, at The request of the writer, who was The
Governors fliend But that was enough il
gave The Globe pretext TO make terrible ex-
ample for the benefit of all other Democrats
who might otherwise be induced to speak in
1u>uhcauon OF the Bank veto. 1t mattered not
how much, and how extravaeanily, at another
time, the Globe itself had lauded the President
Tor nj, rescue OF the party from ruin: it was
sufficient that it had ceased its own praise and
Int,Idlcted ii in others. The Globes fiat had
gone furth--the assaults Of all true and faithful
Democrats must henceforth cease against the
common enemy, and be directed solely against
the man who had put down the monster Bank,
and put up the Democratic party.
Well, the Governor and his friends were. de-
nouhced, and formally accommodated. not
wthstandlng they had never (and have notyeO
declared their preference for any Presidential
candidate, though we are told all, or nearly all
OF them, were friendly to Mr. Van Buren,. And
by the same rule we could excommunicate from
the Democratic Church ma ofity of The Demo
cratic leaders In the last Congress- for there was
not week in which we did not receive, through
their hands, communications precisely similar
IN their nature 10 the one handed by Gov Por-
Ter 10 the abject serf Of the Globe. Such com
munlcatons were not only handed US by distin-
guIshed Senators and members Of The House,
but they frequently wrote Us triumphant vindl-
cations of the Presidents acts, in reply 10 the
false charges of the Clay Wings. This they
did without advocating his claims Tor the Pres-
dency, but for the purpose Of weakening Mr..
Clay. Some ofxssnn, and one in particular to
whom the Globe would crouch like spaniel,
did then, and does yet, as was, and is,
notoriouslg known, prefer Mr.. Van Buren,
We thanked him for his aid in combat
ting the Federal enemy-we would have
thanked him more if he advocated Mr.. Ty-
ler's claims but still we thanked him, and
the thought never once occurred TO u.s. and we
doubt whether it did TO him, that he became LA
bic 10 the charge of having attempted 10 trans
fer The Democracy of bis great State 10 the Ad-
mlnlsIraion." No doubt he has often smiled al
the shallow pretence Of the Globe for "riding
over" Governor Porter and as often enter
tanned painful apprehension Of the CONSEQUENT
ces OF such base act. His worst apprehen
sions have, we fear, been realzed for the per-
sonal friends aud connexions Of the Governor
could not be spared, without causing the S a,e
10 "ia'l into the hands of ultra Federalism
But the Globe was not content to secure the
overthrow of the Democratic party in Pennsyl-
wanna by living away the friends Of Governor
Porter and to make assurance douby sure, on
the ere OF the recent election, it contained a
most extravdgant assault on the Tyler and
Porter administrations" in the true Wing STYLE.
and eXhoued the faithful, by indirecio even to
defeat Irregular nominations" where the can
dilales were tlnctured with "Tyersm" or
"Pouerism"
In "he stduncheSt Democratic district in
the Sidten-lhe FiGst-Mr McCuLLY was nomi-
mated in the regular Democratic Convention by
an overwhelming majority Of the delegates.
Mr. McCuIly is as "staunch" Democrat as
lives; but he was rational and honest, and
would not denounce The President for vetoing
the Bank bill This gave offence TO the GLOBE
but when II was a~certalned that the Tyler and
Porter men intended to support him, the Globe
resolved on hi destruction and melted by its
course, all The collar men it could find in the dis
,rict to vote against the "regular nomination"
Numbers old so: the Globe Of yesterday, 10 it,
leadin2 editorial, says Of them that
To make sure Of The defeat Of Mr. MeCuHy [rhe
Globe Democratl rO'ed tor his Federal opponent"
Thus the f deral Clay wing candidate (Mr
Morris) was elected by the Globe Democrats
because the Democratic friends Of President
Tyler voted for the regularly nominated Demo
cra'ic candidate
To what extent the same game has operated
throughout The State, we have yet to ascertain
or one thing we are resolved upon we will in
form our Democratic friends of the first district
who Mr. Morris votes for when the printer is
elected
This conduct Of The Globe is not original as
the following statement will show:
