Ii appears, therefore, that the arrogant exul-
tation of the Globe, and the more modest, but
not less firm and settled, conviction of the In
telligencsr, both rest on the same foundation--a
OF the Baltimore Convention, and the sole De-
mocratic candidate for the Presidency, in 1914
Both are equally relentless in their hostility to
Mr.. Calhoun, aud both would rejoice in any
thing that effectually and forever exlinguished
his chances for the Presidency; but the lntelli-
gencer thinks ii has the best grounds for be-
lievng tina, it will triumph, both in its personal
and party views, while the editor of the Globe
runs riot in his ecstacies at merely personal
and sordid triumph.
The exhilaraion of the Intelligencer is sup
ported nationally bya remembrance Of the fact,
that Mr.. Van Buren,, in 1910, with all the aid of
Government patronage and party drill and or
ganization, suffered a most disastrous and humil-
ating defeat; it is, therefore, not merely san
gune as TO the result of another contest with
the same adversary, shorn Of the most important
part Of the strength which he then welded, but
coolly and quietly estimates his failure in 1874
as thing put beyond all doubt. or no farther
uncertain than MIR. Van Buren's existence is.
The Globe coaxes and fatters its party with
hopes, instead of facs-and hopes, in spite of
facts. The only facts which it deems of i'm
portance are already safe in the pockets of its
publishers; they will dine well, happen what
may, and il The party should be left to make its
supper Of hopes, why, it's their own look out.
