The Globe makes the above apparently So
Tenn declarations, when in possession oil iac's
which prove the reverse OF what is asserted.
We believe there have been only tioo regular

United States since his defeat in lSi0 One
was in PhadelI ha, numbering 700; the other
in Cincinnati, numbering about the same On
The other hand there have been forty meetings
friendly to Mr. Tyler within twelve months,
at one Of which there were 1000 persons. IL
is true there have been pally frauds" and
iorgeres occasionally perpe!rated by his enc
mics, and paraded afterwards in the columns OF
the Globe. But we do not see how these das-
tardly impositions practced on the President
can njure him or benefit the perpetrators. They
may afford amusement for the editor OF the
Globe, but they are not creditable IN the charac-
ter of the country. 1t might be gratifying TO
The Presidents enemies to see him mortified by
the ingenuity of reckless swindler-but we
fancy the guilt would rather attach to the pro-
to the President. We are led TO these rehec.
lions by seeing in the Globe an account Of a
.Tyler meeting" said 10 have been held by one
man, detailed with great gusto.
But in reference TO the Globes sneers and
boasts We dare the Globe, and the clique for
which it speaks, TO make fair trial Of Mr.. Ty-
ler's strength among the People, any time after
the meeting of Congress. We dare them to
permit the PEOPLE TO say who shall be the
next Candidate. If they vii only grant the
People the privilege Of saying who shall be the
candidate OF the party, we promise 10 labor all
in our power to accomplish their will. We
giant that the Globe can beat us making Presi
dents by machinery-but we deny that the
President has fewer friends amoop the People
than its favorte, whoever he may be.
We invite fair trial, at all events Let the
Delegates TO the Republican Convention be
chosen by the People, in Districts let them
vote per cdpita-and then it will be seen who
is the strongest and who the ireakest
