The Globe perpeuaIes the following bare
faced assertions:
We have not the first legislative assembsge
cauc US meeting, convention of acknow lodged De-
mocrats anywhere, which, in recapiuatinx the can
didates Of tho party, admit Mr.. Tyler 10 be Of
them. The few Democrats newspapers Few not
one in hundred snstains the Globes policy of
assaulting the President,l which have attempted
10 make Mr. Tyler Tree 10 claim the honofs and
trust oil The conventions nomination, have not, far
as we have seen, been able to obtain for him the
countenance of any popular or delegated assembly
OF unquestionable Demo rats which has yet spoken.
And do not believe that under public call, any
well-attended meeting OF The party any section Of
the Union, could be induced to prefer Mr.. Tyler's
claim as a Democratic candidate, and propose him
To the consideration Of the national convention. Ii
we are not mistaken in thisit tue OF the party
will not recognise Mr.. Tyler as Democratic candl
date, or his Administration as a Dem cratic Admin
istraton-f the party refuse TO take itself respon-
sioiiiy by endorsing hs prime piles, hi, measures,
his appointments II Is not IN the power OF a few De-
mocratic journals to saddle the party with him.
The Globe makes the above apparently So
Tenn declarations, when in possession of facts
which prove the reverse of what is asserted
We believe there have been only t,po regular
Van Buren, meetings of any size held in the
urlled States since his defeat 10 1910. One
was IN PhliadelI ha, numbering 70O The other
IN Cincinnati, numbering about the same. On
he 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 paIuy ''fraudsn and
forgeries occasionally perpe!rated by his enc
mics, and paraded afterwards in the columns Of
the Globe But we do not see how these das.
lardly lmposillons practiced on the Presiden,
can inJure him or benefit the perpetrators They
may afford amusement for the editor OF the
Globe, but they are not creditable To the charac-
ter OF the country 1t might be gratifying to
The Presidents enemies to see him mortified by
The ingenuity of reckless swinder-but we
fancy the guilt would rather attach TO the pro.
fiIsate adept and his aiders and abettors than
TO the President. We are led to these r.Aec.
lions by seeing in The Globe an account of a
I" Tyler meeting" said 10 have been held by one
man, detailed with great gusto.
But in reference 10 the Globes sneers and
boasts We dare the Globe, and the CLIQUE for
which 1t 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 10 say who shall be the
next Candidate. II they viii only grant the
People the privilege of saying who shall BIZ the
candidate of the party, we promise 10 labor all
in our power to accomplish their will We
grant that the Globe can beat us making Presi
dents by nlachinery-but we deny that the
President has fewer friends among the People
than lis favorite, whoever he may be.
We invite a fair trial, at all events. Let the
Delegates TO the Republican Convention be
chosen by the People, in Districts let them
vote per cdpitd-and then it will be seen who
is the strongest, and who the weakest.
