THE GLOBE AND MIR. VAN buren,.

The Globe is managing 10 kick up a nice little
fight in the great Democratic party OF the Union,
aud particularly with that portion Of II IN this State
attached to MIR Buchanan.
That paper, after hypocrtically pretending TO be
playing a fair but neutral game with the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency, until il discovered
that President Tyler would most likely ou-dislance
all the rest, and get into the Convention decidedly
ahead Of any other one, threw of its disguise, and
exposed the cloven foot in weak, wishey-washey
article last week, in which II comes out for the Ex-
President Why did it not do so long ago? Why
play this game of fast and loose with the Democratic
party
How will it explain away now the decetiul pre-
tensions of neutrality with which il has long been de-
ceiving the people II will soon be par with
the Union" for trcachery, infdelty, and pusillani
nifty. Will the Poop Of the United States counte-
such trckery by the great Mr. Blair who
aspires 10 be the oracle of the Democratic party of
the United States We trust the people will no
more encourage double-dealing in the Globe than in
tkat lesser satellite, the UniOn.n

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVEN-
TON

We copy to-day the able article on the sub
ject Of the National Convention, from the
Charleston Mercury, which we referred to on
Saturday. We ask for il "A calm perusal T; it
speaks for itself; and it certainly points out
clearly and truly the way to avoid all difficulties
in selecting the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. If its suggestions be adopted, the
Republican rarty will be successful in 1914,
without a doubt. If they be not adopted, the
party, in al probability, will be ruined by the
contentious of selfish and dishonest politicians.
We advocate the right Of the PEOPLE to de-
eide who shall be the Republican candidate
and we utterly repudiate all the tricks and de-
vices of caucus pot-house politicians, TO usurp
their authority.
In every Congressional District in the United
States, let the friends Of each of the candidates
for nomination run their candidate. Let there
be a Van Buren,, Cass, Buchanan, Cal
houn, Johnson and Tyler candidate in each
Congressional District and let the one receiv-
ing The highest number of votes b. the delegate
from that District TO the National Convention.
And when the Convention meets (next May
let each representative vote according TO the will
Of those who elected him. If this course shall
be pursued, the candidate will be nominated and
elected by the PEOPLE, and not by the intriguing
politicians. And is not this mode perfectly fart
Is it not just7 Can any person suggest bet
ter plant We think not.
If this mode shall be adopted there can be no
split in the party Every candidate will cheer
fully submit TO the decision Of such conven-
ton.
But we do not apprehend any opposition of
consequence to the mode suggested. The New
York Evening Post, which doubtless speaks the
sentiments Of MIR. Van Buren,, advocates the
District system and we believe all the other
candidates favor it.
WHO'S AFRAID TO RUST THE PEOPLE Surely
the Globe and Richmond Enquirer will not op-
pose the rl, elton Of Delegates to the Conven-
ton by the PEOPLE

BY opposing the nomination Of Democrats 10 affcc
under The present National Administration, the Globe
forces believe its editor either wishes for the
instatement of the Wings IN power, and the conse-
quent advancement Of Mr.. Clay's prospects, or is
laboring to bring the Government TO stand for the
want Of officers to perform ITS necessary functions
Mr.. Blair may take which horn Of the dilemma he
peases-he Is either traitor TO Democracy by labo-

traitor TO his country by struggling to stop the wheels

course buildings unrooiedand many unfinished ones
torn down, board-yards and fences swept away, YES

That she sang Tor love alone;
That she sang from out heart
Used TO play no sordid part;
That howe'er hope might rise,
Strange TO her unprosperous eyes,

Still the faith was not the fee,

Oh! the soul that never thought

All that 's mean, with one to love
Welcome, then, fair new delight,
Welcome to thy fathers sight,
Welcome to thy sisters brother,
And thu sweet strong hearted mother.
