GOV. SHANNON "RUN OVER ROUGH
SHODp BY THE GLOBE. ~
We were not mistaken in the supposi,iou that
The Globe would pronounce the doom Of Gov.
Shannon, for being an homes, man aud daring
TO speak the uulh. The leading editorial of
yesterdays paper exhibits the blood hound chas-
ing in full cry one OF the most popular Demo
cratic Governors in the Union. Ifthis constant
warning againsl prominent Democrats is to be
the policy Of The Globe in future, as il has been
heretofore, il may we'll be asked where is The
necessity for the Wings to arm against the Re
publicans, since they are determined 10 destroy
themselves? II the Globe were 10 win converts
from among the Wings. TO supply the places Of
the refractory Democrats whom it DESTROYS, or
dives inio the ranks of lis opponents, the game
would not be such losing one but nothing Of
the sort is attempied-it was never known 10 at
tempt TO enlist recruits by words of kindness
and Cancellation. Therefore we say the Globe
clique is endeavoring to establish central Des-
polism, far more dangerous thar any other ism
named in this country, and which it is undoubt-
edy the duty Of every friend of the People TO
oppose. A few days more will tell the story
The Globe commences its bull Of excommu-
nication thus
"If we mistake not, Governor shannon was pros
trated in Ohio by the frauds Of Federalism and the
humbuggery carried on in the names Of Tippccanoo
and Tyler too" IL we mistake not, I" ~ Ter Too
paraded himself through Ohio, and joined in The che
rus which made deaf the ears and bewildercd the
Of the Democracy, while pipe-laying WA un-
derining to its overthrow. Governor Shannon was
buried under the ruin which Mr. Tyler hailed with
his hosannas. The Democracy disinterred hiul--put
him up again, expressly TO mark by such signal re-
tribution, the foul proceeding through which the tr
umph of {" Tippecanoe and Tyler too" had been com
passed. and now Governor Shannon thinks Mr.. Ty-
Ter, who put him down, "a marvellous proper mani"
and that the Democracy who restored him as Gov
ernor and who hold that Mr. Tyler should be re-
buked as President for the dsgraccfu means through
which he attained that high dignity, and the shameful
purposes to which he has Prostiluted 1t, are guilty Of
injustice"
The editor Of the Globe has forgotten that
the majority for Tippecanoe and Tyler too
IN Ohio was 49, votes-it has forgotten that
a large portion of The Democracy regarded Mr.
Tyler, and justly too, as Democrat-nay, as
good Democrat as Mr.. Van Buren--and it wiU
not know that il was by union of the friends Of
Mr.. Tyler in 1912, with the Democrats who had
opposed them in 1910, that the State wa, res
cued from the Wings When the ultra-W higs
opened their batteries on Mr.. Tyler because he
would not lay aside the Democratic garment
which he had worn in good faith in 1S40 and
put on the federal toga prepared for him by
those who deliberately designed to deceive the
People, then it was hat his Democratic frie
-. 4
buke The party leaders which had betrayed him.
Gov. Shannon, and nearly score of other De-
mocrat.c Governors, were, by their help, place
in the ascendency. And now, sihce these De-
mocratic friend, Of President Tyler, who voted
against Mr. Van Buren, in 1910, have succeeded
condition, and made it triumphant in almost
every State contest, can it be supposed for a
moment that they will permit their chief-who,
having rescued the party from destruction, is
The best entitled TO lead 1t to victory-to be
thrust aside contemporary, and absolutely
repealed" with impunity, by the party for
whose salvation he sacrificed so much? We
warn the party leaders not to be betrayed into
such an absurdi,y. They have the example of
the fate of the Wings before them--we trust
they will not next make an example themselves.
The injustice of the Wing leaders drove the
Presidents friends away from them, and they
fell: the same injustice on the part of The De
mocraiic leaders would drive Them away from
them also, and they TOO uould fail!
But even if The President and his friends
should be expelled from the parry by the Globe
clique, it would not make them the less De
mocrats. They were Democrats IN ls40-they
are Democrats now-and they will contInoe 10
be true Jeflersouian Democrats to the end The
Globe per Sc we regard as of but little impor-
lance but II boasts Of being the organ Of the
party: few days more VIII tell the story!
To the column of falsehoods and abuse which
follows the extract above, we need not reply, at
least at this time. If the party shall not adopt
what is said by the Globe, thereby refusing 10
make its abuse their own, il will not merit any
notice from US and ii il is to be approved and
endorsed, il must be done in few days.
