SHAMEFUL FABRICATIONS OF THE
GLOBE

SHAMEFUL FABRICATIONS OF THE
GLOBE.
The Globe has latterly taken much pains to
identify the Native American party with the
Wings, and thereby throw the odium of the Phi
ladelphia riots upon the party which has always
distinguished itself for its regard to law and order
We have denounced this infamous charge of the
Globe as calumny upon the Wing party, and
have shown heretofore, by publishing the names
of the leaders of the Native American party, that
those leaders were mainly Locofocos. The Globe,
finding it impossible to sustain with facts the
falsehood it had propagated, acknowledged that
the actors in the riots were Locofoco, but never
theless, alleged that it was Wing movement, and
boldly asserted that the Native Americans were
Wings, that the party was projected by Wings
and that it was scheme Of the Wings to disfran.
chise foreigners and to deprive them of the rights
which belong to them as citizens. The Globe
in equal contempt for truth, has asserted that
other design of the Wings, in getting up the
Native American party, was to deprive Catholics
whether native or foreign, Of their constitutional
rights, and to wage crusade against them
These infamous calumnes, circulated by Blair
and Kendall, for which they deserve the pllory,
are SO palpably false, that honest, fair-minded
man would either believe or repeat them. But
we have demonstrative eyidence-the evidence of
Blair himself-that the Native American party
was started by and composed of Locofocos The
indefatigable Col. Webb, of the New York Cou-
rier and Enquirer, hae hunted up, in the columns
of the Globe of last year, the following editorial
paragraphs, which claim the Native Americans
as Locofocos What will respectable gentlemen,
of any party, think of the G ODE, after being con-
victed of such falsehood! But it is nothing new
or uncommon for the Globe to fabrcate calum-
MES, or to be detected in them and yet the party
sustain and circulate it. 1t is true that we have
the testimony of the Madsonian that the Globe
is "despised" by respectable Locofocos-that
they place no confidence in it, and turn away from
it in disgust; and yet it is the organ of the party
aud widely circulated in every quarter of the
country with its freight of falsehood.
But to the case in point: Here is the irrifragi-
BILE evidence-the confession, or, rather, the boast
of the Globe-that the Native American party
was started by and composed of Locofocos
The Globe, of Nov. 10, lS43, in the course of
some editorial comments on the result of the then
late election in the city of New York, said
''The great split in the party, occasoned by the
offence taken by portion of it at the conduct of
the Democratic City Council which was charged
with giving more than due share of the offices
to naturalized citizens, have not come up to the
calculations of it's authors. The Native Repub-
mart los tUa cd hv ho of
between 5000 and 5000 votes from the regular
ticket to one of their own choosing, lost to the
Democracy two of its strongest wards, and the Sc
cession lost the Democrats the Sheriff and some
Assemblymen, and had well nigh defeated the
whole ticket"
Here the veracious MIR. Blair boasts, not six
months before the occurrence of the Philadelphia
riots, that the Native American party were Loco
focos, and that it was altogether Locofoco move
But to make the assurance douby sure" of his
guilt and falsehood, we subjoin another extract.
The Intelligencer ntimated that perhaps num-
Der of Wings had co-operated with the Native
Americans in the elections of last autumn. Hear
what the Globe says in answer to the Intelli-
gencer:
From the Globe of November 49, l843l
lhiS statement OF the NatiODal lntelllgencer of
this morning, is directly in the teeth of the truth,
as admitted by the journals of it's own party in
New York; Is in contradiction of the notorious
TACT, that the wards in which the Native Repub-
ncan ticket obtained majorites, and threw the
democracy IN minority, have, on all occasions,
proved 10 be among the strongest Democratic
waros IN New York; and is in conflict with the
circumstances which are known to have given
bIith TO tins schlsm in the Democracy, viz: dis
ss..s'aonon WIN IN portion Of it to the employ
cratic City Councils. The purport Of tho N.,iao
Republicans was TO push other Democrats. favor
able to their views, against those whom thew ar
cused OF disappointing them. Whiggery roted
ats oDn ticket.''
This is, certainly an all-suficent exculpatop
OF the Wings from the charge of having originated
