THE GLOBE, TEXAS, sc.

out the manner in which the Globe caused the de-
feat Of the Democratic party in lS40 and gave the
reasons going TO prove that similar fate will beisl
the same party in the approaching contest in the
event of that paper being tolerated in the position,
which it is now attempting TO assume, that OF being
the chief central organ. Like causes produce like
effects. Has the Globe abated any of lis anmosity
towards that portion Of the old Democratic party
which 1t, by its ylrulence and abuse caused TO unite
their votes with those of the opposite party, or else
TO look on al the election, with feelings of indiller
enee, as to the RESULT Not in the least The same
yndietiye spirit influences that paper now that nHu-
enced Al at the former period No change-no i'm
proyemen has taken place.
The hostility Of the Globe and the clique connect
ed with it, not only continues without mitigation
but rs augmen,ing in its bitterness and invective
against Mr. Tyler and his friends In the indulgence
OF these feelings the Globe as accomplished the di-
vision OF the Democratic party on the all-absorbng
topic oil the day,and on which the great issue must inc
ynably be made in many parts of the Union, at the
coming Presidential eleclon-we mean the annexa-
ton of Texas.
The Globe was unqualified in the praise and com
mendatons which it lavished on Mr.. Tyler mme-
'NNoN' VI "A
tional Bank, passed by a Wing Congress 1t viewed
these acts of bis declarations ofndependence
Ii continued to bestow its audatons on these acts
oil Mr.. Tyler until IL discovered it was lending its
aid to establish popularity with the People for
HIM, that might endanger the prospects of its own
and It's leading orace's candidate for the Presidency
The course of the Globe changed as did that of some
OF their immediate and future aspirants to the Presj
dency. Hostility was substituted for friendship
vtuperation for praise
Mr. Tyler has recently been charged, on the floor
oil the Senate, with seeking to plunge the country
INTO war Tor the purpose of, promoting selfish and
ambitious ends. The fact is found in the speech of
MIR. Benton, published in the Globe, from which we
quote. After asserting that the ratification of the
Texas treaty would be war with Mexico, Mr. Benton
says: T" Mr. Tyler wants to be President, and differ
ent from the perfumed fop in Shakespeare, to whom
the smell of gunpowder was offensive he not only
wants to smell that compound, but also to smell of it,
He wants an odor of the uiilanous compound upon
him. He has become infected with the modern no.
ton that gunpowder popularity is the passport the
Presidency; and he wants that passport. He wants
to play Jackson; but let him have care. From the
sublime to the ridiculous there is but step; and in
heroic limitations, there is middle ground The
hero missed, the harlequin appears and Kisses salute
the ears which were itching for applause"
We venture TO say that there cannot be found in
the most rabid and ultra Wing paper, published in
this country, paragraph more deeply imbued with
malice af feeling against Mr. Tyler and couched in
language The OBJECT Of which is 10 cast obloouy ON
his name, anc ridieule him, and thereby weaken his
ability TO conduct, If not utterly TO overthrow his
administration Of the Government, than the quota.
ton we have made from the speech of Mr., Benton.
''He wants to play Jackson" is tauntingly uttered
by Mr.. Benon. Mr.. Tyler not thus reproached
by any member of the Democratic party when he re-
turned to Congress the bills chartering National
Bank, With his vetoes accompanying them By the
Wing party, he might have been. But did Mr. Ty-
Ter on those occasions play Jackson, or did he play
more than Jackson General Jackson vetoed the
Bank charter in 1899. He was then backed by
great, powerful and victorious party. Many of his
warmest personal friends endeavored to dssuade him
from venturing the measure, under the apprehen-
sion that he would not be sustained by the People
He adopted the measure, and the People sustained him
in it, while some of the prominent politicians of the
party of that day abandoned him and joined with
the adversary.
How has II been with Mr.. Tyler with his Bank
Vetoesi Unlike General Jackson, he. opposed the
wishes and disappointed the hopes of the party that
had elected him He arrested and defeated their
first and most favorite measure in his determination
to stand by the Constitution of the country, which he
had taken solemn oath to support. The maedic
tons of the leaders Of that party unsparjDgly
poured out against him. lie was without party
lie was literally standing alone. Some of the lead
ers of the opposite party it is true, shouted paans to
his praise. But these, like the praise of the Globe
were ephemeral They were soon changed into in
discriminate opposition and condemnation Of his acts
and measures from the same quarters The People
came 10 the rescue. They sustained Mr.. Tyler
hey sustain him still in spite Of the efforts of aspir
ing political demagogues to break him down. They
will continue 10 support him, knowing him to be
honest, from the. evidences they have had Of
his honesty and dsineres,ed patriotism which they
have often had manifested in his acts. Without the
confidence and support of the People, Mr. Tyler mus,
long since have ceased to he able to administer the
affairs Of the Government But for that the effort
of the Wings and the opposition of some ofthe aspi-
rants Of the Democratic party, aided by the Globe,
would have prostroted the Gov, rnment and stopped
the motion of its wheels.
The People are discerning and capable of
discriminating. They are honest in their judgment
and resolue in their purpose They will stand by
faithful public servant, they have stood by John
Tyler Those who abuse the confidence once repos
ed in them, no matter how hsh it may have reached,
will be certain to meet the and reprobaton Of
the People, whom they attempt to mslead and be
tray, in their indulgence of anmosites against others
and in the advancement of their own aspirations
We shall continue the subject
