A New Paper for the Canvass Of tE44
THE DOLLAR GLOBE

| We resume TIE Puohcatloh OF Our cheap
paper for the presidential election, cheered
! by the strongest hopes OF glorious result
Nothing is wanting to insure success to the
democratic party in the coming contest, but
| united effort in the nomination of the demo.
cratic convention at Baltimore. The federal
( marty have met with but disaster and de,
| feat wherever the democratic party have
been united, since the eyes of the nation were
| opened by the monstrous measures urged or
! by Mr.. Clay as a dictator in Congress, and
who is again presented to the nation as an ex-
ecutve dictator to the country. In no State
of the Union, except Rhode Island. has FEEDER.
slism achieved success since 1910, except
where divisions in the democratic partys6lre.
gard to their fayorite presidential caraS fes,
have paralyzed IFS efforts, and suppressed its
full suffrage at the polls 1t is alone on our
disconteuts, and divisions about favorites, that
federalism counts. Can it indulge the hope
! that now, when its monstrous visage is fully
unmarked, the true hearted, intelligent, reso.
lutte people of this country, who have always
hated tyranny in every form, will embrace
lit? Is national bark, the GROWING object
of all Mr.. Clay's designs, just at the moment
when the dissolution of the last oppressor of
this sort has made manifest its corruption. its
abominable abuses, its attempt to suppress
free suffrage, its success in pollulng the L.
gisation of the country, State and national,
its interference with the elections, and utter
prostitution, through its means, OF the funda.
mental support of free institutions,--is such
an incorporated government now to meet the
favor of such a peoplel Is national debt,
TO bolster up such bank and support the
government here in defiance of the popular
will, as it does in England, already originated
> by Mr.. Clay during his short reign in the
coon-skin Congress, calculated to give him
the suffrages of the natiou for the presiden.
cy? Is the dishonest, fraudulent, and exhor-
bitant tariff of Mr.. Clay's Congress, levying
taxes upon the people for the neceasaries of
life, 100 per cent. beyond the revenue duty,
for the benefit of the overgrown capitalists,
likely to promote his further political ad-
vancement? Is his distribution law, wasting
the proceeds ofthe public domain, provided
by our revolutionary fathers as sacred fund
for the defence of our republic, and gradual.
ly to be extended as homes for actual settlers,
as our population expands, after being con.
summed by the people, suddenly to increase
the popularity ofthe author of the nefarious
scheme, which he himself denounced in the
earlier and better days of his petit al careerl
Is his bankrupt act, violating the obligation
of contracts, stripping one man of his proper.
Y ty, to give it to another, who had betrayed his
i confdence-thus extinguishng the very idea
: of justice in the popular mind, and making
government itself the pander to every species
i of niquity, perjury, and fraud-llkely to pro.
n mote his success? In a word, what is there
l. in all Mr.. Cly's principles and measures, dc.
s, veloped in long course of artful manage.
I, ment which has at every step fallen under
u the ban Of the people, to recommend him 10
It a station which will enable him to bring up
= on their devoted heads visitation Of all his
d accursed measures at once? There is not one
7. great feature in his policy that is not stamped
y indelibly with aristocracy. War upon the
many for the benefit of the few, extoEtion
from the poor for the advantage of the rich,
n, oppression of the weak to give power to the
T. strong, the most striking characteristics
t, of MIR. Glay's policy. He looks 20 the pow.
s. erful. the rich, the artful associates of the
a. non-producmg classes with ~his interests, to
y overwhelm, by concerted efforts, the great
e masses Of the country, and give him the pow
!, er to make them spoil. Seduction, deusion,
+ persuasion, mixed with overbearing authority,
a will all be employed to make those of our
l. countrymen who look only to government for
l. protection, consign it to the hands of man
10 who will make it what government has al
be ways been elsewhere-the means of the sub
iugation Of the honest multitude to the woke
j., Of the artful and interested few. We do not
- believe that the independent and intelligent
- spirit of this country is yet prepared for such
;. a change. And SO believing, we look to the
result of the November election as another
:, great triumph Of the cause of democracy in
in this country. To promote this result, we
revive the publication of our cheap periodi-
v cal paper. And to increase its efficacy, we
l. propose to publish it twice instead of ono ca
D. week, at the same price as formerly. We
II propose, too, TO add to its strength by indu-
tEa oh md nj e
e our country to contribute to its columns -
s Our whole heart and mind, from the first hour
T. of lis appearance, shall be devoted to give it
l. interest and usefulness; and, with Gods bless
i ing, we trust it will render some service to
our country.

it embraces, and, as II will have An index for
easy reference, will make volume worthy
of preservation
