THE GLOBES OUTRAGE UPON THE
PEOPLEi

THE GLOBES OUTRAGE UPON THE
PEOPLE!
The Globe attempts to show that Mr.. Webster
went to England in 1910 for the purpose of rais-
ing money to bride the people with. In proof OF
this grave charge, the Globe adduces the fact that
hundreds of thousands Of people assembled to-
gether at the Wing Mass Conventions, and alleges
that they could not have paid their own expenses:
ergo they must have been paid with British gold
obtained by Mr. Webster. Such is the logic Of
the Globe in proof of one Of the gravest offences
in the catalogue of crimes, if it be true, but il
false, as every body knows it to be, its propaga
ton should send its author to the plory. No
man pretending to have the least regard for truth
or honor would make such charge upon mere
suspicion, or, indeed, without the most ndubitable
proof. And no better evidence could be furnish
ed Of depraved heart, STEPPED in malice, lies,
and all uncharitableness, than the indulgence,
much more the utterance of such suspicious. A
mind accustomed to look, and yearn for such re-
wards of mercenary service, very nature y sus-
poets all others of equal depravity; and mind
not accustomed to feed upon such hopes would
never suspect others. The editor of the Globe,
therefore, only exposes the blackness of his own.
heart in charging, without shadow Of foundation,
bribery upon Mr.. Webster and the Wings. The
diseased fancy of this pampered minion of cor
rupt party, stops not at charging bribery upon po-
ticians. but with unparalleled atrocty dares to
SANDER the aggregate masses of the people, who
presumed to assemble for the purpose of discussing
and scanning the corrupt malpractices of Van
Buren's Administration. We present the reader
with an extract from the Globe which was never
surpassed in the whole history of deliberate,
wicked, and atrocious lying. A calumny upon
the sovereign people Reader, think of it The
Washington Globe, edited by man who has
got rich out of the peoples treasury, slandering
that very people whom he has fleeced for years !!
From the Globe.
On Mr.. Webster's return to the United States
having made up his mind in England to give
up his own pretensions in favor OF Gen. Harrison
he reversed the intentions of the Massachu-
sets delegation to the Harrisburg Convention,
and by the means of some influence, then not
comprehended, over other delegations carried the
vote of the Convention for Harrison over Clay,
to the surprise of all parties in the country. Then
Immediately followed the most profuse and extra
ordinary electioneering outlay ever witnessed in
this or any other country. Hundreds of thou
sands of men were found marching from State to
State, and in masses, for many hundred miles
as, for instance, at the great Baltimore and Bun
ker Hill convocations-and many hundreds OF
them, incapable of paying their own expenses,
were furnished by an invisible hand drawing from
a secret service fund.
SANDER which is intended to stain the good
name of all who opposed and overthrow the cor
rupt Treasury robbing Administration of Martin
Van Buren,, can deserve no reply. We simply
publish it in order that it's author may be visited
with the indignant Kisses of nation. All men
who would be thought honorable, truthful, and
just, without distinction of party, must detest and
loathe this vile caumny and its author
The similar allegation which the Globe makes
against COL Webb OF the Courier and Enquirer,
is equally without shadow of foundation. Col.
Webb has been recently TO England, and as he
has not thought proper 10 communicate his object
in making the visit to the editor of the Globe,
that paper, as matter of course, infers that he
went out at the suggestion of Mr.. Clay for the
purpose of obtaining British gold to distribute
among the people No fact or reason beyond
this is alleged in proof of that caumny-the editor
merely asking what else could Webb have gone to
Europe for !? To say that man capable of max
ing such charges without particle of proof to
sustain them, is destitute of truth and honor, is
thing so obvious that we should be thought trite
10 uttering it.
The secret is, that the Globe wishes to avert
from lis party the ignominy which must neces.
sarily orertake it in consequence of the known
fact that gold Is raised in England for the purpose
Of disseminating the free trade sentiments of Mr.
Polk in this country. We adduced yesterday
from the London Times, paper warmly in favor
Of sboIisbing our tariff, statement that immense
