We are always glad to speak, when we can,
through an organ Of our opponents, and therefore
when they utter truths, which, spoken by US
would be sat down as Federal lies" by that
courteous and decorous paper the Globe, as well
as other mouthpieces Of Mr.. Van Buren, we
shall always endeavor to avail ourselves of them,
and give them to our readers in their own Ian
guage.


The following extract Of long article in the
Mobile (Ala.) Tribune, Calhoun paper, speaks
truth in plain terms in reference 10 the defeat Of
Mr.. Van Buren in 1910. The editor says:


=" To US there has never been particle of mys-
terry in the Democratic overthrow of 1910. The
causes which led to it are legbly written in the
history Of the times. The same circumstances
which rendered Mr. Van Buren, unpopular made
General Harrison popular. Men were thorough
ly impressed with the belief that Mr.. Van Buren,
thought more Of his party than Of the country,
and the Infamous maxim proclaimed by some Of
his friends TO the pictors belong the spoils'-
gave strong countenance to the suspicion. The
appeals made in his support were made rather to
parlisans than to the people, and the government
itself had been SO completely dressed in the liv-
cry OF party, that men began TO look upon the
President in no other light than as a mere party
leader, heading an army bent upon pluuder, He
became associated with an odious conception of
government Whether he or the people who
elected him from Office were TO blame for this is
a question about which men will always differ ;
but few we imagine, who were parties 10 the
ejectment, will acknowledge, in another election,
that they sinned or went asrayi That Mr.. Van
Buren was well and faithfully sustained by his
party, is beyond all question For ordinary occa-
sions that support would have been efficient, and
have given him, al least, respectable evoe; but he
had none Of that hold upon popular Affection
which, in seasons Of profound excitemel,is re-
qured To sustain public man against The assaults
of his enemies."
