The Whig Standard

ABOMINABLE FALSEHOODS.

As the evidences of the total rout of the Locofoco party, by the triumphant election of Henry Clay to the Presidency, come stronger and stronger upon the understanding of the editor of the Globe, and tell him in unmistakable language that he and his fiscal partner have lost the ten thousand dollars, they have so foolishly bet on the result, that mendacious falsifier redoubles his energy in studding his columns all over with lies of the most abominable character. Take the Globe of last Saturday evening, for example.

Speaking of the public assemblages of the two parties, the editor says:

"None can charge on the Democratic leaders the employment of the means used by federalism to draw together and agitate the masses. The log cabins, or Clay club houses, erected as drinking rendezvous--as places of debauch and gambling--as the scenes of mummery and coon tricks and displays, attracting idle curiosity--are not heard of among the Democracy. On the side of the Democracy there is no secret service money contributed by banks and manufacturing monopolies, by foreign fundholders, investing a per centum of their stocks in electioneering, hoping to compass an immense speculation by a federal assumption of the State debts, and by a corrupt government interested to limit the growth of the Union, and preferring to try the purse before it resorts to the sword. This is the source of the organization of federalism, and its vast electioneering outlay."

Now, here are falsehoods, direct and indirect, of the most atrocious nature. The utterer of them knows them to be such, and cannot produce a particle of proof to sustain what he asserts. In fact, his eagerness to lie against the Whigs throws him occasionally off his guard, and makes him contradict his own assertions. In this very article, from which we quote, and as if in reply to his assertion that his party make use of no such means as the Whigs employ "to draw together and agitate the masses," he adopts, with commendation, a description by the Philadelphia Ledger, of a mass Locofoco meeting held last week in a county adjoining Philadelphia, and which says:

"Music and song singing, as the various processions passed through the streets, seemed for the time to have put a stop to all business. That those residing in less excited districts may form some idea of the doings of the day, an individual who counted one of the processions from a county district stated that there were two hundred and ninety-two carriages, between forty and fifty of which were four, six, and eight horse teams, almost all of them containing one, and many of them five or six hickory poles, from which were suspended various flags, banners, and mottoes. We noticed one team of twelve horses, and another on which was a burning lime-kiln. The wagons of the several processions were filled, and the shelvings of some of the teams were corded up with human beings as heavily and almost as compactly as the farmer ever stowed them with sheaves of wheat."

So much for the Globe's falsehoods of Saturday evening last, a part of which, as we have shown, he has himself (though unintentionally, of course!) contradicted. We shall have an eye upon the editor in future, and observe the effect the anticipated loss of that cool ten thousand will have upon him.
