u We published Saturday, by request, an
article from the Telegraph, condensed from the
Lexington Observer making various charges upon
Mr.. Blair, editor of the Globe, and among the
number indebtedness to the banks at Frankfort to
large amount. Mr. Blair in the Globe of Friday,
fully and satisfactorily, it appears to u.s. replied
to that charge; stating that he had owed the Banks
but that he had liquidatod the debt and left Ken
lucky owing no man, having provided ample
means for his payment. In Justice we would re-
publish his reply at length, but we havo not room
for it.
We shall be happy TO notice when it appears, Mr..
Blar's refutation Of other charges, more grave
than this of being in debt, which icc with him and
Fox, consider misfortune and no crime. When
the editor of the Official, acquits himself of hav
ing betrayed to Amos Kendall, the confidential
otter Of old and intimate friend; of having per-
mitted that ungrateful viper to garbc the contents
for purposes of party hostility, he himself refusing
to publish the latter entire, which would have
shown Mr.. Clay's innocence; of having pressed
Mr. White to vote for AIr. Adams, and when he did
so, Immediately charging tho fact evidence Of
bargain, intrigue and corruption;'' say, when
Mr.. Blair successfully repes these accusations, we
shall be happy TO spread his vindication before our
readers.
