REMARK OF THE EDITOR OF THE u. S. TELEGR Apu
The Globe is the acknowledged fayorite of the
administration. So far the countenance and
support of the Executive give it character, it
has It to the full. But viii none of those who APP
proach the President and who respect his charac-
| ter, admonish him of the great injury which the
presentations and fasehoods of his organ infiict
upon him. That veracious print attempts to assert
that the statement that Mr.. Crawford was about to
make publication, shis final reply" to Mr. Cal
houn, originated Gin prints in this city, Now
the fact is that some weeks ago. the CONSTITUTIONS
ALIsr, Crawford, Georgia paper published, as we
believe, in theneighborhood of MIR. -Crawford's res
idence, asserted that MIR Crawfords '.fnal reply"
to Mr.. Calhoun, would appear in the Globe in
a few days. This statement was reiterated
by the the Richmond Enquirer, and had APP
peared in most of the Southern daily pa
Pers before it noticed in either of the
Two prints in this city. which SO much
annoy those who established the Globe
The editor of the Globe, fond of his association
with great men, asserts that ,'sMr. Crawford has
neither directly nor Indirectly transmitted any thing
to the editor for publication" Does this proye
that Mr.. Crawford did not directly transmit
final repLy' to one else, to be handed
over to the edtor2 Bat says the Editor, we never
had any correspondence with Mr. Crawford in re-
lation to his controversy with Mr.. Calhoun -

slider Mr.. F. p. Blair, once the confidential agent
and friend of Mr.. Clay, the factotum who made
'the bargain" and now, then, the associate of
Amos Kendall, worthy of his confidence? What !
does not MIR. Crawford correspond with Mr.. Blair,
the organ of the administration J! Certainly this
proves that Mr.. Crawford has no correspondent at
Washington, For who can believe that if a
final reply" had been sent to Washington,
Mr.. Crawford would have sent it to any else
than the editor!!
Now, for our part, we can very readily believe
that Mr. Crawford did not send his ''6nal reply" to
the editor, and yet also believe that it sent to
some other person Zone high in ofice) to be handed
over Tor publication in the Globe. We do believe
that 1t so sent, and that its publication has
been suppressed for reasons which l1iU hereafter
appear; and which, when they do appear, viii cast
moral blot upon the reputation of more than one
great man. We can also believe that for the same
reasons which caused its publication to DO suppress
ed, Mr.. CHaword has been advised to select some
other print as the vehicle of his communication
to the public. Nor shall we be surprised if the
facts which caused it's suppression here, prevent ito
publication altogether. Itie thus that coward guilt
seeiss sdo;Gs ~s-,rs ~ silence. But tho facts
are known, and if Mr.. Crawford does make
his publication, and thus call them forth, IL theJ
will appear in time to electrfy the nation, and to
! overwbem the guilty. "Iruth IS mighty and toHI
/ pre- all"
| But we note again the atlem pit of tho Globe tC
charge upon "ttOo city prints" the statement that
Mr.. Crawford was about TO publish his "6nal re-
plyp in the Globe in feb5 days Tho statement
appeared in a paper in Mr. Crawford's own State
and was no doubt made IN his authority. The
manner ofthe article quotid from the Globe shows
that it was forwarded for Publication and suppress
ed for ;oeighty considerations. Let it come wher
and where it may, il willbear upon its face the
proof of what we now sa5~-and whether it comes
or not, we will in due tine disclose the cause o
its suppression. " Weak the public TO note this
