did not write you yesterday, and If II

The ilobe this morning dolorously COM

Of Mr.. Gordon, the collector of New Or
leans. The Globe puts in a little palaver
tor Virginia, and calls this Mr.. Gordon 'a
republican son Of old Virginia. Virginia
will hardly clam such republican sons as
Mr.. Gordon. If rumor be true, he was
rejected on account of his violent and tenn
pestuous disposition, which not only rem.
dered him unfit to do business, bu, an unfit
raler over any custom house. While the
Globe was making this appeal, it would
not have been amiss if the Globe had in

presidents Indignation. That body, how
ever, with the calmness which distinguish
es all its acts, will in all probability give
young Gordon leave to go the way of his

his Globe may grumble, scoid, threaten
