To match us in comparisons with dirt;
To weaken and discredit our exposure"
Troitus d Cressida.
Never, perhaps, in the whole course of our
existence, have we experienced more urgent
appeals to the charitable sympathies of our
nature, than we have now daily presented to
US in the columns of the Globe. The editor
of that paper has advocated various opinions
and various men for the many years he has
pursued his varying course, and entitled him
self to the consideration Of his friends These
valuable services, as well as the facility Of sa-
cri6cing the friendship of benefactors upon
the altar Of the general good, should not fail
to meet the rewards due to so much excel
lence. The survivors Of the revolution receive
pensions, and many Of the savages annuities
grateful indications of the bounty Of those
whose interests they have served. The claims
of the Globe will not suffer in comparison
with those of the latter. Its claims, indeed,
modest, anii-monopoly, as they are, will be
liquidated by merely the entire patronage Of
the government Never was an unkinder cut
performed than when the printing Of the
House Of Representatives was transferred
from the exclusive patent democrats" of the
Globe, to a" masked enemy" /" federal-whig,"
&c. like ourself, ercept when, there being an
overwhelming majority inls35 in favor Of the
administration, it was conferred upon the Ma
tional Republicans, as can be shown by :" GER
tifcatesr' A bounty commensurate with the
wants and expectations Of the former, would
have left not groat for others, and therefore
we can but regret that we needs must be re-
minded every day that our circumnavigation
Of the Globe, has opened new channels of
communication, likely to prove Prejudicial to
the enemies Of commerce. We can, however,
but express our acknowledgements to the Globe
and its affiliated presses, for the distinguished
notification which they have recently taken of
our labors, believing that they have procured
us the five hundred names we have added to
our subscription list in the last four weeks.
Considering these circumstances, we feel, at
times, quite inclined to share our bounty with
the Globe, especially considering also that
such course might silence the crying COM
plants of its modification and disappoint-
ment.
Some matters, however, strike us as de-
serving of notice, lest the people should be
deceived in regard TO the relative position Of
the two prints, and the course and conduct Of
the two divisions TO which they are attached.
AZ IN onrself IL Is n m after of No public
moment, as to what name we may be called,
or however we may be used or abused. The
people, although they may be, possibly, misled
for time, will finally settle down upon the
truth, and thank no man for attempting t6 de-
ceive them.
The Globe, Of Wednesday night, claims to
be the only paper in the District that sustains
the administ ration, and enumerates the Madi-
sonian among those which "oppose it." This
is of character with the usual ercluSipeness
Of that journal. But why was it not as mag
unanimous with us as il was with the late Mer-
chant a. Reformer, the most rabid opposition
paper in the country! That paper, says the
Globe, opposed the administration on cuery
question, save that of the separation of the
government and the banks" but the Madiso-
Man is thrown into the general mass OF entire
opposition. Have we ever opposed the adj
ministration in any measure save the !" Divorce
Bill I" We challenge the Globe, or any other
paper, to point out single instance in which
