Upon this letter the Richmond Wing makes
the following comments.

The character which Mr.. M Mason gives OF the
Globe, is calculated to make impression upon the
public mind That paper is the accredited organ of the
Administration-s editor is the bosom crony Of the
Presldenthas to his private study-knows his
wishes and is paid to sustain hemis consulted about
important affairs Of State, and has little influence in
directing the action and policy Of the Government"
This Journal thus occupying this responsible and con.
hdenta position thus standing in the shoes Of and be-
ing, as 1t were. the Administration ITSELF is pronounced
by an honorable member Of Congress- under his own
sign manual, guilty of /" wlful falsehood and utter
y incapable Of comprehendng any honorable incentive
in public affairs"
The honor OF the country is affected in the eyes OF
the world by the Administration which employs its
confidential organ, paper thus publicly branded in
famous.
