since. and then met my eye. have
preserved il for The express purpose of
noticing il here. on q suitable occasion:
and this is The first appropriate moment
have had To do so. The paragraph in
lqnesIi0n was written on the occasion of
announcing The election Of me Of The
present Senators from Ohio, (Mr. AIien:)
in doing which, the Globe exulIs al what
il was pleased 10 consider defeat Of Mr..
Ewing, highly distinguished and most
valuable member Of The Senate. do not
propose 10 dwell on that election; IL is
foreign 90 my purpose; but ] do verify
believe il was achieved against the wishes
/ Of a majority Of the people Of Ohio. and
recent events sustain that opinion. And

and TO all the. private relations Of life,

"bank beneficiary" In the same article.
sir, some fifteen Senators are opprohriOus-
ly named and condemned by this Govern
ment press. The State OF Alabama is
particularly congratulated on being reIiey-
ed from the " Caihounery" Of Gabriel
Moor. Bot now a new light has sud-
denly opened which wholly changes the
medium through which the Globe sees
!" Cdihounery." 10 use Mr.. Blair's own
lphrase. How long has il been since that
paper stigmatized Mr.. Calhoun g." as the
banks feed instrument" and said Of him
iha, no man ever nullifed the truth with
SO little remorsel" Now, however, the
whole. scene is changed. and Mr.. Calhoun
is almost deified BY The very Government
press which bu, yesterday had so reviled
him! Here, Mr.. Speaker, we realize
another truth spread before the country
, in Mr.. Bent1n's report, which, in tescrib-
ing The power Of the President over
. Individuals administering the Govern
ment. says: lie makes and unmskes
Them" A shor, time since. this ADJ
: ministration and its press stood forth the
advocates and friends Of The State banks,
and. after placing The public money in
, their custody, urged them TO lend il out
Having thus " debauched' and seIuced
them from the seven tenor OF their way"
this same Administration and press nov
| abuse The banks and the credit system
l which but yesterday they applanded; and
TO Justify this abuse, fslsehood is substitute
ed for fact. The Cube a day or two
since stated that the Legislative ex

. rectors of the banks there had drawn gu
a more than the whole amount Of their rea
i. capital" This, sir, is another daring ant
J. impudent lalsehood Of that paper, ant

1 peraion OF this Administration and it:

selfish purposes. The result of III,

II. This same paper took occasion. no
