THE GLOBE AND THE MADIsoNIAN

The Washington Globe, that " deIectable lender
or the Executive" seems TO be constantlv hannied
with the ghost OF that truly republican journal. ibe
| Madisonan, aud Is mostly employed In dealing
weak and unayailing blows al H. in the shape OF ihe
moa stale and ridiculous caunnies thai The per-
turbed imagination OF +. p. Blair can conjure UP
In The estimation 81 the Globe, as well OF It's
unprncipled echoes every thing is federalism that
does not minister 10 lis own nordnaie cupidity, and
therefore il Is that The Madisonian Is almost daily
denounced as federal paper 10 the columns OF the
Globe-an assertion that its editors know 10 be
wholly false, and which every Intelligent citizen Of
Washington knows 10 be So In addition 10 all lis
other absurd charges against The Madisonian, the
Giub. OF the 18th inst. says:-aIt (lhe Madisonian
paper was offered TO Mr.. Bddle last summer for
$1,000, bul he would have no.hing 10 do with H."
This statement the editor oi the Madisonian declares
TO be not utterly false, but that there is the
slightest foundation far rhateuer. Bat In reading
this charge, without knowing whether IL was true or
false, We could not Iepress feeling OF neillbe con-
tempt thai sHch an assertion should have emanalcd
from such source. Has The editor OF the Gil b. for
gotten the line when be came 10 New York TO lay
The Jackson party under contribution 10 sustain his
p'perl Has he forgotten the cunyocation Of Office
holders thar was held al the old Bank Coffee House.
under The direction u Swartwout and Price, for the
purpose OF conriying ways and means 10 raise the
wind Has he forgotten how the money was SUBJ
scribed, and how much Mr. Swartwout gaye1 We
| presume 50, or else he would not have the brazen
audaci thus falsely To assai brother editor hose
only crime Is that he will mol abandon his principles
and become the fawning sycophant of power.
| We suppose II Is a tact susceptible Of proof, that
the Globe newspaper could not sustain itself Tor one
fortnight, were II mol tor the printing ot the differ
ent departments Of the Government, which L. p.
| Blair claims as right aud which he iarms out TO
other primers al a low Fate saving an enormous
profit 10 himself. We suppose also, that il i act
susceptible OF proof, that some three or tour years
since, +. z. Blair himself, came 10 New York and
raised large contribution from the office holders in
thai city 10 sustain his paperlha Swarlwuu az that
time had no money oi his own, and in all probability
thrust his hand no The public purse to ply his sub
senpion-and thai cons qnehty il may be safely
charged that r. p. Blair me present cdft0r Of The
iLobc, raS aayer in te Sfcartroat dejaicati0Hs!-
Instead, the eore, OF spending his lime in abusing
ana eliminating his supervrs IN honesty, talent,
and every other laudable trait Of his human charac-
yer, would he not gain more credit in The estimation
o. every man whose good opinion rs worth having
y ne should take portion Of the wages Of his poll
cal iniquity and pay il into The National Treasury
| 10 the credit OF Messrs. Swartwout and Plice who
probably ffa opened The d0or Of fraud and pecula-
lion in consequence OF their anxiety to save him
from bankruptcy and ruin
