THE GLOBE IN TROUBLE.


Who has read the Globe since the nomination of
Gen. Harrison and has not seen the deep morliica-
ton felt by The party at the nomination Of the hero
Of Tppecanoe At the moment when that corrupt
organ supposed that Gen. Scott would be the rom-
nee, Blair up a doleful howl over Gen Harri-
son. When the party had battles to fight, General
Harrison was the man, but he must be thrown
aside TO make room for Gen. Scott. Such was The
language of that honest man, Blair, at moment
when he thought he could create division in the
ranks Of the opposition. No sooner was il announ-
ced that Gen. Harrison was The nominee than the
howl changed, and Mr.. Clay, poor MIR. Clay, was
the obi CT OF the sympathy Of the organ. He had
been thrust aside TO make way for man who was
corard," an "a5olitonist a fedcraiia a peer
mar" log cabin caadidate"-an "old granny" an
"old farmer" who might be bought off with PEN
sion and some "hard cider" Again, honest Blair
soon in difficulty, Tor the ISLANDERS and charges
the party made, seemed only 10 increase the enhusi-
Of the supporters Of the old hero; in this deSpe-
rate dilemma the party rcsorted to another game,
which il is now playing, but which, like the others,
must fail The gullibiliiy of the people is rellfd
upon by Blair but he may rest assured, as we say
in the South, that chicken won't fight. Look at the
Globe, and you will see that the party has actually
drop Mr. Van Buren, and taken up Gen. Jackson
not one word is said about what Mr. Van Buren, has
ever done for the country, while whole columns
are taken up with the deeds Of valor Of Gen. jack
son. Does Mr.. Van Buren, intend 10 retire and let
old Hickory run against old Tippecanoel IL SO,
we shall have fair race, for even Blair, who looks
through pair Of spectacles which costs the people
100000 year, must see that Mr. Van Buren, is
wholly out Of the question Does The Globe expect
to gull the people into the belief that the contest is
between Gen Jackson and Gen. Harrison between
theod ve,erans7 Gen. Jackson has been rewarded

THE CREDIT OF THE STATES.

The speech Of. Mr.. CRIrrENpEN, yester-
day, in reply TO the assailanis OF the cred, of
the States in the Senate, was one of the mos.
brilliant and forcible efforts OF his fine genius.
he welded all the edge-tools Of eloquence
and wit IN defence Of the institutions of the
country with the hand of consummate mas
ter; and the impression on the large and distin.
guished assembagc which filled the galleries
and hoor, was manifested by the most pro-
found attention, from the beginning Of his re-
marks TO the close. We have seldom derived
from any speech more pleasure and instruc-
'ion' and hope that it will be extensively cir
culated in the country.

Of March, 1871. You are paid well for abusing and
vfying the old soldier is true, but still would
no, be decent and answer your purpose equally

deeds Of General Van Buren, Tell US something

Van Buren,, the review Of the army last summer at
Trenton Let us know who held the umbrella over

an incident, Of 81 years standing, which related 10
him as follows:-" In 1884, was in England, it was
the custom at that time for the nobility, and other
distinguished persons, TO ride at Hyde-Park, on

TODD'S PATENT
Feather Renovation

sNHE subscriber having purchased the ex-
Il elusive right to use Todd's Patent Steam
Feather Renavator, i'll this and several other
counties in Virginia, has had a machine built
and put in operation by MIR. George ID. Lam
caster, in the house where said Lancaster
now resides. BY the operation Of this ma
chine, old Feathers that have been in use for
more than 90 years, are completely cleansed
(without injury,) from every thing like dust,
moth, or unpleasant odour, land are so entirely
renovated and enlivened that they assume the
appearance Of new feathers, and are increased
in bulk at least one-third, so that three beds
equally large may be made out of the feathers
that two contained previous to renovating
them.-By the use of this machine the un-
pleasant odour that attaches to new feathers is
entirely corrected without injuring them In
the slightest degree.
Persons DESTROYS of having their feathers
cleansed and rendered pure and wholesome,
will please call on MIR. George ID. Lancaster,
who will at all times be ready to perform the
operation on the shortest notice and in the
most perfect manner.
