use secret niluence To the nauly and open
course hitherto praciised-but little advice
was asked of the legal Cabinet of the PresI-
dent, and upon its reorganization The Gus
to mot consulting lis members IN body was al
most entirely dispensed wlih,S the President
was subjected TO the secret control oi IRE
sponsibc and for time unknown advisers,
who had been placed around hlm ny Mr.. Van
Buren, and who he could as he thought do
pend upon and control.
Until the explosion OF General Jackson's
first cabinet called the unit, paper called
the Telegraph aud edited by Duff Green had
been the administration journal and Official
organ. The editor oi this paper was inclined
IN favor Of the succession Of John &. Calhoun
to the Presidency, and of course he was not
iavorlte with Mr.. Van Buren,. About this
time Francis Z. Blair was brought 10 Wash.
lngton from Frankfort in Kentucky, aud was
selected by Mr. Van Buren aud his friends
to edit u paper TO be called the Globe, which
since that tine,as is we'll known, has been the
executive organ. This Francis Z. Blair soon
became one vi the most prominent members
of the "kitchen Cabinet, and a filter or more
unscrupulous instrument for the purposes M
tended, could not perhaps have been "selected
from The peopte" by Mr.. Van Buren,. In a
speech delivered in Congress by MIR. Bond OF
Ohio, about two years since, Mr.. Bond stated
that there was IA paper "nporied or ,fied" by
one of the committee OF this house, which
showed that on the Both of Nov. 1880, this same
Francis Z Blair was indebted 10 The u. States
Bank in the sum OF SO, O,11l,:}6. Tins debt,
Mr.. Bond says, he compromised with the
Bank by relnqulshing for II Il clerks fee bill
amounting to S:j7 ~, and n note on gentle
man by the name OF Gratz for 200 dollars,
and was released from The payment Of $50
74I3G, it being a lIitlc more than one cent Oh
the dollar. Those who arc acquainted with
human nature will at once admit, that IT MIR.
Blair was good but unfortunate man hc
would have !et himself under great obliga
tions to the Bank, and would have ever felt
grateful for the kindness shewn him, while
ON the contrary if he was naturally vicious
and bad man, just IN proportion as he felt
himself under obligations To the Bank would
be his hatred and his desire of lnlurlng it
small Japors make Giends, great Jurors make
enemies, "-cspecially when conferred on bad
men. No one probably ever yet accused MIR.

The columns of the Globe are lately assllln
