THE GLOBE AND IT'S SATELLITES.

Our article of week before last upon "the lies of
the Washington Globe" seems to have operated
severely upon some Of the lesser satellites. The
" North Star" is down upon us with lugubrious
complaints and our nearer neghbor, who Ger
tanly, in botl temper, in this matter, par
takes less of heaven than his Northern brother,-
is quite fcrocious. We will endeavor, with the
utmost brcvily, to bcsow upon our warm friends
a passing notice. Beginning with the Star, we
will attempt TO clear up the matter by question
and answer; promising that all its fault-fndng
grows ont of Our simple statement of the result of
the investigation, in the Glentworlh case, by the
first grand jury. We write from memory, as the
Star is not at hand.
Star. Why did you not state that part of the
jury g out of 81 if we recoecl rghty,) protest
ed against the presentation Of Recorder Morris
.4ns,oer. Because we pretended merely to give
the general result of the investigation, and
not the details. We believe also that tlia fact
was known TO our readers previously.
STAR Why did you not state that a part OF the
second grand jury certified to Steplenson's vera
city?
.3nsUer. Because we said nothing against his
veraciiy and moreover we said nothing AT all a
bout the second jury, for the reason that its nvcs-
legations resulted in nolhing.
Star Why did you not say that Glenwortll
had been indicted by the third grand jury?
.answer Because we did not know the fact
when our article was written.
And now word to both Of our neghbors two
juries have refused to indict Gentworth and
third IA Wing jury, too, says the Patriot take
it, then, even the Patriot will admit that some of
the Wings don't countenance rauds,) has ndct-
ed him. Thus far, then, the juries stand two to
one against indcling. Had not you, and your
master, better wait Tor the actual trial. before you
make bold charges Of election frauds, to be.cauglt
up by The Tories of England, and used as two
edged sword, to slash the reputation Of our
own republic on the one hand, and put down the
ballot in England on The other? Agan-we had
the authority Of one jury, under oath, for the truth
of every word we published on The Glen,worh
case in The article upon which you have common
ted aud at the time OF our writing we had Moth
ing conflicting with this jury, but in fact the non
action Of the second TO sustain it were you Just
or generous, or even excusahle, in abusing us for
OF which first argues that there were AT least zoo
illegal votes cast for Naylor, because IS locos lin
a total vote of 202,) voted against his right to q
seat Most conclusive argument lis it not? II
ii is we suppose hereafter that every accused per
son wi he found guilty, by the voice of one jury
man, even though all the rest say-noI guilty! We
ask Mr.. Marston, as alaVyer and justice of the
peace TO boot, we believe whether this is The
rule in his practice? But really, we take it thu
vote of the e5 only proves that they implicitly O.
beyed their master, the Gohe. We offset TO tbs
whole of them one locofoco, who knew, we ven
ture to say, more of the case than all the rest pu
together-we mean the Chairman ofthe Commit
tee of Elections he voted for Nayor. Next tn
Patriot argues that the success of lngersOl, by
large majority, at the last election, is proof OF i'm
mense fraud at the previous election. 1t is n
proof at all Naylor was not n candidate, and III
man who was, in his place, did not unite the Viii
strength, as he was not himself Wing. Th
Patriot concludes by citing the Indictment q
Glentworh, by the third jury, as proof hal we wer
liars and the Globe true. Let us see we wrot
with the evidence Of the two first juries ON GU
side, and before we were conrndicted by the thir
jury. The Globe persisted in its charges notwill
standing the decision of the two first juries
gainst their truth, and before the decision of III
last. Let the roader Judge between the Globe an
ourselves in the matter
we have already bestowed more space to tn
matter than we Intended; and will only u.d, al,
the Patriot and Star sudously avoid the ma
point Of our article, viz; The fact that the Gio
is playing into The hands Of The British Torie,
Gould not these sturdy democrats bestow u
thought upon their own country dFsgraoed, and i
Uoie BY ballot in England resisted Is it indie
true, that their seryility to the Globe and their h
fred to the Watchnan, entirely outweigh ths
love Of country and the cause of repubIicanisu
