RuINlNG THE PARTY.

The Globe is al its hendish work again. Ha-
wing surveyed with compacency the disastrous
results Of its twelve months intolerant and die
tatorial course; as exhibited in Tennessee,
Georgia, Mary land, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Rhode Island, Mr.. Blair has resumed, with re-
doubled vigor and pertinacy, his riding over
rough-shod" and dragging to the stake" ope-
rations, in the hope that, before the meeting Of
Congress, he will have meried rich boon at
the hands of the Clay members. His eye is
now fixed on Massachusetts and New York.
and if, by his Vaccinations, those two power
full States can be thrust into the possession Of
the Wings, the prize, he thinks, will be won for
Mr.. Clay beyond redemption. And if many Of
his tools, sef-caled Democrats, who abuse the
from texts found in the Globe-have been sad
died upon the party as candidates, we should
not be surprised TO witness complete reaiza-
ton of the Globes hopes, II cannot be expect
ed that true Democrats friendly to the Presi-
dent, who saved the party by his vEroES, will
vote for candidates who calumniate their uni
versally acknowledged pfeserver aud benefac-
tor.
The leading editorial in yesterdays Globe is
an Embodiment Of the ideas, nay, repetition Of
the language, used by the Boston Atlas-one
Of the most scurrilous Clay print, in the Union
in assailing the Administration for issuing
Treasury notes authorized by an act Of CJn-
gress Had The Government given 6 per cent
interest to the holders, il would have been right;
but in di~posing Of th'm to greater advantage
than was anticipated by the Hhig Congress
saving the People S3OO,OOO is decidedly
wrong, and unconstitutional tesdes
The editor Of the Globe was aware that some
of the abIest and most distinguished Democratic
editors in the country were in Washington this
week, and had expressed their determination TO
applaud the Administration for adopting the
measure in question; and to exercise little
dctaion, If for no other purpose, he seizes upon
this iuncture TO let them know that he claims
the right TO think aud speak for them. Wo 10
the Democrat who shall now dare to approve a
measure of this Administration which saves the
poor taxridden People half million Of dollars !
Ii is quite natural for the Globe to inhict all
the injury it can upon the Democratic party be-
fore il goes over 10 The enemy. In the first
place, it desires to be amply revenged on the
Democratic presses generally for not submitting
to its dictation; in the next, it wishes the party
to be so efectually Frustrated that it will never
be able 10 administer the punishment so richly
merited by the minion who betrayed it, after re-
ceiving from its ccfIers more than million Of
dollars. And truly, if the Wings succeed in
1914, the Presidency will be likely to remain in
their possession twenty years.
The Globe has denominated all the Democra-
tic friends of the President, in New York and
Massachusetts particularly as " renegades" and
spostates" Mr.. Henshaw and his numerous
and devoted friends have been denounced far
more savagely by the Globe than the Wings
ever were and when Mr.. WATSON was appoint
ed Postmaster at Albany, its ire knew no b. unds,
and to give vent to its anger, all the abuse show
cred upon the President by the Federal Wing
editors was transferred TO It's columns.
