From The Missouri Rtporter

The Globe of the Goth ult-, in an article DENYING
the ntrgues attributed to the editor during his late
visit to the West, says:
"The resolution Of the Democracy of Missouri to
discard Penn, (although protesting the utmost deyo
ton TO Mr. Van Buren, and Col. Benton) was taken
months before we mad, our voyage to St Louis and
our journey was undertaken without the least view
TO the establishment OF the ST. Louis Standard That
press has not the slightest with the Globe:
has the editor ever had line OF correspondence
with the editor of the Globe, q moments consul
tat. on with a view to concert with our pressn
The assertion, that the Democracy of Missouri
have, at any time determined to discard the editor of
the Reporter, is malignant falsehood come from
what source it may. Mr.. Blair, if so informed IS
called on to say what authority he has made the
assertion. We also ask him to state ichen he received
the information which he has thought proper to
h, zard the above statement
Discard" Penn, indeed The idea IS ridiculous
We can inform Mr.. Blair that there are now pub
shed fourteen English Democratic papers In Mis-
souri,, and nine Of tie fourteen fighting shoulder
to shoulder with the Reporter against a corrupt and
trembling cl que--thc very cabai that Undertook the
foolish task of reading the Reporter out Of the party
Another paper acts with the Reporter in support of
leading measures of reform, though it yet cIings 10
the Governor. Thus the Globe will understand tina,
far the Democratic press Of the State is con-
| cerned, the Reporter is one Of majority of nine
agaot four. This, Mr.. Blair i'll regard as strange
aton--but it is nevertheless true The ma.
orIty OF the people Is far stronger than that of the
press against the Clique. At least three-fourhs OF
! the Democrats of Missouri have soemny determine
ed to shake of Clique rule and rcbuke Clique pro
scription Ii is well understood here as IL can be-
in any oher quarter Of the Union, that prescription
is the tyrants weapon"-and many in ellectua
| and sterling Democrats have been prescribed AMI
denounced by the Central Clique of this State ,ha
the people have at last become aroused and will tole
rate the monstrous abuse no longer. The organ o
the Clique died a few days ago Referring 10 tn,
Boonsck Democrat, the Times of the LIST inst says
"This paper, 1.-THE Democrat has been discontin
ued, and the establishment, will be seen by refer
enco TO our advertising columns, is to be sold /

orally recognized as the Central or Clique Organ A.

the usual publication hour, the editor not KNOWN,
such thing was in contemplation until he was called
