This is the head and front Of Mr. Brownsoss OF
Tending, and in this, Mr. Blair, with his usual deep
penetration into notices. fluids conclusive evidence
that this eminent gentleman " has been bribed for
several years past by the wings to utter pestiiont
opinions, for Inc purpose of breaking down the de-
mocratic party" I'VE believed them" lin lS4O,)
says Mr.. Blair, !" that this man Brownson was en-
poyed by the enemies of the Democracy TO put forth
his pestllent opinions, with view to the very
they ade Of them. Ne are Convinced tkat the

We,"" we"-Mr. F. P. Blair of the G'obe-is
convinced of ths-convinced that man, eminent
thinker of abilities acknowledged not only in Ame
RIGA but in Europe, where Mr. Blair probably never
was, never will be heard Of, gentleman, scho
lar and Christian, the atches OF whose shoes the
editor of the Globe is unworthy to unite has been
bribed to differ from his party as to constitutional so
vereignty and General Jacksons opinions thereon.
What can evince more ptable state Of lunacy than
this language and this belief, imply if real? and if
this conviction of Mr.. Blair be expressed deceive
others, and to injure fellow creature worthy good
man. what but state of mental ami moral depravity
could have impeed to such brutal malice Yetwho
believes that MIR. Blair really entertans the opinion
OF MIR. Brownson here expressed; and whom does he
imagine SO near his own state of maddened bigotry,
that he be persuaded into the belief which here
confidently expressed, without single reason to
sustain il We can readily suppose that any one
who has surrendered himself to MIR. Richie, Mr..
Blair, and few other kindred old women of the par
ty, should entertain the conviction the former gen.
temen has recently expressed it, that " one half Of
the majority ,cho roted against Mr.. Yam Buren, bibed
and the other halt intoxicated ,ch cider ?" but we
say that, except hr. Balr there is not another man
in the United States who believes what hs here says
of MIR. ENTHUSIASTICALLY other would
have valued his reputation so little as 10
have made such an assault u,on good
mans character. This is one of those
voting examples of coarseness and malignity, TO
which we had referred, when we said some time ago
that the personal violence and proscriptve spirit IF
the Globe were of the heaviest mIistones which
the late Presidential contest hung about the neck
OF the Administration, impaired its utility, and tend
ed to defea: Mr. Van Burens election. Who IN the

The article in the Globe which makes this wantnn
assault upon MIR. Brownson, fully susans the strong
language which we have US, d. Consider the reck-
less nsensibility which could dictate charge of bril-
berry, founded on certain specuIaons Of MIR Brown

Ne haze NOT read this article, but gather its traits from

What an exquisite sense of TRUTH Vagaries and
parsdoxes never have any attraction for US. They
in fact rep1lsire utterly untrue that did not
look into Mr. Broonsons late version # the federal
doctrines, avowed by him, although it would at-

opponents the favor they did in lu.putng Brown
