THE GLOBE AND MIR. HENsHAW.

| When, a short time since, Governor Hill ex-
posed the extravagant entertainments gwen oy
The editor of the Globe TO members of Congress,
whose votes he coveted for congressional Ju0s'
the Globe man became savage at the detection
and thought il ungentee in the Governor; but
it stoops TO the personal and private concerns OF
Secretary Henshaw, and perverts such facts as
its purveyors have furnished. Nor is this all
it states gross untruths. In a late number we
find the following:
| aWhen Mr. Tyler went to Boston, with vacan-
cy in his Cabinet to FILL Mr.. Henshaw forgot his old
loves and enmities all at Although be resides
in Worcester he went to Boston and obtained house
on purpose to give Mr.. Tyler feast in it, at great
cost, and company was invited to meet him."
| Now, the whole country knows that when
Mr.. Tyler went to Boston there was no rdcdn-
cy in the Cabinet, and none expected but in the
office of Attorney General, as Mr.. Legare was
Secretary of State.
MIR. Upshur was then in the Navy Depart
ment, and had no wish, nor did he expect 10
leave it, Mr.. Legare's death occurred after
Mr.. Henshaw's FEAST" and, moreover, Mr..
Henshaw no, being lawyer, could not have
expected to be Attorney General, so that this
sander OF the Globe falls to the ground. Again,
Mr. Henshaw has no residence at Worcester /;
but spends his time about equally in Boston and
al his farm at Leicester. When in Boston, he
occupies rooms at The house of his adopted
daughter, and there is his library and furniture,
and there they have been for years, used in the
manner above stated.

sident and his Cabinet to be present ., the cele-

venture to say that the edi'or of the Globe ne

party.
This is simple statement of the facts, and
the Globe is welcome TO all The capital it car
make out Of the affair towards Obtaining votes
from Eastern members Of Congress, and, indeed
from gentlemen from any other section. The
company at Mr. Hen,haw's was of the pre-
