There is such ridiculous falsity in Mr.
Blairs declaration OF never having personally
abused the PresiCent-lhere is such an lndes-
cribable and fendish hypocrisy in whining

''poor Printer ~
We Office holders to be, and all we ofiice-ex-
pectants, here is poor man among you-haye
pity on his weaknsss. Do not mistake his cha
racter-some of you may have supposed him
a,nbitious--he lick, the very dust from your
feet. Some of you may have supposed him
rich, with fine houses in the city, and fertile
estates in the country, with flowers, and fruits,
an gttering equipages, and fashionable balls
This is all false--he is only IS poor printer"
Some of you may have supposed him british in
his language-dic latorial in his requirements

gentle as any lisking lamb upon the meadow.
What, the "poor Printer" have money, or care
about money? He only cares about his coun-
try. Shadrach Penn, rise up and deny this
ridiculous charge. Amos Kendall, has he not
often touched your heart with the soothing
sympathy of his ben.fcent spirit?
Mr.. Blair would make the public believe that
he enteItains quite feeling of respect socially,
for the President-lhat he has never personally
abused him. We refer the reader to the col
umns of the Globe for twelve months back, for
the nnumerable instances of foul personal and
political abuse. We cannot, in our ethics,
make out the difference between political vii
lany and that of any other description. When,
| at one time, il was thought 10 confer an air of
\ fashion on politician TO be defdulter to the
Government, IA convenient discrimination may
have been considered as a very excellent
rule. But it neither suits our comprehension
nor the present times, Things have somewhat
changed in this respect. There is not non
defduifer under the Government. But in the
article Of the Globe, on which we arc now com
mentng, there is personal abuse o. the Presi-
