last week in the following manner
Two negroes entered his Office, and threw down
dollar violently his counter that it rolled off,
asking for small change. While he was picking II

bed them. The Instrument IN tho shape Of walk

steel by which thick fold OF paper may be pierced
and secured.
MIR. Greene found, on examination, that the dol
lar was counterfeit lie refused TO take IT, The
negroes insisted that IL good, They remained
some time disputing this point but left with their
booty II is we'll for the brokers TO be on the look

We may mention fact which we have upon good
authority that there are supposed to be some Eve

6 How like modest John Tyler, who got possession
of the White House" by accident, had the brass to
take bronze statue OF jefferson out Of the Capitol
and TO put II up befre his door and then to proclaim
himself TO be the sole representative of Thomas JEFF
ierson, the great apostle of Democracy; and Blu
chanan, Calhoun, Cass, Johnson and Van Buren,, all
impostors"
This editor 1--WE will not call him man) strikes
rashy in the dark This work originated with,
and was executed by, the Irish Republicans of
the District oil Columbia. Ii is very true that
the President rejoiced to meet The views of his
Irish feow-clizens in this respect. Neither he
nor they were by any means gralifed al the
idea that the statue of Jefferson, rejected by the
Congress Of The United States, should be kick
ed about the roundo of the capitol. This great
retormer and philanthropist and true Democrat,
(no Blairite) deserves only honor and reve-
renee, not conlumcly and disgrace, at the hands
of his countrymeD. This fling at Mr. Jefler-
sons bronze starue--this attempt to ridicule
even Thomas J Herson, is in keeping with the
Globe.
Its astonishing how some men, by the fire.
quent repetition of a falsehood, bring themselves
gradually 10 believe their own silly and mad
statements. The Globe commenced the war on
Tyler and Calholn, and some of its satellites at
lacked Cas- aud the Globe has been unreent-
ing in denouncing the President "without re-
serve" from the beginning, and now il really has
brought itself TO the conclusion that we, who
have never spoken, except in terms of grea, re-
specr, of Messrs. Calhoun, Cass, Johnson, and
Buchanan, desire 10 read them out of the par
y! We have certainly inculcated harmony and
peace in the Democratic ranks all through, and
have objected to the cut throat policy of the
Globe, because we have seen nothing but de-
struction to our best interests in such course
and that tins thief of stolen regulations of honest
men, this Midas who, though he turns all the
public plumber he touches into gold, yet shows
the asses ears to mark his folly and his avarice,
should think that he can persuade any sensible
or honest man in the Republic 10 believe him,
is as ridiculous as most other things The editor
does.

3" MODEST ASSURANCES

A familiar proverb Tells us that those who live
desparing recklessness of the Globe, however,
renders il dead to any inherited or acquired lesson
OF wisdom. Consist nj itself only in Inconsistent
cy, it Is fond of accusing others of abandoning
their first faith and arrogaling the character OF
unsullled integrity, il dabbles in bribery, and
struggles to hide its delil qu,ncy in the vapors
of boistcrous accusation of others. But in his
article yesterday, Blair out-Blared himself
Known throughout its whole career for the as
sumption of infallibIe dictation-for setting up
itself for the director of the pary--ior the party
itself; and notorious for lis impudence in striv-
ing to pronounce every man he,erodox, who would
not subscribe to the truth of its doctrines and
submit TO its DEGREES, the Globe now endeavors
TO turn OBJ ,ervation from its own fault, by i'm
putting similar ones 10 u.-and accusing Us Of
assuming an authority which it has invariab' y
usurped itself. We, forsootb, denounce the
old Jefersonian phalanx of Democracy! Did
We ever try 10 fix the odious appellalion Of
Ca'aline on Mr.. Calhoun? To reciprocate the
delicate compar ons of the Globe--the editor
seems to US like the drunkard, who dreams
every one he meets to be drunk, and himself
alone sober.
To comment on the successive paragraphs OF
the article, would be frivolous waste of time
1t furnishes, with all its vapidity the best COM
ment the caption. We leave it to the fate
it deserves. 1t repeats the adage that "pros
perIy tries yogues"-and the Globe Itself de-
monstrates the tru h of the proverb 1t never
brbed-till wealth rendered il abe.

Der Of copies Of which were now ordered by Con-
gress,) MIR. Rives told him he would give him $500

Secretary provided Congress paid the Globe Office
