representatives. TO Congress. This is an anti-Ciique
movement but, unless The Eagle shall continue 10 ad
fvcale II, mat paper must cease 10 exist
In the above estimate have not included The
two German papers published IN tins citv-one OF
them, the Anzeiger des Westens, published thrice
week by Mr.. Weber is a we'll established and highly
Influential paper, aid was taken 10 task IN the stand
ard oi wednesday for stating the TACT, that 'h'ee
lourhs OF the Democrats of Missouri concur 10 me
principles we profess and the measures we ge"efais
advocate
I he English papers which do not support the
Clique are, the BDonviIle Register, Palmyra Courier
Usage feoman, Pilot, Liberty Banner, Radical, Jei-
ersonian Republican, Southern Advocate, and he
porter-and the Platte Eagle is with US ON the DIS
irict question.
This statement WILL we trust, convince the Globe
that the real Democracy of Missouri are with the
Reporter and never determined to discard +" fehh'
as Mr.. Blair has been falsely informed. Having se.-
tied this point, we must call on the Globe 10 DC III
tie more explicit On another
We have asserted that the funds to purchase The
materials for the Standard office were obtained upon
bill drawn on the Globe concern, and endorsed by
NJ Blair. Has or has not such bill been paid IN
Washington the East i--Ay, or No, MIR. Blair!
As the fact has not been denied, we ask for denIai
or admission of it.
The assertion that The editor of the Globe has not
corresponded with the Standard concern, amounts 10
just nothing at all That print has already published
an extract from letter from Of the propiietors
njure US, and necessarily hold both rcspons bic
for the act The public will thus understand that, if
the editor does not correspond with the Standard
concern, his partner does the recreant Wing sent
here has been guilty Of forgery. This is matter
the parties Interested may ad Just among themselves
As to our profession of ' The utmost devotion to
Mr. Van Buren, and Col. Ben;oa" the Globe is again
at fault. We profess such devotion TO man living.
II Is only due to principles and to truth and
worthy OF respect will profess it for any thing ia hu-
man shape. II Is true, we esteem Me- Van Buren,
highly, and have expressed preference for him
but tic present condition of the Democratic party
admonisies US, that the sober second thought Of
the Globe, as recently expressed, is correct that
an editor ought not TO TO know that he feels any
preference, until nomination shall have been made
by The National Convention, and then he should do
battle for the nominee. Can the Globe honestly adj
here t. tins impartial position, and at the same time
admit that old co-laborer can be scarded for do
ing The same thing? viii Mr.. Blair answer this in
curry and, at the same time, allow the antdote
contained in these remarks TO follow the false annun
clation he has been induced to make that the Demo-
crazy Of Missouri had determined ''to dscardn Penn
On one more point MIR. Blair may be able to serve
us. He can PROBABLY state the grounds on which it
was alleged we were to be /" disc rrded." Here no.
thing but vague suspicion nlng denunciaton
is relied on. If our whitelvered assaiIants really
believe we are opposed to Democratic principles,
they are too ignorant or cowardly 10 make specific
charges against US. We hope Mr. Blair will not con-
sent TO conceal from the public the alleged delinquen-
cies, for which he informed we were to be read
out of the camp In justice to his benefactor he
cannot do it-for, if Mr. Blar's fortunes have rs
under the influence and widely diffiised popularity,
the fostering and kindness of Gen. Jackson
certainly batted for that best of living patriots
years before Mr. Blair ceased to oppose him sup
ported him faithfully during his Administration
and have revesenced him as sincerely since. We at
least aided 10 the extent oil ability, in placing
the hero of the Hermitage in position, in which he
was atle to act efficiently the friend and patron
of Mr.. Blair-alld we, therefore, think have a
right TO claim justice at the hands of the latter.
Our views in relation to Colonel Benton were ac-
curatey expressed few days since, and need not be
repeated on the present occasion His positions as
Senator have been generally sustained by us, and
in reference to them based on princi-
pie, and will not be C. anged.
