than Mr. HenshawI he was pioneer In the wors,
snd was the first officer who removed The deposl"'
from the u. y. Bank-he advocated the principles o.
the Sub-treasury before the plan was recommended
by the President 10 Congress his pamphlet agains'

democratic party. The Globe says
The impression made by the dissatisfied portion
Of the democracy [of Mas,achusettsl was, that Mr.
Henshaw and the slessrs. Greensboro The manager
OF the Post the other the Postmaster-sought only
their ends in the party that, alter the demo
crazy had trumphed IA The general government, and
they had obtained prominence IN Massachusetts
sufficient 10 obtain the high federal tfhces IN the
State they were content 10 rest upon the monopoly
and make further endeavor 10 increase IL hy
bringing forward other strong and talented uen, who
might prove their competitors"
Upon whom was this impression nader II GER
lanly never Was made upon Gen Jackson, aud We
do not believe il was made upon Mr.. Van Buren,; II
might, however, have been made upon Francis T.
BLAIR, man who conceises himself an lndvi lual oil
much more Importance than either Of The two ex-
Presidents. Mr. Henshaw has always ben active
in the of democracy, and labored assduously
TO promote its interests. MIR. n Greene was post
master and by his Of discharging The duties
of his office gained the repeated appreciation OF the
General Government, and the universal praise OF the
community here What more honorable method
could he adopt favor his party and those who APP
pointed him 10 office, than by promptly, Faithfully,
and acceptabIy performing his Official labors! lie
used oher means too, to advance the principles to
which he was attached, and such means as were rot
without effect As TO ourselves, we submit it TO our
readers--lo brethren of the democratic press
with whom we exchange-io our political associates,
If have not labored constantly, zealously for the
success Of the of democracy IN the State and
throughout the couniry-il we have not sought TO
build up democratic men as well as democratic mea-
sures regardless of personal considerations and Pr
yae pre- judces' We have written, spoken aud
given, To the extent OF our sblty, 10 promote the
success Of our party much for our m fires upon
the results OF our exertons we will not presume to de-
eide.
Another charge Of tie Globe is that the party did
not increase while Mr.. Henshaw was collector, but
he Withdrew the party grew strong, and
now we have democratic governor When Mr.
Adams and Mr.. Clay formed that arrangement
which Mr. Francis Z. Blair, MIR. Clay's relative by
marriage and confidential friend" was so an ious TO
have perfected, the lead, rs and presses OF the old
Democratic party--the party tn elected Eustis
governor--weDt over l., Adams, and united with the
Federalists--they were followed by all of the party
except about five or six thousand Is was against
thi, enormous odds, the great wealth, power, and
talents Of the whole Federal party of Massachusetts,
united with the greater portion OF the wealth, power
and talents of the former Democratic party, that the
true adherents to Democracy had TO contend. From
this small beginning and under these adverse circum-
stances, was the work Of regeneration commenced,
and persevered in until effected and il not until
the few who commenced the labor amid derisi'n
and persecution had so far advanced that success APP
| peared TO be dawnng upon them that many OF those
whom the Globe says made impressions at Washing
ton unayorable to Mr.. iienshaw and his co-laborers
came amongst us. But the assertion that the Demo
| cratic party did not advance while Mr.. Hsnshaw
| was collector, is not true. It's advance gradual
from the outset; and series Of years can be select
ed lille Mr.. II. was at the he ad Of the national
affairs in the department Of Massachusetts" which
will present great increase Of the party any
similar series since.
The intimation that Mr. IL has taken Office to pro-
duce di,senton among the friends OF the different
Democratic candidates for the Presidency, is about
Just and well founded, and that he remained here
while confined 10 his bed by sickness to carry out a
political man9uvre which never had existence eX.
cept in the train Of Francis 7. Blair. No--Mr.
Blair Is the man who desires 10 dissenson-who
wishes 10 narrow the acton OF the party doen TO q
mere personal contest and them by the advant- ge OF
his position be able to throw himself upon the sue
cessiul sIde and ride 10 power md increased wealth
Mr. Blair talks about Mr. Henshaw's naug ura adj
dress in the Worcester Palladium--the account he
gives of himself there &C. Was there any
thing meaner contemplate than 10 assume
the editorial matter of the Worcester Palladium to
be Mr.. Henshaws words, and proceed TO argue
from such premisesi Mr.. Ii. has no more control
over the columns Of the Palladium than Mr. Blair,
and 10 do with its editorial matter But the
climax of all Mr.. BIar's absurdilies lasehoods and
Interpretations, is summed up in his assertion that
Mr. Henshaw, in unison with Daniel Webster, is en-
deavorng 10 form third party TO put down the two
great parties of the country. Here is discovery
that altogether surpasses the Spencer and an Buren,
scheme-a man III Mr.. Bars position to entertain
such an idea must be demented-to express IT with
out believing it, knave."
