: 1t was only the other day that Mr.. Rives, one OF
the proprieors Of the Globe said we had been
sehooe in ba, kguardism for twenty years ia Lou
isyie where We had been engaged, during thai pc
Rod In of unsurpassed bitterness with the fe-
deral party whose great" leader Is connected by
marriage (which is sometimes stronger tie than that
OF bloody with MIR. Blair-and that great
leaders organ is quoted upon us us statements en-
dorsed by Mr. Blair. aud the nickname spilled 10 us
by the unfnching gladaiors OF Mr.. Clay, Is used by
his reclaimed go-between, the editor OF the Globe
ssShadn was used as a reproachlu cognomen by our
Federal assailants, and Mr.. Blair, he is fighting
artlulIy for them thinks he must use II too But the
exira,t of letter published IN the Kentucky kepor
ter contains internal evidence that II was not written
by citizen Of Missouri. II not only ascrlbes 10 Col
Benton threats which he could not have been indis
enough to utter but speaks OF visions which
do not exist, and Of determination the part Of
many Democrats TO beat Benton, which was never
formed expressed Then il says; 'OId Shsd
Penn is q. the head OF this the LIBERAL faction and
you know how implac able he is in his Iesentments
This remark reminds US Of what usually said in
Kentucky Of our implacable hostility 10 Mr.. Clay
and the assertion, that the liberals in Missouri ''are
aware, if Mr. Van Buren, is the President, their
chance for promotion is out" points, in connection
with other circumst tnces, To an old Wing Dcighbor
and crony Of Mr. Blair's in Kentucky, the author
OF the extract OF letter published by Mr. Clays
gan in Lexington, and transferred to the columns Of
his masked battery IN Washington, called the Globe
But, IL may be asked, why sborid the Globe assa
the Reporter, and at the same lime assert that its
editor is now the hope of discounted Coonery in
Missouri" The answer, II such an inquiry he made,
is this The Globe, by the signal failure OF its branch
in ST. Louis Called the Standard is convinced that
the great body of the Democrats of Missouri are
liberal and opposed TO ultraism, and consequently
approve the course of the Reporter II is known
that Mr. Clay Is unpopular in Missouri, aud by hold
ing us up as the only hope of Clay Coonery, the
Globe would diminish our strength, render the num-
beers for and against the Reporter equal cmbtter the
contest and thus insure the triumph of MIR. Bairs
old master, Mr.. Clay. he patriotism and dis
ln,erestedness which prompted Mr. Blair to advise
Mr.. Clay (relaied to HIM by marriage) TO rample on
the known will of the people OF kenlDcky, by voting
for Adams in the House and making him President,

and his friends when eected-'he spirit that is
now impeng Mr.. Blair TO return TO his first love-
and defame and betIay the original friends of the
Hero OF the Hermitage, Is identical with that which
made him heretofore prominent intriguer for Mr..
Clay, and subsequently prepared him TO ask aid and
shelter from The generous and chvarous man he had
labored to prosirae under the shallow preence that
lie did not know him!-as II any one could have be-
lieyed that the Hero Of New Orleans was unknown
But MIR. Blair then for Mr.. Clay, and no one
else. lie wished TO see Mr.. Cisys views carried
out-thc American system--which was to prohibit
imports to encourage domestic manufactures and by

principles and preferences, when Gen Jackson tri-
