THE GLOBE AGAIN.

The editor OF the Globe, when publishing his
long article of Wednesday evening, in continu-
alton of his late attack on Mr.. Robert Tyler,
upon the strength of information derived from
the repetition OF a private conversation which oc-
Cured in the rooms of private house, devoted,
at the time to the accommodation of the excel
lent and distinguished Senator from Pcnnsyl-
vania, on the part of an individual who is al
ready revelling Gin anticipation) in the Injuries
of an imaginary fat office, declares that she
has done with the subject" M

havs beena hundsed fold better fvr the interests
+of Francis p. Blair, for this once in his lifetime,
TO have let an opportunity rass by to deal a
spiteful and malignant blow at one who had Of
Tended him. We are aware tina. Mr.. Blair ne
yer forgets what he conceves to be an injury;
sooner or later, with the remorselessness of an
Indian, he sinks his tomahawk, or attempts to
do so, in the brains of his victim. II would
have been, however, decidedly wiser policy,
in the present instance, to have waited more
favorable time anil TO have made his attack
under more favorable circumstances.
After expressing our very natural indignation
at the result of the party operation which had
against the wishes, we consclentlously believe,
of two-thirds of the Democratic party, out Of
Congress, elected Blair and Rives printers to
the House Of Representatives, we had intended
TO have remained silent. The Globe rOuld not
permit This The editor brought up the ques
ton himself, in a form most insulting to the
President and his friends. After has election,
not satisfied with the enormous fruits of victory,
he travels out of the record, and makes gratu-
i,ous, wanton, and personal attack on the Pre-
sdeut, through his Pirate Secretary. He
determined to indulge his malignant passions
at any expense, Hnoning that Mr.. Robert
TYLER was the person who had offended his
selflove, and who had endeavored to leopard
his corrupt Interests, he nevertheless charged
the act TO the Presidents Private Secre-
tary. The motive was evident 1t was
10 bring the President into the issue,
and even nOp, with his usual impertur-
liability, after positive declaration of the
fact, authorized TO be made by Mr.. Rob
ert Tyler, that his course on the subject
iect was " in opposition 10 the Presidents ad-
vice, given and repeated in the hearing Of
others"-he charges Mr.. Robert Tyler, thus wild
ening and deepening the offence, with having
made, ON the occasion of the conversation TO
which he refers, Cabinet speech His object
in first making his attack was clearly TO identify
the defeat of the President with the triumph of
himself In addition to this, II was necessary,
in order to strike The hardest blow, TO make it
appear that not only was he, +. p Blair, per-
sonaly sustained by the Hon. Mr.. Buchanan,
at the expense Of the social reputation of that
most high-minded and exalted gentleman, but,
also, tina the distinguished Senator from Penn
sylvania, sustained by the large vote OF his pow
erful State, beyond any reasonable contingency,
for the Presidency, bad, by grossly indicate
course of conduct, by repeating a prirdte con-
rersation to Mr.. Blair, Signifed his intention
of sustaining the action of the party machinery,
in the desperate struggle, now being made, TO
whip in all The other candidates TO support the
nomination of Mr. Van Buren,. We say that
the editor Of the Globe, in the very article on
which we are now commenting, has again pur-
posey thrown suspicion over this point OF the
subject. He says that the statement he has
published has either been directly or indirectly
youched for by all present at the conversation ;
and from one of whom (he does not say which, he
has received lhese particulars" IL was due to Mr..
Buchanan, that gen'le'nan's name having been
ndecen,ly, aud without any manner of authority,
introduced into a subject in which he could have
no interest, but which, in truth could only have
the effect of injuring him both socially and poll
tcally, that the editor Of the Globe should have
distinctly stated that he had been fooisbly led
by the excitement of the moment into the com
mission of an offence toward the Senator from
Pennsylvania, which he regretted. The edit r
Of the Globe may have a code of manners for his
guidance unknown TO our limited comprehen-
sion but it strikes Us, that not only justice but
deceRoy required this explanation. Instead Of
making it, however, with little extra inge-
nuty, he gives a stronger color to his original
offence
The character Of such man as JAMES BIZ
cHANAN, Of Pennsylvania, becomes portion Of
The National possessions. Long distinguished in
the Senate ofthe United States as one ofihe abIes
debaters Of that able body; spoken Of vely gen
orally as candidate for the most exalted Of
fee which any man on earth can reach sus-
tanned not only to-day, but certain 10 be sustain
ed hereafter, if nominated by the party, by the
twenty votes of the next largest State in the
Union, he is, nevertheless, 10 crafty the malig-
nant passions of Mr.. Francis p. Blair, TO be
held up not only as an example to all gentle
men in Washington to beware of the extcI of a
pirate conversation with him, but he is also
made TO yield, by voluntary act of the most
ridiculous sycophancy, his eminent claims to the
supper, of the Democratic party, in favor of the
Democratic organs candidate, with that gen
tleman's almost certain prospect Of not only
losing his own Stale, but in doing so, Of yield
