THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.

The Globe, of yesterday, in laboring very in
geniously to dsparage the pretensons of Messrs
Cass, Buchanan, Calhoun and johnson, at
tempted TO disguise its purpose in The smoke o.
"A discharge of blank cartridge AT US. IL sets ou'
under the following solemn declaration:
.Tbe Administration at Washington, which is
bent on the Reorganization Of everything hut the or
ganzation Of the Office holders, has, through It's ON
ciaI organ again and again thrown Out intimations
that the national Democratic convention cannot SET
tie BY its nomination, the rivalry between the Demo
cratic candidates. II dspai ages the convention IN
advance"
We need not say TO our readers that the Globe
asserts what il knows to be untrue. We will
admit that, with the best Of motives, we were
induced to suggest plan, as last resort TO
prevent disruption, (,hould the exgency ever
occur) to settle all the difficulties between the
friends of the different candidates. But the
suggestion was denounced by the Giobe (apd
we desire il TO be remembered hereafter) and then
we unhesitatingly loithdrep it. We not only
Withdrew the suggestion, but resolved al Inc
same time, (unless circumstances subsequently
should require another course) henceforh mol
to interfere in the CONTROVERSY about The mode
solution, as the Globe well knows, and
"We don't care a toss-up
Whether Nossop beats Barry or Barry beats MossoP >
We prefer to FURNISH our armor and strength
en- our arms, for the serious contest with the
common enemy in 1874, rather than TO expend
our strength and ammunition in the inglorious
family chickering's which the Globe co much de-
IL .nA with The
hope of getting the Congressional printing
that, mercenary like, its pay may be received
before any real service is performed.
What i, said about the Office holders is sheer
fabrication.
The truth is, the Globe is doing all it can 10
break down the Democratic party. Ii is con-
,inually, necessarily, exclusively, assaing De-
mocrats and Democratic journals. One day a
distinguished Democratic statesman is dragged
to the siaken-lhe next some able Democratic
press is "run over rough shod."
Nothing but Democratic men and Democratic
presses are the objects of denunclation by the
editor of the Globe. Ii there be no fault in
those he determines TO discard" he manages
by some conlrivance to pick quarrel with them,

And such is the duty performed by the Globe
for the party which has bestowed on il nearly a
million Of dJlars. 1t never assails Wing men
or Wing inca sures-nor condescends TO win
converts from the enemy by sound reasoning
and conciliatory language-but its whole time
its whole space, its entire energies, are devoted
10 the one all-absor bling, all-engrossing object
reading Democratic men and Dsm"rr"i''
presses out Of the party
To this Systematic diminishing process, or
the part of the Globe, many OF our ablest states
men attribute the defeat in lS40-and if il b,
persisted in (should that priut be recognized 81
an organ,) they have every reason to anticipat,
similar result in lS4i And such a resul
they are determined TO avoid if possible. w,
do not speak unadvisedly.
But, as we stated, the Globes article wa,
mainly designed to disparage General Cas-, &c
For the last six weeks some of the Globes poll
teal serfs, in Columbiana County, Ohio, IN ODE

worthy endeavor to get up an " astounding de
