II is homely adage that % set beggar on horse
back, and he II ride TO the d" This adage has
been verified in New Hampshire, in the persons Of
the destructive awyer-clique who have manufactured
news and peculiar Democratic tests for the Democra-
cy of the Granite State. No were more hum
bic and unpretending than Hubbard, and UaMer. and
Gore, and Burke, and jack Hale and indeed the whole
train Of Federal lawyer-Democrsts in that State
when they first made pretences to Democracy but
the old Federalists Of the Hartford Convention were
not more supereiIious, tyrannical, and oyerbearDp
than are now these preenders, who have lately been
brought out in their Of ultra Democracy. If
reports from Kentucky speak truly, no mendicant
was humble and submissive and sub.
servient than Francis T. Blair, when he first broke
from the association and politicians in that State who
the gallant State to the uses Of the Eastern Federal
lists in that Presidential election which brought toge-
Their the Puritan and the Backlog The Democrats of
that East who have taken up and patronized the
Globe for the sake Of principle, have wondered tina,
the influence Of the Globe in the West has ALWAYS
been adverse to the Democracy; that ever since
Francis P. Blair was the Democratic organ, the
Democratic party in Kentucky and at the
the points where he might be supposed to ex-

moe helped the cause Of Henry Clay in Kentucky,
as the professed friend Of the Democracy at Wash

But your personal relations both at home and in
the Federal city, your successful alms-askng of Uni
ted States Bank men there, and your apparent deyo
ton to principle for long here while entirely
dependent the friendship and exertons of the true
Democracy, are now well explained Never had
we stronger illustration of the truth of the homeIy
adage than in your person since you first became re-
sidept in Washington in lS29-3O While in state IF
penury here while obliged rely on the generosity
of friends upon this ground for your daily subsi.-
tence, the Globe Stood or appeared to stand the
true representative of the Democracy since its
nual income from the public printinghas exceeded
hundred thousand dollars, and tire largest half has
been clear profits, the beggar horseback has as
sumed airs, in the name Of the Democracy, which
only need be sesn to be fathomed, and, when fully
understood, will be equal object Of detestation
and adherence, as the worst Hartford Convention
Federalism.
What, for example, could better prove this posi-
ton than one of the quotations have made 10 rela-
ton to the controversy introduced by the new Demo-
cratic tests set up by the destructive Federal awers
