This is the head and front Of Mar Brownsops Of

penetration into motives, fluids conclusive evidence,
that this eminent gentleman has been bribed for
several years past by the wings to utter pestilcn
opinions for the purpose of breaking down the de-
mocratic party" " We believed them" lin lS4O,)

We" we''-Mr. F. P. Blair Of the G'obc-is
convinced of this-convinced that man, eminent as
thinker Of abilities acknowledged not only in Anne
RIGA but in Europe, where MIR. Blair probably mover
was, nor never will be heard of, gentleman, scho
lar, and Christian the atchets of whose shoes the
editor of the Globe is unworthy to unite has been
vereignty and General Jackson's opinions thereon.
What evince more ptiable state of lunacy than
this language and this belief, imply if real? and il
this conviction Of Mr. Blair be expressed TO deceive
others, and to injure fellow creature, worthy good
man, what but state of mental ami moral depravity
could have impelled to such brutal malice? Yet who
believes that MIR. Blair really entertains the opinion
OF Mr. Brownson here expressed and whom does he
imagine near his own state of maddened bigOtry,
that he be persuaded into the belief which here
SO confidently expressed, without single reason to
sustain il We can readily suppose that any one
who has surrendered himself to MT. Richie, Mr..
Blair and few other kindred old women of the par
ty, should entertain the conviction, the former gen.
tiemen has recently expressed it, that one halt Of
the majority tcho pOted against Mr. Pan Buren, bribed
and the other halt intoxicated ,oith cider ?" but
say that except hr BLAIR, there is not another man
in the United States who believes what he here says
of Mr. Brownson-certanly, other would
have valued his reputation little as 10
have made such assault uon a good
mans character. This is one Of those
voting examples oil coarseness and magnity, to
which we had referred, when said some time ago
that the personal violence and proscrptve spirit Of
the Globe were one OF the heaviest mstones, which
the late Presidential contest hung about the neck
OF the Administration, impaired its utility and tend
ed to defea: Mr.. Van Buren's election. Who in the
country but feels dlshonored, when the gnobls
omous reptiles whose miserable deiornties Of mind
alone make them distnguishabe, set in high
places, given authority, and allowed, with the weight
of official name TO emboiden them, to raw over and
defie the regulations of mem Who but deprecates
the election OF President whose patronage is des-
tined to revtalize the furnishing hyenas, Olives, and
carrion crows, who follow the party march, simply
to fill their bellies with what they can obtain by
stealth or by vioencei Whattrue-hearted American
but bushes at the thought, that the low, abusive,
and we may ADJ the llliteratc spirit of the Washing
ton Globe should express the official voice Of his
country We see that the reputation brought upon
the press OF country, by caumnious and violent
presses, like the paper 10 which we alude, has be-
the scorn OF all intelligent foreigners, who point
at II evidence OF national depravty and perpet-
ually declining character.
The article in the Globe which makes this wanton
assault upon Mr. Brownson fully sustains the strong
language which we have USED. Consider the reck-
less nsensbility which could dictate charge Of bri
berry, founded certain specuIations of MIR Brown
son, abstract in their character that few will read
or appreciate them, and which Mr.. Blair ccniesses
that he has ner,r read!
Brotcnson Says the writer of the Globe) has re-
Gently published article in the Democratic Re-
view, stuffed with all the high toned arstocrstc as
sumption-al that derogation from the popular IN
teligence and virue-whIch characterizes federalism
We hare not read this otcfe, but gather its traits from
the notices Of the public press. We look upon II to be
silly to follow such wandering lights Mr. Brown
son, as to travel after ignis fatuus in swamp
We took the trouble 10 read Mr. Brotcnsons Mcu-
brations eren mhen he pretended to be democrat
What an exquisite sense of truth. VagarIes and
parsdoxes never have any attraction for US. They
in fact, rep,isre utterly unrue ct zoe dad not
look into Mr.. Bro,onson's late rersion II Inc federal
doctrines, avowcd by him, although it would al
forded opportunity Of returning to our political
opponents the favor they did US in uputins Brown
