The WaSHlN0ION SloBE htAlN,
The remarks Of the senior editor of HIPS Patriot
published fortnight since IN relation To The false
charge and uDprosoked attack OF THIS eormorsnt ex
Official at Washington upon US, seems 20 have touch
ed lis reckless and grasping proprietors IN tender
spot The Globe Of March 80 contains over Jour
columns OF editorial, devoted expressly TO Mr. I'M
and his contracts with the Administration" TO which
do not now propose 10 reply at length, but shai
leave the whole tissue Of fasehood and msrepresen-
tation contained therein for the notice OF senior
absent, when he shall have returned to his place
The four-coiumned leader in the Globe Of March
80, is composed principally of statement over the
signature Of :. John O. Rrves," of the cormorant

the officers of the Post Office Department at Wash

for printing blanks at bids ranging less than onehrd
of the prices formerly received for similar work by
the Globe proprie,ors themselves Suffice II now 90
say that the libel originated by this same John e.
Rses and his partner, Francis Blair accusing the
Post Office Department and ourselves OF COLLISION

propreors they bid unnecessarily for the job which
succeeded in obtaining. just previous TO the de-

troublesome to the yagabond," (meaDng the senior
editor Of Hills Patriot then at Washington entering
our proposals) The result proved that our bids on
the States, ranged nearly toeny per cent less
than those of the lawyer State-prners, and that we
succeeded in obtaining the contract for fourteen
States and Territories.
The fact of success has proved sufficient in it.

BY a reference to the United States Official Regis
tiers published since the removal of F. r. Blair from
Kentucky TO Washington, il will be found that this
Shy lock has Toasted upon government pap'' to the
tune Of hundreds Of thousands Of dollars From beg
gar he has become immensely rich. Pampered with
the funds Of the Government, he ID arstocratc,
purse-proud and haughtygives his splendid parties,
riots in luxury, and rolls about in his coach drawn by
span Of elegant horses. His arrogance has ncreas-

the low and vulgar" he assumes to dictate to the
Democracy of the Union and TO teach them that 1t is

allegiance to him and to obey his edcts This is the
man who denies to the right Of obtaining honest

others, because our success will conflict with his in

pacious NAV already filled and re-flled with Go

one but the veres miser Yet, forsooth, the indus

The libel of the Globe upon the Post Office De-
