ISAAC HlLL-THE GLOBE.

Every body who reads he political papers,
knows that the Globe has recently charged Isaac
Hill with being corrupted by the Admnistra-
tion-wiIh having been purchased with Pos,
Office printing, &c, &c. Such charges have
been copied by the Pennsyvanian and Enquirer,
(the Democratic presses generally have long
ceased to copy anything from the Globe, }
aud thousands of honest readers have been de-
ceived. Row, we give Mr.. Huns statement,
and we submit it to those presses, if they are
not bound, in honor, to copy ii? Let the coun-
try read it. II riH be seen hat The Globe icas
bidder also for The printing.
From HiHs Patriot.
Evil is he who evil thinks.n If Mr.. Blair be-
lieyes that course has been changed by any pa
tronage of the Post Office Department or tie frea-
sury Department, he must have formed that opinion
from the effect which such patronage would work in
his own bosom and by parity of reasoning, as he
has been the recipient Of hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars while occupying position which he pleas
to designate the "mere tool of the Administration
the fear that he will not regain that position in any
new administration that shall not up to all his
ultra notions prompts him TO present hostility TO all
the democratic acts of the existing Administration
IL Mr.. Bair had an enemy that desired Of him an
advantage Of argument he could not well furnish
better weapon than is contained in the above extract
The mslignity and meanncss of the attack upon
man who has been more efficient friend OF the
Globe while the Globe pursued an honest democratic
course than any other individual in New England
can only be appreciated by those who undo rstand all
the facts.
What do Me Sis. Blair and Rives mean by the
patronage Of the Post Office Department" and Of
the Treasury Department which has converted
Isaac Hill to the Webster and Tyler faith and made
MA her, D..
the tool of tn, Administrator IL they mean
any thing by this accusation they that we have
been purchased by the Job of furnishing blanks &C.
which we have lately obtained .No,o, among the bid
ds or Ibis JOB for erery Siaie in The U,sion Of
the proprisiors Of N, great Globe itself the business man
and sole manager Of that establishment In all the con
tracts obt,incd, Mr.. Blair knows that his partner
Hives uniformly ranged only from fifty cents a dol
lar in ream above our bid and he knows full well
that in all these il his bid had been below ours
they and not would have obtained the contracts
and the patronage which he alleges has corrupted US
and made the hitherto "inoorruptible New Hamp- |
shire Patriot the mere tool Of the Administrator
" One man may steal a horse, but another man |
may look over a hedge" We were aware at The |
latter part Of our late visit at Washington that two
Of our radical members Of Congress were much wor- |
ried that likely to obtain tins post-ofice |
and Mcssrs. Blair s. Rives sympathised
with them, being disappointed bidders or the same con-
frocf. They all considered 1t a great sin that we
should bid for a contracts what would they have not
said II we had obtained contracts from mere favor
lt'sm, without bidding Suppose we had obtained,
Tor instance, the supply Of the New England States
At double the price for which obtained them as
The lowest bidder' This would have been no worse
han Blair and Rives have done in other caces--it
would have been than the contracts for the
ame blanks given for many years to the Messrs
Green, OF Boston, and TO Cyrus Barton, Of Concord
md continued TO them for than a year after
