THE GLOBE.

The Richmond Enquirer copies an article
from the Federal Union, in which the following
passages occur:
g Is ii best to force the Administration with all its
power into the ranks of the Whigs' Are we pre-
pared to say to all who by the revolution of 1910
as the royaliss did to the regcidos Of France-thy
blood and nothing short Of thy blood shall atone for
the deed
1t is my opinion, that policy rejects such re-
venges, aud that the Globe, in its of passion
and tempestuous dsnuncation, is pursuing course
not only wrong in ITSELF but dangerous to the Demo
cratic party"
And in commenting on the article, the En-
quirer makes use of the following language:
:" We thank the Federal Union" for the manly
course il has thus pursued 1t is such spirit only,
as can preserve from present dissenson, and per-
haps from ultimate defeat"
