SECOND REPLY TO THE GLOBE.


s,s Since left my home, In New Hampshire, !
have not met solitary number Of your daily Globe
that has not done the honor to mark me- as the most
prominent among your political sinners OF the pre-
sent day. Before did leave you had gone out OF
your way TO make the subject of your repeated
attacks, at first insidously that you might afterwards
openly denounee me as reProbate, renegade, and
a traitor. As have de med you of too little conse-
quence, believing your motives were well fathomed
as far as you were known TO follow and read you day
by day SO your position makes II mere matter OF
ex ence at a convenient season. when other busi-
ness did not interrupt to say to the world that your
hitherto dsproved misrepresentation and falsehoods
ought no more to be regarded than those which are
already palpable and without dispute.
A + lend who had gathered them up, placed, on
Saturday in my hands your Globe for the last fort
night, with the exception of three four numbers.
In each Of all the seven papers my conduct and
course is the subject of your especial yuperstion
and abuse if you had not connected me with others
for the purpose of impeaching them public men,
would not on his ground, repeat the offence of again
attempting to disabuse the public by connecting
your name with any article over my signature. Your
vndicliye hatred, your trepidation and fear the
|
som, the eager appetite for wealth which increases
with every new indulgence, and which impels you 10
acts Of shameless recklessness and the sacrifice
Of truth and friendship, may be gathered from short
sentences taken almost indiscriminately from seven
numbers of the Globe, before me, follows
"Mr. HIPS long and arduous and useful labors in
the of Democracy had for years impressed him
on our mind with high and patriotic consideration
| "The sentiments Of respect in which we held Mr..
| Hill were warmed into personal attachment by the
interest he took IN promoting The circulation Of the Globe
We considered the measure of his reputation
full and that the press might boast Of having given
another name like FRANKLss, gathering patriotic re-
| collections to g,ace the annals Of our country.
" How painfully, lamentably, deplorably, have
we been disappointed in granite Democrat He
dabbles in dirty banks, &c.- Globe, March %.
TO such men Isaac IIill, John Page, John
H. White, SC. now boiling outright from the regu-
lar nomination." &c.--Extract in Globe March 30.
Hill, since he sold himself thinks there is cor
ruption in every bargain and sale. Globe, March 80
T" In John Tyler the democracy of New Hampshire
have found an open, undisguised, and unprincpled
opponent and his name associated with that of Isaac
Hill is doomed to infamy. "-Erfracf in Globe, 4pril g.

These extracts are taken only my excuse TO the
thousands who do not read the Globe, for making
my bow TO you this )nd time in tie columns Of
the Madisonan. | will not trouble the readers
of the Madsonian further in relation to the matter
in New Hampshire, which has called forth your re-
peated gratuitous attacks and condemnation; but
will only this occasion, defensively, notice you so
far to convince every reader who seeks for the
truth, that the foul collision" Of the Postmaster
General, in which you say he " violated the law"
put under foot the rights of individuals" and
sacrificed the public interest" is pure invention
of your own bran-a chmera wrought into a reality
in your imagination from your desire 10 grasp and
failure TO hold on to, more gains from the public
property than your could hold.
n roiaion Of the ia,o where the law is so literally
followed that the Postmaster General did ex-
ercise the discretion of varying especially provided by
the law rdpling upon ndriduairghs, where no in
dvidual produce the color of proof tina, his law
full bid that was entitled to acceptance not re-
ceivod the public interest sacrificed where contract
Is completed of public service TO the annual amount
say Of ten thousand dollars, which, taking the lowest
price which the accuser and judge, (Bair with his
plant, ready, and willing witness (ltives) ever
performed similar service, would have cost the
public at least twenty thousand dollas Truly, Mr..
Blair, must you believe the people Of the United
States set Of the veriest dupes f you entertain
the idea for moment, that you can produce the i'm
preston that you speak the truth, when you charge
r a.
Lawn upon the Postmaster General in the transaction
TO which you allude.
Having asserted this foul collision, ," violation
Of the law" and what not your process of es,ab-
fishing your charges is less ingenious than II is
plain and simple You call in as a witness party
in interest," who is ever ready 10 affirm what is neces
sary to prove your case and if, from accident or
other cause, he fails to do this you do not hesitate
to take for granted and supply from your invention
whatever your ingenious witness has omitted from
forgetfuness.
You continue TO harp upon and misrepresent the
" conditional" bid made by Hill and Sons and in
sist that il " combination bid made contrary
TO law. On inquiry Of late POSTMASTER General
and the First Assistant in relation to this matter,
instructed by both Of them TO say that the bids Of
Hill & Sons not combination bids but precisely
such conditional and separate bids had been received
and accepted since the law of Congress forbidding
combination bids in the of proposals for carry
| ing mails had been enacted. The combination bid
applied only TO group where the lowest separate
bidder might be excluded the conditional and separf,
| bid would only hold where IL was below the lowest
separate bid for any Of the group to which applied
! ! will not accuse your man Rives of intentional
and wanion falsehood, Of grade Of intellect ready
to believe all your promptings where his own inte-
rest was no less concerned than yours il is not won
derful that, as the result Of his long examination Of
