The denuncatory course Of he Globe towards so

Is destroying the integrity " the party
Tho reckless character of that journal % displayed
in its resort to exploded Wing ISLANDERS for the pur-
pose Of destroying the standing Of Governor Porter
with the Democratic brethren Of the Union No one
knows better than Mr. Blair that the charges he Is
repeating against that funclonary, are false IN

fore him, both before and since Governor Porers
reelection, that those charges were manufacture.

lous organs Of the Wing pary-and that the one upon
which the Globe now principally relies for its ven

paraded in the columns Of press which arrogates to
itself the position Of the leading organ Of the Demo-
cratic party As that journal il, however, merely
pursuing its Of dsuniting the party by
laundering some Of its prominent leaderswe presume
that Gov. Porter has no right to complain. He is as
much above its cen ure he may well be regardless
Of its praise In its present unenviabe position the
one OF as little consequence the other Governor
Porter has been for thirty years active and jealous
member Of the party In that long period he has held
several public stations and mingled in all political
strfes. and il !, no small compliment to him to say
that he disappointed the expectations of his
friends swcrved from the principles Of his party
He was found in the ranks Of the friends Of the Illus
trious Jackson, when his INSCRIPTIONS delamer, the
editor Of the Globe, was endeavoring to elevate his
friend and relation" Mr.. Clay, to the Presidency.
Gov. Porter will shortly retire into private life, and he
will carry with him into that retirement the satisfaction
of knowing that the cslumnes with which il was at
tempted 10 suly his name have been dssIpaed by the
lights Of truth and that his character his services
and his devotion 10 the Democratic party will be
membered long after his slanderers have sunk into
msrited oblivion.
The Globe is likewise hurting il. shafts at our es-
Unable fellow-citzen, Judge BLYTHE. Even the pu.
rity Of his whole life, his amiaby Of character his
acknowledged talents, his devotion to the Democra-
tic party, and his undertaking patriotism, cannot
shield him from the venom Of that journal. We
know not whether the great sin committed by Judge
BLYTHE in the eyes OF the Globe, is his having be-
come the successor Of the slanderer Of Cen. JACK
and his estmabe wife, But this we DO know,
that such attacks upon one who enjoys in an eminent
degree the respect and confidence Of all who know
him, will be received with indignation wherever they
read.
Such conduct on the part Of journal which, from
its locality should be looked up the organ Of the
party, Is reprehensblc in the highest degree. The
Globe Is following closely in the footsteps Of IFS pre-
decessor, the Telegraph. When Gen. Green, the
editor OF the last named paper having become intox-
Gated with the layors sbowered down apon him
by the Democratic party, arrogantly assumed the
Office Of dictator, and attempted to place men
under the bans because they would not implicitly obey
his cd,cts, the party deserted him. Under these cir
cumsianocs Mr.. Blair was brought TO Washington, IN
the hope that the fate OF his predecessor would act

fatal to the harmony of The party But that hope has
