From Mr.. Underwood's speech in the H. R., in 1886
THE GLOBE "PoLEcAT."
"These editors, without the least shame, will
accept bride in the shape OF patronage from the
hand of power, and then turn and villly those
whom they have eulogsed, and, with the servility
of slaves, fat1er those whom they have abused
and cursed. 1t is their vocation to endeavor TO
bring suspicion and odum upon every one who
will not worship their idol and hence it is that
corrupt and brbed press teens with the gross
est calumnies against the purest and best men in
the nation. | do not consider this the proper
place to notice the falsehoods which editors may
print and publish with view to ruin my reputa-
ton; and | regret that any gentleman, in the
course of this or any other debate, should have
deemed it proper to consume time by noticing the
statements Of the Globe. would as soon think
of descending to the level of poecat, and waging
war with that animal. In such a contest, how
ever successful man may be, he is very apt to
remain in bad odor, even with his friends, for a
long time after it is ended"
Mr.. CALHOUN, on Monday, February 2, 1885,
speaking of the Globe, said, There were some
things which, taken in themselves, were of so
little importance as not to be entitled to notice.
Is Whatever might be the character of
the paper (Globe) from which the paragraph
just read had been taken; however low, how
ever degraded its character might be, ii was yet
known to be the organ Of the Executive will,
and that it was sustained, pampered by, and de-
pendent upon that branch Of the Government"
On the 23d Of May, 1886, Mr.. PIcKENs, of S.
c., speaking Of F. P. Blair, said, He is base,
groveling cur, who fawns at the footstool Of
power, and fats upon the spittle Of party-a par
ty cormorant Of the spoils."
Mr.. PIcKENs, it is well known, speaking of
Mr.. Blair, described him as "a galvanized
CORPSE
On the 10th Of April 1886, Mr.. WISE called
the attention of the House to an article in the
Globe, and said, the Globe of yesterday stated
editorially, that he (Mr. W. objected to the pre-
sentation of petition by the gentleman from
Massachusetts,. This so far from being true
was total perversion of the facts as they occur
red.''
He offered this explanation because the Globe
attempted to connect its false statement with
another falsehood,'' &C., and declared that any
and all such limitations, by whomsover made"
(such as the Globe had made "where false

He hoped that the Globe reporters would note
these remarks, in order that the Globe might re-
cord the Evidence Of its 6aseness in its oacn
columns"
We might add scores to these brands upon the
Globe man, which have been put upon him, from
time to time, in the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentatives, had we time to look them up; but the
above will suffice for the present We may
amuse ourselves hereafter, possibly, with copying
and presenting similar testimonials of the crea-

Speaking of the murder Of the Duke d Enghien
by order of Buonaparte, Talleyrand is reported
to have said "C'etat plus qu'un crime, c'etat
une faute" " 1t was worse than crime, it was
