WHO WILL BE THE GLOBES NEXT
VICTIM.

WITHIN.
More than two years ago, when the GLOBE
commenced its series of graluitous and unPro-
voked assaults on the President and his friends
and boldly asserted that if Mr. Van Buren, were
not the candidate the party would be defeated
and would deserve to be defeated, we warned
Mr.. Blair of the impolcy of his "riding over
rough-shod" and dragging to the stake" sys
TEN, and predicted that the harsh means adopt
ed by him "to secure the printing" would close
him the President" The result has verified
the prediction.
Again Mr.. Blair is playing for the printing,
TO be secured next spring. again he is attack
ing President Tyler and his friends without
cause and again, if he should get the printing,
he will ruin the fortunes of his favorile candl-
date for the Presidency in 1913. This may be
a winning game for Mr.. Blair, but it is death to
Messrs. Van Buren, and Wright!

Lectures on Eiocution.-On THURSDAY evening Pro-
lessor Whitney gave his first lecture az the Assembly
Rooms to an intelligent and attentive audience. His
reputation and brilliant in other cities Of the
Union had excited high expectations here, which we
venture TO affirm were more than realized 10 every
one present. Al his commencement there was diff
hdeoce oil manner approaching umidity, which
however soon gave way TO perfect sefposses-
SOM and voice, attitude and tone gave evidence
OF master IN the art. His eucidatons Of the
principles OF the science were simple and easy Of

TO pronounce Mr. Whitney's effort as incomparab,
superior TO that Of ether. The oppression OF South

tertained his audience with many humorous pieces,

wonderful compass Of voice-his gestures ire the
