From The Richmond Enquirer, Mas i.
With fall olr disposition 10 sacfiAce every
thing upon the altar of our party. and to unite
with the Globe IN act and in spirit for The promo
lion Of The Republican cause, We muStsrankfy
tell the Globe thatlhere is no press 10 Ibis coun-
Try which is able 10 dictate 10 US We have gene

but we regret TO see lie firs,evdepce Of his con-
valescerce in This singular effort 10 cast slur,
not only upon ourselves, bat Upon some of the
most Distinguished Republicans in Virginia
We must take The liberty Of telling him, and al
so our political ard personal friend, General
Dromgeole, that they are posting toathcir con-
perhaps, what is passing unAer their own eyes

They were perfectly nh5cqua inted With theaoir-
cumstshces under Which4his resolution was SUBJ
mFed, as a compromise resolution, by its dis

have bden taken to ii, the very last thing that
could have been said against il was me slightest
Idisposifon to fall in with any pallry intrigue at
Washington. Bnt i would have been
rather more respectful in the Globe 10 suppose
THAT, however we may have been mistaken in
Ithe course we have pursued, the frierds of the
resolution had fome motives which were al least
satisfactory to themselves. By what auhorily
does The Globe express the epnhn which ii is
pleased TO sport before the publcs Why. in
this of-handed manner, and without the slight
est evidence, does il suspect or our friends Of
being "dupes" TO miserable inlIisne al Wash
