THE DEMOCRATIC ORGAN.

The Globe establishment has passrd from Mes
srs. BLAIR and RIvEs to Messrs R1TcHIE and
HEIss; and on the first of May the veteran of the
Enquirer, known TO every body, and beloved and
con6ded In by the whole democratic party, will
go to Washington to conduct the organ of the new
Administration In his short valedictory Mr
Blair says:
"It has been the misfortune Of the Globe, in
sustaining the strong administration Of Gen Jack
son-Ihe une1mpromising administration of MIR.
Van Buren-and in opposing the abuses Of Me-.
TYleT's administration. to make enemies OF some
who united with the democracy in lis last struggle.
The interest OF the cause requires that all who
contributed 10 the election of the present Chief
Magistrate should continue to give their support.
Ii is the good fortune of the conductor of the new
official organ not 10 have offended any portion of
those whose adhesion to the party is necessary to
its safety and success. We have unbounded con-
6dence in the ability, integrity and patriotism OF
the man who is now TO preside over the establish
ment, and shall consider ourselves amply compen-
stated for the sacrifice we are now called on to
make, if our anticipations of the continued union
and success of the democracy shal be realized by
the official journal, under its new name and new
auspices. We cannot express our gratitude to the
democracy, to whom we owe eveTythlng.
The democracy owe many thanks to Mr.,Bair.
Uniting as he did, with the first order of talent
a vein of principles as incorruptible as. his own
energies were elastic and indefatigable, he has
commended long and we'll" for the good cause,
and retifes with a name too brigh: and high to be
tarnished by the calunlnes and maledictons of bis
foes. We wish him and his excellent friend, Mr..
Rires, many years of prosperity and happiness.
And THOMAS RrTcH1E-the cotemporary oil
the great men of other days-the friend and pupil
of Jeferson-who is it that has not the most un-
bounded confidence In his ability, integrity, and
patriotism He goes to Washington untram'
melIed to speak the truth for the party and to the
party. Too generous and scornful of gold 10 be
corrupted by it, and too devotcHy attached to the
country to be ambitious of its preferments and
honors he will stand forth, in our opinion, as the
true organ of democracy, as he will be the best
and safest defender of the administration of the
peoples President.
