on his alleged facts his ridiculous romances One
thing, however, he has DONE for which would thank
him. if he had possessed suclea. candor TO confess his
own misstaemens. As showed In our article OF

Jackson advising Messrs Blair Rives not 10 trust

at MIR. Cameron. the contemplated purchaser in whom
no confidence to be reposed.
Mr. Ryes is attempting establish connexion between
Mr. Cameron and ourself Now, he has told great
many things OF which had previous knowledge.
We never knew anything, for example, OF the $5O 900
deposited with Mr.. Cameron's Middleton bank by the
administration OF Mr. Tyler. We repeat. for all,
that II Mr. Cameron advanced cent towards the pur
chase of the Globe knew nothing of it, To this day
Maj Hess never informed from what he derived
his funds for paying the instruments for the Globe He
has decately yet firmly declined to inform u.s. though
we have recently published the assertion his author
ty that he did not obtain the money from Mr. Cameron.
Major H. had previously engaged TO advance the money
for He the business partner Of the frm and
looked to him exclusively for these advances. They
were made BY our worthy partner; but whence derived
was fact which he carefully kept from us. Mr. Rives
is therefore utterly at fault when he asks whether it
not Mr.. Cameron who made the "still bril-
liant offer" to which referred Still more of course
is he laundering when he intmates that knew was
'the identical $50 900 Of treasury money which was in
the control OF Cameron that was offered to" (us)
We say then tho whole stnry "a now told bv Mr.
Rives, is mere romance. We leave it to Mr.. Tyler
and to Mr.. Cameron to clear up the mystery which
he has created and for that purpose we shall send
to Mr.. Tyler the article from the Globe which calls
forth these remarks We suspect the truth OF the story
which represents Mr. Tyler making overues to Mr..
Polk to withdraw from the canvass if he would turn
his back upon the Globeas assisting then to get up
paper take the place of the Globe. and for that
purpose depositing $4,000 in Mr. Cameron's hands We
do not believe that Mr. Polk had the slightest collision
with Mr. Tyler upon the establishment of an official paper
in this city Certain it is, that the whole OF this story

alleged transactions until this brilliant oracle revealed them
in the Globe Of Tuesday last but skeptic enough
believe that Mr. Rves has drawn almost entirely upon
his Imagination for his facts Certain is, that if he has
