mr. Dlair- and the Globe. no


Whatever, compensation may be found
in the acquisition of such new editcrshipi
for the government organ as that Of Mr..
Richie and Major Donaldson, neverthe-1
less it is impossible to part with Mr.. Blair,
in that capacity--it isimpossible to see the
Globe pass out of existence-without an
emotion tf more than ordinary regret; an
emotion which viii be shared by thousands
of the best and truest Democratic hearts in
the lahd,---and BY none more deeply than
by that which still, at the Hermitage, beats
warm and high with love for its country,
in aframe day BY day faster and faster sink I
ing into grave long since diyestcd Of
every terror. sa


This change Of ssorganship' at Wash
inston is, indeed, a matter Of the most am
liable arrangement, upon which all parties
agree with ready and cheerful acquies-
cence. The expediency which, for the
sake Of the general concord Of all sections
Of the Democratic Party in support of the
Administration, made it, in the view Of
some, desirable that this change should be
carried into effect, is perfectly appreciated,
as we are informed, on the part Of Mr..


Blair and his own most confidential friends;
with whose advice he acted, in withdraw


ing cheerfully, and we may say voluntarily,
from his position at the head Of the G'ote,


and, indeed, in sacrificing the existence Of


that paper, 10 the harmony Of the Democ-


racy and the interests OF tie Administra-


ton. In regard 10 his successor, Mr..
Blair frankly avows that


ss1'hc interest Of the cause requires that
all who contributed to the election OF the


present Chief Magistrate should continue


to give their support. II is the good for


tune of the conductor Of the new official
organ not to have offended any portion Of
those whose adhesion to the party is ne
cessary to its safety and success. Wehave


unbcnnded confidence in tlIe ability, integ-


rity, and patriotism of the man who is now


to preside over the establishment, and shah
consider ourselves amply compensated for
/. the sacrifice we areEow called on TO make,
I if our anticipaiions cf'the continued union


and success Of the democracy shall be real
izel by the official journal, under IFS new
1 name and new auspices.


/ On the other hand, Mr.. Richie rs un.
4 bounded in his expressions Of respect and


confidence in regard to Mr.. Blair, whose
!. withdrawal from the press Of Washington
, he views with regret equal to that Of any
Of his friends; and in his gratitude for ths
, manly and friendly liberality which ha.
, marked the conduct OF Messrs. Blair ant
. R;ves through the whole affair.


! If in preference to any ether gratifica
/ ton Of personal ambition, Mr.. Blair's choic,
is to retire to the quiet retreat of his farm
in the reighborhood Of the capitol, he ma,
be assured that he is attended there witt
! the most cordial respect, confidence an'
: regard fthe great mass Of the party Who's
S principles he has so long and so gallantl,
, maintained. We are happy to learn, tha
/ early in May, as soon as he is relieved a
his present post, it is Mr.. Blair's intentio


70 make tour Of travel, by way Of relax

! should be Of the company, the more Ii
n merrier. as sd ,hs1 ~
