could induce that print to charge US with

trouble to turn back to our version of what the
Globe said, and what the Globe did really
say On the 29th ul,imo we said:
" The Globe informs US. that next winter, If
in executing the decree Of the Supreme Court in
the case Of the Missionaries. the Marshal should
be RESIST ED by force Of arms, that even then the
case is not such as will authorize the President
to take any part in executing Its Judgment unless
sHE coNoURs ENTIRELY WITH The CoURr."-
This outrageous doctrine, subversive at once Of
the Constitution and liberties Of this country, is
thus openly preached and will be acted out"
The following is the article from the Globe on
which the above statement is founded:
From the Globe Of September %.

The Court must proceed to execute its judgment
directly. through its own officer, the Marshal Of
the United States, or indirectly, by proceeding
AGAINST the State Judges for a contempt. in re-
fusing to obey the mandate, with view to coerce
obedience to it. And it is only IN case the pro-

proceeding against the State Judges shall be ar

the posse comiidtus ia, unable to contend with,

any part in executing its judgments.
We will not insult the good sense and intelli-
gence Of our readers BY Analysing the above ex-
tract, to show that we gave fair. candid and
a proper version Of it-that in ten lines we
embodied the substance, and the correct sub
stance Of the Globes article. We leave the ex
tract without comment, and it will show with
hat justice the man who Penned it can dare to
accuse US Of misrepresentiug him.

turn aside to notice such things as these, COM
ins from such polluted sources. II is one OF the
miseres Of an editor. His profession brings him
in contact with those whose touch he would shun
as the epor's. 1t is murtitying, but unavoida-
6le. 1t is some consolation, however, that in
the performance Of an honest duty, he can strip
and expose the pretensions OF vice, and some
times hold up to merited scorn and contempt such
creatures as the conductor of the Globe -one of

The following resolutions have beed unanl-
mously agreed to, at meeting Of the Union
Party in Charleston rs. c. They were offered
by Col. Drayton.
Whereas, we are citizens Of the United States
of Amerca-a free, sovereign independent and
powerful nation. recognised and respected by
every civilized people on the Globe; and where.
as nur alleuiapce to these United States is inn
mediate and direct, and of the most sacred obli-
CATION; and whereas, the doctrine OF Nuilltlca-
ton is an unconstitutional political heresy, sup
ported only by party in this State; and where
as, the Union of the States is regarded by US as
the source Of our national existence. OF our pre-
sent uhexamped freedom, prosperity and great.
ness; and as the best, If not the only safeguard
Of our liberties.
Ii IS therefore Resolred. That the Union Par
ty of ST. Philip and ST.. Michael, will be firm in
their allegiance to the United States, and will,
by all legal and constitutional means, resist any
act Of Modification.
