The Globe, indirectly and by inuendo, accuses
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Calhoun Of conspiring, by
secret mannuvres in the Senate" to destroy Mr..
Wan Buren's reputation. The baseness and pro-
iligacy Of such charge against men, on whose
personal honor SANDER mas not even yet dared
TO breathe. must excite astonshment. Reckless
as the Court Journal is, it should have more pru-
dence than to make assertions, the falsty of which
every man at once acknowledges to De - mon
strOus, gross aud palpable."
The great question Of the Tariff is now before
the Senate, in all its bearings. Mr.. hayne re-
piled to Mr.. Clay's Introductory speech on Mon
day, it is said, most ably and eioqueu,ly. His

follows

ported from foreign countries be 50 reduced that
the amount Of the public revenue shall be sufici
ent to defray the expenses ofgO.ernment. aCcO d.
ing to their present scale, after the payment of
the public debt; and that. allowing a reasonable
time for the gradual uctioR OF the present high
duties on the articles coming into competitionwith
similar articles made or produced In the United
States, the duties be ultimately equai<ed, that
the duties on no article shall, as compared with
the value Of that article vary materially from the
general average"
The subject has been postponed to Monday
next, when Mr.. Dckerson. of New Jersey, has
the floor. We shall publish Mr.. Haynes speech
as soon as it is reported in the Washington pa
pers. We intend to give two or three Of the
ablest speeches ON both sides of the question:
In this way our readers will have the subject
fairly before them, without being compelled to
wade through all that may be said.

tina, since the nomination of Mr.. Writ. we have
heard tess Of Anti. Masonry than we did for long
time before. That event has, So it would seem,
materially ml,igated the fever. Would it not be !
the part Of wisdom to give UP this business alto
gether, and not persist in forcing Mr.. Writ to /
retain station which he is, no doubt, now sorry
he ever accepted?
