well, since South Carolina waged her nuiiying war
against the Union"
The Globe, as il resolved TO carry the war
into africa, day or two after, came out with
another diatribe, from which we extract the
following.
ave like the argumentum ad Aoninem sometimes
Does Mr.. Calhoun remember the Handkerchief case
The word Rip Raps will awaken his recollectons.
He will recollec that he was strongly suspected OF
being dormant partner in the contract ior ouiid-
ing the fortress on which, probably, million has
been sunk at the Rip Raps, and that his first clerk,
Vandeventer, was clearly convicted OF holding an
important interest in H. and dismissed from office BY
Mr. Barbour. Mr.. Calhoun thought il all right that
his confidential agent and friend should avail MIN
self Of his position in the War Office 10 grow rich
by contracts. He gave proof OF this, by making II
his first and most pressing suit TO General Jackson,
oncoming to the Presidency-tha Pandsrsafer should
be restored 70 Ais place in tie Har Office.
From the date Of this last extract, up the
September, 1887, the columns Of the Globe
teemed with assaults upon the political and
moral character, as well as honor and integ-
rity of Mr.. Calhoun. The Globe asserted,
that Mr.. Calhoun ,rotld resort 10 a falsehood
,vhen the truth pould better ans,ser his pur-
pose,
Who, that has not Witnessed the fact, could
believe that these antipodes have come to-
gether, and are now exerting themselves in
the same cause No one, it appears to US.
To be sure, there was some coyness on the
part of Mr.. Calhoun, in the commencement
ofthe courtship that ended in the nuptial en-
brace. He said that he could not but hesitate
in joining party in ,rhose f,mness, honesty
and patriotism he had no reason to confde
The accession to their ranks Of this great
Southern leader, was hailed by the Globe and
its affiliated presses with "JoY AND GRAFT
TUDE" The Globe shortly after commenced
its panegyrics to the patriotism of Mr.. Cal
houn, and his multiplying associates in Con-
gress!
1t may be well asked, what has operated to
bring about SO extraordinary unionl What
is it that has wrought this extraordinary phe-
nomenon, this amalgamaton of oil and water,
Of fire and gunpowder We answer-THE
SUB-TREAsURY!
No longer ago than the 30th ultimo, the
Globe contained an article, from which we
take the following;
" To Mr.. CALHOUN ARE WE INDEBTED FOR ONE OF THE
STRONGEST ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR THE ESTABLISH
MENT AN INDEPENDENT Treasury We GIVE THE
CREDIT WHERE DUE" a.. .. ID
One of the strongest arguments against the
Sub-treasury scheme, probably to be found is
in the foregoing. If it possess the charm to
bring together and unite. (which it evidently
has done in the case of Mr.. Calhoun and the
partizans Of the Globe,) those who have been
charged by each other with Treason, Revolu-
ton, and Of being accessory to an attempt to
assassnate the Chief Magistrate of the Union,
then is it more dangerous, and more to be
dreaded than the tabled wand Of the Magician.
We shall recur to the subject Of the Globes
