THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE.

The history of the world, probably, does
not reveal an alliance of so unholy character
as that ofthc Globe party and the arch nulliier
of the South. For seven long years have the
columns of the Globe teemed with the most
bitter denunciations Of that person. Now, no
one in the nation is more highly distinguished
for his patriotism and lore of country, in the
estimation Of the editor of the Globe, than its
new ally and idol, John c. Calhoun.
We grieve for our country, and its reputa-
ton abroad, when it is known, that the present
organ Of the government, which is now hug
ging to its bosom with a fraternizing embrace,
John C.. Calhoun, of whom during the year
1896, it spoke in the manner illustrated by
the extracts which we give below.
As if it had been gifted with the spirit Of
prophecy in advance, the Globe on the 18th
February, 1886, in referring to the proceed
ing in the Senate the day previous, said, "Mr.
Calhoun proclaimed auar an adraacs upon The
nsrt administration, AND LOUDLY ANSouNc-
ED IT'S CERTAIN OVERTHROW" In the same
article it said For one thing The democracy
Of The country 'oiH be thnkfm 10 Mr.. Cal
houn's riolence to-day, and that is, for giuing
us rieW Of The mode Of operating 10 b.o,o up
The nert administration. 1T is THE OLD
GAME OF A WAR ON THE URREN-
CY." How exact the prediction! The mode
of operating to blow up the administration, a
war on the currency And has not that war
BET AM And is il not now raging The war
on the currency! Yes. The prime leader
in that war is the very individual designated by
the Globe in 1886! And 10, that il is to be
told in Gath, and must be published in the
streets Of Askeon The Globe and its follow
ers are his adjuncts in carrying on that war
That if persisted in, will accomplish the OBJ
ject, the Globe declared Mr.. Calhoun in 1886
had in view, blow up the administration, no
discreet and calm locker on can entertain
doubt. v i'll the administration persevere in
its suicidal policy If it does, it will find,
when too late, that il has been destroyed by
the kiss of a Judas.
Tie opinion which the Globe entertained
ofthe patriotism of Mr.. Calhoun in 1886, the
following extracts from its columns Of the Goth
January fully shows. 1t raid, " We would
iarits attention 10 Mr.. Cailous French speech-mor
French raSt deal Than any made in tie Chambers md
der0gatory 10 American character than ann speech
made in France, and as hnc marked BIZ fair dealing

accusations brought against cur government in regard

Mr. Calhoun Aods his country all in The crong from

statesman rcould nuiity The phoIc codc Of morals as
bctlccen nations and insist The French right in
ROLLING u.s. If he supposed such doctrine iadispca
sable 10 make out a case against has Osen Gorera-
ncnt"
In respect to the consistency Of Mr.. Calhoun,
the Globe of 10Th Of February 1886, when re-
plying to the denial of the Telegraph to its al
legation, that Mr.. G. was the " author Of the
restrictive system said ".Nr. Calhoun can
not be robbed By such bye-piGy Of The need Of
fame 10 mhich he is justly entitled. No donbt
he has since endeauored 10 oUerthro,c The union
ofthe states on the ground Of adoption Of The
identical policy rhich he had al a fornier period
so scalouslv pindicaied Bur is HE NOT EN-
TIRELY CONSISTENT IL THIS INCONSISTENCY!
