Mr.. COLLABORATION.

The Washington Globe is evidently astounded bv
Mr. Clay'sspeech in the Senate, on Friday last, in
which thar gentleman doubtless, for the purpo,e If
s'encing the calnmnies OF his enemies took decided
ground against the Abolitionists, and urged tho N,
rot'c every where to rally against them as The enc.
mics Of the Union. The Globe has long known, u.,
as we'll as II now knows, that MIR. Clay Leyer did. =,
any moment OF his life, counenance or court The F.,
nalcs-it knows, that, so far from sustaining him
the Fanatics have been uniformly pouring GU, upon
him The phlals OF their wrath. the author of H.,
Missouri Compromise. by which the principle Of
slavery was broadly sanctioned, and as one Of III.
found ers and friends Of the Coloniza,;op So.;.,,
which they hate only shade less violently Than III.
do Shareholders themselves. But it ha. suited IN.
purposes Of that paper 10 endeavor 10 identify NJ,
Clay with the Abolition cause, for The purpose or,.

Globe's own account Of MIR. Clays speech, "neyer
was party SO belabored in a set speech Of hours a,
the Fanatics >: He denounced them all. and did no,
spare the fair spins,ers ofthe East" Well: the,
it is certain tina, Mr. Clay is no Abolrionist himself
and ii is equally certain that he does not desire m.
support OF the Aboli,ioniss. But Why we ask. i,
the Globe so particularly careful to inform the Fapa
tics ,ha, Mr.. Clay so powerfully .beabored" them
Does it hope to rally them under Mr.. Van Buren,,

turky-worlhy alike of the Stale Of his nayitv and
ms adoption
But we are told by the Globe, in order TO break
the force oflh's character speech of Mr. Clay
because it is bolt avowa Of his hostility to a dan
ee,ous faction, who nevertheless said. by The
Globe To be- his frlends,-hat Mr.. Clay has hereto
lere voted against certain metaphysical resolutions Of
MI Calhoun and Others, denonncing the Fanatics
hut the Globe tells half jaischood. by suppressing
haythc truh-which is. ,lat at the very time he vo.
ted gainst Mr.. Calhoun's resolutions, he offered
others, less Objectionable in phraseoogy and equally
explicit, and for which Mr.. Calhoun himself voted,
asa substitute for Ills own The Globe also tells
us. that Mr.. Clay has chimed IN with those who al
lege that i, would hive been wiser TO have 7eceirea
he Ambition Petitions and tn have answered them
but il torgels to tell that, Mr.. Clays ayowed reason
for this opinion, not that this much respect was
due 10 the Fanatics. but that its effect would be 10
diminish their strength by separating from The Aboli-
tions's proper that large mass who dettsting their
Anti Slavery notions joined them nevertheless for
the purpose of indicating the Right of Petition
looshly and falsely alleged to be violated by The
fusal TO receive their petitions Itlikewse forges TO
tell its readers, that Mr.. A,herton's Resolutions,
which concocred in Van Buren, Caucus Of
Northern and Southern men, at the opening of tho
present session Of Congress, actually does the very
thing which the Globe bames Mr.. Clay foi saying
ought originally to have been done-lhat is yields
the question Of reception But we forgive tho
spasms of the Globe. 1t sees in this bold avowal Of
Mr.. Clays sentiments, that it longer, by its
wlul misrepresentation, deceive the Southern pee
pie. whr will judge Mr. Clay by his words ,a,h-
er than by the SANDERS Of the hired bellers, who
write for that foul mouhed journal.
