THE TWO GLoBEs-THE TREATY.

THE TWO GLOBES-THE TREATY.

doubt in relation to the propriety and Jusuce oi
attacking the Treaty, the Globe oil fiiaay

We are Glad to find the following declaration
in the Globe:

word. a majority of the Democratic party IN the
Senate.
Now, our great object in repelling the assaults
on the Treaty was as far as our power extend
cd 10 nreyent distractions and divisions IN the
great Republican party, knowing that II must
not only be united, but vigilant, to prevent 'he
ascendancy of Federalism in lS45. Hence we
contend, that, to attack the Treaty, is TO attack
the Senators who solemnly ratified H. aiter ex-
aiming il in all its bearings. Would not the
honorable Senators, mentioned by the EloDe,

rable 90 And if it had been rejected, could
another as bad or worse have been conclu-

Senators fearful that their number would be re-
duced to less than third of the fifty two, during
this Administration No, they approved IT,
But IT, ere were few mighty men who did not
approve it-and their disapprobation dies not
with their negative vote. See the resolutions
to be passed by the Missouri Legislature.
But the treaty will be popular If the great
body of the press in England may be believed,
our country has trumphed most signally IN the
negotiation. II is thus spoken of in the LONDON

The dissatisfaction which has been occasioned by
the treaty for settling differences with America
will not be diminished by perusal OF the correspon-
the subject of the disputed Boundary. We are per-
fectly Of opinion that it desirable for this coun
try to remain terms of amity with the United
States; but it is fairly to be presumed that the con-
tinuauce of friendly relations between the two coun-
tries was matter of some importance to America.
On high moral principles, the convenience OF one
party should have entered into the consideration
Of the other with view to the imposition OF terms
which, though not altogether just in themselves,
would probably be acceded to on account OF its be-
ing to the interest Of one side to forego portion
of its right for the purpose of preventing greater
sacrifice.
But though we should have disapproved the as
sumption Of naughty a bullying tone towards
America we cannot do otherwise than condemn the
cessnnsnary spirt-not Of conciliation but of con-
ceived and wshiah. Observation-Disclosures amnppica;

Mr. Webster, proceeds to the expression of sen j.

by no means appropriate to special Ambassador

nation. In the letter dated the 18th Of June, and
which appears to be the first that was written on the
subject of the Boundary, Lord Ashburton refers to
conference, in which he had expressed his extreme
desire for an amicable adjustment; and lest there
should have been any Misrepresentation of his spoken
words, he repeats in the more tangible form Of wr

From Willmer's Liverpool .Ntus Letter, Oct A.
In the early part of the last fortnight the London
papers were almost wholly engaged in discussing the
merits and dement's of the treaty lately conc uded
between Great Britain and the United States, and
the general tendency of what has been written APP
pears to induce the belief that it is generally con-
sdered to favor the United States and of course
prejudicial to Great Britain. We believe we are
correct in stating that politics have had very little
influence in the discussion Of the question: and from
what we gather from the leading journals, il is
considered that England has made many concessions
which not only prejudicial but actually dshon-
orable TO her. 1t is argued that Great Britain has
given up by this treaty to the Americans wothirds
Of an extensive territory to the whole of which re-
cent surveys prove her justly entitled Again, it IS
argued that Great Britain has virtually acknow ledge
ed the clam of the United States even to the third
which has been retained by England because it is
agreed to purchase that third by giving to the people
Of Maine right, freely to navigate the st. John
from its source to its mouth thu ough the British Pro-
vince of New Brunswick. Such are the opinions OF
the British public upon the treaty settling and defn-
ing the North Eastern Boundary.
