THE GLOBE.

If there was wanting any thing to manifest
more fully than all that has appeared, the frantic
fury of Francis p. Blair and his utter despera-
ton, il is his editorial of Saturday evening
last We are absolutely astonished although
we did not believe that any thing from that
quarter could have produced aslonishment, at
the total disregard of all truth exhibited by that
editorial. The editor charges Mr.. Tyler as
one of tie Federdlisfs who defeated the award
of the King Of The Netherlands, sin order TO IN
volve General Jackson in war with England"
He SAYS "Mr. Benton has shown how that award
Gin itself so much better for the country than the
recent treaty. was defeated by he party and by
the men Messrs. Tyler and Webster) who have
made The Treaty" &c. In 1881 that award was
submitted to the Senate by General Jackson
"Then it was" quolh the Globe, 'that the
whole Federal party fell upon the award and
prevented its execution And This Is com
men,ary upon Mr.. Benton's speech, and de-
ducIion from it, according TO the Globe itself.
Now, gentle reader, what will be your surprise
when you come to learn that there is not one
word of truth in the whole of this matter. Mr..
| TYLER had voted for General Jackson in the Fall
of 1928, against Mr.. Adams-was staunch
supporter of General Jackson in ls3l-difering
with him only upon few occasions--voted for
him for reelection in 1892, and poted for the
dward Of the King Of the Netherlands. Mr..
Tazewell, the colleague of Mr.. Tyler, was the
Chairman Of the Committee of Foreign Rela-
lions, and was the main prop of the Admins
tration. His report IN favor Of the award will
be found al page $40 of Senate Journal 1872
in the Ap, endix, and direct vote was taken
after very many other questions. And would
any man believe, after all this hectorng and
clustering about the award-togeher with the
charge Of Federalism against those who voted
against the award, that this same Thomas IIar
Benton led off what he now calls The Fedora
party, and voted himself against the award
The Senate had adopted the following resou
ton-see page $50.
Resolred, That the Senate advise the Pre-
sident to open new negotiation with his Britain
mic Majesty's government, for the ascertanmen
of the boundary between the possessions o the
United States and those Of the King Of Grea
Britain, on the Northeastern rontier Of the Uni
ted States, according to the treaty Of peace o
1893.
The yeas were Mr.. Benton and others.
/ Mr.. Tyler in the negative.
Mr. Sprague submitted the following resolu
ton:
"Resolred That the Senate do no, advise a sub
mission the opinion of the sovereia tier in rea
lion TO our Northern and Eastern boundary, and DE-
not consent 10 its execution"
A motion was made by Mr.. Bib TO amend
the same by striking out all after the word IRE
solved" and inserting
THAT, in the opinion of the Senate, good fai,l
and sound policy require the execution of the aware
made by the King of The Netherlands between tn
Government of me United States and the Govern
ment of Great Britain"
Those who voted in the affirmative are,
Messrs Bib, Dallas, Dudley, Hayne, Miller
> Tazewell, TYLER, Whites.
Those who voted in the negative are,
Messrs. BENTON Brown. Chambers, Clay
Clayton, Dckerson, Ellis, Ewing, Foot, Ere
