IHE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAlN.-A very
curious opposition 10 the new British Treaty has
made its appearance from the extremes OF the TWO
great political parties of the day. 1t IS however,
afteral only of Five Points opposition fuii OF
ignorance, sordldness and folly.
II seems that James Watson Webb and Francis T.
Blair, par mobile fatIiDi have made the eAtraoiul
nary discovery that the honor OF me country nas
been bartered away TO Great Britain by thlrty-nne
of the Senators of the United states Every now
and then during It's progress, these two blockheads
have been raising objections against the character
of this treaty. Bur one of the most amusing things
thar has vet appeared in relation 10 it, is that of the
"Courier & Enquirer" Of yesterday, where it
seriously objects 10 the United States agreeing to
keep force on the of Africa in order to enforce
their own laws against the Slave Trade for the
article in the treaty this subject is and has been
a law OF the United States for years
But, perhaps, the real ground Of objection to the
treaty the part of these arcades ambo arises from
its including clause TO give up criminals in certain
cases. so that there can be no more runnipg TO Eng
land 10 escape from debt and so on. Hereafter if
Francis P. Blair or James Watson Webb with his
crutches want TO get into debt fleece their creditors
as they did the United States Bank, or become
fashionable defaulters, they can't run away TO
Canada or Great Britain but will have TO go TO
Texas at once. Here probably the shoe pinches.
FDoURIsHryG STATE OF THE OLD Go TRADE
We observe that the trade in old clothes in Chatham
street. has been very fourshng of late, and partcu-
lerly the trade in old clio literature.
Anew days ago, we gave a very accurate and full
report OF the great democratic administration meet
ing at the Battery, where that celebrated &c 1--we
fish," Mike Walsh, made such capital hit. Ca
looking by chance yesterday at Noah's little paper
of the day before, of which he circuates about 1000
lhe same number that is taken daily by each of
twenty carrers) find that he has taken this very
report, and dressed II up precisely in the style
that one OF his tribe would dress up parcel of old
clo they had stolen in order to prevent recognition
Noah stole this report Of ours bodily and then goes
to work and cuts off all the bright buttons, and all
the rich bits OF lace with which we had 80 nicely
dressed 1t up and strips it of all the ornament in
which IL was so tit for Mike Walsh 10 appear in
and which was so perfectly appropriate for the
caslon, and sends it forth TO the world his own,
vertable old Chatham street coat and Chatham
street pair of breeches.
And this is the way that he is going to furnish the
President with accurate information of what is TAX
ing place among the masses this city! We trust,
however, that Capt. John Tyler has more sense
than to put the least faith in such miserable oil
clio blockhead as Noah is, any longer; that is, pre-
sumlng that ever did have any faith in him at all
The DuER Observation-Disclosures on expana-
tons are crowding upon in relation to this splen-
did bubble of the fashionable Walstreet financiers
The last is Mr. 10 Blunts explanation, which is per-
fectly satisfactory. 10 says, and no doubt truly
for 10 is pretty clever fellow on the whole, though
as pompously solemn and amuslngly melancholy as
the bird of night that he was merely agent
and associated with another lawyer bond for
amount which is small, but well secured on real
estate. There is no harm in borrowing money--the
error is not in 10, but in the managers, who have
assigned away all the best assets TO pay English Gre
dltors, while the poor Americans left in the
lurCh.. 10 however coupled his explanation with
small fling at those who published his in con.
necion with the bubble. Pray, who has he to blame
for this Z Not the newspapers, certainly-the
sgnees, who first gave it to the world.
Thus we have had explanations from Governor
Seward, from Mr.. Barclay, from Mr. Davis, from 10
Blunt Who next ventures from his hiding-place I!
BLAcRGUARD LITERATURE. r. Gllddon
ex Z S Consul, for Cairo, Egypt, has published
brochure on Cooly's famous work Egypt
Gliddons pamphlet is one of the most finished
specimens in the BLACKBOARD school OF literature we
nave seen in many day. Liar" blackguard,"
"cowhldes," and such like terms dance through IT
with the greatest profusion. Why because Cody
very coolly described Egypt and the hordes of mo-
dern English travellers in the most correct, graphic
and amusing style. Gliddon, who is regular ] Ohm
Bull OF the Trollope school, could not stand this,
and so bedaubs Mr.. Cody in the greatest style OF
his art
To carry out the rich Joke, Gliddon promises TO
deliver lectures Modern Egypt-and il he does so,
we advise him TO come here and we shall report him
with great accuracy We like these fights-they
serve 70 mitigate the sorrows OF human life.
SETTING RieHT.-Several of the very small poll
ticans say that Captain Tyler could raise large
party here, but for Bennett Of the Herald, who is
considered the Captains organ.
Be easy ont that score. We are not, nor ever was,
the organ OF the Captain and don't care button for
him or any other man, farther than they perform
their public duties. When the Captain is right, we
approve him--when wrong, we cut him up. We
ask nothing Of the Captain and for nothing he
can give. The free, enterprisng and independent
Herald is glory and fortune enough for us.
JOHN G. CALHOUN This statesman is going ahead
rapidly az one OF the democratic candidates for the
presidency. One of the papers in this city has de-
clared in mis- favor--so has the democracy of Rich
mond county passed resolution looking that way.
If Martin don't stir his stumps, he will be broken
down before the ball is opened.
ANOTHER PRESENT FOR HARRY OF THE VEST
Some friend has presented Mr.. Clay with very
beautiful plough. If Mr.. Clay to spend the re-
mainder Of his days in using that valuable instru-
ment, as far as his health would permit, he would
be much wiser and happier man on his death bed
than ifhe to become President Of the United
States, and fret his lfe's brief span in the cor
Tupt and noisy arena Of politics.
