THE GLOBE AGAIN.


The editor of the Globe makes another des-
perate plunge in its editorial of yesterday IN or
der TO ex,rcate itself from the dilemma IN
which its editorial Of Saturday evening had
pIaced il. The editor commences apologeilcal-
ly. and admits that he had been led into error,
aud that Mr.. Tyler did rote for the award.
But he is not content TO stop here. He is SO tam-
liar with the commission Of wrong, that when
fair opportunity is presented him OF repairing
an injury, he cannot do IT, He first SEXES upon
the accidental error of our composition IN the ar
rangement of the type, as ground of excuse
for his miscellaneous, as II when on Sa-
,urday he asserted what was not ,rne, he
knew that our composition would commit
this blunder of transposlng the names OF Messrs
TYLER and Benton, and then changing the whole
position, viz: "Ihat Mr.. Tyler roted against
the a,card in order to inroire General Jackson
in mar miM England" substantially assumes
the very opposite, viz: 'Ihdt Mr.. Tyler rofed
NOT AGAINST the award, but against opening
fresh negotiations wiM Great Britain IN or
der TO inrOire Gen. Jackson IN wdr irih

tell us which proposition he means TO insist up

contains the falsehood? Do tell US which 1t Is.
One of the two must be false, Mr. Blair. Which
But il is said by the Globe that the Senate
had rejected the award by vote of twenty
three TO twenty two, and then mo other course
was left but to open new negotiations. Such'
it says, was the opinion OF Mr.. Benton, ana
such. too, would have been the opinion oil Mr.
Bib, Mr.. Dallas, Mr.. Tazewell, Mr.. Tyler, &c.
&c. if the fate of the award was 10 be regarded
as finally settled. But was it matter OF such
small importance-this of keeping General
Jackson out of war with England, involved in
the rejection Of the award-as to give up all op-
position to the majority Of one, and cease any
further effort to establish the award? Does this
excuse Mr.. Benton's vote on Mr.. Blbb's
proposition to adopt the award Did
a man ever yield easily and prompt
w to a majority of one, as did Mr. Ben
ton on that occasion, and yet Mr.. Francis Z.
Blair concludes his diatribe by declaring that
"Mr. Tulel's rote Nth seren others TOR the
execution of the dWdrd, &c. was merely voting
a contradiction, and was intended simply as a
cover against conclusions which might be drawn
from the vote against new negotiations" That
is to say: AS Mr.. Tyler refused TO give any
vote to set aside the award, but insisted through
out for its execution, il is TO be inferred he was
hostile to it and to General Jackson-whereas
Mr.. Benton, who permitted himself to yield the
award TO majority of one, and would make no
further effort to have it adopted, was quite
the thing, and is subject 10 no conclusions such
as are limited at by the Globe, and which I'M
plicate Mr. Dallas, Mr.. Tazewel, and others,
as fully as they do Mr.. Tyler
In conclusion, we have but one word to say
TO the Globe. 1t is this: we are disposed &c
cultivate peace with all men and all editors
We have therefore most carefully absained
from making assaults upon any one. We stand
in support Of the Administration, strictly on the
defensive, and if the Globe, or Col. Benton, OF
any body else, believe they going to make
capital for Mr.. Van Buren,, or any body else
by attacks on the Administration, why, we dc
not mean TO interfere with their decision in this
respect further than to say, that we shall de-
fend the Administration in the right, and tina
all the consequences resulting from their course
of conduct must rest on their own leads. We
fly at our mast head the OLD REPUBLICAN
BANNER, which in times of yore our fathers
were wont to sustain and those who seek t.
,rample it in the dust, will hav. fght-a hare
fght-a fight unto death.
