Madisonisn u sheer misrepressutatioa."
Mr.. Calhoun Was one Of those who sanction
ed il the President and the Secretary Of State
conducted il. No honorable Senator would
sanction treaty that had not been properly son.
Quoted. Neither Mr.. Calhoun nor the other
Republican Senators were ''forced to approve II.
though reluctantly" We do not msrepresent
them. If the Globe has its information from
the opposition side, We have ours from the other.
Time will show who has most properly and du-
Moritatireiy represented the motives OF the Be-
majors voting in the affirmative.
The Globe adds:
aOne and all Of them condemn it, and only ac-
ceded to il because they could expect nothing better
from the hands into which the foreign relations oil
the Government had unhappiy fallen. twas a total
want of confidence 10 Mr.. Webster, and the antici-
patton that he would involve the county IN sill deep
err disgrace if the conditions which he had yielded
himself and for which he was responsible, were no,
assented to, that wrung from several of the Demo-
cratic Senators the Notwithstanding, most revolving
sanction to a capitulation which they abborred. III
we mistake not, the secret journal oil The senate,
with the speeches OF the Democratic Senators, VIII
make this manifest whenever the ratification oil the
treaty renders the publicity Of the proceedings upon
1t proper"
take, which, we should hope, the Globe has I'M
willingly fallen into. We intended TO- have
stated this some weeks ago, but neglected IT.
The injunction Of secrecy will soon be remov-
| ed Then all will be seen. II will then be seen
whether any earthly circumstances could induce
| Mr. Calhoun and the Republican Senators who
voted for the Treaty, TO submit TO "cap'lula-
/.
ton which they abhouedh-whether any posi-
hla confederation .,..iI ~ - i--en ''~'" 'heh
''heart-sickening, most revolving, sanction" OF a
dishonorable Treaty, under the fear that the
"country would be involved in still deeper dis
grace" if it were rejected, by Mr.. webster
Whatever may be said of Mr.. Webster, 1t will
be found that he has not disgraced his country.
And in this particular, at least, the secret jour
nal of lhe Senate will do him justice. Both the
Republican and Wing Senators would have
recorded their mays in their own blood,
rather than sanction disgraceful Treaty.
To call it ga disgrdcefuL Treaty" is TO
assail The integrity of the President, the
Secretary of State, and every Senator that
voted for it! What had any of them 10
fear? The citizens of America would go to
battle with England as one man! The glo-y
won by our Revolutionary fathers, bauling with
England, has not been, AID never can be, tar
nished by the venality of President, Secre-
tary OF State, and United States Senate
The Globe says that the London Times APP
proves the Treaty. We admit it but we as
sert, at the same time, that a majority of the
British presses condemn it.
AS we intimated, the other day, a partisan
war will soon be made against the Treaty
The Missouri Legislature will strike the first
blow. Let our readers mark the prediction. Ii
is not war against the Adminis'raton-it is
not war against Mr.. Webster-but it is in
tended, however insidiously, as a DEATH
BLOW TO JOHN "CATILINE" CAL
HOUN.
