THE GLOBES TRICKERY.


THE GLOBES TRICKERY.
The Globes hostility to Mr. Calhoun has
been generally acknowledged. discontinued as
sauls on The Treaty Of Washington were pr'n-
cipally designed for the breast OF Mr. Calhoun.
They were aimed oslensibly at the Secretary
negotator;" but they were intended 10 glance
obliquely in another direction. Mr.. Webster
was moi candidate for the Presidency neither
was the Wing party attacked BY the Globe J;
hence no one can be at loss to attribute the
right motives to the Globe in its g solitary" war
on the Treaty.
After experimenting in this way some nine
months, without effect, another PLAZA was adopt
ed to skill off" the great Carolinian, and estab'
lish a great Central Dictatorship. And this
was 10 put in operation the secret party machl-
merry, in conjunction with certain band OF ultra
Demagogucs, which would apparently strike the
frs, effectual blow al Mr.. Calhoun from The Mis-
sissippi valley, and, seemingly, not implicate the
Globe, the originator Of The continuance.
For this purpose the Missouri Standard was
established by The Globe, and issued its first
number few days before Mr.. Benton (who may
edit i, the first few mon,hs) reached st. Louis.
The first number assailed Mr.. Calhoun with
great rancor, and plainly indicated that the wri-
ler's determination was to |" unchurch" him,
without anything re, embling d, lIcate ceremony.
But Mr.. Blair had sci Out f.om ST. Louis few
days previous for Washington, and MIR Benton
did not arrive there until few days afterward.
Therefore, neither Of them were responsible Tor

them could have written the article-bo'h being
absent ahen 1t acas Published Neither Of
these gentlemen are politIcac ward,-of course
they both have the courage to avow openly what
they may have to say against Mr. Calhoun
And if the one did furnish the money TO sstab-
l,h the paper, and the other is to edit it I'LL the
meeting of Congress, neither Of them can be
held responsible for the attack in question be-
cause they were both absent when it happened
simultaneously with the assault in question,
a Democratic paper in New Orleans read Mr..
Calhoun oul Of the Den ocraiic ranks /; but few
days afterwards the editor found it necessary 10
read him in again, in consequence of tie storm
We need not say the Globe was watching
the effect of these operations. Finding by the
advices last week from New Orleans and ST.
Louis that the political machine had fail, in
both places, 1.-THE Democraii; Association at ST.
Louis held meeting and refused 10 adopt the
Globes policy il wheeled about on Saturday and
complimenled Mr.. Calhoun and one of his most
prominent friends, with as much ardor as if it
had not just been striving to destroy them. II
copies letter written by the Hon. Dixon II.
Lewis to his constituents, which is endorsed
with as much apparent warmth as il the editor
felt conscious that It's distinguished author was
Ignorant Of his dupliciIy.
The letter deserves all praise it is able and
candid, and fearlessly expresses the writer's pre-
ference for Mr.. Calhoun However much any
one may differ with Mr. Lewis in sentiment,
still his candor is deserving of praise. tie as
serts what he sincerely believes 10 be the fact,
and docs not attempt TO mislead any body. We
quote the following paragraphs from his letter:
" You arc right gentlemen, in anticipating that my
preferences for John G. Calhoun for the Presi-
dency. No previous occasion having called for .
public avowal Of this preference, avail myself OF
the opportunity which your mention Of the subject
requires, 10 make known my views on question
which may more or less enter in the election and
winch, IN INC absence authorized statement OF
those views on my part, might become the means OF
dividing our friends in manner seriously to affect
the result Of the approaching canvass.
My preferences for Mr.. Calhoun are founded on
the conviction that he is the most efficient and avail
able representative OF Democratic principles in the
approaching contest for the Presidency; that he
stands equal chance with any other candidate to
receive the nomination Of National Convention
and that, IL nominated, he unite in his support

Mr.. Lewis further proceed, to say:
