THE TREATY.

The Intelligeneer aud Globe arc APPARENT,
united in their foreign as well as domestic inter
ests. II they eau find no senable ground ~
their own country from which TO assail the Al
ministralion, il would seem they have no hes'
ialion in espousing the Brush side.
The Inlelligeneer has, for the last month
been republishing extracts from The British pa
pevs. sssailing the Treaty. After thus pfep"r
ing the pubic mind in this country to sympo-
disc with the BRUSH, who evidently get the
worst OF il in the Treaty, the GLOBE springs so
its assistance, and resolves to support the absurd
construction placed upon the Article relnqulsh'
ing The right OF search
The Aowliaxs Of the Globe and MIR. Benton
against Mr. Webster are echoed back by the
BrifisA press--no wonder they should, in re-
turn, sustain the Brush Premier.
Our readers must remember the scene in
the Uniied States Senate, growing out OF
the mysterious map introduced by Mr.. Ben,
ton. The microscopic eyes, and the
.'hloody red lines must have made an i'm
impression on their memory That map is now
figuring in England. and the abuse heaped upon
Mr.. Webster BY MIR. Benton, is nothing in com.
parison with that uttered by his friends and al
hes, the British. They not only abuse Mr.
Webster in more than Bentonian strain, but
,Asy insult and backyard the whole American
People. We copy the following from the Lon
aon 7Smss. the leading British journal:
The edect produced upon the Senate by the pro-

frsctcry Senator's, though not admitting il concu-

advisable to submit the question to another arbitra
toa with such document against them and they
passed a vote to ratify the treaty.
With this map it appears that Mr.. Webster was
provided during the whole Of his late negotiation
and W. feel sure that the British pub ic will hardly
credit that the had this map before his eyes at the
time that he solemnly protested to Lord Ashburton

We knew them to be dishonest, and spirdiers in
their money Transaction, but We did not expect to
find such ble-rigging among their statesmen 1t is

the pride OF Englishmen that II there was fault in
the late negotiation on the part of negotiator,
in the nobeness Of his character, in putting too
much confidence in the honor and Integrity of the par
ty with whom he was engaged.
We trust, however, that this lesson will not be
thrown away upon our country; let henceforth
