A DASTARDLY SENTIMENT.

The editor Of the Globe thus notices the
Bolts failure at impeachment:
"In the House of Representatives, Mr.. Bolts Of
Virginia, moved articles Of impeach ment against Pre-
sident Tyler. The proposed imTe was pefoed
by the House-for the most part by Democratic votes
From his thrill be seen they resolped hat he Pre-.
sidsnt shall hare 10 charge them Nth ingrafi-
Jude. They rH square accounts Nth him"
Now, no man not wholly animated by the
appliance of gdlpdnisni, could utter such n
detestable, such contemplate sentiment. A
heart warmed with patriotic blood, would revolt
at the idea advanced in the above paragraph.
The Presidents vetoes were dictated by a
sense of Representations duty-and by the
obligations Of solemn oath. No man with
truth can say that he was in the most remote
degree influenced by desire TO heap up load
OF obligation on the peculiar friends of the
Globe in Congress. To be sure, great galitude
was erpressed by the Globe and its peculiar
friends for the vetoes But they were solely the
result of Republican Presidents conviction
of duty-the honest conviction of President
who considered the interests of his country
paramount to the interests of party
BY the sentiment advanced in the Globe we
are left 10 infer that the vetoe. were pdriy
matters, from which its peculiar friends de-
rived party benefit, and which obligation
10 the President was repaid, and the account
balanced on Tuesday by party vote, when
the attempt was made by Mr.. Bots and SOME
eighty ofthe one hundred and forty Wings TO inn
peach the President!
IL this be so-if the Democrats voted against
their solemn convictions of the truth Of the
charges made by Mr. Bous-if they pioiaied
their oafhs 10 pay party debt--lhen we should
cease TO be amused at the impudent assump-
tions OF the Globe to DICTATE TO the Democratic
party, nor would we be surprised to find the
Democratic members rendering servile obedi-
ence to the commands of Mr.. Blair.
Bot il was not so. None Of them believed
there was particle Of truth in the charges
brought forward by Mr.. Bolts. Hence, if they
had acted differently, they would have fallen
short of their duty.
But The Globes paragraph is genuine speci

The IMPEACHMENT VOTE.

The following portion Of the debate which
followed Mr. Bots grand failure at Impeach-
ment, is copied from the Globe, with correc-
tions. II will be seen that Mr.. CooPfR explain
his vote differently from what appeared in the
Globe:
MIR PRorrir, who had the floor addressed the
House IN reply to Mr.. Marshall and, IN the course
of his remarks commented very severely on the tor

MR.. CLAY AND FREE TRADE.

Mr. WISE alladed, in his late address to his
constituents, TO the original form in which MI
Clay proposed the celebrated Compromise act OF
1893 The address spoke at the time from
recollection only. The following Is an exact
copy of the provision OF that act referred to, as
il was drawn by Mr. Clay himself and shown
10 his friends, TO wit:

ENGLAND MOVING ON oREGC

ENGLAND MOVING ON OREGON.
 The Edinburgh Review discusses, in an elaborate and able paper, the character of the Oregon Territory. It is represented as "a land of magnificent scenery and healthy climate, with limited agricultural capabilities, with large proportion of unproductive soil, but with fertile ground enough to form the home of new nation; poor in harbors, and deficient in navigable rivers, but yet by no means inaccessible, and possessing an admi- rable geographical situation for commercial purposes.
 It then thus discusses the question:
 Who shall possess he Oregon 2-" The land which is to command the North Paci- iic, and give the law to its myriad Islands. cannot long remain unoccupied It calls loudly on those who have foresight-on those who can estimate the promise of the future-to forecast its destiny. The Ameri- cans never show themselves deficient in this branch of political wisdom. They are fa- milar with what we can scarcely realize the rapid march of time in the Western world Almost before we have satiated ourselves With the mere contemplation of newly-dis- covered portion of the wilderness-before Its lines are mapped out, and the names oi It's natural features become familiar to our ears-the wilderness is gone, the mountains stripped of their forests, the rivers alive with navigation. The Far West will change as rapidly as the East has done In the words of Washington Irving: < The fur-bearing an- mals extinct, a complete change will come over the scene; the gay fur-trapper and his steed, decked out in wild array, and tinklinp with bells and trinketry; the savage war chief, plumcd, and ever on the prowl; the
