santlally terming General Jackson's proposed
settlement of the boundary, more 'dshonora-
BILE" and "disgracefuw than the present one, he
will never pardon Mr.. Calhoun for exposing
him!
We will continue these extracts.
THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
That il is the settled purpose of the seli-con-
stituted Dctators of the Globe to expe Mr..
Calhoun from the Republican ranks, merely be-
cause he dared in accordance with the dictates
of duty and the rromptngs of patriotism, to in
terpose his vast influence for the prevention Of
the accomplishment of Mr.. Benton's diabocal
party designs against the Treaty of Washing
ton, we think we shall be able to make suffici-
emily apparent 10 our readers.
That the stereoIyped terms "disgracefu"
and g dshonorable" now daily applied to the
Treaty by the I" imperial Globe" are not aimed
at the Administration, must be acknowledged
by every one who reflects that the Treaty. has
long since been ratiied-and ratified by large
majority Of both the Wing md Democratic Sc
majors voting on it. The responsibility of the
Executive existed mainly before the ratification
after that event the Senators o. both parties
became its endorsers. Hence, the continued
assaults of the Globe cannot be intended to il-
jure the Administration, or TO defeat The Treaty.
But what is the Globes objecl7 1t cannot
be laboring to prejudice Mr.. Tyler's prospects
in 1914, with the Republican party, for it daily
repeats its positive assurance that his name
shall mol be introduced in the Convention-that
he has no party any where-and that it is alrea-
dy determined he shall leave the city on the
5lh March lS45, at which time it is predicted
the Madisonian will fall. We repeat that the
terms dsbonorable" and +" disgracefuln daily
applied by the Globe Dictators TO he Treaty,
cannot be intended to operate against the Treaty
itself or the Administration. Hence ii follows
(if the Globe adopts Mr. Clay's brsg in good
earnest, that Mr. Tyler is ga President without
party") that all these poisoned arrows are fred
over the White House at the breast of Mr.. Cal
hounl
Therefore, in justice TO Mr.. Calhoun, we are
disposed TO republish the reasons which he
deemed sufficient 10 justify his course in rela-
lion to the Treaty.
session. thus continues his reasons for support
ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded as
his defence against The insidious assaults of Mr..
Benton:
Having now shown-satsfactory, be hoped-that
Maine has acted wisely for herself in asserting to the

representatives Of the Union on such questions
would not also do so in rstifying it, far at least as

nothing to what had already been said Of the portion
in which Maine Immediately interested. His
remarks would be confined to the remaining portion
of the boundary, extending from the northwestern
corner Of that State to the Rocky Mountains.
