THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
That it is the settled purpose of the self4con-
stituted Diclators of the Globe, 10 expel Mr.
Calhoun f. om the Republican ranks merely be-
cause he dared, in accordance with the dictates
of duty and the rromptings of patriotism. TO in
terpo.e his vast influence for The prevention OF
the accomplishment of Mr.. Benton's diaboical
party designs against the Treaty of Washing
ton, we think we shall be able 10 make sufiici-
emily apparent TO our readers.
That the stereoiyped terms "disgracelu"
and g dishonorabe" now daily applied to the
Treaty by the /" imperial Globe are not aimed
at the Administration, must be acknowledged
by every one who reflects that the Treaty has
long since been raufed-and ratified by large
majority Of both The Wing nd Democratic Sc
majors voting on ii. The responsibility OF the
Executive existed mainly before The rat fcalion
after that event the Senators o. both parties
became its endor .ers. 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 object2 IL cannot
be lsboring TO prejudice Mr.. Tyler's prospects
repeats It's positive assurance that his name
shall not BE- introduced in he Convention-that
he has no party where-and that II Is alrea-
dy determined he shall leave the city on the
9th March, l5i5, at which time il is predicted
The Madisonian will fall We repeat that the
terms " dishonoraben and Z. diseracelul" daily
applied By the C ODE Dictalors TO he Treaty,
H.. n. a., IN. IT,,
itself or the Administration. Hence il follows
&c the Globe adopts Mr.. CIsy's brag in coed
earnest, Thai Mr.. Tyler Is - President without
a partyn) that all these poisoned arrows are fired
over the White House al the breast Of MIR Cal
hounl
Therefore, IN justice TO Mr.. Calhoun, we are
disposed TO republish The reasons which he
deemed sufficient 10 justify hts course in rela-
ton TO the Treaty.
MIR Calhoun (taken from his speech in secret
session. thus continues his reasons for support
ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded
his defence against he insdous assaults of MIR
Benton
Having now shown-sstisfac torily he hoped--that
Naine has acted wisely for herself ia asserting the
~
representatives Of the Union on such questions
would also do in ratfying It, far nj least
the boundary question Is involved lie would add
nothing TO what had already been said of the portion
in which Maine was 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.
Throughout Gs long ernded line, eroy question has
been settled 10 Satisfaction Our righ has been
knoriedged ~ tory Of about hundred thousand
acres Of land IN Nc,o Hampshire, rhich u0td hare been
lost by the arrard Of the King Of Holland lorg gore

New York, and which was lost under the treaty Of
Client, votiid b. regained By this II includes Rouses
Point. Sugar Island, lying ia the water conneN'on

valuable for soil and position. So, also, IS Isle

Lac and the river St Louis SIDE, and Pigeon

II Is said to be sterile but cannot well be more so
than that acquired by Great Britain, lying west Of
the boundary awarded by the King Of Holland In

the lakes, which divided in running out the d.
