THE GLOBE AND THE TREATY OF
WASHINGTON.
The public in the vicinity of Washington
where the Globe is seen-we believe il travels
but little out oflhe District remember how
violently the Mr. Blair (who was employed as
the pander to effect the coalition which cheated
General Jackson out of the Presidency assailed
the three-four,hs of the Democratic Senators
who voted for the ratification Of the Treaty of
Washington. Il is well known that these as
saults combined with his tricks upon the Trea-
sury, his tampering with Government clerks,
&c. &C., have rendered his paper an object Of
loathing to every honest man in the party. He
knows this himself, and by all kinds of indirect
means, having amassed an immense fortune, and
being independent Of the party which warmed
him into life, be is only intent on striking his
tangs into it. ~
Mr.. Blair, in the Globe of Saturday, assas
IN his usual coarse and vulgar manner, all the
distinguished and patriotic statesmen who voted
for the Treaty. of Washington-including three
fourths of the Democratic Senators. This he
does simply to crafty his maignity against Mr..
, u,
when he would sacrifice such men as Messrs
Wright, Woodbury., King, Calhoun, &C. &c,
merely to obtain pretext 10 assail Mr.. Webster,
who Is neither in Office nor candidate for office.
And we solemnly believe that the secret of Mr.
Rairs assaults on Mr.. w ebster, is merely pr-
vate chagrin, arising ftom Mr.. Web.ter's de
lection of the notorious bribery transaction, and
Of 4 -.
drawn from the Treasury to swell Mr. Bair's
bloated purse
But Mr.. Blair, in the blindness of his passion,
assails indirectly General Jackson. He thus
speaks of the North eastern line designated by
arbitration during the old heros Administration
GO The boundary irhich England sought TO obtain
through The ncard Of her saiaried officer, the King Of the
Netherlands"
Thus stigmatzed, will any good Democrat
believe that General Jackson was in favor of
that award Ii is true. land Mr.. Tyler, then a
Senator, supported General Jacksons recon-
mendation Of its adoption. The People must
decide whether Gen Jackson and Mr.. Tyler
were ignoramuses and knaves, and Mr. Blair
the only honest and wise man in the nation
But now, when Great Britain is manifesling
symptoms Of intention to interfere with out
domestic institutions, The Globe steps forward
and advises the party to have nothing TO do in
the work of repelling aggression. 1t would see
the Oregon snatched away from us Maine,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, left open
10 invasion f; the slaves Of the South pouring
into Texas, at the bidding Of the British sol
diers-it would see all this, and ten thousand
times more, rather than it would see the
People rise up and vndicate their honor and in
dependence-un this Administrations Mr..
Blair would see his parent country perish, and
It's funeral expenses remain forever unpaid
rather than see it prosper under President Tyler,
Administration.
In asssiling the articles which have appeared
in this paper entitled the Designs of the Bri
tsh Government" the Globe asserts posilvel,
that they were not written by the editor, and in
slnuates that they came from one in high 20
sition. The assertion and the insnuaton are
both false; and we not only have cause TO b,
haitered by the malicious aItrbution, bot W,
have reason 10 believe that the articles hat
some merit in the estimation of the Globe A
number Of the new members of Congress- who
have recently been in Washington, entertain the
same views that we do on the subject referred
to this itself was sufficient to put in motion
Mr.. Blair's envious and detracting pen. He
was determined to create the impression abroad
that The articles were not written by u.s. and we
have no doubt he felt secret satisfaction while
ndiling The deliberate untrulh. But Mr. Blair
may find that no such caumnies uttered bv
himself or his Clay allies, will penetrate our
breastplate. We possess youth enough to be
patient, and sufficient ambition and energy 10
strive continually TO efface the slanderous Stains
our enemies endeavor 10 put upon us. I, is
said there is more pleasure in the pursui; e an
object than in the possession of it: and we can
tell the malignant editor of the Globe. that he
has not impaired single paDg 10 us by attribu.
ting the articles written by us TO distinguished
statesman on the contrary, it has filed US with
pleasing aDticipations. We believe the day
will surely come when our slanderers will be-
covered with confusion; and we have no doub
we will outlive all the elects Of the envious de
fractions OF the Globe and its Clay allies.

yet we are informed il is regularly sent TO MS
