THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
That it is the settled purpose of the selfcon-
stituted Dicta,ors of the Globe. 10 expel Mr..
Calhoun Tom the Republican ranks, merely be-
cause he dared, in accordance with the dictates
of duty and the rromptings of patriotism, 10 in
terpose his vast influence for The prevention OF
the accomplishment of Mr.. Bentons diaboiical
Party-designs against the Treaty of Washing
ton, we think we shall be able 10 make suifci-
emily apparent to our readers.
That the stereoyped terms "disgraeeful"
and :. dishonorable" now daily applied to the

terms "dishonorablen and (" dis5racelul" daily

cannot be int nded TO operate against the Treaty.

/ Therefore, in justice 10 Mr. Calhoun, we are
disposed TO repub.h The reasons which he
deemed sufficient TO justify his course in rela-
ton 10 the Treaty.
\ Mr.. Calhoun (taken from his speech in secret
session. thus continues his reasons for support
ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded as
his defence against he insijious assaults of Mr..
Benton
Having now shown-satisfactorily, he hoped-that
Maine has acted wisely for herself ia asserting TO the
treaty it remained to be considered whether we, the
representatives Of the Union on such questions,
would also do in ratifyng it, far at least
the boundary question is involved. He would add
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
