TREACHERY.

There are yet few more Stale elections to
take rlace, and eonst quenlly the Globe con-
tinues to viIuperate the friends Of the Admins
tratioD. In the spring, in the summer, in short
during the whole year, the Globe has evinced
that its whole object has been to divide, dis
tract, and destroy the party. Nothing has ap-
peared in that journal, nor is any thing likely 10
appear until the fall elections are over, which
will admit of construction in hostility 10 the
pretensions of Federal Whiggery. All its at
lacks are against the "renegades and apostates;'
and all the friends of the Administration who
supported Harrison and Tyler in 1910 O ''.s

who supported General Jacks on are "apostalcsn
All these sustain the vetoes and are the uncom-
promising opponents of Mr. Clay-and yet the
Globe assalls them exclusively, while nothing
is said calculated 10 displease Mr.. Clay
A day or two ago the Globe made pretence
opposition TO Mr.. Gays opinions on the ia
iih, in review Of bis Georgia letter. Ii was
only pretence; for The protective principle at,
tributed TO Mr.. Clay which il pretended TO as
sail-and the assault was characterized BY an
extraordinary degree of mildness-was idenli-
cal with that entertained by a large portion of
the Democracy OF New York and Massachu-
sets, and substantially the same that was pro-
muga'ed unfortunately by the recent Demo
cratic State Convention held at Syracuse 50
that tins attack on Mr.. Clay by the Globe, was
the very thing desired by NJ clay himself, and
has doubtless won -.ore converts TO the Wing

Globe enjoys the savage satisfaction of seeing
It's barbed shafts penetrate the breasts of its
conhding friends; for j, not only incites the De
mocra's in favor Of protection to unite with the
Wings, but condemns the Democratic Senators
and members Of the House who voted for The
bill of 1912, and arrays itself against the resolu-
tons of the Syracuse Convention. And this is
not all: il is notorious that both Mr.. Van Buren,
and Mr.. Benton voted for the tariff Of 1928.
which was far more obnoxious than the one OF
1912 From the peculiar time selected by the
Globe for its demonstration, we are led TO sus-
pect that II was concerted movement

When the State elections are all over, if the
result should be such as 10 inspire the belief that
Mr. Clay can be elected by the People. then We
shall look for a series OF submissive and whining
articles in the Globe, preaching "concession,
harmony and union" in The party-"everytbing

mocrats who accept office under this Admins
