A QUANDARY.

The Globe has got itself IN trouble at last,
notwithstanding its two hundred and twenty
81 600 Treasury notes bearing q per cent. in,e-
resi-. Last fall il yielded TO the advice Of Mr..
Benton, (who furnished il with edi'orials,) and
commenced series OF low, viiuperatng as
saults Oh the President and without the least
provocaiioo, save the hope OF political advan
lsge. The TaEATy was sci cled as the most
vulnerable point of attack, and for The next sue
ceeding six months Mr. Benton aud the Globe
fought furiously-ay, we give them the credit
Of making a spirited attack. But what did ii
all amount to The Treaty has been ratified,
and the necessary appropriations To carry It's
s,ipula,ions into effect, were passed by ire-
IN, ndous majority. Ills true Mr.. Benton voted
Globe Numbered al his back, in his support, all
the lime. But what beneficial results did this
war on the Administration producer There
ras time when the Globe and Mr.. Benton
had some influence with the Democratic patty
Ia time when their earnest aud resoute oppo-
sition might at least retard the progress of an
important measure. But then they consulted
the best interests OF the party aud the country,
and did not have the hardhood to attempt TO
direct the whole party for their own especial
and exclusive qualification and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The failure of such desperate attack on the
Administration, is proof sufficient that there is
such thing as public virtue yet in existence.
And, after such failure, il is natural to sup
pose that there is no longer any serious danger
TO be apprehended from the same quarter. If
the Globe clique could make no impression on
the Admnistra ion last fall-nay, if lhree-fourlhs
of the Democratic members OF Congress then
opposed the forts of Mr.. Benton and lis Globe
1T is not likely that the Administration has
grown weaker with victory, and its enemies
stronger from defeat.
The moral influence of such defeat, must
be Notifying 10 the extreme to Mr.. Benton
The failure was so palrable, the ultra presses
have even ceased TO alude to it. The Globe
no longer admits the word TREATY in its CO.
lumns-lhe very mention Of il brings deeper
blush TO the cheek of its editor. What change
since December! AT that time the Globe aver
aged ten cilumns day on The subject.
ouch Is the CioDe's quandary. faHinS In lis
war upon the Treay-failins in lis attempt to
use General Cass-ioled in its Efforts to eYcom-
municate the Democrats who support Presi-
dent Tyler, aud to terify them from holding
office under the Admin isralion-il is driven to
the miserable sniff Of misrepresentng the pur-
port OF the editorial articles in the Mad isonian
Some weeks since the Globe intimated land
there was foundation for it,) tina, we were
assaiIing Mr.. Van Buen. The hiHt was taken
by its two or three followers in the South, and
these prints which came by the last mails,
state that Is the Madi,onian is daily vilifying
Mr.. Van Buren.' And such is the miserable
resort to which the Globe is driven to prejudice
the Democracy against the President.
The Globe is certainly in very bad guam
dairy.
