saults on the Treaty Of Washington were prin-
cipally designed for the breast Of Mr. Calhoun.
They were aimed ostensibly at the Secretary
negotiator;" but they were intended TO glance
obliquely in another direction. Mr.. Webster
was not candidate for the Presidency neither
was the Wing party attacked BY the Globe
hence no one can be at loss to attribute the
right motives TO the Globe in its solitary" war
on the Treaty
After experimenting in this way some nine
months, without effect, another plan was adopt
ed TO "kill off" the great Caroinian, and estab-
lish great Central Dictatorship. And this
was TO put in operation the secret party machi-
merry, in conjunction with certain band Of ultra
Demagogues, which would apparently strike the
first effectual blow al Mr.. Calhoun from the Mis-
sssippi valley, and, seemingly, not implicate the
Globe, the originator of The continuance.
For this purpose the Missouri Standard was
established by the Globe, and issued its first
number few days before MIR. Benton (who may
edit it the first few monlhs) reached ST. Louis.
The FIRST number assaed Mr.. Calhoun with
great rancor, and plainly indicated that the wri-
ter's determination was to " unchurch" him,
without anything resembling delicate ceremony
But Mr.. Blair had set out fiom ST. Louis few
days previous for Washington, and Mr.. Benton
did not arrive there until few days afterward.
Therefore, neither of them were responsible tor
the savage attack on Mr.. Calhoun as neither Of
them could have written the article--bolh being
absent rhen it 1Dds Published Neither Of
these gentlemen are political -ward--of course
they both have the courage 10 avow openly what
they ray have to say against Mr. Calhoun
And if the one did furnish the money to estab-
ish the paper, and the other is to edi, it'll the
meeting Of Congress, neither Of them can be
held responsible for the attack in question be-
cause they were both absent when it happened
simultaneously with the assault, in question,
a Democratic paper in New Orleans read Mr..
Calhoun Out Of the Democratic ranks but a few
days afterwards the editor found it necessary TO
read him in again, in consequence of the storm
ii raised about his ears.
We need not say the Globe was watching
the effect Of these operations. Finding by the
advices last week from New Odeans and ST.
Louis that the political machine had failed in
both places, (the Democrat: Association at ST.
Louis held meeting aud refused 10 adopt the
Globes policy it wheeled about on Saturday and
complimented Mr. Calhoun and one Of his most
prominent friends, with As much ardor as if it
had not just been striving 10 destroy them. Ii
copies letter written by the Hon. Dixon II.
Lewis to his constituents, which is endorsed
with as much apparent warmth as if the editor
felt conscious that its distinguished author was
ignorant Of his duplicity.
The letter deserves all praise it is able and
candid, and fearsssy expresses the writer's pre-
ference for Mr.. Calhoun. However much any
one may differ with Mr.. Lewis in sentiment
sill his candor is deserving of praise. lie as
serts what he sincerely believes 10 be the fact,
and docs no, attempt to mislead any body. We
quote the following paragraphs from bis letter:
