THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

lHt. RDh i Of " ASI1lN1 YIN.
That it is the settled purpose of the self-con-
stituted Dictators Of the Globe. to exPel Mr..
Calhoun from the Republican ranks, rely 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.. Benton's diabolical
party designs against the Treaty of Washing
ton, we think we shall be able to make suffci-
emily apparent TO our readers.
That the s,ereotyped terms ''disgraceiul'
and :" dishonorabe" now daily applied to the
Treaty by the 60 imperial Globe" are not aimed
at the Administration, must be acknowledged
by every one who reflects that the Treaty. has
long since been ratfed-and ratified by large
majority Of both The Wing nd Democratic Sc
majors voting on it. The responsibility OF the
Executive existed mainly before the ratification
after that event the Senators Of both parties
became its endorsers. Hence, the continued
assaults of the Globe canno, be intended TO il-
jure the Administrator, or to defeat The Treaty.
But what is the Globes object2 Ii cannot
be laboring TO prejudice Mr.. Tyler's prospects
in 1914, with the Republican party, for 1t daily
repeats its positive assurance that his name
shall not be introduced in the Conventon-,hat
he has no party anywhere-and that it is alrea-
dy determined he shall leave the city on the
5th March, 1915, at which Time it is predicted
the Madisonan will fall. We repeat that the
terms dishonorable" and " dis, raceful' daily
applied by the G. ODE Dctalors to The Treaty,
-, -. III
itself or the Administration Hence il follows
(if the Globe adopts Mr.. Clay's brag in good
earnest, that Mr. Tyler is "a President without
a partyn) that all these poisoned ARROWS are fred
over the White House at the breast of Mr.. Cal
houn
Therefore, in justice 10 Mr.. Calhoun, we are
disposed TO republish the reasons which he
deemed sufficient TO justify his course in rela-
ton TO the Treaty.
Mr.. Calhoun (taken from his speech in secret
ses ,ion) thus continues his reasons for support
ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded as
his defence against The nsidious assaults of Mr.
Benton
Having now shown-satisfactorily he hoped-that
Maine has acted wisely for herself in asserting TO the
treaty il remained to be considered whether we, the
representatives of the Union on such questions,
would also do in ratifying 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.
Throughout this long-ertended line erery question has
been SETTLED 10 orr Subtraction. Or right has been ac
knotredgcd 10 ferT tory Of about hundred thousand
acres Of Lrnd IN Neo Hampshire rhioh roh hars been
lost by the atcard II The King Of Holland lorg gore
Of about the same amount, lying in Vermont and
New York, and which was lost under the treaty Of
Client toouid be regGined by This. II includes Roises
Point Sugar Island, lying in the water connexlon
between Lakes Huron and Superior and heretofore
in dispute is Acknowledged 10 be IT is large, and
valuable for soil and position. So, also is Isle
Royale near the northern shore Of Lake Superior
Acknowledged 10 be oursa large island, and valuable
for lis fisheries. And also, large tract of country
TO the north and west Of that lake, between Fond du
Lac and the river st Louis on one side, aud Pigeon
river on the other-oonianing four millions ], acres
II is said to be sterile, but cannot well be so
than that acquired by Great Britain, lying west of
the boundary awarded by the King Of Holland. In
addition all the islands in the river ST. Lawrence and
the lakes which divided in running out the d.
vision line under previous treaties are acquired bu rs
under this and oil the channels and passages opened

Such are the provisions Of the treaty in reference
to this long line Of boundary. Our gain-rtgarded in

So much for the boundary line. In our next
