THE GLOBE in 1S41.
That our Republican readers may see that
the Globe was not the apoogist and supporter
of Mr.. Clay in l84l, we offer brief editorial
from that print, commenting with no little seve-
ritv on the conduct of the " Dictator" We
doub, very muchessG srAapwil& HIMSELF so
upreservedly against his old friend and con-
nexion by marriage in lS4l, whether Mr. Blair
could induce any considerable portion of the De-
mocracy to support him in 1874.

THE JACOBIN CLUBS.
The standard and classic works which are now
issuing from the French and English press-thc his
torical works Of THEIRS, and CARLYLE. and others
will put in the power of the rising generation OF
America to study the history OF the Jacobln Clubs
which ruled all legislation and all Government in
France during the early part of the Revolution, and
which have Just been inflated and established in our
country. The French Jacobn Club-the parent
club which in Paris--was an Invention TO enable
RoBEspIERRE to govern he Legislative Assembly and
the Convention In these Clubs the dictator assem-
bled his party every night made them agree to every
measure which he proposed, and bound them TO sup.
port it the next day in the House In this way all
LEGISLATION was done in the club and, nothing was
done there but that which RoBEspIERRE ordered, it
resulted that he became the sole legislator OF France.
The machinery of the Jocol'in Club effected this
and in like manner the machinery OF the caucus die
ta,ion has enabled Mr. H. CLAY to become the sole
legislator of America during the memorable ses ion of
the Hundred Days. Saving the two bills Wrecked
upon the rock of the two vetoes, his will was law
81 far as the Houses of Congress were concern
ed, he the sole legislator and the two Houses
met early every morning. as he had ordered to regis
ter the DEGREES which he had dictated the night be
fore In the House of Representatives the tyranny
and despotism of the gag silenced debate and van
qushed opposition and the DEGREES were registered
nearly as fast as read In The Senate, where deter
minaton to resisl the gag unto DEATH prevent
ed lis application, the result was still the same,
though more slow. The dictators DEGREES were all
regiser red in the end but the freedom of speech be-
ing still maintained the dec,ees though passed, were
discussed and ex posed aud subjected 10 adherence
and dstan The same as TO nominations. he dc
tator put off all to the last and passed all All except
one, the head piper, were passed: And all this by
caucus dictation IN imitation OF Jacobnlcal cubism
The session which has just closed-the one which
from its acts may he called the rAX-DEB and
PLUMBER SESSION-has the honor of orgina,-
