TREACHERY.

There are yet few more State elections to
take Place, and consequently the Globe con-
linues to viuperate the friends Of the Admins
traiion. 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 APP
peared in that Journal nor is any thing likely 10
appear until the fall elections are over, which
will admit Of a construction in hostility 10 the
professions Of Federal Whiggery Allits at
iscks are against The "renegades and apostates;"
and all the friends Of The Administration who
supported Harrison and Tyler in 1910 are ere
negades--while alihe friends Ofthe President
who support, d General Jackson are "apostates."
All these sustain the yeioes, and are the uncom-
promising opponents Of Mr.. Clay-and yet the
Globe assails them exclusively, while nothing
is said calculated to displease Mr.. Clay.
A day or two ago the Globe made pretence
OF opposition TO Mr.. CIay's opinions on the ia
IiH, in a review Of his Georgia leuer. 1t was
only pretence for the protective principle at
tributed to MIR. Clay which it pretended to as
sail-and The assault was characterized by an
extraordinary degree Of mildness-was idenli-
cal with that entertained by large portion Of
the Democracy of New York and Massachu-
sets, and substantially the same that was pro-
mulgated unfortunately by the recent Demo
cratic State Convention held at Syracuse So
that this attack on Mr. Clay BY the Globe, was
the very thing desired by Mr. Clay himself, and
has doubtless won more converts TO the Wing
party in the North, than the efforts Of any Wing
paper could have done And thus, while SEEM
ing 10 aim its arrows at the common enemy, the
Globe enjoys The savage satisfaction Of seeing
its barbed shafts penetrate the breasts Of its
con6diug friends; for il not only inctes the De
mocrats in favor Of protection 10 unite with the
Whigs, but condemns the Democratic Senators
and members of the House who voted for The
bill Of 1912, and arrays itself against the resolu-
tions 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
1872 From the peculiar time selected by the
Globe for its demonstration, we are led to sus-
pect that il was "concered movement

Mr. Clay can be elected by the People, then we

the cause, if he were to be amiable to the Pre-

IRISH REPEAL-MR. o'CONNELL's ARREST.
The most exciting item of news by the re-
cent steamer is the armed dispersion of the peo-
pie Of Ireland at Cloutarf, and the subsequent
arrest of Mr.. O'Connell and eight-others upon
charge Of conspiracy and misdemeanor"
against the Government The issue is now
fairly formed between the Repealers in Ireland
and The British Government. BY this arrest
Mr.. O'Connelps position, in our opinion, is
strengthened He has all along contended
for the repeal Of the act Of Union, which he
has declared TO be odious TO the people
Of Ireland and oppressive to his country. Com
