COMMERCIAL TREArIEs-MR. WKBsrER's Policy
CONVERSION OF THE "GLoBE," AND THE NEW
YORK COURIER" Nothing is more strongly indi-
canve OF the Importance OF the great project ioi
uniting The United States and Great Britain, on
terms equitable and advantageous TO both, and LOT
restoring the prosperity of this country than the
keen and animated discussions which II hasexclted,
amongst men of all parties from one END OF ine
Union TO the other. No other subject of public IN
teresr has for years excited such closesand univer-
sal attention. The ultras of both partiesare exceed
ingy alarmed. They cannot conceal their fears.
II would be strange, indeed, II they did not discover
considerable apprehe nson. This movement Of MIR.
Webster will have great and beneficial tenden-
cy. II will eventually seperate entirely the bank
upl,spoihunng politicians from the solvent and in
dustrious members OF the community 1t will efiec-
tuaIy Heutralize the evil influence of the rabid and
unprnced traders in the prosperity and best inter-
ests OF the nation-the men who have been sacrifi-
cling every thing in their pursuit of office and the
spols
OF course then the new policy will meet with
furious opposition from the corrupt money changers,
whom it is about to expel from the temple. The
bankrupt brokers and Spectators, who have been
pepetually dstracting the counryi with their cla'
mors about banks and the regulation of the curren-
cy, and the distribution of the LAM revenues, will
every effort TO oppose the new measures, which
promise restore peace and quiet TO the country,
and place the national prosperity on the sure basis
of the Just laws of equitable trade, which are al.
ways the laws of common sense. But into the
minds of the great mass of the community will grad
ualiy sink a full conviction ofthe wisdom and ne
cessty of adopting some such great, comprehensive
course of national policy, has been Swallowed
forth by Mr.. Webster. The people have become
heartily tired of witnessing the mere hack politi-
clans foundering from expedient to another,
leaving the affairs of the country, al every step,
still more perllous state than 1t has been ra
Their too expensive an amusement and he must have
small powers of observation, indeed, who cannot
perceive that the people are unwilling be fooled
any longer it.
The Washington Globe" has made show of
discussing Mr.. Webster's policy, in series of ella
borate articles. The Globe" has attacked the
project of the negotiation of commercial treaty
with England. chiefly on the ground of inexpedien-
cy 1t does not condemn the policy ITSELF in round
set terms. Not at all. But it acts good deal like
of those people who &c about creating distrust
and Jealousy amongst friends, not by open and direct
assertion accusation, but by skulking insinuaton,
and knowing shrugs of the shoulder and shakes of
the head And at the last it fairly lets the cat of
the bag 1t dlslikes the new movement because
Daniel Webster is at its head Thus does the
''Globe" reveal the secret of its opposition
1t great and noble object worthy of the brightest
minds and Purest hearts; but is not the offspring Of
Mr. Websters genius principles. Free trade is OF
the great doctrines of Democracy far
regards the policy OF protection; and the great
triumph OF humanity and policy is Consummated,
be- by Mr.. Webster and his friends but by the argu-
ments and exertons of the Democracy Of the United
States We therefore do not see why that gentleman
SHOULD exhibit the rare modesty Of placing himself at
the head the great impulse and affect to direct the
he has for many years oppOsedwe will do him
the justice to say, with much ability Why should he
become the hero and usurp the henors Of victory,
his mi ht3 And why most emphatically should he be
the agent, the prompter Of the agent selected to
say defeat with precise and definite meanings and
custom to deal out nuendoes nsinuations
shall proceed TO explain ourselves frankly We
not attacking Mr. Webster but discussing subject with
which he is seeking to become identified ny placing him
self al its head.
We have hardly any comments TO make this
frank and amusing revelation. II furnishes the most
conclusive evidence in the world OF the soundness
OF Mr. Webster's vlews-the sagacity which has
chosen the most favorable moment for their pro-
mulgaton-and affords satisfactory foresight of their
future extended popularity with the great masses OF
the people. The "Globe" impugns the motives of
MIR. Webster. He Is al ambitious man. it says.
We'll, We suppose no one imagines Mr.. Webster to
be devoid OF that ambition which anlmaes pub
llc But what has his ambition or love of power
10 do with the accuracy OF his views, and the pros
perty OF ms pohcyl great deal III the opinion of
the ''Globe" and the hacks oil the party-nothing
in the opinion of the intelligent whose inter-
ests are stake.
But one of the moat remarkable incidents in the
discussion now going on, this great subject, is
The sudden conversion OF the "New York Courier"
Light mas at length been given TO the blind, and the
Courier now manful.y and boldly comes out in
favor OF Mr. Webster's policy. The most violent
partzan press the interest of Henry Clay has thus
broken ground IN favor of the mighty movement
which will ultimately send all the corrupt bank
rupt, unprnciped, Office seeking politicians, Keeling
10 oblivion Look out for more signs in the hea-
vens. The end has not yet come.
