The work goes brsvey on
Progress Of the New Movement for Conn
nercial Treaties-Adhesion OF the WASH
ington Globe.
One OF the most remarkable events of the day Is
certainly the movement recently made by Mr. Web.
ster in Baltimore, towards a more comprehensive
and liberal policy to be pursued by the United States
in relation to commercial matters. On every side
The truth, beauty, simplicity, and good of
this movement, making converts and provoking
discussion. The politicians and the journals Of the
most ultra schools are asionshed and paralysed at
the force and popularity OF the new impulse. One
or two ultra wing papers that came out at the first
blush against the movement, have shrunk back
alarmed and ashamed of their effrontery.
But the great wonder Of the day is the full and
complete adhesion now given 10 the policy by
the /" Washington Globe" the organ Of the ultra
locoiocos, and of Mr.. Van Buren's chances for the
presidency We annex the whole of the article from
that paper which is curious its approval Of the
policy it is in its objections to Mr. Webster
as The minister to carry it into efiect:-

employing high-arif man like Daniel Webster, who
has been retained of and advocate

of having full minister at the Court of St James, he
cannot fulfil the duties Of his Office and appoint
special commissioners settle all question which arise
hetween the two Governments. We never hear of Mr..

And these very desirable objects cannot be attained
otherwise than by treaty spulatisns, think due to
the Democratic party that the negotiations this impor

United States have shown themselves dissatisfied with
whom Mr.. Webster the leader and any negotiations
touching the tariff question ought to be conducted and
completed by the Democrats The American people have
shown clearly that such their wish and expectation

The objection TO Mr.. Webster may be easily OBJ

care therefore, and come on the popular ground in

these movements and ntrigues for the future.
Thus it is. All the ultra parties OF past times seen
to.be crumbng to pieces before the free souls, tn,
free thoughts and the free press of the present day
Mr.. Webster only takes position in the van of
mighty revolution that has been preparing Tor Ter
years past He who will not join it, or get out of it
progress, will be crushed into oblivion.

"neither Mr. Webster, nor the shipowners who ap
plaud his speech are very consistent Pray, does
Charles King know the interests of the shipowner
better than the ship owners themselves? The los

conclusion, in politics, that "two and two don
