THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

lhat II is the setlied purpose OF the seil-coh-
stituted Dictators of the Globe. to expel Mr.
Calhoun from the Republican ranks, merely 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.. Benlon's diabolical
party designs against the Treaty of Washing
ton, we think we shall be able TO make suffic.
emily apparent TO our readers.
That the slereolyped terms "disgracefu"
and s. dishonorabe" now daily applied to the
Treaty by the " imperial Globe" are not aimed
at the Administration, must be acknowledged
by every one who reflects that the Treaty has
long since been rati6ed-and ratified by large
majority Of both The Wing and Democratic Sc
majors voting on it. The responsibility Of The
Executive existed mainly before the rat fcaton
after that event the Senators o. both parties
became its endor,ers. Hence, the continued
assaults of the Globe cannot be intended TO ID
jure the Administrator, or TO defeat The Treaty.
But what is the Globes object2 Ii cannot
be abotng to prejudice Mr.. Tyler's prospects
in 1914, with the Republican party, for ii daily
repeats lis positive assurance that his name
shall not be introduced in the Conventon--that
he has no party anywhere-and that il is alrea-
dy determined he shall leave the city on the
9Th March, 1915, at which time it is predicted
the Madsonian will fall. We repeat that the
terms +" dishonorable' and dissracefuln daily
applied by the G. ODE Dictators TO The Treaty,
cannot be int nded TO operate against the Treaty.
a. a., f,I
! &c the Globe adopts Mr.. Clsy's brag in go, d
earnest, that Mr.. Tyler is "a President without
partyn) that all these poisoned arrows are fired
over the White House at the breast of Mr.. Cal
houn
] Therefore in justice to Mr. Calhoun, we are
disposed TO rcpubish the reasons which he
deemed sufficient 10 justify his course in rela-
ton to the Treaty.
/ MIR Calhoun (taken from his speech in secret
SESSION. thus continues his reasons for support
1 ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded as
his defence against The insidious assaults Of Mr..
/ Benton:

representatives Of the Union on such questions,

nothing TO what had already been said Of the portion

remarks would be confined to the remaining portion
Of the boundary, extending from the northwestern
