THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
That it is the settled purpose of the seli-con-
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
terpo-e his vast influence for The prevention Of
the accomplishment of Mr.. Benton's diabolical
party designs against the Treaty OF Washing
ton, we think we shall be able to make suffc-
emily apparent to our readers.
That the slercolyped terms "disgraceful"
and 50 dishonorable" 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 ratlfed--and ratified by large
majority Of both the Wing nd Democratic Sc
majors voting on it. The responsibility of The
Executive existed mainly before the ratification
after that event the Senators Of both parties
became its endor,ers. Hence, the continued
assaults Of the Globe cannot be intended to G-
But what is the Globes objecl2 II cannot
be aborng TO prejudice Mr.. Tyer's prospects
in 1874, with the Republican party, for ii daily
repeats It's positive assurance that his name
shall not be introduced in the Conventon-ihat
he has no party any where--and that 1t is arca-
dy determined he shall leave the city on the
/ 5lh March, l9i5, at which time il is predicted
n IL, a..
terms "dishonorablen and " disgraceful1 daily
applied by the Globe Dictalors to The Treaty,
cannot be intended to operate against the Treaty
itself or the Administration. Hence it follows
| Gf the Globe adopts Mr.. Clay's brag in good
earnest, that Mr.. Tyler is "a President without
pary") 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 republsh the reasons which he
deemed sufficient 10 justify his course in rcla-
ton to the Treaty.
Mr. Calhoun (taken from his speech in secret
session. thus continues his reasons for support
ing the Treaty, which may also be regarded a.
his defence against he insidious assaults Of Mr..
Benton:
/ Having now shown-satisfsctorily, he hoped-that
Maine has acted wisely for herself in asserting to the
treaty II remained 10 be considered whether we the
I representatives Of the Union such questions,
would not also do in ratifying it, far at least
the boundary question is involved. He would add
nothing to what had already been said Of the portion
/ in which Maine was immediately interested. His
\ remarks would be confined TO the remaining portion
Of the boundary, extending from the northwestern
corner Of that State TO the Rocky Mountains.
