The following paragraph is taken from a
late number Of the ALABAMA TnBuNE, Cal
houn paper recently established in Mobile
"The Washington Globe and Mr.. Benton are en-
gagged most fruitessly in their attacks on the late
Ashburton treaty, and what may appear somewhat
strange the National Intelligencer is hand and glove
with its quoudam enemies. We glad to find,
however, that neither Of these papers has any sup
porters without the precincts of Wellington
Here, and every where throughout the country, we
believe, the treaty is entirely approved. We in this
section, look upon II of definitely settling several
~ difficult questions which II was the interest Of the
South the West and tie Middle States TO bring to q
speedy conclusion and the able and sagacious Sc a
tors who lent their influence TO have IT adopted are
considered too wise and too patriotic either TO have
overlooked the claims of their own country, or to
have succumbed TO the demands Of Great Britain.
