was very bad, we had of the Oldest soldiers in

from Aurora, over seventy years of age, came up
boldly TO the Convention and took his stand under the

claimed it as his opinion that he was the only man

The Federal press of New York continues in
full clamor against the removal Of Curtis from
the Collectorshp at New York. They alledge
that dishonorable propositions were made by
Mr.. Robert Tyler TO Mr.. Clinton on that sub
ject; and the notorious Webb, of the Courier
and Enquirer even goes 50 far as to say that
Mr.. Clinton should at once have knocked him
down. Does MIR. Clinton say that dishonorable
propositions were made to him Does he say
that he was insulted7 We should like 10
know. We believe no such thing. We have
never regarded Mr. Clinton as other than a
man Of high character, who would neither
make or receive dishonorable proposillon.-
He surely would not have brooked ALI insult
from any quarter, any more than Webb. AS TO
such poor contemplate libellers as The Courier
and Enquirer and the American, we care moth
ing for them; and we dare say the President has
lost not wink Of sleep from their attacks. We
have no doubt, however that if any insult, di
erect or indirect, has been offered to Mr.. Clinton
in his name, by any member Of his family, he
we do not believe that any such insult has been
offered, in any manner the most remote.

THE GLOBE AND ANNEXATION"

We are Glad TO learn from the good editor OF
The Globe, that after recovering from a painful
illness, he is determined TO engage in the adyo-
cacv Of leading measure OF the ADMINISTERS
sion. Whether he has been visited with Ger
tain compunciions or not, we need not pause 70
inquire; il suthces that he is al Length con-
strained 10 do Justice TO John Tyler" al least
90 one point.
We desire il to be distinctly understood-and
we speak upon advisement-that the measure
had no connection with partisan views in lis
origin; that the President considered II great
national measure, beneficial and necessary TO
the whole country and, finally, that whatever
effect it may have on the organizations OF the
day, Il was not designed TO operate specially Tor
or against any particular party.
Hence, il the Globe, or any other organ of
Mr.. Van Bures, shall attempt to appropriate the
measure in a manner TO operate on the Balri-
more Convention, or at the polls, we shall de-
nounce such proceeding. We will denounce
il both because Of its intrinsic injustice and It's
impolicy--its injustice TO the President, (whom
the Globe has basey villifed for years, without
measure,) and lis impoIicy in identify ing the
measure with party now in the minority, and
doomed TO speedy downfall-certainly doomed
under the weight of Messr.. Kendall and Bar'
whether their candidate be Mr.. Van Buren, or
any one else.
Therefore we declare tina, we have no prefer
ence between the parties in reference TO this
measure. We feel as much anxiety for Wing
support as Democratic support in the Senate
aud between Van Buren, and Clay We have no
partality for the former.
N. B. Will the Hon. the Secretary of War,
be kind enough to oblige US, by favoring US with
q copy of his address on the subject of the An
neIation of Texas, which The Globe was kindly
"permitted" to insert yesterday evening?
