RESCUE.
The Globe has at last thrown off in paroIysm
Of rage its thin covering Of decency and The
editor Of the Globe, the friend Of Mr.. Benton, IN
order to sustain his unhallowed coalition with Lewis
Tappan and the abolitionsts, with Messrs. Clay and
Webster, and the Federasts, modern and blue-!isbt
and with Mr.. Packenham and the rapacious British
government, has charged Mr. Tyler with want Of
patriotism, MIR. Calhoun with desire to dissolve the
Union, and endorses the sentiments Of Mr.. Van Blu

1t is said that the editor Of the Globe is penning hi
paragraphs from sick bed II may be that the fever
has attacked his brain and diseased his intellect
Certain it is that if the editor Of the Globe were ,o
rise by stealth, raving maniac from his sick bed
and rush naked through the public streets, he would
not then be object ridiculous and pitfu than
he is now. He INDUCES in the gravest charges OF

What could have induced Mr.. Van Buren, TO write
his letter against the annexation of Texas How
shall we account for Mr. Benton's course' These
letters were written under the following crcumsan-
ces General Jackson had emphatic ally expressed
in strong, nervous, and decided letter, to
the People Of the United States, hi, opinion
and wish tia, Texas shosld be Immediately annexed
to the Union "rhe present golden opportunity must
not be lost, else Texas is lost to US forevern-
The entire Democratic press of three fourths Of the
Union had assumed position Of unqualified support
OF the project Of annexation. The Democratic
Convention Of Missouri had not more than three
weeks before the appearance of this letter Of Mr.
Van Buren's, expressed the desire Of the People of
that State for exalien in the most deliberate and
solemn form.
The veteran editor Of the Enquirer, on whose 50.
gaci'y and patriotism 50 much reliance, by so many
oil his ieiIow-countrymen, Is placed, had advocated
Annexation in the most unqualified form.
MIR. Calhoun, who fills strong position in the az
fections OF the party, the Secretary Of State
the Administration under whose auspices the Treaty
OF Annexation had been m l,ured
The Democratic Legislature Of Pennsylvania had
expressed favorable opinion on this subject, the
Fsdsrdias voting in solid phalan. against it in that
body.
Charles J. Ingersoll the staunch and talented Re-
publican, was known 10 be in the act Of preparing
his convincing report on this subject. Mr.. Buchan-
an was known TO be friend Of Annexation. Sena-
tor Walker, of Mississippi, had written his letter

and West were known TO be almost zen masse" in
favor of Annexationj and, with these facts before
his eyes,as II mady bent on the entire disorgauz
the utter confusion and destruction OF his party Mr.
Van Buren, OPPOSES Annexation on grounds which
inconsistent with his course when Secretary OF
State during Gen. Jackson's Administration
grounds which impugn directly the character and
patriotism Of Gen Jackson, and in term, which, il
they do not evidently show at leas, raise strong
suspicion OF full understanding between MIR Clay
aud himself in reference 10 tho course which il was
thought polite for their mutual interest to pursue
this subject. We wish to falslfy no mans his,o-
