PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
THE WAR RENE WE'D.

The Globe OF last evening contains Wahtoh
attack on President Tyler, and deliberate re-
newal Of the war against the annexation OF
Texas, as was sought to be accomplished by
this Administration.
Let the attack come now. if il must come
we are ready for it. 1t cannot now affect The
election for Col. Polk Is ALREADY ELECTED.
The second page of the Globe is filled with
the .sgreat Mr. Benton's" fulsome and scken-
ing selfpraise, 10 poor, hall-begging and nan
denouncing speech delivered at 81. Louis,
agains, the treaty Of annexation. Every Wig
paper we receive from the West, has copied
this same speech to induce Democrats to vote
against Col Polk. The Wing paper at Jones'
boro', Tennessee, has circulated extras, con-
tanning similar speeches. delivered by this same
Missouri Senator. And now the Globe seizes
upon this pretexl, at this particular junclure, TO
recommence the war against President Tyler
and his Administration.
A majority Of the People of the United States
have, we soemnly believe, just rebuked the
Wing majority in the Senate Tor rejecting the
Tyler treaty." as the Globe and Col. Benton
call it. The election of Col. Polk is most trl
umpbant vindlcation of President Tyler against
the many ISLANDERS and vile charges brought
forward by the Wing Senators. the Globe and
MIR. Benton, and is an emphatic decision OF APP
prevail of his treaty.
Although the Globes editorial attack on Pre-
sident Tyler is an elabo ate article, and may
have been written in May last, and reserved
ill this time. we are unwilling to attack back
again, until the whole Democracy Of the Union
shall see and acknowledge the fragrant provoca-
tions of Mr. Blair, and admit the necessity of
faying him.
The object of the Globe is TO usurp the con-
troll of the Republican party and 1t presumes,
at juncture like this, that il may safely assume
TO direct it, and that no one will be likely dis
pute its title to the dictatorship, while the land
is filed with rejolcngs.
We need not warn the party against the
Vaccinations of the Globe, its evil purposes are
already sufficiently understood and appreciated,
and would have long since been appropriately
punished, but for reasons which now no longer
exist
Opposed to annexation itself, because of the
famous "armistce," which Col Benton declares
did exist il is not TO be wondered at that the
Globe attempts to make a show Of consistency,
by continuing lis incessant savage assaults on
Republican President, who never deserved
them, or provoked them, but who happened to
cause treaty of annexation TO be negotiated
and concluded, without first obtaining the "great
Missouri Senator's" permission 10 do so!
The man who labored, perhaps, the most as
sidiously of all others, TO secure the consum-
nation of the treaty which the Globe and Col
Benton now so iercely condemn, was GENERAL
JACKSON He approved the treaty, heartily and
unquali6edly, and we are willing to put his
Judgment against Col. Benton's.
Cor. Polk, the PRESIDENT ELECT Of the Uni
ted States, was in favor of it, and so were all
his chief friends and confidential advisers.
If the Globe can prosecute successful war
against |" the Texas plot" as it has been der-
sively called, with such odds as there will be
against him, the editor shall have our vote TO be
Emperor-a second successful regular featured,
smooth-browed, eagle-eyed Napoleon.
