"TYLER AND TEXAS"
The Globe Of Monday came out for 1sras,
and Of course, for Tyler" Tyler and Texas
being one and indivisible" 1t will be in vain
for the Globe to separate the Shiboleth, nor can
i steal this issue from him to whom it belongs
II the Globe goes for Texas, it goes for tyler
too;" if it is for annexation, it annexes itself to
1.-THE Tyler party" 1t may squirm at this like
an eel, and endeavor to writhe itself out of its
dilemma BY means of its own slipperyness, but
it has swallowed the hook-the bare hook-and
henceforward belongs to Tyler.
Is Mr.. Van Buren, for annexation Answer
this. question, Mr.. Globe, ay or no. Let the PEG.
pie know whether he is to be found on this, as
on every other important question that has ever
agtated the country or divided parties, on both
sides! AS he was opposed to annexation when
President, and rejected the application of the
Texan Minister, Mr.. Hunt to be annexed to
the United States, it is to be presumed, judging
from his uniform course in regard to all other
subjects, that he is now on the other side; being
consistent only in his uniform inconsistency lin
advocating principle or measure one day, and
opposing it the next; in giving an opinion against
measure one day, and one in favor of it the
next. We therefore take it for granted that Mr..
Van Buren,, having been few years ago decid-
eddy opposed to annexation, is noa0 in favor OF
it, But if he expects to "head Captain Tyler"
on this issue, he will find himself egregiously
mistaken, the Captain having got too much the
start Of him upon it, and having the alterate
Shiboleth of tyler and Texas in his favor.
1.-THE CREATURES AT IT'S DIRTY WORK"
ave have seen it stated in the papers that
the Legislature of Tennessee (Whig) lately re-
solved that there was no g bargain and corrup-
ton" between Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay, in 1925,
when Mr. Clay made Mr.. Adams President of
the United States, and Mr.. Adams appointed
Mr. Clay Secretary of State. Legislatures may
"resolve and re-resolve," and majority Of the
people OF the United States, who were old
enough in 1925 to form an opinion, will die in
the belief that it was foul transaction, to say
the least oft. If we could have assurance OF a
lease of life until Messrs. Adams and Clay could
clear up their characters in regard to the g bar
gain" of 1925 alone, we would have hopes OF
living to see the millennium, or of living thou
sand years at least"
The above is from the Globe of Saturday.
Would any human being, unacquainted with the
fact believe that the creature who wrote it, him
self counselled Mr.. Clay to vote for Mr.. Adams,
approved of his vote after it was given, and was
one of the committee to give him public re-
ception and dinner on his return from Washing.

the inefable scorn which every honest man
must feel for creature so lost to truth and de-
cency, and SO utterly regardless Of public opin-
ion, as these facts show this devils journeyman
to be! Devils Jowneyn'an, did we say! lie
