The Globe admits that England seeks TO lnstigate
a, seils war in the heart of Texas, means OF
bringing Texas within her power That The weak
ness of Texas-its severance from the hope oil sue
cor from the United States, by the election OF DIT
CLAW and the detection of Houston, and The
threats Of the vengeance of Mexico are relied upon |
as means of establ shng British influence IN Texas
That the purpose Of England is to enlist the influence
of France, Holland, Bel gum, and all the European
movers by which Texas has been recognised, and
combine their influence to dictate the policy OF the
independent States this continent ana concuues
by expressing hope that the "People OF The United
States and their children, the people OF Texas, VIII
prove to Great Britain that they can maintain 'he'r
rights on their own continent, and also on the high
way of nations
The insolence of the Globe is almost without
parallel. Who, we ask, is responsible Tor lhe weak
ness of Texasi Who denied TO Texas the and OF The
United States Who denounced the President 'or
the measures so wisely taken to counterac the de-
signs of England Does not every one know that
Col Benton, more than all Others, is The responsible
the guilty personi Does not every one know mat
upon his conscience, and upon hi" alone will rest
all tic consequences OF the invasion OF Texas The
blood the murders, the massacres, the loss of pro-
pery the suffering of innocent women and children
if Texas be invaded And did not the Globe, at his
bidding eat its words Did It not condemn
what it had approved' Was not no the apologist-
the euogist of England' And did not the GloSe
apologize for, and eulogse him Does not every one
know that Messrs Clay and Van Buren's letters
were published under his advisement and that neither
of them would have been published had not he and
his associates pledged themselves to unite with the
parisans of Mr. Clay in the Senate in rejecting the
treaty And why did they so pledge themselves
Was it not because they believed they could postpone
the Texas question until after the Presidential cleo
ton, and thu compel the people to choose between
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Van Buren, Did not MIR. Benton,
in his speeches. again and again admit that his OBJ
ject postpone the question OF annexation until
next year And does not every one know that Eng
land was pressing her negotiations with Mexico and
Texas, and that the only means OF arresting that
negotiation, was treaty OF annexatIon' VINO OPP
posed that treaty. Who defeated annexation' Who
took the side Of England Who is responsible for
the election of Mir. Clay, by uniting with him in OPP
posing anne xation and thus dividing the Democratic
pal on one of the main in the can,ass Are
not Col. Benton and the Globe the guilty parties'-
And vet now when Mr. Clay himse is brought
to see that he has committed error when the Demo-
cratic party uniting one man. in support OF
this GROWING measure, the Globe meany sGuiks and
endeavors 10 avoid the consequences Of lis guilt
by pretending that the treaty might have been rati
fed if it had been kept back for the correspon-
dence =
In the mean time call the attention of
our readers to the language of the London Times
confirming, as it does all that we have said
of the objects and policy Of England. We call upon
them to note the fact that while John q Adams, in
his bingham letter, says that opposition 10 annexa-
tia,, Aibe-weaaIs aG Great Rra 'nrthe Times says
first lime in history has England ope MY ayowed
her purpose OF creating British party among u.s.
For the hrst time has the leading British press ven
tured 10 assert that the election of one candidate
will be the triumph Of the American party, and BY
inference admitted that the election Of he other will
be the triumph of the British party in this
country. What American can read tins with
out sense Of degradation to think that he should
have lived TO see such issue presented TO
| the American People, and to know that there
should be question in the public mind on lsuch
| an issue Oh that we had the power to speak to
every voter, and that every one could know what
we know on this question. There is feeling in al
most every bosom which would answer to ours, and
the response would be-down with the ,raitors-no
RI IA IA, A.
Shall England deliberately plan, and shall men, pio-
Tossing to be American st tesmen, deliberately acqui-
esee IL combination of European monarchies for
the purpose Of regulating the relations and determn
ing the affairs of the Republican States Of this CONT
nent Shall we permit England to dictate, what our
relations to Texas or 10 Mexico shall be And doe,
Colonel Benton or the Globe suppose that the people
of this country do not see, that seeing they do not
know what the purposes Of England are or that thew
are srrayed on the side of England inviting her ag-
gresson, giving her coun,ensnce and support
We ask the people 10 read for themselves the fol-
lowing from the London Times:
TEXAS ANNEXATILN IN ENGLAND
"ln spite OF the naturalization by the Senate If
the United States of the treaty which was intended 20
annex Texas TO the Union, the circumstances at
tending that important though sbortive negotiation
have lel' lasting impression on all the parties inte

are concerned, the project OF annexation took its
origin as we have frequently observed IN the cleo.

IN any seri us appreheDsoDs OF foreign influence or
any profound system Of national policy In hi. re
spect the failure was complete; and in spite of the
tricks of Mr.. Tyler, and the dying denunciatons of
General Jackson, there little duub that the csnd
date Of the party most hostile to annexation will sue
coed TO the Presidency at the ensuing election. But
the effects TO which alude are those produced nv
the treaty, even in its incomplete state on the rela-
tons Of Texas itself TO Mexico, and TO other coun
tries. The negotiation Of that treaty proved TO Mex

a free stale but merely a d,shonest r.
