That our Republican readers may see that
the Globe was not the apologist and supporter
Of MI Clay In 194l, we offer brief editorial
from that print commenting with no little seVe-
riy on the conduct of The dictator" we
doubt very much, after committing himself so
unresevedy against his sold friend and com
nexion by marriage" in lS4l, whether Mr. Bar

THE yACOBIN CLUBS.
The standard and classic works which now
issuing from the French and English pressthe his
torical works Of Theirs, and Carlyle and others
will put il in the power Of the rising generation oil
America to study the history of the JacobiD CLUBS
which ruled all legislation and all Government IN
France during the early part OF the Revolution, ana
which have Just been initiated and established N GU,
| country. The French Jacobn Club--the parent
club which sat in Paris--was invention to enable
Robespierre to govern the Legislative Assembly and
the Convention. In these Clubs the dictator assem-
bled his party every night, made them agree to every
measure which he proposed, and bound them to sup
port the next day in the House. In this way all
legislation done in the club, and, nothing was
done there but that which Robespierre ordered, it
resulted that he became the sole legislator OF France
The machinery Of the Jacobn Club effected tins /;
| and, in like manner, the machinery OF the caucus
dictation has enabled Mr. ii. Clay to become the sole
legislator Of America during the memorable session
OF the Hundred Days. Saving the two bills wrecked
upon the rock of the two yctoes, his bill was law
So far the two houses Of Congress were concern
ed, he was the sole legislator; and the two Houses
met early every morning, he had ordered to regis
ter the DEGREES which he had dictated the night be-
! FORE In the House Of Representatives the tyranny
and despotlsm of the gag sienced debate and van
pushed opposition, and the DEGREES were registered
| nearly as fast as read 10 the Senate, where de-
termination to resist the gag, "epn unto DEATH pre-
vented its application, the result was still the same,
though more slow. The dictatOr's DEGREES were all
registered in the end but the freedom of speech be-
ing still maintained the DEGREES, though passed, we've
discussed and xposed, and subjected to adherence
and disdain. The same to nominations The die
tator put of all TO the last and passed all All e1-
cept one the head piper, were passed And all tins
by caucus dictation, in imitation of Jacobinicalclub-
ism.
The session which has just closed-the one which
from its acts may be called the TAX-DEBT-and
PLUMBER SESSlON-has the honor of original
ing the Jacobln Club system in the United States
for, Notwithstanding we have always had, and Tor
ever snail have political meetings, called caucuses,
yet all these meetings have heretofore been for pol
zeal and Legislature objects for agreeing upon cand
dates, or upon the time the mode OF doing thing
and not for the purpose of binding the whole party TO
support or oppose law in the Hou G, according to
the orders OF the master spirit in the caucus. This IS
what is new in America. This is what was done IN
France. This is tyranny, despotism, disgrace, rum
to all legislation, and end if moi stopped, IN the
destruction Of Representative Government.
