Government of falsehood and fraud in order that he
may eIeulpate aud pay fusome compliment TO q
powerful foreign Government the most hostile 10
his own.
II is we'll, indeed, for some Of our distinguished
public men that there is no such crime known
10 the law as constructive reason-and that treason
il Judged and punished not according TO The amount
of injury which the traitor has designed 10 nfiet
upon his country but according to the manner OF It,
otherwise some of aspiring statesmen might hnd
themselves exalted above the rest Of the community
in style not very aattering TO their seflove, and
might have an opportunity, to quote the classic Ian
guage employed by Mr. Webster in his reply TO MIR.
Hayne, of showing their agility by "dancing upon
nothing
The acquisition of territory has always been con
sidered of the greatest benefits that nation
could achieve, and the loss Of II of the greatest
misforiunes To prevent the acquisition, therefore,
when such acquisition can be made without any VIC.
laton whatever Of public law, is hardly less crime
against the State, than to seek to dismember it, And
if the real motive Of such conduct be TO promote the
interests Of party rather than Of the country, TO
advance the of individual, with the view OF
prohtng directly or indirectly by the elevation OF that
individual, or depression of another, the turptude is
less than if the nducement could be exactly es-
mated in dollars and cents The treason of Al
mold, in attempting to sell our strong hold to the
enemy, during the Revolutionary war, for specific
sum in money, was merely more obvious to common
apprehension but not greater in kind or degree than
the treason of those who now seek, from party or
personal motives to deprive the country of strong
hold and ofvaluable territory which is likely to fall
into the possession or under the control of power
ful and hostile foreign government.

PREVENTING MR.. CLAWS DEFEAT.

We have it from pretty good authority that the
Globe clique will Immediately adopt measures TO pre-
vent the defeat Of Mr.. Clay by means Of a reunion
Of the Democratic party.
Mr. Tyler is 10 be assaed for doing as Washing
ton and Jackson did-nsy, as the Democratic ma
jority in Congress has done-viz recognizing the
existing government Of Rhode Island Mr. Tyler
in favor Of free sufrsge-in favor Of every law
ful means being used TO accomplish il but as the
Executive OF the nation, the Constitution compelled
him 10 recognise the existing government of Rhode
lslaod at the time Of the difficulties in ls42 The
members Of Congress, elected under the existing
Constitution Of Rhode Island were recognised and
permitted TO take their seats last winter, by the De-
mocratic majority.
When the Executive was called on to prevent
bloodshed, by the Governor Of Rhode Island he was
bound to respond. lie did respond not to take
either side Of the question: but to keep the citizens
from spilling blood His attitude was that Of a faith
err standing between his children, and keeping them
apart.
lis true that Mr. Dorr lacked the courage TO do
misunderstanding run away every time he was con-
fronted-but the Executive could not know he was n
coward. We think the poor fellow should be lbe.
rated by the authorities Of Rhode Island--indeed
we we're opposed to his incarceration But he ia
not the man to make hero and the clique will be
laughed at all over the United States
