Non. wa are bound to say, have contributed more
To bring our fair sister this deplorable conduon'
than the CLIQUE Of corrupt politicians who have con-
trolled, still control, and must commune " ''o'
the columns Of the Globe.
With the design to fortify itself within the Democra
tic sn,renchmsn,s We're il e inraes.oe to SUM-
cratic precincts ~ party its opposition to Demo
.A1tlc measures is efficient and destructive.
Yesterday evening the Globe contained leading
article protesting TO advocate the annexation of
Texas. 1t was so framed as be calculated to pro-
duce the impression on the unwary that the editor
was a friend of the measure. Here is an extract
however, from one of its involved paragraphs:
"Ths is the aspect which our correspondent (whose
name, il given, would be the sound of trumpet in
tho ears OF this country gives of the state Of things
growing out OF the premature and abortve treaty ,
which was with selfish haste thrown into the Senate
by our administration, under circumstances " Sc
cure It's defeat"
We have said the course of the Globe was susp-
cioust is more; il is absurd and its absurdity be-
trays its evil intentions. 1t is not satisfied with de-
nouncing the treaty and its friends, (among whom
Gen. Jackson has been from its origin one of the
most jealousy but it contends that its originators
strove ito secure its defeatW Then why has it not
applauded them' Why has it denounced them for
framing treaty which it opposes, and which, it says
they desired to be defeated Surely there could be
no grosser profgacy than that manifested by the
Globe clique since this measure has been brought
forward
After such manifestations of the sentiments
and purposes of this clique, how, We ask, can it
be expected that the Democratic party will
believe its professions of friendship towards the
measure of Annexation, under any circumstances
likely to arse' While it is aboriug to produce the
belief that II is in favor Of Annexation in the CO.
lumns Of the Gobe-and at the same time striving
10 prevent cooperation Of Mr. Tyler and his
friends with the Democratic party-let US lin the
curtain moment, and what it is doing, on the
Other side, for the British opponents of the mea-
sure.
During excursion last week in two of the States
near the District found in the hand of nearly
cry Democratic voter met, a voluminous pamph-
let composed exclusively Of Mr.. Van Buren's lei
ter, Mr. Bentons speeches, and the editorials Of the
Globe, against the Annexation Of Texas We UNI
derstood subsequently that the Central Committee of
Wig members Of Congress had ordered SOC, 900 CO.
pies Of this pamphlet to be printed. These members
of Copgress-W Wing membes-have been furnished
with the address Of the most prominent Democrats
In every township and school district the Western
and Southwestern States and are ranking this doc
ment to them ALL The object is to confront Demo-
cratic speakers on the stump, who oppose Mr. Clay
LOT ms opposition 10 1exas, with the productions of
Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr.. Benton, and the Globe Thus
the Globe and its friends are furnishing the Wings
with the most effective weapons to defeat the Demo-
cratic party!
Now is IT not apparent that If the Globe and its
clique were to take bold ground against the Demo-
cratic party, and avow themselves for Mr. Clay that
these productions would be spurned by every true
Democrat from his door, Then they would no lon
ger be read. Then they could do no further injury
And then, also, the Globes services could not be so
valuable to Mr.. Clay.
But The Globe has determined 10 keep footbold
IN the Democratic party, so that it may destroy it,
IL must have ingress, or II cannot fire the temple
We understand the editor Of the Globe is about
to erecta tall hickory pole 10 front Of his ofce-and
we understand further, that the Wing Committee of
members Of Congress arc chuckling at it, The
Wing Committee doubt consider the Globes bick-
DRY pole first rate gull-trap. 1t is by such means
the editor Of the Globe hopes to deceive the Dem
ocratic party, that he may be enabled to render
moro efficient aid to his two connections (Clay
H'i,icnden) by marriage"
