THE WASHINGTON GLOBE"

md half Of mingled lnsnuations, direct
charges, aud unrruths, IN reference TO the dis
a,,rous results Of The late elections in Connec-
ticu, and Virginia. The editor Of the Globe
thinks himself ve'y cunning man, ana he is a
very cunning person; but his cunning "wonf
save his bacon" at this junciure. We say II
with Joy, with exultaiOn that the influence OF
tina, journal and its supporters is now gone for
srer. The proofs Of selfshness, the evidence
of lreachery to the best interests of the Demo
cratic party, are now apparent to the ieeblest
and least informed MUD in the country. Mr..
Bentens pretert Of opposition to the Treaty Of
Annexation is a, ilimsy as his patriotism, and
the evident disposition on the part Of the Globe
10 abandon its position, assumed some few days
since, in favor of Annexation, convicts the edi-
Tor of that journal at once of nsincerity and
selhshness. Then he thought Van Buren, would
favor Anne xation, and be the candidate of the
Democratic party no1e the scene has changed,
and he has changed too. Here is sublime
spectacle of patriotism and principle We
boldly make the issue for the Annexation of
Texas, against all opposition from any and eve
Ty quarter. ThePeore are with us; Jackson, with
bis. name " a tower Of strength" is with us; Cal
houn is with us; the honor and the interests Of the
country are with us. Opposed 10 US are the
Clay Wings, the British Government, the Van
Buren, and Benton corporal's guard, in alliance
with Lewis Tappan, and the Abolilionisrs.-
This notorious Abolitionist (Tappan) has deter
mined that his great coad jutors in favor Of Bri-
fish interests shall not be before him in tina,
work This "Werld's Convention" hero has
Just published his decree TO the Aboitionists of
the United States against the admission of
Texas into the, Union. We have the almost
united public opinion Of the South and West in
favor of Annexation, and that of the great body
of the People Of the Northern and Middle
States. We have opposed to Us, AN unholy
combination of fsclious interests, bent on sus-
tanning their hopes Of public plumber and the
British feeling towards American institutions
The question is, Shall America or England
succeed in this great battle We await the
response,which shall follow from the american
People.
The Globe, with its accustomed injustice and
fuiiily, endeavors 10 attribute the fallen for
dent. He appeals TO The Connecticut and vr-
ginia elections. Our course, in which we diff
fered with the large majority of our friends in
Connecticut has been fully explained to the
People We still entertain those opinions and
occupy that ground. We are no party TO
Virginia elections, it is notorious fact
that The Globes statement is false. The
only portion Of the State in which the Demo
Gratis have gained anything, is that portion in
which Tyler men we're rus or in which the In
fuence Of John Tyler's name was felt. We
appeal TO the recorded evidence of the fact
We ask the Democratic party TO look 10 Wise's
old district, in which Mr.. Tyler resides, former
ly CS40) the strongest Wig district in the
State, Mr.. Bayley, Democrat, is returned to
Congress. Garrett, a Democrat, is elected to
the Senate, aud the counties have sent as many
Democrats as Wings TO the Legislature. Look
at Gloucester, Matthews, King and Queen,
Tyler, Ohio James City, New Kent, and let
the truthful editor Of the Globe repeal his
charge. We can carry the Presidential cleo
lion on the Texas question. This is the safe
ground for the Democracy to stand upon
What right have Benton and Van Buren, to ex-
pect the Democratic party TO wheel about and
turn about, aud jump jim Crow" on great ma
