HUMBUGGED!

The pIecoHcerted arrangement 10 renew the
Texas difficulties under Mr. Folks Adminlstra,
ton is not destined TO work well for the conspi-
rators. We see but three or -four papers, all OF
them anti Annexation, and a majority OF them
Abolition prints have responded 10 the signals
of the Globe, and stood out on a sinister tack
10 bear down upon the ex-Presldent for de-
spateAing the Joint Resolution TO Texas. The
attack on the ex-President is a mere prelence
although they hate that prosecuted individual
with an internal malgnity, yet their assault on
him is merely designed TO cover a desperate
attack on Mr.. Calhoun, on the entire South, on
all, IN shon, who dared TO thwart the Globe
and Mr.. Benton in their iniquitous designs 10
establish and perpetuate dictatorial and tyran-
meal power, paramount 10 the Executive, and
superior TO the Constitution itself, which would
enable mere tnumvirale of Jacobns in Wash.
inglon to control the operations of the party, and
by this means TO govern the country, themselves
and their heirs and assigns, forever.
The ex.President nipped the grand scheme Of
the conspirators in the bud, and II is natural
that they should now vent their venom at him.
He was aware that they designed 10 make a flu
rious movement upon Mr. Polk, as soon as he
should be installed as President, with a view TO
induce him TO discard the Joint Resolution, and
Z" stand the hazard Of the dien on Mr.. Benton's
project. He knew that they meditated renew
al OF the war, and that they were tooFeeply
committed to retreat from the position which
they had maintained during The Presidential
contest. And he knew that the original and
consistent advocates of immediate Annexation
would rally in. deposition 10 another attempt 10
secure Texas by negotiation, while the other
mode remained untried, - and thus he saw, and
Mr.. Polk no doubt saw, that if Executive action
were delayed until after the Inauguration, the
Democratic party would probably be convulsed
with internal strife during the entire existence
of the ensuing Administration.
More than one rabid press has been led into
the commission Of an awkward bluuder by pre-
cipitately following the lead Of the enemies of
Texas. Before MIR. Tyler is condemned for
having acted as he did in this matter, it might
be well TO ascertain whether Mr.. Polk himself
condemned such action. Mr.. Polk, we know,
had the magnanimity to desire the consumma-
ton of the measure during the administration of
Mr.. Tyler-and be will be the last 10 detract
from his fame
But if Mr.. Ben,on's project were TO be acted
upon, and treaty should be negotiated, there
would not be chance of its ratification by
two-thirds vote And hence we believe its sup
porters were never heartily in favor of Imme-
date Annexation.

EXTENSIVE FIRE--PRoposED RELIEF

Between eight and nine o'clock last night, and du
ring the performance of Beauty and the Beast an
alarm was given in the National Theatre that the oil
room, in the rear Of the building was on fire. For
tunaely, the large audience and the members Of the
theatrical corps wereenabed with safety effect their
escape. The theatre was scarcely vacated, before
the flames burst through the roof in the rear, and
owing to interior dryness, but few minutes elapsed
before the immense body was in flames, and large ig-
ned Goals like me,eors, fell in showers in every d
recton. The scene was indeed awfully sublime, and
was witnessed by thousands of both sexes and all
conditions Nothing but the large walls of the ed-
fee are standing Mr.. Burton was the lessee. and
we have been informed that he has suffered very
heavy loss in the destruction of his entire wardrobe
independently OF the suspension Of his amusements
The loss OF property, however, was not confined 10
the theatre; the fire communicated to buildinos
almost Immediately adjoining, several of which
shared the fate the theatre while others had
their roofs burnt of of course furniture and other
effects were much damaged in their removal In all,
about nine houses and three four stables and out
buildings suffered from the confsgration The
Globe office was in imminent DANGER but to the wind
blowing in an opposite direction, and the efforts of
the fremen may be attributed its escape.
Since writing the above, we have been reouested to
publish the following
NorIcE "A meeting of citizens and strangers will
be held IN Washington, at Fuiler's Hotel tomorrow

JUSTICE TO JOHN TYLER.

The tern has almos, expired for which this em-

desnles Of his county.
We arc extremely gratifed that the President, 10y a
Wise and prudent administration Of the Gosefnment
has oulsed the calumnes Of his accusers and pTo.-

weak and ueacherous Chief Magistrate as he was
frequently styled by the wings, retires sppauded and
approved by his countynen, while his accusers are

statesmen posterty viii award 10 Mr. Tyler the
highest praise for the manner and good which has

and were escorted 10 rooms at Fuller's hotel by a

from the Empire and White Eagle Clubs of New

We cannot agree with some of our conem-
poraries, that il is TO be regretted the Southern
Democratic Senators have evinced desire not
10 precpitate matters in relation to this ques
lion with England. Every difficulty may be
obviated by negolialion-and no effort will be
spared, We are quite confident, by the President
and Secretary Of State, 10 arrive at such re-
suit. They will undoubtedly endeavor, as the
late President and Secretary of State endeav-
ored to bring about an amicable and salisfacto-
ry adjustment. Our title being "clear and un-
questionable" we are satisfied we will soon
have possession /; for Great Britain would very
reluctantly engage in a war with US, even with
the right on her side: how much more reluc-
ranl, then, will she be to resort to hostilities
without any adequate justification?
But preciptate action on the part of Con-
gress might have prevented an advantageous
settlement of the difficulty. The domi nant
party and the country have confidence in the
ability and patriotism of those who will direct
and conduct the negotiations, already auspi-
cously begun to happy and glorious termina-
ton.
