The Globe is again talking about disunion--dsci-
dodiy the most inauspcious sign for annexation we
have lately seen. Why drag in that charge bot To
weaken tho cause Of Texas by dividing and distract
ing her friends, aud giving aid and comfort 10 her
enomssf We have had this game before and Il
succeeded Is 1t 10 succeed now, when the hollow
nos OF It's proteDces and the malice OF It's orig
are transparent We shall see When the treaty
was brought before the Senate IL denounced be-
cause there was an armistice between Texas and
Mexico there was no armstice, and this shewn.
TWAS denounced further because there was war,be-
tween Texas and Mexico; the only war of Mexico
IS between her own hostile factions. Finally il was
denounced 80 AN enormous stretch Of Executive lu-
thor'iy lately representative Of THE same faction
IN the House, opposes the JOINT Resolution on the
ground That annexation can only be properly effected
by treaty. While the treaty was under coDsidera.
ton, II was an outrage The constitution TO acquire
territory by treay-no that the treaty is out OF the
question, II Is unlawful 10 acquire ii IN any other
way! And yet this clique the only true friends
OF Texas. All Others disunionsts and traitors
who talk about Texas, but desire only to dissolve the
Couiedsrncy and make MIR. Calhoun Emperor! How
long is this psitry shudlng to pass for craftsmanship
and ps,rloiisml
About month since the Globe oppressed The opln-
ion that annexation would be defeated in the Senate
by the Wings, and hat IT would be carried until
The Democratic party got the control of that body
very indefinite adjournment Of the question: 10 the
arbilrament Of most doubtful tribunals the
course oi the Northern Democrats in the House
shows The Globe IN the time is all for Tex
as-but II cannot abide dsunionists-lhey must be
killed OF hrst-the Democratic army must DO para
yzed by intestine strife, aud when II Is reduced TO
contemplate weakness by this process, then annexa
on shall be carried just the game Of the last ses
sion. The ueaty could have been carried, If the
Globe aud It's clique had not treacherously thrown
themselves IN opposition to a they professed
TO ia'or. Then, a. now, al the critical momenl, 1t
was taken with violent ut Of hatred TO disunon, un-
der presxt Of which it ght asssii Mr. Calhoun and
deprive the treaty of that mighty moral support il
would have had from the unanimous favor Of the De
mocratic Party-a moral force that the Wing party
would have shrunk from facing. Under tins attack
the treaty lell-but the cause did not perish. i he
people took II up-they forced the issue Of Texas
into the nominating convention, and carried IL
triump hantly at the Presidential election. The
camor Of the Globe was hushed before the mighty
voice OF the people. Now, however, as soon
as The question comes again into the hands of poll
ticians and within reach Of the wies Of intriguing
leaders, we hear the old homilies d,sunion The
game Of killing the through its best friends,
Is again repeated. If the xstion is defeated by
such wicked means the Globe is too we'll aware of
the storm Of indignation il will raise in the south. Is
1t then seeking by forever linking these vile charges
OF d,sunion to every attempt TO acquire Texas, to
ganize the north against the SOUTH and by uniting the
northern democracy with the whgs-to leave the
south-rather force the SOUTH To take up and settle
for herself alone the policy which her interests and
her very salvation demand-aganst the combined
hostility Of all parties in the north IL So is time
for the Globe TO talk about the Union The issues
will indeed be changed and Texas mighty as it is for
the welfare of the whole Union, will become very
subordinate question. Let these mad factonists be-
ware in time.
