THE GREAT GIoBEn cAIuNNy

meree" OF the 2lst inst, is the following:
"HoUsE OF LoRps, Jan. 29.-Lord Brougham
rose TO put question TO the noble secretary Of state
for foreign affairs, but from the low and indistnct
tone In which the noble and learned lord spoke the
terms Of the question were very imperfeetly he ard
In the gallery. The noble and learned lord waa I'M
derslood to say that globe-mSker in this country
whose name he would communicate to the noble
lord, had constructed globe, on which the Oregon
territory was divided according 10 the American
claims and that that globe, before 10 sisAsd s,,d
before The boundary ioaj marked out Was purchased
by the american minister in this country. He did
not blame his excellent friend (Mr. Eyerett) as be-
ing party TO this proceeding Il was a mark of
hatterng kindness the part Of the tradesman to-

aware OF this Transaction
"The Earl Of Aberdeen was Understood to reply
in the negative.
Lord Brougham said, the globe maker himself
communicated tho circumstance TO a friend Of his
Lord Brougham's) who was hia informant"
The globe here referred TO will at once be under
stood to be the one mentioned by Mr.. Buchanan in
his closing reply to Mr.. Psksnhsm Of the 3Oth OF
August, 46I5, where it is thus spoken Of
Even British geographers have not doubted
our title to the territory in dispute. There i. a
large and splendid globe now in tho Department Of
State, recently received from London, and published
by Malby & Co, manufacturers and publishers to
the Society for the Diffusion OF Useful Knowledge ,
which assigns this territory TO the United States"
But this globe, according 10 the statement here
made by peer Of England, Is YoReERr. From
any hand in this proceeding" as he terms il, he
kindly exonerates "his excellent friend Mr.. Ever

thing. Who then was the contriyerl BY whom

called over the water, Of which "his excellent
friend" was minister but too pure and lofy man
to lie the tool Of its baseness.
And yet, this excellent friend" was it so hap

ment before US, the globe Twas purchased" and
purchased "betOrs u pa, finished and before the
boundary ras marked out" For this fact, that it
was so purchased, the world has the assurance be
longing to, inseparabe from, averment coming
from Lord Broughsm. Why was it so purchased !
How came it to be so purchased This could
scarcely have happened, unless Mr.. Everett had
ceived instructions to that effect
We have applied at the Department Of State for
information and have obtained the following papers
numbered /, to S, inclusive. They contain all that
has passed upon the subject-every word, every
syllable; and they speak for themselves. Could
there be a more conclusive reply to the caumny
against oar government which Lord Brougham has
had the temerity to utter'
To forge globe, in the name of the British
"Socety for the Diffusion of Useful knowledge ;" in
order to use it an argument against British rights!

of its stu pidity-would in another less pardonable
particular have actually been worse, and this is
saying not little, than that famous supprsssio peri,
which was hablushngly avowed in the same House
Of Lords after the object to be effected by it had been
accomplished in the Ashburton treaty. The sup
preston, we mean, Of that map Of America which
had belonged to King George the Third; and upon
which, with his royal hand, had been traced the
boundary line, according to the treaty which he had
just then signed, or about to sign, between his
territories and the United States-a boundary line
according in all respects with that which we claimed
to be the Just and true one, and which the British
government kne,o to be the just and true one, at the
very time that they were solemnly protesting be-
fore God and man contrary belief
But, to the documents. They contain, we repeat,
every syllable that has ever passed on the subject
of this globe. With such proof as this before him.
and in the absence Of the least title Of evidence go
ing to show that any direction ever was given to
purchase the globe "before it was finished, and be-
fore the boundary was SO marked OUT" We defy
any man of common sense-let his want Of COM
mon honesty be what it may-to believe that it ever
was so purchased; or to entertain shadow of doubt
that speak the truth, and the whole truth, when
we assert, that no direction or inmation ever was
given to leave the boundaries underlined, or bear
ng in any way upon the boundaries which it was
to represent; and that the globe it stands in
the State Department, with this boundary marked
upon it, is, in all respects, exactly what it was when
received from London at the Department Of State,
in Washington. Nor is there possibility Of mis-
take in regard to the boundaries, laid down upon
it. The finish is beautiful, and the coloring per-
fecty distinct and there it is, representing the hole
Of Oregon, up to the line of $40 40, as part and
parcel of the United States: just as distinctly and
az strongly separated from the neighboring Russian
and British territories as, eastward of the Rocky
mountains New York is separated from Canada.
