This is the charge. Now what is the answer? The Globe says:

"It is not true, that he (the President) had any agency in procuring statements from Mr. John Rhea and Judge Overton, for the use of Mr. Crawford-it is not true that any such statements were ever communicated to Mr. Crawford, or were ever intended to be."

We are then told of "arch intriguers," and that "they fear further developements," and that "this induces the infatuated instrument of a desperate man to aim his pointed arrows at the lofty characters of Johnny Rhea and Judge Overton." We are also told that "they may a tale unfold"-therefore they must be bro't low." We are then told, "you may tremble lest they speak; but it is not for the illustrious dead-it is for the false-hearted and recreant living that ye tremble!"

Who does not see, in this flourish of trumpets, an admission of an agency in the Johnny It will be seen that neither the existence of Rhea letter?

It is not enough to deny that these statements were obtained for the use of Mr. Crawford." (No one has ever yet considered him as more than the agent of others, stimulated, it is true, by his own hatred of Mr. Calhoun-and, therefore, a willing instrument.) That is not the question. It is--were the statements of Johnny Rhea and Judge Overton obtained, and have the character and circumstances connected with Johnny Rhea's letter been misrepresented? This, so far from being denied, is, in substance, aditte d.

The Globe of the 13th, says:

"It is plain, however, that Mr. Calhoun and the Nullifyers are exerting all their powers to defeat the effort to accommodate the tariff to the interests of the south."

And quotes as proof of this declaration our remark, that,

"It is apparent that the meeting (in New York) was a failure, and the south must see clearly that all hope of concession from the manufacturers is at an end. What then remains but to stand on their reserved rights.",

The Globe proceeds then to quote as follows:
