The Globe appears to tske in high
dudgeon the remarks in the British Par
lament, in which Mr.. Polk is singled out
and mentioned by name, rather than the
Government Of the United S!aes, in the
recent discussion Of the Oregon difficult
ties. Now ii strikes US that there was
great propric'v in this distinction, II de-
noted proper Discrimination between the
man and the office, or rather between the
officer and The nation. Mr.. Polk, when
he made tha! most unfortunate, undigni>
tca speech, was not even the President of
the United States. lie had not taken the
oath Of Office. lie had prepared his re-
marks, if, indeed, they could have been
regarded as prepared, with small oppor-
tnn'ies Of knowing ;he opinions of The
administration. lie was speaking as an
individual, about to have nigh Office, just
assuming lofty relations, bn, lie was only
the President elect |. was known TO tho
speakers in the British Parliament, that
the Government Of the United States had
not only not sanctioned The language OF
Mr.. Polk, but that lhe Senate had, by a
decisive vote, refused to sanction it,
Who, then, were The speakers 10 nance
No. Congress, not the Government, no!
the President. for not one of these was
responsible. Mr. Polk, on his way to
the Presidency, used the language, and
Mr.. Polk was repled to. II remains to
be seen whether Congress will now sane
ton the course Of Mr.. Polk, since he
has become Presidcnt-or VIII Congress
be kept apar. until the nation is placed in
position when war is inevitable S.
