Mr. Noah will find few associates among liberal
minds in ms admiration at cur having undertaken the
defence OF Mr. King against the charges which have
been brought forward in his paper Republ;canism is
too strong in ITSELF TO need the ATTENTIONS aid of in
justice miss representations and the sacrifice of indyi
i"al reputation. 1t was from belief that this charge
was unworthy ofcredt and had been Invented 70 serve
particular end, the defeat of Mr.. Kings nomination
by tue Se2ate, that opposed TO it, cur conviction
of its being withou, foundation This conviction was
derived from ITS general increJibilitv from the good
standing OF Mr.. King a citizen, from the confidence
ofhis ON party containing many patrots) long re-
posed in him. and from the suspicious orn and time in
which il was first exhibited 1t was personal and not
political defence-or the man, not of the statesman
of individual accused of high crime and INSIDE
neanor, not of politician arragned for the crror of
speculative opinion. OF Rufus KING, as statesman
we arc little the admirers as NIy Noahand We saw
with him. if the design Of Offering the co,9n Of the L.
States TO Prince Henry of Prussia or any other man
reward in the unanimous rejection of his appointment
by the Senate of The u States, in the lash of the hi to
rian, and the contempt of his country. These consc
quences mus! follow OF course. and is because they
must of course follow, and carry IN their train annih
aiion to lis fame and happiness that we would pause
on the threshold, and await unquesonable proof
Such proof the ANONYMOUS "reminiscences of political
writer's, unsustane by documents or rs,rcs can never
be considered.
But it not to be denied that the circumstance Of
such an offer having been made TO Prince Henry of
Prussia, and that the Baron Steuben was the medium
of the communication is assuming more distinct and
probable shape. Old people with whom we have con-
versed, ramember that in the interval between the
Peace of 1888 and the adoption of the present Const
tuition in 1855 when the incciency of the articles OF
Confederation had nearly thrown the country into d
state Of anarchy various projects of change oaed in
mems minds and some persons began to look towards
Europe and Monarchy as the ONLY means Of reforming
the Government, and securing permanent order and
tranquility. But il was supposed that tEege treasona
