scws Words ON Late Rejection By the United
States senate.
A portion VI the Democratic press seems DIS
posed TO nd fault with the Senate for its rejection
Of G. J. Ingersol as Minister 70 France, and the
Government organ Is over bold enoosh to vsticinate
bis greater political elevation IN consequence.
The nomination Of such man for such position
to the Senate Of the nted States the greatest
insult that could have been offered 70 that honorable
body.
A eonVtct, by the judgment Of public opinion, OF
one Of the meanest and basest Of vices-wilful,
malicious, deliberate falsehood-a falsehood that
knew 10 ground for its fabrication and admitted of
no paIliation 10 it's character-cause sufficient might
BE- found in that alone would think, not only 70
justify, out 70 imperiously demand, his rejection
Bot, when supersdded to the fact Of this
crime ia considered its motive and direction, its
svowed and cherished purpose, it is only 20 be
marveIed that be was not cast out with oathing
from the presence the very mention Of his name
contaminated
He who Of old set Ere to the Temple Of Delphos,
gained the perpetual nfsrny he sought His crime
immortalized bis name. Bot that wretchs unsd-
vised deed was Of unequal conception 10 this mans
he but destroyed the fabrication Of the human ar
list this sought 10 mutilate Gods own creation -
The Grecian perpetrated an ordinary villaDy but
this pun contemplated sncrilsge!
A conspiracy to take away mans good name
is an indictable offence. He who plans it is vii

the Penitentiary; it has been LEFT to the highest
fanctionary known under our Constitution to give
the criminal different direction, and send him to
the Senate of the United States Is not such act,
we then ask, an insult an strocious insult to that
elevated body7
IL was against the Senate Of the United States
itself that the villsny intended FIRST to operate
Il was against the entirety Of its integrity, the
completeness Of its character that it was to have
its fret fatal consequence. How could the Senate
have escaped reprosch, stain, an indelible taint,
had its most distinguished member been struck
down BY this greatest Of infamous conspirscies
He. whose name has filed an upiverse-he, 50
Justly to be called the glory Of one hemisphere and
the admiration OF the other--he, in intellect the
greatest epanstion Of the Almighty now embodied
public opinion, could have stood1
We ever wish TO speak respectfully of the Presi'
dent Of the United States his Office should COM
usDd respect, for it is the highest elective office
known to the world. We shall therefore, indulge
in no vitupsrstve condemnation Of bis action in
the premises We will only say that, il, after the
preparation Of such an outrage upon honest opin-
ION as the submission Of this persons name to the
Senate Of the United States for its recognition OF
his claim to honorable consideration, he entertain
no feeling Of remorse, his moral perceptions must
have been naturally most obtuse, or have become
thoroughly deadened by ths political training he
has received.
And though we are willing to acquit the Pres-
dent Of any participation in the conspiracy which
this man originated for the viest of human pur-
poses, other than that inasmuch as he rewards the
deed be makes himself an accessory after the fact
we shall not be 30 charitable to others. And We
think we discover concatenation between the
conspiracy and this its present consequence, not
improper to be advsrted to.
1t will be recolected that at the time this man
was seeking in every direction german matter fo'
the formation Of his conspiracy, it animated &c
him from IN official source that among the archives
Of the State Department something might be found
Of proper character for the purpose IL will also bt
recolectsd that on mis- application these archives
previously guarded with scrupulous care from any
but official eyes were zeslousy laid open to his in
spection and that. by the grossest perversions thu
minds most ingenious in fraud could have accom-
phshed, facts most honest in themselves. and mos
