eerng cry
We are surprised in the Courier des Eats UniS
an article respecting the imputaons of of the wing
press relation to Paroles That press processes dis
cover some evasve language in the Union, and to
in that circumstance indication of the connvance
of the government at Washington in the of the
President And even the Courier speaks of the
'demi-sence" Of the "Union."
Now, what have said to Justify the imputa-
ton' There has been no studied evasion on our
part-no silence, except in retaining to promulgate
sociaed in Paris For the best of all reasons, their
cannot be published, although they have been
communicated to officers upon the gulf. We have
stated all that we knew, and all that was proper to
be known We have stated that our representative
in Europe has kept the administration informed about Pa

The Courier DIES Etats Unis amuses us by repeating
another speculation although it to attach not the
slightest consequence to the conjecture; and that is
that some wiseacres in the Major major
William H. Polk) "confdental diplomatic agent"
Nothing can be more absurd that this superstition
The government have already a confidential agent on
the spot, and his instructions are SO precise as TO
leave even to him very little discretion in the matter

tice be done to The parties concerned Why invent
common hypothesis for the solution of the simplest fact
Or, is it unusual that young American, who has
been in commission in Tennessee, and who desires to
gather laures in the service of his country, should
resign honorable and agreeable diplomatic mission,
and expose himself to the dangers of campaign in
Mexico' We did not suppose that the blindes spirit of
faction would deny to Major Polk the credit to which he
is fairly entitled.
