OF poor NJ Poussin, and that indirectly and timidy
Surely, then, the Bonapartst correspondent might
have spared himself the pains of writing about the
savageness and unlnowingness of American diplo-
macy The Nationals discomfort is attributed to the
fact that Mr.. Poussin's appointment was made
by the Provisional Government, of whose party

/" that M. Sain-Bos-le-Comte must not be con-
founded with NJ Bois-le- Comte, diplomatst under
Louis Philippe "a mistake which has generally been

nifty those characters who were active in the revolu-
lion Of February, lS48 M. Gaillardet concludes
his comments upon this matter, by hoping that M.
Sain-Boisle-C onte may be more fortunate than his
predecessor, and that the unhappy difference Of
which the latter was the OCCASION may be composed
by the spirit of Cancellation which will animate the
two governments. The recall of NJ Poussin, which
is, IN truth, all the Washington Cabinet demanded,
ought ne adds, to facilitate considerably this amicable
solution And he thinks Gen. Taylor and Mr. Clay
ton should give the best proof of proper spirit by
anticipating all explanation, and thanking the French
Government, and declaring themselves satisfied
"The Richmond district is Wing beyond all question.
and whenever the Wings put forth their whole strength
they can carry the Accomac the Caroline the Automatic
the Halifax the Charlotte, and the aKanawha Districts
When the true trial of Gen. Taylors administration shall
come on before the people in the elections for the second
Congress ohs term then the Wing party of Virginia must
prove to the world that notwithstanding the injustice per-
petrated by the Legislature of l844 they send eight
mig members to Congress from Virginia"
80 says the Richmond Times excellent and able
Wing paper In this instance, however, think the
Times egregiously wrong. The time come to the
aid OF Gen. Iayors administration is noac much more
than in 1851 By the default of Virginia Wings, the
Administration is rendered utterly poweress carry any
Wing measure through either branch of Congress II
those Wings had done what the Times says they can do
when they please or even hey had done well this year
as they did two years ago. the Administration would have
had certain and reliable majority the next House of
personalities But the Times proposes that two hence
after Gen. Taylor shall have been thwarted in every
measurewhen he will have no policy before the country
to be sustained-then Virginia will come forward to back

Connecticut, and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Mary
land and Virginia. and Tennessee and Georgia and Indi
ana have all shamefuy failed Of their duty to their Wing
Administration and their Wing friends in their elections
since Gen Taylor came into office The only States which

North Carolina, kentucky and Aabama-F Fayetteville
| (N c. Observer.
| Our North Carolina contemporary has egregious-
ly mistaken our meaning, in supposing that by say
ing what the Wings of Virginia must do in 1851,
we intended to excuse them for what they did not do
in l849. Periodical apathy is undoubtedly the great
failing OF the Wing party, and especially in Virgin
ia. We ought certainly TO have done our best in the
first Congressional election after the Presidential
contest; but, as matter of fact the Wings in this
State did not properly exert themselves last spring.
Admitting that they deserve the rebuke OF our more
seadfast Wing friends of North Carolina, we hope
the Observer will not gansay our assertion that they
can and must acquit themselves more creditabv in
