Monster Heuaeber,.


 We presume this individual scarcely ever expee- ted to attain such bOtoriety as distinguishes him since his appointment of Consul at Lyons, by Gen. Tayscs His whole history has been laid bare, atd his old eating house advertisement, reprinted to show bis genias for diplomacy. The whig papers that have bad the temerity to sustain Gen. Taylor in this appointment. are deriven to dodge the main issue. and in an effort of this kind the Richmond whig. says. ''t nay be safely affirmed thai as honest, respectable and meritoriOas people keep eating houses, as edit newspapers.s
 The New Orleans Courier, thus. ahmercifally drags uP the real issue.
 It is aot because Headebsft kept an eating hnuse. that his appointment Coasu 10 one of the largest commercial cities of France is objected by the democracy. II is because he was gambler, and inc keeper oE gambling houses. It is because he kept houses oli fane tn several places and al deE ent tunes. ls Is because he attempted gross out sage upon little girl for which h. narrowly escaped ue penalties of Lyaeh aw. h fine, it Is because he IS an infamous as well ignorant wretch, who through long serious of years. has eked out a miserable hStEg from the vilest means, with the prospect oa pententisrv constantly beiose his eyes. These are the reasoas why the democracy think the appointment of Heuseberl one not Ct to be nade,' as Webster said ot Taylor.

one way to se,,Ie the question.

The Philadelphia Ledger encyclopedias, we learn. have been received by oer government from California and New Mexico stating that both these territories will be applicants to the next Congress for adm Ission into the Union. The primary mea- sures now being taken to accomplish the object. New Mexico, with is pOPslation of 75,e00, is al ready competent to admission. and the population Of California is daily increasing. Its permanent population by the next session of Congress- viii no doubt be sufficient to demand the dosrs to be open ed sO its admission among its sister states. This will settle the question which has lately created so much dissensiou in COngreas, in a way tha, must prove satisfactory to all parties"
 For the sake of the country, and for the sake of these territories, hope they will, pos- sibIe. be admitted among ths States. Until this takes place there will Do a bone of contention be- tween the North and the South, that can oaly pro- dsce bitterness of feeling, and il is not probable ta, either the free-sol or pro-si4very party will be strong enough in the next Congress 10 carry their point
 While such state or things exist, the new set tsSs will bs obliged to shin for themselves, and do without any government but sach as they choose to erec, of their accord. Shoald these territo ries be admitted ss States, this vexea question si free -soiism will bs reduced to a mere abstraction and there will then be much less dticalty in set bls obIect about which to ceaisnd.

 The removal of democrats who have well and faithfully performed their duties and the appoint menf of whgs who have other recommendation than that they brawlsd the lUndest for "old Zack" and "Old wh,ey" have become matters of such continual occurrence thai we have not had time to notice them.

 The appointment of Old Heudebert. worthless brothel keeper, to represent the Union abroad; the appointment of refugee tories.

A Gem of ssDemocracy., ',

We copy the following paragraph from the Mem phis tTenn) Eagle It refors to one of the mem- berS of the 'sHereic Age:''
 '.The author of this despicable article must be Burke, associate editor of the Washington Union. We know of no other man in the Union who Is ca pablo of such profanity, seurrility. and abuse We notice toO that the writer of tho article speaks of Ritchie as our senisf' !"
 We assure the malicious and mendacious libeller of the Eagle, that 'bsrke, associate editor of the Washington Unon,' did not write the article alluded to, one word of it. 4 moro unseFupulous, scur- riious, and vulgar fellow cannot be feand. conaee- tad ailh the press, in the whole Union. than the editor of the Memphis Eagle"
 We find the preceding in the Union. It lis a well merited rebuke to editor who could be guilty of such palpably incorrect statemeats and unjust saults these made by the Memphis Eagle.
 There is, perhaps, no political newspaper in the Union that has beea conducted with 60 much high toned, geHtlemanly editorial as the Washington Union Certainly political writer of the present day Is far from merisag the charge of ''profani ity, scurrility and sbuse'' as Edmund Burke Thers an elegance and force in his productions that has inaddened his opponents until they can no longer tell the truth. The author of the "Hsroic Age" has been made known, but his powers of satire sre inimicable, and his pen fluent, that none dare attack him.
