government of the day had much at heart, and

which the then American government, we know
from good authority, were not only ready 10 aud,

and did designate il, uiteachdble" stands or

destructive measures. What then rashy and
ignorantly abandoned has subsequently been eager

do so with advantage. Neither the government nor

10 the United States, while unburthened with heavy
taxation, the people of those States can navigate

The Union denounces the bare mention
of Mr.. Clifford's name in connexion with
the protocol to the Mexican treaty, as part
of ''the settled system of the Cabinet to
SANDER down the character of every prom
inent Democrat" What then becomes
of the Unions panegyric upon Mr.. Cliff
ford's energy, fidelity, and ability The
protocol is the great performance. OF MIR.
Cliford's diplomatic life. No one has
sought to ROB him of any fame he has ac-
CURED by this chefd'e ere, unless the last
administration did so by keeping it hid in
the archives of the State Department.
He must be great statesman, forsooth,
whose principal work his own friends
thought would not bear inspection, and Of
whom it is SANDER to speak in connexion
with the achievement upon which his di-
plomatic fame must rest
The Union quotes remark from the
parting SALVATION of President Herrera, to
the effect that Mr.. Clifford had proved
himself ''diplomatist, philosopher, and a
lover of the peace of nations" Whilst
we give Mr.. Clifford the advantage of Pres
ident Herrera's good opinion of him, we
must deny that the Americans are estop-
ped by it in forming an opinion for them
selves. It's, however, according to the
Union, an outrage and SANDER in citi-
zen of the United States to mention Mr..
Clifford's wonderful diplomatic production
in this regard, after Mexican President
has pronounced judgment in compliment
tary ceremony of taking.
The Union informs US that Mr.. Clifford
has won the hearts of the Mexicans. Very
likely. We do not deny that it is so. Per-
haps the protocol is more pleasing to the
Mexicans than it is to the Americans. But
what right have we to look into that mat
ter, if the Mexicans are well pleased. So
a United States ambassador negotiates to
win the sympathies Of the people of the
government to which he is accredited, the
Union will have it that his own country
men must be silent and thankful. 1t would
be an easy way to make our ministers
popular abroad, if it is enough that their
diplomacy win such hearts as the Mexi-
cans have. 1t is good thing to have a
minister on friendly terms with the power
to which he is accredited, yet we doubt if
Mr.. Clifford's fame will be enhanced by
its being understood that his friends deem
it defamation and SANDER for any one
to say "protocol" when he is about.

The French Organ and Commander Car
bender.

The Opposition journals have taken side
with the French government in condemn
ing Commander CARPENDER for his con-
duct in regard to the Eugsnie. They have
insinuated that there was much reason in
the suggestion that he had sullied the dig
nifty of our naval marine, and that there
was cause for his countrymen to "regret"
his conduct. These aspersions have been
circulated through the land. Day after
day the French organ in this city has
been full Of them. For the last three or
four days, however, its lips have been
Theoretically sealed on this subject. Mr..
CLIFFORD, our late Minister to Mexico, is
now in this city. He is acquainted with
all the facts in the case of Commander
CARPENDER, and we doubt not is prepared
to say that he behaved with perfect propri-
ETY. throughout the whole affair This infor-
nation he has no doubt communicated TO
the French organ-and hence its sudden
silence. But on such subject, mere
silence will not answer. II is not enough
that the Union ceases to level its enven-
omed shafts at Commander CARPENDER,
and al the honor of our naval service. 1t
should explain, retract and apologize in the
most ample manner; and nothing short of
this will satisfy the American portion of
its readers. Its foreign friends will no
doubt be better satisfied with its silence
but however seemingly inconsistent it may
be with It's official relations to the French
legation, it has no right to withhold from
Commander CARPENDER this act of Justice.
The policy of the Union was to attack
the Administration for its conduct in this
affair, whether it was right or wrong For
this We were prepared. Pledged from the
start to oppose General TAYLOR and his
Cabinet "to the bitter end" (notwith-
standing its positive denial Of ever having
uttered such a sentiment y we could not
expect from it either fairness or veracity
IN treating Of this subject. But to assall
the Administration, il was necessary to
place Commander CARPENDER in the
wrong; and to make il appear to this
country and to Europe that he had con-
Quoted himself in manner sordid, selfish,
