General Romulus M. Saunders, of North Carolina,
our late minister to Spain, arrived in this city on Satur-
day evening, in fine health and spirits He has dis
charged his duties abroad with great fidelity and ability.
He intimated. at very early day, his disposition to
resign his oce so that he returns to his country of his
own accord.
He came in the steamer Washington, along with Mr..
Rush, our late minister at Paris. Mr.. Stiles late charge
at Vienna, and Mr.. Fleniken, charge to Denmark.
No administration has ever made 90 general and in
stantaneous sweep Of its foreign functonares as the
present nopary, noproscrptive Executive We do not
believe single democratic pillar is left standing in
European missions. and scarcely one anywhere else in
any other country.

The P,,tsb.rx Coamercial Journal.

In August last, the Pittsbug Commercial Journal
came to us with long editorial. in denunciaon OF the
Union and its editors which it hung upon the following
texts
"Down with the administration per fas a~t n.fas"
AS this was forgery in every letter and word the
Union never having used any such language, we de-
nounced in strong OF repobaton as deserved
And we remarked in reference TO the article, that 1--WE
desire no better compliment than the abuse of such
fellow, (meanng the edor) and if he were Of any i'm
portance we should fear no misfortune than his
praise"
After some months, the editor, alleging his illness
reason for the long delay out and defends HIMSELF
as well as he can, from the structures which we made
upon his conduct in arbuiing to language which we
had never written He correctly that the junior
editor of the Union wrote the comment upon his forgery.
(which he now, in substance, Acknowledged but he
pleads in defence Of such conduct complimentary para
graph Of him. written previously to the forgery which we
denounced by our respected senior He says senior
wrote of one "Robeu NJ Riddle" certain paragraphs in
his praise which he the said Riddle, proceeds to copy
And those paragraphs. he seems TO think, constitute
complete defence Of his conduct in forging the sentence
which he credited to the Union plea in bara perfect
estoppel.
Well, the case Of this "Mr. Robert NJ Riddle" seems
to stand thus, In order gain the good will and conf
dence of our senior he writes certain paragraphs doing
no more than justice to the latter which acknowledged
by him in certain paragraphs breathing the same coure-
Gus and liberal spirit He had thus gained the confidence
of the Union and obtained from il courteous, but. il
turns out an erroneous endorsement of his character in
advance Having thus fortified himself against us, he
proceeds 10 msrepresen u.s. and to forge and credit Ian
guage to us which never wrote. and which be now
acknowledges never appeared in the Union.
This is Mr. Robert M Riddles case precisely; and
we leave it for himself and friends to reconcile his
duct to that principle Of fair and honorable dealing which
should chamcterize gentlemen.
But, although he admits that the language which he
credited to us never appeared in the Union he alleges
defence that il true 'paraphase" OF our language
This defence is too subtle for comprehension. We
cannot perceive how downright forgery be tortured
into aparaphraseo And we would suggest to the edi.
tor of the Pitisbug Commercial Journal that he may
expose himself to unwecome perils il he INDUCES in
any more Of such paraphases" II may be safe for him
to deal in that with editorials; but il he
should attempt to paaphase" notes of hand or other
valuable instruments, in that way, he will be fortu-
nate IL be keeps out Of the penitentiary We wish
harm to him personally; and we trust that he viii take
our advice, and govern himself accordingly as il is
given in good faith, and costs him nothing.

very desirable appointment Of postmaster OF the city

Nothing shows palmer the utter desperation OF the
whig organs than the character Of the attacks which
are made upon the Union Their ferocty shows that
we have done our duty, and that the wings are
determined to stretch every nerve to put us down.
But the nature Of their attacks also shows what
few weapons they possess and how futile are their
charges To call the Union ''tbe foreign organ"
and TO charge its editors with abandoning the rights
and honor Of their country, and with being in the slight
est connection with foreign government, is SO utterly
ridiculous that the very character OF theatack is proof
Of the weakness of their position. and Of the futy Of
their assault Men must have very little to say against
an opponent when they compelled TO resort TO such
shifts and chmes We are indebted to that able paper
