We learn from the Union that the New
York Courier has ''done nothing but JUS
tice to M. PoUssIN's feelings"
We also learn from the Union that Nj.
PoUssrN is the ''only Democratic minister
from a foreign power"
1t is pleasant to think that we have a
journal at the very seat of Government
which can undertake to vouch for the feel
ings and opinions Of ministers and ex-min-
listers. There is convenience in the
arrangement. If the Union would confne
its organism to mere eulogy of the for
eign ministers, we should not, therefore,
object to it; but we protest against its ex-
ercising its vocation to the injury of our
own officers or Government. Such con-
duct is not moral treason-it is immoral
treason.

Elegant Extracts.

The Union, yesterday, in its leading ar
ticle, makes the following bold assertion !:
"Mr. Thomas Ewing, sustained by Mr.. Jacob
Collamer, the supporter and advocate of Colts res
olution controls, by the immense patronage at his
disposal, Messrs Meredith and Clayton, and il vir
tually The President Of the United States"
In the very next article, the Union leads
off with the following plump denial of its
own falsehood
ave have repeatedly asserted that General
Taylor had devolved the functions Of his high office
upon the Cabinet, and that that concave, the mem
bers of which are wholly irresponsible TO the peo-
pie, is the President"
In one leader, Mr.. Ewing is declared to
be the President in the next, the Cabi-
met is asserted to be the President. In
the first article, the Union declares what
it had "repeatedly asserted TO be fab
rication and in the second, il as perempto-
rily denounces what it said in the first as
a falsehood. Both declarations are alike
false, and each proves the other TO be a
sheer calumny. The Unions invention is
an overmatch for its memory, and il is too
much Z" hurled in composing libes to
task its recollection for any reminis
cences."
In the same paper IT denounces a tenn
perate article in the National Inteihigencv
upon the Maryland elections an "impu-
dent interference" to control the vote OF
Maryland, whilst in another column we
find this precious moroccan:
"That capital paper, The Missi'sippi0n, pub
lished the seat Of government and in whose col
umns we find the excellent productions of our
friend, J. Marshall, associated with its former able
editor, MIR. Fall, has done us the honor Of rcpub-
fishing one Of our articles the election Of Mis-.
sissippi, with the following stirring appeal:
''will the Democrats of Mississippi rouse up To
the importance of the impending vote of November
We trust that no Democrat will alter at this great
crisis. let il not be said that the next House Of
Congress was lost 10 the Democratic party by the
Indifference and apathy Of Mississippi"
It is no wonder that the Union did not
recollect that the letter which appeared in
the Richmond Wing, which it denounced
as equalled in atrocity only by the san
culinary conceptions OF the French revolu-
ton, first appeared in the Richmond En-
guirer in 1929, when we see it forgetting
in one column what il says in another
We are requested, by the Clerk Of the
House of Representatives, to state that
the workmen employed in rcfttng the
hall of the House being now engaged in
that service, the doors of that part of the
Capitol must necessarily be closed against
visiters during the continuance of the
work, and that Immediately on its compile
ton public notice will be given.

Consistency.

The French organ calls the EnteIhgencer
to account for writing an article addressed
to Maryland. This it calls interference in
elections-ay, 'impudent interference in
neighboring elections"
What makes this very funny is, that the
French organ in the very same paper con-
tains an article of nearly column ''inter-
fering" very particularly with the cleo
ton in the 18th district Of Virginia!
Worse than this, it accuses the Wings
of the "scurvy trick" of "lying quietly
by with the hope of setting our candidate
by the ears" Wicked Wings! ''They
are in fact stimulating our divisions. I"
Mischievous Wings Like the cunning
fox, they will step in and steal the spoils
away from the lion and the tiger, when
they are too much exhausted by their own
struggles to defeat the trick"
Is it possible that the Virginia Wings
are capable of such baseness3 1t is worse
than the hoax which was played upon the
senior editor by the Richmond Wing.

The Maryland general elections take
place to-day. The probability that the
political complexion Of the House OF Re-
representatives. in Congress will be decided
by the result of her congressional vote,
has impaired to the canvass an interest IN
which the whole country participates.
Our advices lead US to hope that the
Wings will not only maintain their as
tendency, but secure gain in the nation
al representation. 1t may be that local
questions of the utmost moment to the
people of the State may, as they did IN
Tennessee and certain districts in Ken
lucky, in some measure complicate issues
which should be determined upon merely
national grounds. But for this, we should
look with confidence to a result which
would fill the Wing heart of the Union
with exultation and JOY.
We shall not, at this late hour, under
take the mission of the prophet-at best a
hazardous vocation, as those who follow
it most can testify-yet, considering the
inducements which the Wings Of Mary
land have for sturdy and harmonious &C
ton, we shall not admit the possibility OF
their giving ground at time like this,
till the returns convince US that such has
been the case. 1t can hardly be that a
State which contributed nobly to the
election of General TAYLOR will defeat
the reforms contemplated by his elevation
to the Presidency, by sending members to
Congress to embarrass his Administration
and thwart his recommendations.

tie worthy of this convention il is positively dis
respectful to the House OF Bishops TO suppose that
such body of christian prelates TO be induced
what they owe to the purity of the church of God,
merely by the nsensibility this convention may
evince to the most serious moral delinquences, in
asking for the termination or modification of such
a sentence.

the christian ministry, as in view in direct con-
travention of the RIGHTs secured to US by the con-

The Union Of yesterday charges Mr..
Ewing with more 6utchery" in the re-
moval on that day Of Messrs. Vedder and
Flood, of Illinois, and Parker, of Missouri,
from clerkships in the Land Office. After
convicting the Union so frequently of un-
mitigated falsehood in its assertions and
denials, it is scarcely necessary to expose
the deception sought to be practised in the
above statement. II is not true, that the
clerks named by the Union were removed
yesterday. Their removal took place on
the first Of August last Owing to the fact
that the pestilence was prevailing at the
time at the West, where those gentlemen
resided, the commissioner consented to
give them temporary employment until
the first day Of October, at which time
their connexion with the General Land
Office was to cease, and with which ar
rangement, as we understand, they ex-
pressed themselves fully satisfied. Pre-
vious, however, TO the expiration of the
period of their temporary employment, the
Union made a violent assault upon Mr.
EWING for employing temporary clerks, in
sistlng it was a violation of law so to do.
And now that their o,Dn rule has been
adopted, and these three among others
have been dropped by the Commissioner Of
the Land Office, the Union utters the false
hood that they have been removed from
office. II they have not been continued
IN the temporary employment Of the de-
partment, they have no one to blame for
II but the elite Of the Richmond Democ
racy, who in their desperation infict more
injury upon their political friends than
their foes.

TIN. case OF Bishop O.dorssoph.

The New York Diocesan Convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal church, at its late
session, adopted resolutions calling upon
the House Of Bishops to fix time for the
termination of the indefinite suspension
inflicted by them upon Bishop ONDER-
DoNK. The minority offered the follow
ing protest against this action OF the con-
vention, which was not received
1--WE, the undersigned, members Of the conven-
ton of the Docese Of New York, under deep
sense OF our responsibility to the Great Head of the
church, 10 most solennly PROTEST against the
act Of this convention, calling upon the House Of
Bishops for "A termination Of the sentence whereby
the Right Rev. BEsJANrS II. OSDERDoNK, ID. d.,
suspended from the Office of bishop in the
church Of God.
"The convention has never ventured 10 complain
that "A Judgment pronounced by the highest judi
cisl tribunal known to the church was in any re-

innocence Of the suspended bishop, or his subse-
qient pcnitenco and reformation; and in resting
the application 10 have the judgment set aside,
only on the ground of the Inconvenience to which
il subjects the diocese the cminalty Of the bishop
under suspension is tacity admitted.
''If then the RI. Rcv. Is. r. OSpgRDoNK, ID. ID. =,
was unworthy at the time of receiving his sentence
10 exercise the office Of christian bishop, that un.
worthncas has been highly aggravated, not only
by the absence of all indications OF repentance, but
also by his denial of facts abundanty proved, and
by his accusatons against the law, The court, and
the Witnesses

conviction that no temporary inconvenience cxpe-

Our readers will doubtless remember the publi.

OF the Peace OF Nations.
The Union announces the arrival Of MIR.
Clifford, late United States Minister to
Mexico, much in the style of fulsome
culogy with which it commemorated the
martyrdom of the saints who have UNI
dergone the manipulation of Ewing the
butcher, and Fita Warren the mcat-axe.
Mr. Clifford will probably come in for any
surplus elegiac rhodomontade which the
detection of {" old Simon Drum" left upon
the hands of the sole organ" The
Union broke off its morning reveille and
evening tattoo upon cold Simon" some
what abruptly. sOld Simon" was a
" saint of sublimest sacrifice till he took
it into his head that if his "blood was the
seed of the church, he should reap some
of the fruit, if it bore any. Since then
we do not find his name upon the calen-
dar
Mr.. Clifford's great diplomatic feat in
Mexico was the preparation of the proto-
col to the Mexican treaty-a performance
which the last administration did not think
would bear exhibition to the Swans of the
United States Senate. This document
may, perhaps, be better appreciated as a
posthumous Officially speaking) work, and
we marvel that the Union did not intro
duce it into its obituary article. As an
episode in the I" life and remains" of Mr..
Clifford, late Attorney General, Commits
sioner, Minister to Mexico, ct cetera, ct
cetera, it would make chapter of itself,
and prove to the world how a minister,
whose chief work the administration which
made him thought unfit for the public eye,
may be converted, by stroke of the axe,
into " diplomatist, philosopher, and lover
of the peace of nations"
We are not prepared to admit that Mr..
Cliford's connexion with the protocol es-
tablishes the best possible title to diplo-
matte fame, though his removal may make
him sufficient residuary legatee to what
ever of lugubrious composition in the
pigeon-holes Of the Union may have es-
cheated to the general use by reason of sold
Simon Drums" recusancy.
The Union gives us to understand that
Mr. Clifford won the hearts of the Mexi-
cans, and asserts, most positively, that
"no minister has discharged his whole
duty with more energy, fidelity, and abili-
ty" We shall not dispute Mr.. Cliford's
fidelity, or gainsay his energy; nor have
we the least disposition to take from him
any fame for ability which his "protocoP'
ensures him. But able, faithful and en-
ergetic as he may be, he possessed no
higher qualifications in these respects than
the Union attributed to sold Simon Drum
in his particular sphere. The "hearts Of
the Mexicans" may bleed, too, at parting
with the author Of the protocol, for a long
time, as it is not probable the present Ad-
ministration will send Santa Anna thither
to "comfort" them. That is bad, very
bad. 1t is encouraging, however, to know
that the Union can sorrow with them in
their Affections with less divided sympa-
thy, inasmuch as ''Simon," that "good
old Drum" has been mufled.

est and Importance, and has communicated
it with official fourishes to the public. 1t
has embossed his attachment to our instr
tutions--his republicanism--his love OF
the Amencan people-his regret that he
has given any cause of offence. Not
word, however, has it vouchsafed, to
diminish the weight of censure which it
has heaped upon Commander CARPENDER.
For augtt that we have learned from the
French organ, the American officer is as
undeserving as the French minister is
meritorious. In behalf of the service, we
protest against this gross wrong. We
claim for Commander CARPENDER strict
Justice, at least, at the hands of his coun-
trymen. He ought not to be made the
victim of party hostility, or of French pre-
objections. As citizen, as man, and as
an officer, he is above reproach /; and,
however this affair may terminate, we
feel certain that the verdict of the coun-
try will be, that nothing has occurred in
the course of it to sully the American
character or the American flag.
