MISS FREEhAN.-It is a remarkable popularity
of our country, that when there was little or
no encouragement Of the fine arts, we were already
producing fine painters. They could not live at
home, so they went abroad and sent home their
fame. Nowadays we manage differently. We
not only produce the artists, but we keep them
among us and cherish them. We are specially
glad that this is the with one who is now at
Washington-the daughter of our best American
miniature painter-we alude TO Miss AxxA MARY
FREEMAN, many specimens Of whose powers we
have seen and admired.
Miss FREEMAN has recently executed a beautiful
miniature of member of the Presidents family.
There is something impressivey becoming in the
attention.of the nations chosen representative to
young genius in its struggle upward; above all,
when that genius appears in female, seeking the
best of independence by honest labor in noble art

THE WAR STEAMER UNITED STATES.

We published on Tuesday morning re-
view of the Executive policy, and of the
Legislation of the United States, on the
subject of our neutral relations. We
showed that this policy was shaped by
WASHINGTON and MADISON, and that the
laws of 1894 and 1918 were passed with
the express view of carrying out this
policy. We showed that the course pur-
sued by President TAYLOR in the case of
the war steamer United States, was pre-
cisely that which his distinguished prede-
cessor adopted under similar circum-
stances. II is not our intention to resume
the discussion of that subject this morn
ing. But we will prepare the way for
what we shall soon have occasion to say
in regard to the extraordinary conduct of
the late Secretary of the Navy in this
matter, by publishing the letter of Com
modore PERRY to Mr.. MASON, communi-
eating the request Of Baron RoENNE; the
orders of Mr.. MASON to the bureaus and
the commandant of the navy yard at New
York; and the conclusive opinion of Mr..
JOHNSON, the Attorney General
The Union, we perceive, considers that
this opinion is marked by less ability than
it had right to expect. We suppose it
would have been better pleased with an OPT
MON from the late Attorney General, Mr..
CLIFFORD; but, in the absence of his views
on the subject, it favors us with the legal
suggestions of Mr.. Commodore PERRY.
Perhaps these would not carry so much
weight with the profession as the opinion
OF Mr.. JOHNSON, as it is one of their bigot-
ed notions that "every man is to be trusted
in his own art" We should ourselves pay
more respect to his views as to the guam
tity of sail he might safely carry in one of
our noble frigates in storm, than as to
the best mode Of navigating the ship of
state in calm. Mr.. PERRY avouches for
Mr.. MASON that "no breach Of law or neu-
trail obligations, as recognised by former
practices, has get occurred. This the Union
considers sufficiently important to print in
italics, Of which we give the late Admins
tration the full benefit. We hardly like
the Union's security. 1t would have been
more satisfactory if it had given us some
thing to the point from more experienced
urist than Commodore PERRY. We an
mex the documents to which we refer
above:
New YoRK, February 10, lS49.
DEAR SIR: | have this moment seen Baron
Roenne, who informs me that it is of the highest i'm
portance that the steamer United States, purchased
by him for the German navy, should be put to sea
cith the greatest possible despatch She is to be armed
and equipped here. To secure the requisite de-
spach it would be highly desirable that facii-
ties should be rendered from the navy yard. If
such can be done consistently, it would confer
great favor upon the Baron to have the gun-car-
rages made at the navy yard, and with all expedi-
ton II that arrangement would be Objectionable,
then TO allow the services Of Mr.. HART and some
few of the gun-carriage makers. The latter could
be hired, suppose, without any Infringement of
the rules of the yard.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
M. c. PERRY.

Navy DEPARTMENT, Februaru %, ls49

SiR His excelIency Baron Won Roenne, the
Minister from the German Empire, has requested
that facilities IN the preparation of the steamer
United States purchased by him for the German
navy as a war steamer, and in equipplng her, may
be afforded at the Brooklyn navy yard.
The necessary orders have been given to Capt
Mckeever to afford such facilities, consistently
with the public interests and the business of the
yard, with directions to keep accurate account
of the labor and materials, and transmit the same
to your bureau, to be furnished to Baron Roenne
for payment.
You will be pleased to give such orders in all
matters pertaining to your bureau as may be neces
sary to accomplish the object above indicated.

l am clearly of opinion tina. it is, and for these

am clearly Of opinion that it is, and for these
reasons:
First. A state of war still exists between Denmark
and the German Empire, as far as We are advised,
and did exist during the fitting out of the steamer.
Second. She is being fitted out and armed as
vessel Of the German Government, and is calculated
to cruise and commit hosttes against Denmark,
It's property, or subjects.
Third. ship 80 armed and fitted, when upon
the high seas, In state Of war; is false TO It's flag
and honor, If 1t does not commit hostities" upon
an enemy whenever or wherever itmeets one. The
intent OF her employment, as far as her enemy is
involved, cannot be peaceful. II must be warlike.
whether the meeting is accidental or designed the
connict is Intentional II is known beforehand that,
In such a contingency, hostiliues must ensue, or
surrender. As the latter is never to be imagined,
the former must be considered as intended Il was
by no means the object of the act of 1915 to dis
tinguish between proximate or immediate intent
and any other intent, in the use of the word intent
IN its third section Any intent, direct or con-
tingent to cruise and commit hostilities with the
vessel fitted out against nation with which the ma
ton fitting her out is then at war; 10 within the act
The design was to prevent the United States from
aiding either belligerent TO observe an absolute
neutrality, and to do this by prohibiting the fitting
out of vessels for the service Of either in our ports
To consrue the law Baron Roenne suggests,
would be to render It almost wholly nugatory.
This is evident from consideration Of the instance
before US. The prorimate intent it is commended, is
not to cruise or commit hostites against Denmark
But the vessel is to repair to Bremerhaven there to
await orders, and what these orders are it is impos-
sble to anticipate "They must, Of necessity de-
pend upon contingencies which shall then exist,
and which cannot now be foreseen.' The design,
therefore, to cruise, &c, is not disayowed. The
warlike purpose of the vessel is not dsclaimed
But because there is no actual present intent to
cruise, &c and because she may reach the place of
49, L.. A.. A =
peace may be restored before she receives orders to
cruise, the intent of her equipment is innocent
Such is not the intention Of the law. In this opin-
ion am perfectly clear and find myself support
ed by several opinions in analogous cases hereto
fore given by this Office, and on more than one oc-
casion sanctioned by the Supreme Court.
| have the honor to be, respectfully sir, your
obedicnt servant,

~ A New Orleans correspondent of the
Union, +" a gentleman of the highest intel
ligence and well acquainted with the poll
tics Of his State," commences letter by
saying:
stIn my last, notified you, among other
things, of the wholesale sweep which
the new collector of this port made among
the subordinates of his department. Since
that time, considerable addition has been
made to the list Of the prescribed.
This reminds us of what backwoods-
man once said, when, after praising the vii
lage in which he resided, to stranger
whom he met on steamboat, he declared
that he owned twenty thousand acres of
land, the farthest part of which was within
mile of the tavern. The stranger quietly
limited that twenty thousand acres of land
could not be got within mile of any place,
if he owned it all. Whereupon the back
woodsman, nothing daunted by the mathe-
matical impossibility of his statement, ex-
claimed in serious earnest: "Ah my dear
sir, there is more land in the neighbor-
hood of my village than any little town
you ever saw" 1t may well be said there
were more Locofocos in the New Orleans
custom-house than in any little city of its
size, if ga considerable addition to the
list of prescription was made'' after
"wholesale sweep had taken place."

THE LABoRING MEN.

And above all, do not fall into unrehecting tend
ency towards order, in excluding from the Nation
al Assembly any Of the estmable classes of citizens
Of which France is composed wish To speak Of
the workmen, Of those whom we, formerly, called
proieiares The mission Of the Republic is TO ele-
yate them, not by vain chimeras, but by substantial
institute ms, TO the dignity and the capacity Of cl-
zens. Each department should. If possible, send
one two Of these useful and aborious men TO the
national representation for, 10 be complete. the
representation should comprehend citizens Of all
classes, Of all the great professions Of the country
BE careful 70 exclude no one from the National AS
sembly. It's strength is in It's unanimity.
These proiotaires have generally less light than
the men Of liberal professions Ii is true but they
have more demands on Government II they were
too numerous IN The Government ii would perish
from ignorance Of human affairs if there none
IN u, II might forget them, and II would perish
from egotlsm. Call together certain number,
that they may form themselves by discussion and
political practice, and that they msy become the
true and reasonable Representatives Of those four
or five million men who live by their hands and
whose legitimate interests the Republic should
cherish. Only do not take them from the mob
nor from the clubs Take them from their fields
or their workshops. Choose them not for their
power OF voice, bat for their correct morals and
good sense. Leave those who rail- take those who
think. bad workman will be bad representa-
tive. He will incline his ear to every dreamer
and to every factious communist, who promises the
people bread without labor, and who declaims
against ownership instead Of making themselves
one. These workmen are only demolishers. They
are not builders Of the Republic they are builders
Of civil war
Lamartine adds, speaking Of his own unpopu-
lariiy with the workmen:
Those men are not more Just than others l.
who speak TO you, had petitioned for fifteen years
that they should be represented IN the National
Assembly; that they should have delegates like all
the other classes; II for this that voted for
this that signed the decree Of universal suffrage
that gives them at length the rights Of citizens
Well do you know whose was the only name Of
the members of the Provisional Government which
they effaced FROM their list and prescribed from the
National Assembly at the Luxembourg, the oath
Of April, the Of the first election II was mine
They would have none IN the National Assembly
but tribunes Of their clubs and proi,airc. Such Is
the justice and wisdom Of these men France pro-
scrbed from the government Of France by single
class Of citizens A government Of workshops
Let us not initiate them. Let as make room for
them. Let us forget their errors, and call them
among us as the weakest and most interesting
children Of the French family. This is the ven
geanoe Of the Republic Of brave men.

Trouble not yourselves about the real reaction.
Il will come Of itself from the centre Of gravity OF
the true Republic Do not be scandalized at the
great anti-reyouuonist names that may, perhaps,
come out Of the urn. DO not say, Mr.. such-a-one
is chosen Mr. such-a-one is minister the Repub-
lic islost' The legislative assembly might be COM
posed entirely OF l-revoutionisis and the Repub
lac not be lost They would enter 70 destroy il;
they would be obliged to support and strengthen
IT, France Is on the watch; universal Suffrage ex-
lists; the public safety and their own will drive them

IL they were not so yesterday from opinion You
remember those prophets who opened th' mouths
10 curse and God turned their curses to blessings
Such will be the history of the ancient conservative
enemies Of the Republic. They did not love It when
il was in our hands, they will love !, when it is IN
their own.
Thus. from the 25th Of February, | have con-
stsnty looked forward TO the time when we should
rive the Republic to the country, by the sovereignty
Of universal suffrage Far from wishing that the
Republic should remain exclusively IN the hands Of
republicans who received it in its cradle, have al
