Nh. NALfH, AMERICAN IfNSiiL AT iARfs
A great noise has been made by the newspapers,
about the correspondence which Mr. Walsh, the
American Consul at Paris, has written 10 New
York Journal, IN which that gentleman evinces
sympathy for the despoiisms of Europe. This
NOISE has been increased by the newspaper organ
Of the cabinet at Washington, which now joins IN
abe chorus, denounces Mr.. Walsh in the severest
manner for his offences against liberal principles,
and for his violation of good and pgopriety 10
altering such sentiments he is known to hive
written and sent to this country for publication. II
slso calls for his removal from the Office of Amer-
can Consul in Paris, or account Of indtIag such
sentiments. Amen!
Yet, before Mr.. Walsh is removed, or his hcad
cut tf, Of pure charity, the same that is incu-
Gated by the gospel. but not often practised, we
wish 10 say a few words about Mr.. Walsh, and his
continuance in office, long. at least, the pre-
sent cabinet nj Washington remain IN their places.
What is Mr.. Wash's ofrnce' synpaihiziag,
in the only possible way 10 which be could sympl-
thize, with the tcspotisms OF Europe, and showing
bu.r hostility towards sll liberal movements on
shui continent This Is his whole o''~Sce, and no
soTe. Wen, # The be an offence in the Consul ~
Pans, Low should the cabinet at Washington be

EN-. IN a ni.re iorcible and objectionable way,

which carried General Taylor into poseri Juft

10 iis policy on this very point Of sympaihizng with
liberal movements. LOOK at It's conduc, IN relation
W the difficulty ia Germany, and the liberal move

k.,iaird and hung beck, and in all their policy
favored the cane or despotism there. Again,

rscnu,r; but above al, they exhibited more skill,
ord more tact, and more energy, In aiding and
s,.niitr tie continuance Of Spanish dcspotism
an this continent, ihsn any other despouc power

Cuba from declaring their independence, under

We tllpk Mr. Walsh, the American CSasGl AZ
psris, can offend his p.scel syrnpa,hies, by re-
Sung 10 she cabinet at Washington, and to the
po'p,y which they have pursued during the few
n.u,tt that theJ hare becn in Office since the &C.
v.sti'n 81 Gen. Toy Tor 10 the pretidency. II, in
tce,itahce with thc liberal principles and scn.i-
vents ~hich carried General Taylor into the
White House, and which we still believe exiet in
his VAIN botom, be should remove Mr.. Walsh
honi the oiiice Of American Censol ~ Pans, for
sJmpsibi1ing with iAe despotisms in Europe, in
his correspondence published in this city we think
he is bound, by the sarne principles Of equal and
exact justice, TO remove his pFesen, cabinet, for
ynraihizing, ss lar as in their 20 wer, with les
pessm On the new ss well ss the old continent
en- both sides Of the Atlantic-in Germany, Hun
gary. Italy, Spain and Cuba IL the cue is an act
sfjuiice, the other would be no ess go. SO Ear Us
our poor opinion Is worth any thing, we are free to
declare, that we despise both consul and cabinet
with equal intensiiy-snd for the lke reason.
