The steamer 8. United States"

Our readers will recollect that not many months since
the German revolutionary gov at Frankfort with
the view of preparing for the great conflict with despo
ism which they inevitably approaching. and
has now come purchased of certain citizens OF New York
the steamer United States then employed in ocean nav
CATION To facilitate the patriotic purposes OF the Ger
man government and manifest its respect and courtesy,
The administration of Mr. Polk directed that the steamer
should be taken the United States naval dock at
Brooklyn, and fitted up steamer Tor immediate
service 1t also permitted American officers to enter tenn
porariy into the service of the German navy in or
der to organize it, and instruct its personnel in the most
modern improvements and tactics in naval warfare.
Thus did the administration of Mr.. Polk lend its
and its sympahes to the great popular movement
going on in the heart of Europe at the time care
fully keeping itself within the bounds of neutrality and
avoiding any act which would compromit this nation in
the affairs OF the conehding parties The act was in ac
codance with the character OF the first and most powell
full republic of the world and cordially responded
to by the patriotic American people.
Now, we learn that the administration Of Gen. Taylor
under the counsel and direction of Mr. Clayton, the Sec
rotary OF State and his fellow councillors has nerfeed
with this arrangement and required heavy bonds to the
effect that the steamer United States shall not be used in
ject of the purchase by the German government The
administration by this act Gf it has done SOY has placed
itself the side of the tyants and arstocrats of Eu-
rope in their struggle with the people to preserve
their privileges and lower, and to keep the latter in
state of servtude and slavery. We hope that we are
mistaken in the information which have received;
and not inclined to indulge in that strain of
mark which the requires, until we know all
the facts and what defence the administration has for
itself We therefore forbear further comment for the
present. and respectfully ask of the National ntegencer,
the organ of the eactonary party in Europe and their
sympathzers here, and of the National Whig which is,
or Processes TO be, the organ OF the administration
whether not the acts charged against the admnisra-
ton in reference 10 the United States
Let know all the facts and explanations belonging to
this matter. We will frankly say that we do not intend
that, under the preext of neutrality, the government Of
the United States-now in the hands of the federalsts,
Whose sympathies and inclinations have been
against the extension of popular liberty and in favor of
thrones and arstocraciesshall take the part of the
rans of Europe against the people in the great struggle
for liberty impending.

From the Eastern (Aie.) Argus
First and Second Washington.


The first chapter of parallels between these two IS one
oil striking contrasts -
The first Washington resigned his command at the end
of the war The sreoHd held on to the ONCE and Ills
emoluments to the last moment -
The first was statesman as well as a soldier lhe
second is soldier, but not statesman
The 6yst had clearly defined principles and avowed
them The second has none, and avows none.
The first was elected President unanimously. The
second came in by minority of the popular VOTE
The first came in no party President, and accord
ingly appointed TO his cabinet Jefferson and Hamilton,
the leaders of the two political parties. The second
elected in the same shape, but appointed an entire
wbig cabinet
The first President in fact The second is Presi-
dent in name only.
The first regarded his word as sscredly nvioabe.
The second has broken his, times hard to enumerate in
three months.
The first intellectual giant, of colossal proper
tons The seeona is an intellectual dwarf of pgmy di-
mansions.
But why undertake to run parallel! There is, in the
whole history and character Of the two men, but one
point of smilarty-fhey both fought wei.
IL was the fascinating idea that Gen. Taylor was 10 be
"second Washington that attracted TO him many
thousands of that he would otherwise have lost
The memory OF that renowned cheftan accomplished
statesman and hghminded man, fresh in the hearts
OF the people, in the infant days OF the republic
when cunnngly used, potent and almost irresistible
battle-cry.
The system of prescription adopted by General Taylor
his cabinet for himis striking example of departure
not only from the iae Of precedent established by Wash
ington, but by all the early Presidents" And when
they did have occasion to remove, it not done BY
overriding solemn pledges to the contrary

Among the recent appointments at w ashingon, we OBJ
that somebody has been appointed as surveyor of the
port OF Salem, in place OF Nathaniel Hawthorne removed
We presume that the removal of eminent and deserv.
so humble position, was on purely political grounds,
and OF course nothing be said against it but unless
every office holder who received his appointment from
principles it is to be regretted that men of unexcepion
able character, and who have in any way been public
benefactors, should be displaced from office In making
removals from office for political opinions there can be no
discrimination without manifest injustice and high and
low should be treated alike But when all are not re-
moved, heTe should be discrimination shown in favor
OF Inc upright, high minded and talented men who have
by their acts and influence done the country good
And such man is Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the
pures and most pleasing prose writers that boast OF
alter Irving His works have added 10 the literary repu
taton of the country, and we are proud to acknowledge
nm as countryman without knowing caring whether
MS political opinions agree with our own or not.

General Taylor never reads the Union.

We il stated in some of the wing papers that Gen;
Taylor never reads the Union We are surprised to learn
this We supposed he brave man, and dared face
anything even his arragnmen before the bar OF
the people for violation of every promise and profess
sion which he made TO obtain their votes. But by the
confession of his own friends, it seems, he shrinks from
the picture which daily present of his inconsistency,
of his bunders acknowledged BY himself and friends
and his admitted incapacity. We have read OF men
before who had courage enough to storm batteries and
face the lannon's mouth in open day, but who fled from
their own shadows in the darkness of night Men also

be true that he does read it, But we doubt whether
he declines reading it from his own dislike of the truth
which il tells. We have more for believing that
the Union is kept from him by the who surround
him For how could any man, with decent share of
