Every body is more or less iamil-
lar with the name of Mr.. Walsh, the
American Consul al Paris, who for a
number of years had been the icgu-
lar Paris correspondent Of the Ma
,ional lntelligcnccr, and more recon
fly of the \. Y Journal of Commerce
Mr.. w. has always been very con-
servative and whiggish in lis views,
until lately he has become even too
much SO for the present administra-
ton, who have actually removed
him, and appointed some less bold
spoken whig in his place. Thecause
assigned for Mr.. Walsh's removal,
is his writing a letter from Paris to
the n. Y. Journal of Commerce, in
which, among other things he says
"Therc is an affinity between the
present phasis of this Continent, and
that ofthe first year Of the old French
Revolution, which, in my view, rem
ders applicable, or qHotablc, the

epistle TO the Empress of Russia,
dated in 1891:
Madame, your glory will be
complete, ifafter having givenpeace
to Europe by your moderation, you
shall bestow stability on all its Go
yernments by your vigor and deci-
sion. The debt which your Imperial
Majesty's august predecessors have
contracted to the ancient manners Of
Europe, by means of which they
civilized vast empire, will be nobly
repaid by preserving those manners
from the hidcous change with which
they are now mcnaced. by The
Intervention Of RUSSiG, the worH
wiU be preserved from barbarism

startled, and even indignant, at this
my addition-that the repression of

from my mind, by the character, the
declarations, and the very obvious
interests Of Gar Nicholas. Re-
spec fully to utter what we believe
to be the truth, is the best homage
which can be rendered to real dignity
in the sovereign pope, or any other
sovereign, or at any bar"
Cause enough to remove him, sure
ly! An American representative in
Europe Invoking the Cossacks to
crush Ere cdom
But this does not satisfy our Con-
sular monarchist. Louis Napoleon,
girdled by his six hundred thousand
bayonets, feels unsafe while the press
is allowed some faint shadow of lib
erty, and his American convenience
calls for farther repression! Hear

Honest old BcYhS.-Thc Wigs
of Berks county Pa, at their county
meeting held at Reading, adopted
the following very sensible resolu-
ton:
"Res0ired, That a too frequent
change Of party names is not only
useless, but injurious; that the
name OF wing is dear to us, not only
on account of its Revolutionary asso-
Citations, but, because, under it,
some of the most brilliant victories
for our cause have been achieved"
How humiliating it must be to an
honest man-for we believe there
are such, though, perhaps few, in
the wing party-to reflect that his
party must stoop to an act, which IS
the common refuge of knaves and
felons, and which carries deception
in its very face, in order to gain its
objects. No wonder 'honest old
Berks" cries out against it. She is
willing that it may be done OCCASION
ally, but opposes its too frequent
occurrence.
