e. Mr.. Poussin's Washington organ, the
Union, continues to maintain his cause as against
the Administration. II throws all the blame up
on Mr.. CLAYTON. The severest thing it says of
Mr.. Poussin is to attribute to him susceptibility"
which is, in other words, merely to assert that he
is a Frenchman. The ridiculous story of there
being social difficulties at the bottom ofthe affair,
growing out of the refusal to invite Madam Pous-
sin to the diplomatic dinners at the Presidents
House, having been exploded, the organ of the
ex-minis,er, determined not 10 see any insult to
our Government in his language, has hit upon an
other solution of the conduct of Mr.. Clayton

that they are nonarchisis, for that would defeat

eminent To a monarchy, and perhaps II might endan-
ger their own personal safety. They therefore pass
under The name of Conservatives or Uhigs. The Cab
net now in power represent that recreant class Of Ameri
can ctizens."
II we believe the Union sincere in this most
extraordinary and absurd opinion, what shall
we think of the capacity and judgment of its
conductors-if not sincere, what of their truth
and honesty : For our own part, we do not hes
tate to say that the fault is in the heart, and not
the head and that the writer knew, when penning
it, the charge was not true. We should consid-
crit derogatory to a respectable press, to enter Sc
riously into refutation, or even denial, of such a
monstrons libel upon the American people. 1t
may comport we'll enough with the present views
of the Union, and be in keeping with its charac-
ter OF organ OF the representative of that model
Republican, Louis Napoleon to SANDER the Amer

Tlmes-the organ, not OF despotism, but of con
stitutlonal monarchy-may make the paragraph
text for a heightened dissertation. Blackwood
we are confident, will seize upon il as a fttin.
theme for a diatribe against the schemes of tn,
R%cformers. 1t will argue that, whilst Radical
are striving TO assimilate the English Government
to a Republican model, the majority of the Ameri
, can people are striving secretly to supersede thei
/, Republican institutions by a monarchy. NOTHING
p will deter them from thus using the false and ca
. luminous charge of the Union, but the conscious
ness that the English people know too well tn,
little reliance to be placed in the statements o
reckless and unprincipled opposition journals.
: but we have been led away from our point
The Union, having announced that the Admins
. tration is monarcbical, it is quite natural, there
fore, that Mr.. Clayton should dislike a 'Red Re
publican, like Mr.. P~oussin, and endeavor to picl
a quarrel with him.
