From fh< MN YnrL Sun.

They (the neutral papers) are a sort Of que
rilla band in politics, which, however unprncIpled
they may be in their plumber Of the public,
invariably commit their depredations upon the
Democratic party, a sort OF common foe, when
ever they have an opportunity. In conclusion, we
will only add that have the most sovereign con-
tempt for the whole hypocreal tribe Of neutrals :"

The Washington Unios is peculiarly independ-
ent and courteous all at once. When did u hrst

Democratic party, when there is opportunity
If the New York Sun is included in the category
Of neutral papers--snd il evidently Is by the spirit
Of the above paragrsph--the Union once held diff
ferent opinion. When, during Mr.. Folks admin
istration, the Sun stood boldly for the honor and
rights Of the Union in regard to the war, while the
Democratic partisan press tongue-ted, then
the Washington Union could not sud nor quote
from ii too much. And 30. too, in the days Of
Texan annexation, the Union has made the air ring
| again and again with the praises Of the neutral
press. which il has styled the patriotic press the

IL was then all honest and well meant, we doub
not; but the Unions opinion Of the neutral press
now is not honest II Is the result Of chagrin tina
this neutral press canno; be controlled TO partisan
ends Because the neutral press supported Mr.
Polk through the war, it by no means followed tina

Supporting the war and supporting the election o
Lewis Cass were two very different things Tn
first we could do periodically, the second we shoul'
have done hypocriticaly.

The Abduction Case.

The report previously circulated from
Mobile, that Rey, or Garcia, had, though
invited by the American consul to return
to the United States, refused to do so, has
been confirmed by the following affidavit
of Mr.. John Williams, master of the brig
P. Soule, packet trading between New
Orleans and Havana:
estate OF LOUISIANA,
City Of Ns,0 Orleans, Municipality No. One:
81 Personally came and appeared before me, Jo-
seph A. Bonneva, alderman of the Sixth ward of
the First municipality, duly commissioned and
sworn as justice of the peace, Captain John Will
ams, of the brig P. Soue, who, being duly sworn,
deposeth and says: That he arrived from Havana
on this day, between the hours of one and two
O'Clock, p. M; that he left Hayana on the 28h of
July last; that, before his departure, he saw Gen.
Campbell, the American consul at the port Of Ha-
vana When he went to get his register, he states
that he was informed, by said General Campbell,
that he went alongside Of the brig Andrew Ring;
that he had conversation with man by the name
of Rey; that he asked him how he came there
that the said Rey told him he had arrived from
New Orleans on board of the schooner Mary Ellen,
Captain Mcconnell; that the said General Camp
bell then offered Rey to send him to any part of the
United States that he wanted that the said Rey
refused his offer and said he wanted no American
protection, and was fully satisfied to remain in his
own country, having returned there of his own
accord.

fore me.

Alderman Sixth Ward.n
This affidavit we take from the Eng
lish side of the Bee of New Orleans, and
it adds to the doubt and mystery of this
strange affair. In spite, however, of the
many conflicting circumstances and the
very contradictory evidence, the interest
in New Orleans touching this case does
not in the least decrease. The beginning
of the end, however, has already come,
as We learn by a telegraphic despatch that
the evidence for the defence has been con-
cluded, and that nothing remained but the
addresses of the counsel and the decision
of the court.

FROM the Union Of 8,x. IA.
A GEM OF .DECKNCY.v

We copy the following paragraph from the Mem
phi' 7snn.) EaGk II refers to one Of the mum.
bers Of the Heroic Age
"rhe author of this dcspicsble article must be
Burke, associate editor Of the Washington Union
We know of no other man in the Union who is ca
pabe of such profanity, scurrility, and abuse. We
notice, too that the writer Of the article speaks OF
Richie as our senior
We assure the malicious and mendacious ibeler
Of the Eagle that Burke the associate editor Of the
Washington Union" did not write the article al.
luded to, nor one word OF il A more unscrupu-
lous. scurrilous and vulgar fellow cannot be found
connected with the press in the whole Union, than
the editor Of the yweuphw Eagle.
This is what we call showing proper re-
sentiment. We do not wonder at the in
dignation displayed on the occasion, but it
is certainly very back handed compli-
ment to the writer Of the article in ques-
ton. What must we think Of journal
which publishes articles so vile in their
character, that one Of the editors repudi-
ates the charge of writing them, very
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-08-15

of the Union for months past has been shameful
example OF the prostitution of the press. Time
was when Mr.. Rtchie as one of the nobility of
Virginia, would have scorned to fill the columns of
public i ,urnaI under his control with low slang.
the "Wh D." and other extinct excrescences of the
press 7 hat it should fairly oppose the Admins
iration, with all its might is natural no one can
find faul with that; but when it descends to such
personal tiles calling the Postmaster General
"Coam er-Morbus;" his assistant, Mr.. Warren,
"Execu toner General" and Connecticut Sena-
tor it chances to dislike, the 6 den-Nutmeg
Senator,"-it shows the lack of honest weapons
and editorial decency, and readiness to adopt the
very guerillarsm il lyingly charges upon the neu-
| trail press.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-08-15

much in the same terms that he would
employ if he were accused OF picking
pocketsl
The Junior editor disclaims the article
in the Union, but he does not exonerate
the senior editor. Is it possible that the
article in question came from the pen OF
one of the elite of the distinguished Dem
ocrats of Richmond The very pointed
manner in which the ex-Commissioner OF
Patents disclaims the article on has Oion
account alone, without exculpating his
senior, indicates that he cannot exculpate
him with verify.
We believe it is pretty well settled, in
the code of ethics, that the endorser of a
falsehood is. as liable upon it as the maker.
We supposed it to be equally well settled,
that the publisher Of a scurrilous article is
as culpable--is even more culpable than
the mere writer. And yet the senior
editor of the Union cannot find words hard
enough to abuse the Eagle for charging
him with wyiting what the Union was
guilty of publishing.
Will the senior editor also exonerate
himself, or will he remain exposed to the
suspicion thrown upon him by this half
way repudiation' Can he say with truth
that he did not write the article alluded to-,
nor one word of ti
