The British minister,

Until recently, the conduct of Mr.. Bulwer,
in his diplomatic intercourse with our Secre-
tary, has been of commendable character,
and such as elected great praise both from
his own country and the United States. He
maintained dgnifed position in his anxiety
to effect treaty between Great Britain and
the United States, by which the vexed Mus
quito question might be satisfactorily settled,
and by which universal beuefit might be
conferred by the force of specific provis-
ions of the instrument of treaty. OF his
course in this relation, few if any complain.
Some have euIogzed him for his Liberal
views, and evident wish that this controversy
might De ended fully satisfactory to both coun-
tries.
But, notwithstanding he has manifested
the utmost lberality and good feeling in his
desire for the adjustment of the Mosquito
question, such developments have recently
been made as to constrain US to believe that he
is an abominable hypocrite, and that feelings
ofcontempt for our free institutions are wrang-
ling in his breast.
A letter written by Mr.. BnlweF to Mr.
Chatfeld, the British Representative in
Nicaragua, in which sentiments totally at
variance with those expressed by him in hi;
relations with our country, has been by somC
means intercepted In this letter he bitterly
denounces the administration, and declares
that no reliance whatever can be placed II
the stability Of our government. Should
this be true he should be denounced as a VIII
hypocrite by every American who places ;
proper estimate on he worth ofnational char
acter. The contempt he deserves cannot b.
too plainly manifested.
The letter above referred to, first appeared
in the New York Herald, the editar of which
paper still retains the original, to produc
in the event of the denial of its genuine
ness.

FREE PAssEs.-In reference to this subject
the American Railroad Journal makes the
following just remarks:
"With us the construction Of a railroad re-
uuires the whole strength of the country il
traverscs. The whole community must be
reused to the work"
But how shall every man be reached! BY
the press. This is the onl; medium by which
the scheme can have universal publicity; and
as the press to great extent mUulds and d.
reefs the public mind, its influence when ar
rayed in favor OF railroad project, is most
potent. The editor of an influential Journal
can often effect more for public work than
dozen leading men in Il community. lie
does this not by reason ola superiority Of tai
ent, but by virtue of his position. No indi-
vidual or company can new hope 10 succeed
IN any great enterprise, without the aid OF the
press It is the great and only agent by
which society Is strongly moved. In the case
of a railroad the publisher OF Il paper to be
sure, like all other citizens, is interested IN
the work. He Is glad TO discuss the subject
rs a popular topic in which his readers are
interested; but if we could take an exact &C
count Of the dre,t aud pecuniary advantage
which railroads have derived from the sup
port of the press with what the press have
received from free passes in return, we are
satisfied that the balance would be found TO
be largely in favor of the former. In allow
ing the press free tickets, railroads are but dis
charging an Indebtedness which is alike in
policy and equity due from them.
"Wc are aware that railroad directors are.
10 certain extent, agents-entrusted with
the interests of others, as we'll as their own.
OF course they should confne themselves to
what they have good reason to suppose would
be the action of their principals acting Tor
themselves"

THOMAS II. BENToN.-The st. Louis
Union has actually attempted to show that
Thomas H. Benton will be the next Demo
cratic nominee for the Presidency. Itwas a
desperate effort of the Union, inasmuch as it
called to its aid many ofthe rankest Abolition
papers of the day. The Kentucky Yeoman
speaks right out against the Missouri Senator:
IN the strongest terms. In speaking of his
name in connection with the Presidency ii
says :" For our part we believe he has
proven most treacherous to the South; that he
would sell the whole Union if he could there
by forward his own interest and that of hi:
son-ln-law; and that there is not 1chite mar
iuRhs State, who would not be more desiTa-
bic for President than he.

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTs.-A few days be-
fore they abdicated their post, the late editors
of the Republic gave utterance to the follow
ing eloquent and patriotic sentiments. They
ought to find response in every genuine
American breast;
'"Fcr these reasons we shall support all
the measures relating to the territory acquired
by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in one
bill-the "Omnibus" bill. as the Writings of
the day will have it. We are for tee "Omni-
bus" bill. The "Omnbus'' is the great con-
venence of the day. 1t Is the peoples con-
veyance. 1t is that which takes them home
safely and cheaply. 1t Is the chariot of the
republican, the working man, the bone and
sinew; the men whose hearts are blistered
and whose peace is sacrificed by political in-
cendiaries. We are not ashamed to take our
seat in the 'Omnibus'' with the illustrious
statesmen of the age; with patriots-peace-
makers with the men of the Union who are
for the Union, Nor shall we, as we rumble
along over rough pavements and broken cross
ways in such company, envy those outsiders
who whip their jaded steeds amain TO keep
pace with the ''ccupee," the buggy" or the
''sulky'' in which some one, "soIitary and
alone" is wheeled along the golden sands oil
California"

CHARGING FEEs.-There are few public
officers who do not manifest considerable pro-
ficiency in this department of their dsies
but we think the coroner in the city of New
York rather excels. 1t will be remembered
that there were sixty-two persons killed by
the unfortunate Hague street explosion
The coroner summoned thirty witnesses. for
each of whom he is entitled to three dollars.
But he surely had the benefit some instruc-
ton in Pixies Arithmetic in his earlier days,
for he has multiplied thirty by sixty-two, and
their product by three, and has brought out
the answer correctIy-$2, $50! And this is
what the city owes him for summonin wit
nesSes.

CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION IN CALIFoR-
HIA.-It appears from the last accounts from
California, that two persons are claiming to
exercise the duties OF Harbor Master at the
port of San Francisco. A. Mr. Hagan, who
holds his appointment under the California
State Government and a Mr.. King, exer-
csing authority by United States appoint
ment The Collector of the port and Com
modore Jones sustain the appointment of
Mr.. King, the former declaring that he will
give no clearance to a vessel that pays har-
Dor fees to Mr.. Hagan. Both officers were
boarding vessels In the harbor.

The WoRKINGMAN's PLATFoRM.-A Con-
gress. composed of representatives OF the
working classes, has been in session at Pitts
burg. and after deliberate consideration Of
many subjects touching the rights and inter
ests Of aborers, has presented the following
schedule of doctrine as the best expression OF
its principles:
First: The fact that a man is born is evl-
Ience that he has a right to life and share
of its enloyments. and any system Of society
or government which deprlves him of these is
false.
Second: All material wealth is produced
by labor-phy<ical and mental-and the Ia
borer should enjoy the full fruits of his indus
try, and any system Of society or government
which deprives him Of these is false
Third: Men who live upon the vice and ig-
norance of the people should not be denounc-
ed ; but vice and ignorance should be remov-
cd and all men turned out TO honest labor
Fourth AS the working men compose the
great mass of the population Of the country
they should control its legislation.
Fifth: Prominent among the changes
which the people should demand are the fol-
Lowing:
1st. A general Incorporation law which
will enable workIng-men to associate and be-
come their own employers.
! I'd. The homestead ofthe family should he
exempt from execution. and made mathematics
but dishonest debtors should not be permitted
to escape punishment.
| Sd. The public lands should be given. in
limited quantities, TO actual settlers, and IN
der no circumstances should they be permit
ted to go into the hands Of spectators.
4th. All officers, legislative, executive and
judicial, should be elected by the votes of the
people.

THE SOCIALIST TRIUMPHANT IN PARIS
The election of Eugene Sue by the Socialists
of Paris, as announced by the steamer Hiber-
MIA, cannot but be regarded, the Baltimore
Sun thinks, it an extraordinary triumph by
that party. 1t will lead to important results.
The whole force of the opposition, including
Louis Napoleon and the Government, rallied
for M. Leclerc, gentleman who won for
himself the cross of the Legion of Honor at
the hands of Gen. Cavaignac during the re-
cent troubles. The numerical force of So
cialism must indeed be great, to have over
come such a candidate.
A New York letter to the Philadelphia IN
quirer, says:
san intelligent Frcnchman, recently from
Paris assures me, that this little fact, the
choice Of Eugene Sue, is the best guarantee
Of the Republics stability we could have
for, said he, it is better to take man with &
little red repubiicanism, than one having nc
republicanisn at all. Napoleon's ambition
has received powerful blow"

Encouraging Movement.

The citizens of St. Louis have heen called
upon, through the press of the city, to hold
meetings, and express their opinions on the
subject of the Compromise bill. The Times,
a Democratic paper, supports the movement,
and calls upon all who desire an end TO the
present angry controversy in Congress, to be
in attendance. Meetings will doubtless be
held by men of all parties, and we feel conf
dent there will be such movements made as
i'll give the proper encouragement to those
who are battling for the Compromise of the
Committee, in Congress. We are glad to
notice this step on the part Of Missouri Al
though she is a slave State, she makes evident
her strong attachment to the Union and seems
to believe that Union with all its petty griev-
ances of which the South speaks, is infinitely
more desirable than a dissolution, to evade
those grieviences.
