CONSUL OWEN REMovED.-Presdent Fillmore has re-
moved MIR Owen, the American consul at Havana whose
criminal neglect OF duty the case OF the fifty Americans
who were shot at Havana has provoked such universal
condemnation from all except the wing partisan press in
the United States.
The act OF removal does not strike us favorably If
the administration had been particeps crninis in the
matter, it would have been but simple Justice II the
sentiments Of Mr. Fillmore, issued TO the world in his
proclamation had not warranted the conduct OF his agent
then this removal would not have struck with the du
blous appearance it does But taking into conside-
ration the whole course of the administration wa
verng and reprehensble was-the present act APP
pears like of treachery 1t resembles the act of
principal, who, having involved himself in an unpopular
transaction, endeavors 10 clear himself by using his
power TO throw the odum upon his subordinate accom-
plces.
Mr.. Owen was guilty of serious misdemeanor, but
he plead in OF il the high authority of the
Presidents proclamation His fault in our eye was that
he did not disregard the plain injunction Of that proca-
nation, and act as became an american consul But
this, in the eye OF the administration, should have been
no fault He acted out the spirit OF the Presidents pub
lshed instructions II the administration repenled them,
ITSELF and not its servants should have been the victim
The honorable way would have been for Mr. Fillmore 10
resign and leave the task of removing Mr. Owen TO his
Then could have ascbed TO him sincere
regret for the he had taken But he Furnishes
his instruments, while he himself is beyond reach.

will be admitted that Mr.. Fillmore, in signing the BILL
did quite much towards making IL a law as il he had
voted for ii in of the houses Of Congress IT, then, by
voting for BILL he would have turned his back upon
all his votes on the slavery question, which way did he
turn his back when he signed ii rRspubhe of yesterday
Which way did he "turn his back when he signed it,"
Why in so far as the will that caused the signature
the Presidents, and the Attorney Generals whose
opinion asked and followed, Mr.. Fillmore turned
his back upon all his past political associations and
immense array of wing journals that had supported his
election turned their backs upon him and his admnsra
