SHALL THE UNITED STATES PROTECT AmERr-
CANS ABROAD "A writer in the Norfolk He
raid calls to remembrance an apt historical
parallel to q recent case, in the records of Con-
gress. He says that the following declaration
was made by Congress upon the report by John
Sergeant Of Philadelphia, as chairman of the
Committee of Foreign Relations, upon the me-
mortal of Richard W. Meade, citizen of the
United States, then 1817 imprisoned by order
of the Spanish Government, in the city of Ca
dr. Mr.. Meade was in prison some time be-
fore the action Of the Government was had in
his case but upon the notice of the subjoined
declaration at Madrid, an order for his liberia
ton was Immediately given, and he was re-
stored to liberty:
s'Your committee would recommend that the
United States should adopt as fundamental
rule of its policy the principle that an Ameri-
can, to whatever region of the world his lawful
business may carry him, and who demeans
himself as becomes his character, is entitled to
the protection Of his Government; and that,
whatever intentional injury may be done him,
should be retaiated by the employment, if ne
cessary, Of the whole force of the nation"

pass this session, for fear that the next legisa-

1853, but, as the legislature is biennial, there
is talk Of electing.a successor at this session.

Conversing some years since with distin-
guished American, Lord Brougham asked him
why it was that his countrymen abroad were SO
un-American-why it was that there they alb
jured so entirely that political freedom of which
at home they were accustomed so much to boast
and why they there everywhere appeared as the
toadies of foreign men and foreign institutions,
to the dscredit of their OWN. Y Tribune.
We do not believe word of this, and for
several good and sufficient reasons In the
first place, Lord Brougham has too much good
sense and good manners to address such a
speech to an American in the second place,
any American worthy the name would have
pulled his great big Nose on the spot, either
literally verbally; and in the third place, any
American who would confess that he had lis
tened to such an accusation must be SO con-
temptible jackanape that his word could not
be taken in evidence against Lord Brougham.
1t is no doubt true that many of our coun-
trymen do play the toady abroad as effectually
as the truest specimens Of all funkeydom but
this anecdote is too improbable to serve as an
illustration of the European opinion on the sub
ject. We have a sufficient number of real cases
in point.

Daniel webster,s Popularity.

We sometimes, though rarely, fail to discern
Alright the rising clouds in the political horizon
and having overlooked entirely the facts re-
vealed in the following, from the Boston Bee, it
gives US pleasure to transfer them to our col
umns in the language of that journal itself
The news is as surprising to us as it is refresh
ing:
"Eyery day reveals the gratifying fact that
the distinguished statesman and noble patriot,
Daniel Webster, has most widespread, hearty,
deep hold upon the mass. In every direction
movements in his favor are being made, and
scarcely any other man is mentioned with any
sort Of JUNCTION for the Presidency. And this
fact is tenfold more cheering and hopeful that
this general expression does not proceed from
any one party, but is the combined sentiment
of all pdrties or in other words from the PEG
ple-the common sense, sound Judgment, and
honest and true feeling Of the mass. Such
| universally of sentiment-so glorious una.
nimity-is rare, very rare in the history Of po-
litics."

The Hon. Thomas Hart Benton.

A few days since our readers were informed
that this veteran legislator was about to leave
this city for Missouri and that it was his inten-
ton TO address the people in every county OF
that State in relation to the political topics OF
the day. We were somewhat mistaken as to
the field Of his labors for so long time. We
now learn, from a reliable source, that although
he may visit Missouri, his stay there win be
very short, as he designs setting his face
toward country not celebrated for g slips of
lampblacked paper, called bank notes, and by
some called money, but which are only evil
dences of debt" but distinguished for its pro-
fusion Of ghttering gold" THE HARD!" Col.
Fremont, the son-in-law Of sold Bullion" it is
known, claims to be the owner of immense
tracts of land in California, estimated to be
worth millions; and the latter will, at an early
day, start for that country to urge, with all his
ability, before the Board of Land Commission
ers, the validity of his son-in-law's claims.
We have often heard Colonel Benton on the
theatre Of his fame--the Senate of the United
States. His talents, learning and powers of
research are conceded by all. His speeches on
"Coarse Blankets" "Alum Salt" and Hard
Money" are to the people as familiar as house
hold words. All the energies of his wonderful
mind and daring heart win be given to the elu-
cidation of liabilities in California, and we pre-
dict that our friends in the Pacific State will,
ere long, enjoy some rich scenes in the dis
cussions before the Board of Land Commits
sioners.

The Fusion ofParties.

"Let the dead bury their dead it is poor
business to galvanize corpses."
We make this quotation from an eloquent
and patriotic editorial in the Baltimore American
Of this morning, in which the writer reviews
the political position Of Georgia. His allusion
is to the old parties-for one Of which he has
right to speak. He halls the present attitude
of Georgia with pleasure, and is hopeful Of the
organization Of Union Constitutional party.
We are with him for Liberty, the Constitution,
Union-now and foreUer, one and msepdrabLe -
but we differ from him in this, that we always
expect to see two great parties standing on that
platform. The writer well says Of Mr.. Toombs,
that " it makes no great difference whether he
is an able man or not; he is an honest man,
cor little ability can do much harm, in po-
litical way, in this country-for the Republic
: is stronger than any of her sons, and can
survive and prosper whether they behave well
or i'll"
He says that Georgia is "a State that is des-
tined to hold-f it does not hold it already-a
controlling influence over opinion and policy at
the South. She deserves to hold such infu-
ence; for she is no dealer in distractions, like
her eccentric neighbor, South Carolina, that
never knew what she would be at, but was nj.
ways for making fuss generally The public
mind Of Georgia is eminently practical. and
prefers to lay hold of realities. She has chosen
Howell Cobb, o Democrat, to be her Governor
and she sends Mr.. Toombs, Wing, to tn
Senate Of the United States. She knows he
men and cares not for political names"

precious boon, and must ever be defended by
all true republicans; yet are they not called
upon to credit the religious professions of a
band of blasphemers, robbers, murderers and
trators-and such the society of Mormons have
been throughout their entire existence.
The difficulties in the Utah Territory are
growing formidable, and the people who occa-
sion them must be subdued or dispersed. 1t is
absurd to tolerate their arrogant and presump-
tuous deeds, and the sooner they are effectually
rebuked the better. Their government at best
is despicable hierarchy, and therefore cannot
be constitutionally recognised in our Union.
We are informed by one of the judicial Off
GERS, who recently left the Great Salt Lake city,
of the occurrences that caused the government
officers to leave that country. He says the Of
fcers sent there were not only treated with cold
ness and disrespect, but that the government Of
the United States, on all occasions, festive or
religious, was denounced in the most disre-
spectful terms. A speaker, on one of these
occasions, said: Zachary Taylor is dead and
gone to hell, and am glad of IL" and his SEN
timents where echoed by loud amen from all
parts of the assembly. Then, rising, in the
excess of his passion, to his tp-toes, he vocife-
rated, 81 prophesy, in the name Of Jesus Christ
by the power Of the priesthood that is upon me,
that any other President Of the United States,
who shall lift his finger against this people,
will die an pntimely death and 90 to hell %
This kind OF feeling he found pervading the
whole community-in some individuals more
marked than in others
The writer adds, that, being deputed to get a
block Of marble from the people of Utah for
the Washington Monument, he addressed q
meeting; and that at the close Of his speech
the governor arose, and denounced him and the
government in the most brutal and unmeasured
terms He says
"The ferment created by his remarks was tru-
