the country, In order to injure the buSine engage
ments and the reputation Of political enemy
abroad.
The elder Of the two metropolitan organs Of
Seward-the chief Of all the onstrosities and abo-
limitations Of the day-next takes hold. Under
the caption Of "The MseSycophaat Family in
Europe" after dwelling TO some extent upon
the toadyism of Americans in general to European
officials and aristocrats, our philosopher devotes
two mortal columns to the benefit Of Mr.. Walker.
Neither Seward nor his organs can ever forgive
him for his agency in the xatisn of Texas and
the repeal Of the tariff Of 1872. Ana here, again,
the degraded, prestrated, ruined, and shameful
condition of Ireland, under British mism age ment
is thrust under the nose Of the as If it
were surprising and shameful that he had forgotten
it. No such thing. He went to England to borrow
money, not to deliver lectures on the condition of
Ireland, or Of the manufacturing districts Of Eng
land and Scotland. The chief priest of Sewsrdism,
however, holds him to fearful responsibility and
from his grand conceptions of free trade and Russian
non-interventiop flies of at tangent. Mr.. Walker,
as Sir Pertinax Macsycophant, truly cuts . sorry
figure Not even old white coat tapping about
in the wind, could be made to appear more
ridiculous But many a white coated philosopher,
after having, at home, abured even the aristecrstc
articles of soap and water, has, upon going abroad,
shufled off his peculiar netons of philanthropy and
played the toady with the best Of the Macsy-
cophants.
But it appears that Mr.. Walker 8. had an axe to
grind" and, therefore, avoided urging, at South
ampton the necessity of revolution in the British
islands, the proper starting point for the libertion
of Europe. Our socialist newspapers are aston.
ished that, like DOgberry, he did not ask them to
write him down an ass" The misfortune is, tha.
he was not upon their business but his own.
These savage attacks upon Mr.. Walker were to
be expected from the organs of Seward and his
party of abolitonists and mock phianthropists.
They have unsettled account against him, and
they will assail him at every opportunity. He has
defeated their schemes heretofore, and they will
watch him hereafter. We are surprised, however,
that the special democratic organ of this city should
oppose the presidential nomination by Kossu.h, and
the broad and highly attractive platform upon
which he put forward Mr.. Walker as his champion
for 1852. The Democrat supposes that England
and the United States can never combine in a cru
sade for the propagation of the republican faith
on the continen. of Europe that England must first
have republic. This is clincher. But let US
wait the arrival Of Kossuth He may, perhaps, be
able to make the election of Mr.. Walker on the
platform Of Russian non intervention perfectly con-
elusive. There mus. be some thing coed in this
movement, when it is SO bitterly assailed by the
special organs of Seward and the seditious dema-
gogues that follow in his wake. Who comes nextl
Mr. WEBSTER AND THE SPANISH DIFFICULTIES
According to the private advices of the North
Ann nican-prooably from the correspondent Of
Mr.. Clayton in his day-we may expect peace. Mr..
Webster has written long and satisfactory letter
to Mr.. Calderon, which will, doubtless, settle the
hash Some concessions are evidently made, not
at first intended BY premier 1t appears, also,
that Prussia had a finger in the pie, with Great
Britain and France, in certain representations Of
what they intended to do for the future protection
Of Cuba. 1t is great pity that Russia and Austria
were not also nclu led in this league of enforcing
upon the United States the doctrine of non-in.er-
vention IN the affairs Of Cuba. And we are sorry
the Pope was overlooked. He nigh: have had some
influence with Mr. Webster. But let Va, like homes.
Sancho, be thankful. Mr. Webster will settle the
businets ameably, without the intervention of the
allied powers. He has every thing cut and dried
for it. All the correspondence will be laid before
Congress, including the long letter to Mr.. Calde-
ron, which it is expected will be smashsr for the
Presidency. And then it is understood that Mr.
Webster will resign, and take pilgrimage, by the
inland route, to New Orleans, to see how the land
Lies with the Union party down in tha. direction,
and likely to investigate the Florida claims. HG
viii most likely return by way of the Missis-
sippi to 81. Louis, and thence by the most popu-
lous route TO New York. At the conclusion Of this
patriotic excursion, the whigs will probably meet
in convention and nominate General Scott.
