Consul Owen REMOVED.

President Fillmore has remored Mr.. Owen the
American Consul at Havana. whose criminal neg
lect of duty in the case of the fifty Americans
who were shot at Havana, has provoked such rnver-
sal condemnation from all except the wing partisan
press in the United States.
The act of removal does not strike us fayorably.
IF the administration had not been pdrticeps cri'nts
in the matter it would have been but simple justice
If the sentiments of MIR. 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 dubious appearance it now
does. But taking into consideration the whole
course of the administraton-timid. waverlng, and
reprehensible as it was-the present act appears
like one of treachery. 1t resembles the act of a
principal who, having involved himself in I'M
popular transaction. endeavors to clear himself by
using his power to throw the odium upon his subor
dinate accomplices.
Mr.. Owen guilty of serious misdemeanor
but he can plead in excuse of it the high authority
of the Presidents proclamation. His fault, in
eye that he did not disregard the plain inunc-
ton of that proclamation and act as became Anae
rican consul But this. in the eye of the administra
tion, should have been no fault. He acted out the
spirit of the Presidents published instructions. If
the administration repented Them itself and not its
servants should have been the victim. The honora-
and leave the task of removing Mr.. Owen to his
cessor Then could have ascrbed to him sincere
regret for the course he had taken. But now he

A National Bank.

This 'obsolete idea,; as Daniel Webster once term
ed it, is every and then brought forward to prove
that there persons in the world as obsolete as it
The last ghostly apparition of the idea is in the
columns of the Raleigh Star of the 18th inst in an
the veritable Guyascutcus is let loose,-the ancient
with the traditional appendages and adornments of
hoofs and horns tails and toggery In fact the Star
comes right out for National Bank
At times, would suppose that the wing party
had given up the bank hobby; and such, we pre-
sumo, is the belief of the rank and file of that party
in general. But no such notion has entered the
head of the old staging politicians. We have care
fully and thoughtfuly noted the signs of the times
in this respect and perfectly convinced
we are Of our own existence, that could the pre-
sent President and Cabinet obtain a Congressional
majority agreeing with them in sentiment, the next
message of the Secretary of the Treasury would
embody recommendation on this subject.
Our object is not now to discuss the merits of the
case 1t is simply to call attention to the facts in
regard toit. Whatever apparent abandonment there
may be for the purpose of effect the old Henry Clay
platform is still the Greed and Koran of the old line
especially at the North and the bulk of the party
is located there. so is the influence The leopard
has not changed his spots by any means, although
he rather keeps them out of view We have little
doubt that the article of the Star would be endorsed
by nine tenhs of the wing papers of the State
they called upon to show their hands. AS we have
already remarked object is not to say word pro
con- but to state the issue it really will be found
to exist, should ever time arrive when it can be
tested.
