Buenos Ayres.

Rosas the dictator of Buenos Ayres, (the New
York "Sun " says,) is, if the accounts which
reach us from Montevideo be true, likely soon to
be forced to struggle hard to retain his power
Urquiza, his rival is represented ut latest dates
as at the head of powerful force, and as having
embarked to liberate--as he proclaims-the Bue-
nos Ayreans. That Rosas is man of despotic
disposition there is no doubt; but whether Ur-
quiza is or not much Of consistent patriot is in
volved in not little obscurity. Some speak well
of him, and others ill but some Of his past his
tory naturally excites suspicion. Nor is his con-
nexion with the empire of Brazil calculated to
inspire confidence. He has acted with conside-
rable skill and moderation towards the Monte
videans and if he should continue to observe
moderate and humane policy, his success over
Rosas would be gratifying result But it is al
most impossible to form any fixed opinion on the
merits Of the rival parties and leaders in the ma
jority of the so-called republics which have
sprung out of the former Spanish South Ameri-
can colonies.

We confess our great surprise at the demon
STATIONS in favor of an alliance with England
made by the Hon. r. j. Walker on several occa-
sions in England There has been no period in
the history of the United States which required
more frmness moderation, and self-denial than
the present. If it be true that Europe is on the
eve of further revolutionary conflicts, we should
be well advised before we so far abandon what
has heretofore been fundamental principle of
our foreign policy as to embroil ourselves in any
manner in these conflicts What do we know of
the results to follow in their train? How do we
know who are to lead and the end at which they
aim :
1t may be that the despots of Europe may
combine to perpetuate monarchy but it does not
follow that they will assail us or our interests
If, however, we become party to and aid those
who are attempting to revolutionize those gov
ernments, we will compel them to combine against
us. Are we prepared to fight all the world?
The late news from England, and especially the
resignation of Lord Palmerston, should admonish

Why did Lord Palmerston resign? 1t is said,
upon authority of some of the London papers,
that it was because he approved of Louis Napo-
Icons coup d'etat This may be SO, or it may
not be. We should know what England has done
or will do before we commit ourselves or the

American Citizens Residing Abroad.
The New Orleans % Crescent saws;

Iu6 INcW ITt5Ctub says.
eve sincerely hope the administration will
take decided stand upon this matter-will as
certain distinctly if Mr.. Thrasher was or was not
fairly tried, and, if he was not, insist upon his
restoration to liberty, in the most pcremptory
tone. We are free to say that his failure to adj
dress his own government for protection, directly,
was extraordinary disrespectful, and censurable
in every way. 1t was bad policy and bad man
ners to appeal to the public, and half contemptu-
ousy to pass by the public authorities. 1t implied
a want of confidence which is not warranted by
the disposition and conduct of the administration
Ii was a gross and unjustifable reflection upon
the administration. But this is substantially of
no consequence. Mr.. Thrasber is q mere cipher !;
the principle is the thing. If the immunities Of
American citizenship have been violated in the
person Of Mr.. Thrasher, or any one else, they
ought to be promptly and strongly indicated.
"Mr. Thrasher has not, we fear, acted as he
should in this natter has not had full confidence
in the win and power of his native republic. But
let us vindicate the principle, disregarding this
Mr.. Thrasher is nothing in the premises"
On this subject we agree with the " Crescent"
The principle Is The thing. We sincerely sympa-
thize with poor Thrasher, as we would do with
any and every American citizen placed in the
same circumstances, whether in Canada or in
Cuba, and without reference to his being identi-
fed with the North or the South, the East or the
West. Yet Mr.. Thrasber is but one man, and
the principle applies to thousands. Moreover
Mr. Thrasher will doubtless be released. Spain
will not dare to enforce, will the Secretary of
Statehood as he is, only where cowardice would
be q virtue-dare to permit, the execution of the
sentence. The object will be accomplished by
establishing the prccedent-by introducing into
the law Of nations the monstrous doctrine con-
tended for by the present Secretary of State,
that an American citizen, by residing abroad,
forfeits his political rights American citizen,
and becomes the subject of the country Of his
residence, where the caprice of foreign despot
may consign him to imprisonment or death, with
out trial, and in disregard of the most solemn
treaty stpulations.
The people Of the South rarely go abroad to
seek their fortunes or engage in trade. The
people Of the North do, and those whom this doc
trine would disfranchise are chiefly Northern
men. We we're born and educated at the South.
and are devotedly attached to the South. But
we are not therefore unmindful Of the rights and
interests of our felow-citizens Of the North. and
in their behalf we protest against and dcnounce
the principle asserted by tho Secretary Of State.
