Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1852-02-26

The remainder of the Long, Morgan, Kinney, and
SHlear correspondence is published in relation to
Kossuth, and if the formerpart sufficient to make
us blush for our country, as she is represented in
Europe, the latter is calculated to aggrayate rather
than mitigate this feeling Of shame.
From this correspondence, il is demonstrated that
not only the consular agent, but the commander Of
the Ame lean Squadron in the Eastern Hemisphere,
and Captain Long of The ship Mississippi, are
either destitute Of common manhood or desti-
tute of every spark Of independence and dscrimna-
ton.
NJ. Suleau, French official, signing himself
"Prsfet des BoRchss du Rtoae,'' that is Captain of
the Police Of the mouths Of the Rhone, seemingly as
ignorant Of he was indifferent to, the laws Of his
own country, takes offence becaus. gentleman, on
board of United States ship, sends letter to
republican Journal, in republican country, making
plain Of certain facts, and forthwith in.
suits the United States in the plenitude Of his Of
fetal impotence. To which insult the petty crea-
ture, Hodges, and the ignoramous, Long, submit in
fear and trembling. Tous the conduct of Sueau
appears as mperlinent as that Of Hodges was mean
and servile, and that OF Long silly and cowardIy.--
Sueau, doubt, can justify himself, and has done
to the miserable prejurer, whose tool he is, but
neither Hodges nor Long so congenialy silua-
ted They are The servants Of free people, howev-
er little they may relish that position, and however
much they may sigh for masters ike Bombeo oil Ma
piles, or The hero Of Ham, and TO that people they
are responsible, and by them they shall be held ac-
countable for their condnct en- ,ha;-
guest unworthy of republican officers, and so de-
grading to the country which they so despcaby
misrepresented. We de not Wish the representa-
lives of the United States, in Europe, to embroil
themselves in the party questions which disturb and
distract the nations, and look upon as an insult
to our cOantry when they do so in the manner Of
Long and Hodges. The liberty Of the press was
declared by the Constitution of France, and the ed
itor who printed Kossuth's letter at Marseies, had
legal rightto do so, independent Of Sueau or b.
naparte, just as we have right to print Kossuth's
letters, independent Of Willard Fillmore, or any Aus
tran in the land. 1t the duty Of Hodges there
fore, to declare that he did not know that any per.
son on board the Mississippi had been guilty of any
violation Of law, and that he did not know, as an
Americans any distinction between Bonapartist or
Rouge newspapers in France. Instead Of this, how
ever, we find him throwing the flag of the United
States at the feet of the Bonapartist faction, and
dragging an ignorant mau, in our country's uniform
into the mum with him. ea A
1t is humiliating to imagine the position of oul
country in Europe, under the representation Of such
Beings They do not represent the Republic. They
<hnk ita good thing TO get Office from, and from
which to draw salaries; but is not thing to be tue
TO, amongst traitors, liars and towards. The VIC.
aaton Of Constitutions is unpopular in the Republic
and conps des win never be possible here, sc
shatmen Hike Hedges have no encouragement to CONF
out strong FOR SO questionable a form of govern
ment They therefore only pretend to seryeit, a
qhe courts and ports Of Europe, while they really dc
not; they serve the ArnoIds, and King Georges Of
European history, and by this means sacrifice thu
moral power Of this nation to despotisn, and dis
grace il in the eyes Of civilization and liberty.
