Hon. A. r. OWEN, AMERICAN CoSsuL TO
HAVANA. We copy this morning, IN crten-
so from the National lntelligencer, the vim
aication Of this gentleman from the whole
sale abuse which has been showered upon
him for The last six months. Ever since the
failure Of the last Cuban expedition, he has,
beyond all doubt, had more sins laid TO his
charge, and Of more heinons nature, than
any other person in the Union. We did
not at the time join in the bue and cry
gainst him, preiering 10 remain silent until
we could hear both sides of the question
His defence has al length reached us, aud
we think il need only 10 he read 10 acGnIt
Mr. Owen OF all blame ia the transaction.
He shows cencasively, by letters from the
Captain General, that although not per
mitted to interfere either personally or Off
cially, get he did all 10 his power, as man
and an American, TO avert the doom Of the
unfortunate prisoners, and when this was
refused, a, least to delay the execution OF
the dreadful sentence. In both efforts he
failed, and the stern though just sentence
was carried out. In the case Of John s.
1'brasher, he was equally impotcnt 70 act,
and his appeal was equally unheeded.
Public opinion. which was go prompt to
condemn. will, we doubt not, be us prompt
to acquit Mr.. Owen Of The charges heoped
upon him, aud the reaction should be a. Sc
we're upon ,hose who originated the SIAN
ders.-Mo. Republican.
