ChevaIier Hulseman.

Mr.. Hulseman, the Austrian Charge at Washing
ton, has become quite famous account of
his accidentally crossing the path Of Daniel Web
He has gained notorety much the same
principle that the Italian oater gained honor, when
he was kicked by prince. The prince of letter.
writer's and forensic debaters albeit friend
freedom than Hulseman, has been constrain ed
twice TO kick the Austrian, and the fracas between
so famous athlete and the Charge, has made the
latter a famous man. But Huseman was not al
together unworthy of notice previous to his being
officially kicked by Webster. His views Euro
pean and American politics, published thirty years
ago, and his position as the declared enemy Of re-
pubcansm, at the seat of our national govern
ment, render him worthy of some notice.
Nearly thirty years ago, Huseman wrote book
entitled the 'History Of Democracy in the United
States of Moth america which book was reviewed
by Edward Everett, in the ''Nathern American Re
,aev," with a heartness ofcondemnation, and keen
ness of castigation, which are afraid that dis
tinguished conservative would scarcely now recog-
nize his
Hulseman, or as MIR. Everett rendered the name
from the original German, "Husk man. in this
work, which internally bole the stamp of official au
thority and responsibility, declared the most positive
and inveterate hostility to this country, aud its in
stitutions, as the following extract will show:
clint authors judgment, it is duty to declare
ones self expressly against thar which regards
az emil; and liberation in such case, far from
being duty, is at best weakness. From Euro
iUsJne, upon principles d.
rec opposed to the entire basis of our civilization.
The prevailing tendency in North America is in d.
rect warfare with our religion, and with our monar.
chco-aristocratc interests and sentmenIs and for
this reason, the author regard only pernicous
whatever rests on a transatlantic basis.''
The writer of those sentences is now the official
representative in America Of the most despotc mon.
archy in Europe; and his actions at Washington
have demonstrated that he came to this country not
only TO represent his government all proper oc-
casons, but to maintain active hostility to de-
mocracy, which he has done with zeal, which we
wish our consular representatives in Europe would
initiate in favor of republicanism.
In Hulseman's book already referred to, he de-
pores the ascendency of democracy in this country,
in the following terms.
'tBut this ascendancy is especially disastrousI for
Europe, from the firm support thereby offered TO the
cause of revolution. For this very reason it is high
ly desirable for us that, at least other portions of
the NeD World institutions should be preserved
tablisied more nearly in accord aCh oeoa,
as co mterpolse TO the prevalent policy of North
America This is the point of view, from which
we ought to contemplate, what is commonly called
the struggle between Europe and America. The
liberals in France and the radicals in England are
to be consdered,'n different degrees, the advanced
guard of the transatlantic army, and we may regard
II as good omen of victory, that able to
force back the wan of the enemy and carry the
war into his own territory
In the above extract il will be seen that HuIseman
insists upon the policy of intervening in the affairs
of this continent, in order TO counterfeit the nfu-
of our institutions, and prevent the extension
of the power of our republic. He proposes active
measures for the exclusion of American ideas from
Europe; and he urges the necessity ofpushing Aus
trian ideas and institutions into America. In other
words, he would prevent from gaining any Unfit
in Europe, and he would secure as much actual
and relative influence as possible for his own govern
ment Of brutality, here. He would prevent Ameri-
intervention in the affairs of the great family Of
nations; but he would intervene in strictly national
affairs if he saw fit, Such is the man who officially
insults this republic.
Mr.. Everett showed in his review, that Hulse-
mans ideas were not shadows They were
words of authority, which would have been followed
by deeds, involving the two hemispheres in war,
really intended to crush the United States and all
republics But Great Britain would not Join in the
despotc alliance for this purpose. In conjunction
with the Uni ted States, she protested in 1923,
against any Spano Austrian attempts against the re-
publics, which had been formed from the Spanish
colonies, and by this means checked the designs Of
the monarchists. THIS Hulseman is certainly the
last man who should complain of republican minis
tiers expressing sympathy disqualification. He, Of
all men appears TO be the last man who should depe-
crate American Intervention in European affairs
Subservent, crafty, ocious, and audacious he full
fills his mission Of despotsm by his mpudent zeal
and shameless arrogance. Such a man is not wor-
thy Of any other attention in this country beyond the
coolest courtesy.
PUNCH SAYS that the friends of Louis Napoleon
insist that he has acted with impartiality towards
the soldiers and the people, for il he gave wine to
