limited authority; but where they have it,
it IS clear. undoubted and conclusive that
theirs IS the Sovereign authority Ifany
tuppenny magistrate, or any unprincipled
interloper can come in, and cause to be ar
rested, the officers of the United States,
whenever they please, it is a sad state Of af-
fairs. After the man against whom the
United States warrants were issued has run
away, some fellow interyenes and runs to q
State Judge for his interference, and has the
United States officers arrested. There was
a case recently of this kind, and to that /
now allude. If habeas corpuses are to be
taken out after that manner. will have an
indictment sent to the United States Grand
Jury, against the person who applies for the
writ, or assists in getting it, the lawyer who
defends it, and the sheriff who serves the
writ, to see whether the United States Off
GERS are to be arrested and harrassed, when
ever they attempt to serve a process of the

DIPLOMATIC TA1LoRINa.- The New York
Tribune thus alludes to painful doubt
which exists touching the precise form OF
the suit in which Mr.. Soule has arrayed
himself for the Spanish Court.
Zone thing remains to be done, and we
urge it on the attention Of the Government.
The Soule coat should be brought over
here and the public excitement with regard
to it's nature be appeased. We have called
it ad-belly, but there arc some philo-
sophical souls who doubt whether that be
the precise shape This doubt should be
settled. Besides being the invention Of &
public tailor, that shape is public property.
Let the public have it, Let the Govern
ment procure and disseminate this model
coat among the democracy, taking care to
conciliate Hards and Softs, SecesSionists and
Unionists. by giving them equal chances at
the pattern. We suggest that vessel Of
war be at once sent to Europe to bring it
over, and that proper functionary be charg-
ed with the solemn duty of introducing to
the United States the immortal creation of

From the time Of Alexander Hamilton

correspondence sent out by Congressional

been Of such singular merit as to fix the at
tention of society in Europe wherever the
English language is Familiarity read The
wonder is less, to persons familiar with the
structure and workings Of the American
government, than to those who know only
The European ways. The statesmen az
Washington ire usually educated gentle
men and men q bnsn q once unallY
professional men. who yet have haa occa-
sion, in the course of their lives, TO do with
their own hands much Of the real business
of life: and there is nothing likethat sort of
experience when combined with liberal ed
ucation, for enabling men to take and ex-
press sound views Of political subjects
Webster used to say that he did his bust
ness all the better for having taken his faith

address the popular mind, and the popular
mind in America, when dispassionate. is a
mind Of high order"
