THE BOSTON POST,

The following from the Richmond Daily Despatch, pays
deserved tribute to the political ability and consistency
of the Boston Post Nowhere in the republic is there
more gallant enlightened, iudicous and uniform defender
of the mmutabe principles upon which great organ-
cation reposes 1t graties to such bright lamp
burning in Massachusetts, despite the damp and noxous
atmosphere which surrounds the pestlent and
enable heresies of such Parker, Phillips Sumner
Banks and Hudson Located in the very centre of wing
influence surrounded by wing capital and arrogance the
Post demands support and receives it. by the very bodness
and determination with which it procaims the doctrines
of the constitution as expounded by the fathers of po
litica faith We do not fail to observe the malignant
mendaciy with which it is assaed by such papers the
Boston as and the Courier 1t does escape the
mark of true men, either that the vuperation of the
hucksering editor Of the Atlas is taken up and repeated
elsewhere by such Sumner and his wing allies
and confederates But the abuse of such papers and
such desirable it is harmless Colonel Greene
had achieved enviable and enduring national reputa-
tion long before his political defamers known their
own immediate counties We endorse every word of the
following article alluded to before;
"a tribute of admiration due this noble journal
for its uniform, consistent and manly vndcation of the

FRANCE AND CUBA.

We have already referred the attitude occupied by the
English government in regard TO Cuba-eyen in the face
ofts most recent and frequent denas Few who have
amned the evidences both sides can fail to see that
Great Britain would not hesitate resort 10 extraordinary
not to extreme measures to prevent Cuba from falling
into the hands Of the American people Gradually the po
sihon Of the government of France the subject
we ought perhaps to say the Emperor of France lac is
now the government-begns TO be revealed We alluded
IN our last number to statement made by the Emperor
Louis Napoleon of the agents Of certain foreign
government while on his way to the United States and al
though that statement protest docs not seem 10 have
been generally credited yet concurrent testimony many
that the party to whom il confded is now in this city
This much is made clear by the attitude OF France il adds
proof to the insineer of the English statesmen
the subject of Cuba and shows that the same policy on
that question anmates both cabinets only that Louis Ma
poleon frankly his part of the business and the
British ministers boldly deny It'll They are united not
only in their ambitious effort to divide Turkey in the far
East but they have joined hands to retain the
continent desposm than that of the Sultan be-
it is welded by who prate of Christianity and
international law.
The French people not quite ardent in favor of the
war IN which their ruler 10 now engaged as when his inn
mortal knsman carried their eagles and made the rcolor
the emblem Of victory in foreign lands Whether it is that
they do not relish the union between England and their
government whether it is hst they do not regard the
war as contest for religious liberty, this much is
festhat they would not be disposed follow Louis Ma
poleon into another conflict distant field and against
nation the institutions of which have always been with
them objects of high and holy admiration Louis Napo-
leon is doubtless fully conv that he is firmly seated
upon the throne of France; he looks forward
his family welding its destines through all coming
time and he begins to believe like most infatuated men,
that power thus snguary obtained and despotcally adj
minstered cannot be shaken matter how far he may
stretch his ambitious schemes 1t may be that he is right
1t may be that France is ready to send her fleets
these shores reenact the drama he successfully
achieved in Rome but do not believe that the future
has any such event in store for us

ISLANDERS UPON DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTA-
TIVES

If il be true that newspaper which deals in ISLANDERS
and proanes is read by the largest number the New
York Tribune must be of great interest to the
lovers of its fostering yet prolific sehoods While reading
the polluted pages of this prostuted and ncendary
ed upon Jefferson during his memorable career of the
threats and the abrcaons hurled against Jackson and
Of that myriad of calumnies which, from the beginning,
have been showered by the paid organs of internal disa
lection upon the great and good in this country for fifty
years Every generation has had moral assassin like
Greeley or yenal bravo like Bennett Let the public
man do his duty as he may, however bravely pure
", he cannot dare not hope escape the stings of
these vipers There is not living statesman of
either party-of except the demagogucs who
howl against the Union in infde churches and female
conventonsupon whom the ISLANDERS of Greeley have not
dropped their malignant humors. He who was praised
yesterday is by this remorseess beer hunted down TO-
day Every public becomes to Greeley and Greeeys
hrclngs infamous illustrious he oends obeys
the reasonable purposes of that abandoned agator Take
his abuse Of Mr. Webster and contrast it with the praise
which preceded it. and you will find that the dishonesty
which would not allow Mr. Websters character to be i'm
pngned by doubt quite equal to the subsequent
cruelty which denied to that grea, statesman the intellect
that all men conceded to him Mr.. Clay could not please
this byena of politics, and than once was made
feel Grceey denunoiatons If Washington lived among
now, and defended the fugitiye-saye law which he
signed Greeley would deny him oil the attributes OF pa
triotsm; and the associates in Of that great
would find themselves safe from his abuse than if
they had committed robbery in the streets
Why then should not democratic representatives in Con-
ges who noby do their duty expect be abused by this
leader and apologis Of treason2 We admit that it is
spectacle well calculated TO make the hot blood mantle the
honest brow, to hear degrading epithes applied to
who have reflected honor upon their country and who in
every relation Of life admired and beloved by their
friends and esteemed and respected by their opponents
But this emotion passes away when recall the fact
that the abandoned wretch who seeks strike OF sacred
reputation long ago parted with all respect for himself
all regard for his country all obedience TO law and Is
never happy unless mniscring to the designs Of dema
gogue encouraging the dsurbers of the public order or
invoking fanaieism TO violence and to booashed Here
after the whom Greeley has traduced will show his
calumnies many proofs that had they been true
to The right they would have been assaled BY the
nnderer Of the eminent and most veneraed among
our oountrymen
