his asylum in England lecturing the U. s.
Senate for rejecting Mr.. Saunders, as Consul
at London. He was petted, feted, and
patronized by the people here, until he has
lancied himself entitled to voice in our
councils, or at least a sort of public moni-
tor. He is simple enough to imagine that
he is an object of reverence and worship
to the Americans because they happened,
in their thirs, for exciting parades, to make
fuss about him, and extol his speeches as
something extraordinary a Hum
He must, in his close study of our history,
have overlooked the fact that similar DEM
| onstraions were made in favor OF a public
ddnsueSe, whose reputation was undoubted
and whose only virtue was well devel |
oped calf. He forgets that he was distin-
guished by their notice that they picked
him up as an object for the display Of their
skill in professions, banquets and speech
making an animated rattle played with
by grown up children TO be thrown aside
when the charm OF its novelty had worn
away.
In this state OF mental apotheosis, ina
gining himself the Guardian of liberty and
solidarity throughout the world, he has
cooliy pointed out to the Senate the error
of their ways and intimated re-considera-
ton Of their action as the only means of
propitating offended deity. AT the same
time he suggests TO President Pierce that
consistency requires him to re-nominate
Mr.. Saunders at once. The Germans and
the press are called upon 10 urge the same
action. He says

y 1t is apparent that his one idea has alb
e sorbed all the rest of his brilliant mind
ID The only charitable excuse we can fine
rs for him is monomanla. On that plea alone
a can he possibly be defended from th,
es charge of unsullerable impudence. "Be
