THE BRITISH ORGAN In NEW YORK GROWING.
The British organ of the allies published in New York,
the Albion devotes of its broad columns to the late
trials of several individuals for alleged violations of
neutrality laws in procuring recruits for the British
vice In many respects the article little else than
print of the late attacks made by the French organ in
New York upon the government although it is forth
through the Albion original. Perhaps should not
wonder this since has been proclaimed both by the
French Emperor and Lord Clarendon the alliance be-
their two extends to the Western
well the Eastern Hemisphere This being go their
gans in New York ought to give practical illustration of
the entente cordiae by making of their
spective productions for the attainment of common

twill be recoected that dealt somewhat roughly with
the French organ days SINCE for nsnuang that the
Russian minister had influenced the policy of govern
by the of gold. That journal made awkward
attempt explain away the offensive caumny. OF this
explanation the British organ avails itself when it

avoid will be observed that whilst this quotation
is replete with calumny upon American officials, inn
plies high eulogy according to tho British mode of

the Russian minister We suspect however, that that gen.

probation of the obligations attaching to his elevated posi-
ton, to be willing to see his reputation diploma

If the British organ had desired to pay Mr. Stocked
honest compliment might well have eulogzed his high

diplomacy the need of praise awarded to the diplomat
who succeeds in eecting his purposes matter if by

after seeing these dsrcpuabe appliances attributed TO the
Russian minister by the British organ to know that that
journal regards them evidences of the high merits Of
that gentleman diplomat The code of American dip
lomatc morality, however rejects and repudates any
means of that inconsistent with candor and
truth and therefore, repes the allegations of the Albion
alike unjust and sianderous our government and the
Russian minister.
But neither government the Russian minister
stands in any need Of vndcaon against the second hand
calumnies of the British organ If the same imputations
when made by the French organ have proved mpotent
andharmess how utterly ridiculous and contemplate they
appear when repeated by the British organ Surely the
editor of the Albion is ignorant of the rcule which he
exces by his abec servilty in copying the ISLANDERS Of
his French ally. The humiliation to which his govern
has been subjected first in entering into alliance
with Louis Napoleon and, next, in being literally dis
graced by superior glory by the French army in
the Eastern war; ought haye suggested to the British
organ here the proprey of attempting to maintain the APP
pearance of equality with the French organ But 1t
that British pride cfectuay BUNDLED, that France
has but lead and England is ready to follow What
singular infatuaon must have taken possession of jour
na thus degraded suppose that he could rchash and
reproduce the asehoods of his potent ally with any
prospect of injury to the able American funconaries
against whom his attacks directed But Lonis Napo
leon had given the order to his organ at New York to
the attack and matter of course the Brit
ish organ had only TO echo the assault.
The trial of Hertz and Perkins at Philadelphia for viola

men for the British service furnishes the exciting Of
