MR. MARCY AND MR.. CHAMPION.
In the whole United States three journals have been
found and three only justify the agents of the British
government and to vuprae those Of the American gov
in reference TO what has been done on both sides
regarding the enlistment OF British troops in The United
States Those journals are Of Them foreign the French
Courier DIES Flats Us and the British Albion, and one
American only the New York Courier and Enquirer The
violation OF law in the case and the aggression our
ional honor have been palpabe that with the above
exceptions Reproduction of the of the British govern
and appreciation otha of ths American are far
have observed unanimous and spontaneous through
out the country,
| We remarked few days ago upon the silly attack
political administration Of justice and law officers
made by the mpertinent foreigners of the Albion, who thus
impudenty abuse the hospitality which they enjoy in the
United States We return to the subject for the pur-
pose of calling the public attention deliberate msrepre
senation which the article of the Albion contains in
important particular concerning the conduct of Mr.
Marcy.
After distinctly and most unequivocay itself admitting
that the scheme of recruiting for the British army in the
United States had been deliberately sub
hitting to Hthe awkwardness of conessing it does
shat the connection and execution of this scheme fol
drawing recruits from the United States has been dpor
ably bungled from first last and by almost every man
engaged in it, and with admirable simplicity avowing
that "Mr Champion had hand in furthering iafter all
4 this, the Albion proceeds to say
we affirm that what done by Mr. Champion had the
previous sanction of Mr. Marcy the American Secretary
Satean unofficial sanction and that not be plead
ed in such diplomatic correspondence shall hereafter
the light but the less satisfactory for those
would this the grounds oil right
and wrong"
Here is direct affirmation which directly contra
dict We say, and authorized in the fullest terms te
say, that the imputaon thus made Mr. Marcy sa false
hood by whomsoever it penned prompted and IN
whatever to be taken 1t utterly and in all posi-
BILE relations false that in what Mr. Champion has done
he had the previous sanction of Mr. Marcy official or I'M
Official Nay we aver that the precise contrary is the
\ fact
j The London Times--whicb, by a systematic course
of indscriminae COLONIZATION, day of Austria, an
other of Prussia, and at all times of the adminsra-
ton, civil and military, Of Great Britain ITSELF has
done more to discredit its country in the eyes OF
the world to cripple the public resources and thus to pro-
tract the defence of Sebastopo than all which the genius
of Todteben the experience of Menschko or tue tcnacty
of Gortschako could Of themselves have accomplished
and which, is notorious though feared, is dcspscd foI
its mercenary mendaciy and hated for its low nagnity
i by every man. woman, and child in Great Britain aud
i Ireand--has lately put forth column of insult e
the United States, conceived in its usual spirit o.
stod but pompous ignorance and insolencc, and un.
dertakes to say GIVE have and we claim the right to
take every reasonable precaution against that spirit Of
unbridled license which the present government Of tho
United States inclined TO tolerate II must be adj
med that such publications that Of the Albion DO at
ford example in the absence of any other OF the toe
ration of unbridled license in the United States.
AS for the London Times, which takes the theme
its recent assault this republic the absolutely false and
groundess declaration that din her ports arc fitting out, al
this moment paticaI bustcrng expeditions, destined
to carry war and boodshed into the domnons OF an uno
tending neighbour sincerely trust that it may utterly
fail to exercise any effect whatever good bad upon thu
existing political relations OF Great Britain and the United
States Whatever may be said or thought in Great
Britain of the awessness of individuals or the oler-
ance of government in the United States, we, the
other hand in this country look with amazement on the
fact that the London Times which lives but 10 lie whose
every breath is libel which fourishes and grows fat by
habtual crime and which, by the tolerance it enjoys at
the timd or vicious hands of the law goes nnwhpt by
that iustice which does not spare less mischevous male
facorwe are amazed at the fact which we see but do
not comprehend that the Times has been permitted by the
peope of Great Britain arrogate and seize to sef the
dictatorship of that counryan autocracy OF mere alse-
hood malQnity and wicSednessby which 1t is able TO
drive into obsoury her best and her urest statesmen like
Aberdeen and Newcastle and Gladstone; TO hound on
to disgrace or death her chosen military or naval
i captains like Raglan and Simpson, Dunbar Boxer,
and Christie; to break down administrations and ar
miles, and perpetualy to embroil Great Britain with
all the governments of Europe and America to ahen-
ate and repe her friends and TO render her enemies
npacabe There may be weaknesses of administration
in the United States there may be awess men among our
epe but thank Heaven this example of bad em'nence
IN depravity and in crime, and OF disastrous influence
upon public affairs and upon society," has the seat OF It's
eyolent and noxous influence not in America; and II
Il shall exert at the present time any influence on the po-
tc relation Of the countries, it will do so only by
means of lie tolerated usurpaon of public authority in
Great Britain Weak and awlcss may be in the es7
tmaon Of the London Tmcs continue to be governed
by lawful authority under the constitution of the United
States.
