WASHINGTON NEWS.

The President seut in his message to both
Houses Of Congress on the 20ll ult., an
nouncing the dismissal Of the British, Min
ister, Mr.. CRAMproS, and the Consuls at
Philadelphia, New York and Cincinnati.
The public had anticipated what would be
tho action of our Government, provided
Britain declined to recall linn. The an
nounccment is not, therefore, startling, and
will create no panic except among those
WHO, from excessive tinidity, nightly dream
Of war and bloodshed. The mere dismissal
OF n Minister Is not of itself Cause of war.
However much we would deprecate
disruption Of our peaceful relations with
England, it would have this one effect, viz :
that of diverting our Government from Sec
tional Issues, domestic quarrels, and civil
feuds, and uniting them in repeIling the
assaults OF common enemy. A seven
years war, us did tho Revolution, may band
us together for another three score aud ten.
Something must happen TO arrest the tide
OF sectional strife between North and South.
or else separation is Inevitable.

A PUBLIC MEETING.

We yield with pleasure Il portion OF our
space to the proceedings of the meeting of
the citizens of this District, in reference to
the BHooKs and SUMNER affair. The meet
ing was conducted with that caImncss and
dclihcration characteristic of our citizens.
1t was attcndcd, We suppose, by at least five
hundred of the most Intelligent citizens
Of the District, not ol.e OF whom voted
against the complimentary resolutions to Mr..
BROOKS; and we hazard nothing III saying
that there were not n dozen persons present
who did not in every particular endorse the
conduct Of Col. BEooKs, in tcpclin", in
the only way it could have been rrpclcd, a
libel upon his State, and personal insult 10
his aged relative. Who can doubt the
proprc,y Of his conduct, when taken in
connection with all the circumstances at
tending it Wherever Il man, as did sun
SEn, deliberately travels beyond the lcgiti-
mate bounds Of argument for the purposes
OF personal vitupcration and slandcr, he
should be held personally responsible for it.
1t is a sckly morality that allows a man to
dcfame and traducc the character of his
neighbor, and then plead the dignity of his
station, or, what is worse, shield himself
from the consequences of his inf;.my be-
hind his cowardicc and lttleness of soul.
He is unworthy the name Of man, who is
ever willing to give an insult but has not
the spirit to resent one when given.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Who will be the Democratic nominee of
the Cincinnati Convention is the imp.-
tent enquiry of the political friends of each
Of the aspiraut> TO this position. Since the
nomination of that body is considered
eqnivalcn. to IAN election, its probable
action becomes an absorbing theme.
The friends Of those whose names have
been spoken of in this Connection, arc be-
ginning TO move the waters-to put the
wires i'll ordcr-to set in motion the ma
chinery that is to give President to tic
nation for the next four years. We only
alludc to this subject to express our disappro.
baton of ono of the objections whicl,
has been mooted by our profrsscdly North
ern friends, and Which will doubtless be
strc"uousIy urged in the Convention against
FEAHKLIN PIERCE, or any other man who
has raised lis voice in defence Of the consti-
tu,ional rights Of the South. This Objection
is that more than shameful plea-avaiIabil-
itv. PIERCE and DOUGLASS, say our
Northern friends, will not be available, and
why: simply because of their bold advo-
cacy Of the constitutional rights Of every
section Of the Cnion-bcca,,se they have
nobly refused TO cater to Northern prciu-
diccs-to add fuel to the flame of ianati-
cism which sweeps over that otherwise
happy land.
What docs this Objection amount to ?
AnaIyze it rs you will, it resolves Itself into
the shameful! argument that Southern De-
mocracy must coLcilatc frccsoilism, or sub
nit to an in.lorious defeat. In other words
to insure the success Of the Democratic
nominee, the Democracy must overslaugh
those who have been prominent in arresting
the tide Of Northern tanaticism-who have
been inundated upon the altar of the Con-
stitution. We are counsclcd to pass hv
PIERCE and others, because, hy their faith
lul adherence to the principles OF right,
they have made themselves obnoxious to
Northern Democracy, and arc therefore not
available. But this is not the principle
upon which sensible men should act. Ii
were base ingra,itulc to prove recreant to
those who have becn faithful to us. We
should rally around the leader who is bat
Ting i'll our cause. Away with that mscr-
able suh'erfi's':-availaLli,y We prefer
defeat i'll the cause Of truth and justice, to
triumph in falschood and wrong. Let the
honors Of a nation fall upon those who, by
distinguished merit, arc entitled to them.
Concession anil cancellation to freesoiism
will end but i'll disgrace and contumclv.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.


A message from the President was re-
ccived in both Houses Of Congress, an
nouncing the dismissal of Mr.. Cr,lnp,on.
will, the revocation of the exeouat"rs of
the implirntcd Cunsuls. The message also
enclosed Mr.. Marcy's reply to Lord CIarcn-
don, dated 9th.
Mr.. Marcy says the President had care
fully considered the note Of Lord Clarcn-
don of 3OtL April, and WAS much graiitied
by IFS concilia,ory spirit and desire to
strengthen the friendly relations between
the two governments, rs well us the de-
clamcr OF any intention to violate the laws
of the United States, and also expressions
of regret that contrary to the intention and
direction OF the British Government, there
had been such an Infringement. All these
were satisfactory to the President, and tie
main complaint respecting her Majrs.y's
government was thus removed. The Pres
dcnt, however, regretted extremely that he
Clarendon to the effect that tho Minister
Cranpt"n and the ComsuIs in New York,
Philadelphia, and Cincinnati were not i'm
plicatcd i'll the enlistment matters, and
therefore he regards th,,Se lrnccforil as
having no connection with this govern
mcnt.
The President had no demands TO make
upon her MnjrsIy's Government in these
proceedings, but in the eases of individuals
above mentioned, he dcemr, it proper their
diplomatic rclatious with this government
should cease.
In taking this step. however, he did not
intend to make any interruption in The dli-
piolnatic relations lmiwecn the United
States and Great Britain. but on the con-
lrary he WAS drsir"us OF keeping the two
countries upon friendly footing.
MIR. Crampt"n's withdrawal was asked
for 10y the United States on the ground of
his connection with the enlistment business.
and this had rendered him and the others
implicated unacceptable representatives %!
Great Britain near this government. It
was for such reasons that their withdrawal
had been requested.
All these officers are, as this government
still! continues to bclicvc, implicated in Il
violation of the law aud dignity of the
United States, notwithstanding aI rrilcr:,-
ted Instructions of their own government.
This completely did not rest solely on the.
testimony of S,rrhcl and Hertz, with
the original letters from Mr.. Cra"np,on and
others.
The despatch gives detail OF the cvi-
lence against those British officers. This
message WAS duly transferred to the Senate
and TO the House. Cu,viiuiun.
