'FIhE TINES AND Nh. ChAMfIoN.
The probable dismissal of Mr. Crampton by the govern
OF the American republic Is naturally pouuced upon
by the Times 10 caumnate and 10 Insult the republic and
s government and 10 stir upa bloody war This tool Of
foreign despotsm and English oligarchy misses
malign reenen and 10 serve the Of ~
rants II has been ia the aeky OF every despot and
OF every ogarchc ministry and has proved consistent
in ibelling the people in writing up their oppressors
To reye the American nation and TO traduco its chiefs
has been the trade OF the Times Every bad passion
both sides OF the Atlantic has been goaded 70 mischief by
this reckless unprinCiped and most maCyolent Journal
Indifferent TO every thing but TO making sensation and
10 The sale of lis copies II would willingly stir brothers
10 unnatural strife 10 bankruptcy and slaughter and
poy every art and strain every nerve 10 make eemen
cut the throat Of freedom for the bene6t Of absolute au
thorty.p
The contribution Of the Times OF yesterday 10 lis mis-
sion Of promoting war Is as dirty and defamaory as hypo
critical and as ncenday as most OF those that have
coded IT, IL affects TO chucke with malicious eer
"some respite from the ceasecss advance OF the American
government in the path Of discord and aggression IL
not the British cabinet Lord Clarendon that tried
illegal enisung in America il not that sagaeious
nobeman who, cock and-bu story, and with insoen
haste despatched hostile squadron TO the Gulf OF Mex
leo II was not his lordship who Sold would have sold
muske TO the Costa Rcans il was not his captains who
had orders to and search American steamers it
not his Times his Post that instructed TO magn
everything Amercan No, the game of Ndiscord,p the
system OF aggression the work of Mister Pierce
oAister Pierces cabinet and OF Sinister Pierces hired
journalists.
Mr. Champion Is indeed dismissed proceeds the Times,
but 1--WE told that that act is oionr to be considered
the first in series OF proceedings INTENDED TO force Eng
land to recede still further and TO humble herself dishon
orabiy beore rival whom no apologies could satisfy and
no professions OF good viii could concale' The Times
is "old" this BY whom What authority has "tod" it
any such wretched dwelling and pernicous balderdash
The tale is its from beginning to end and like many
another tale II is Islander upon party TO misead and
to inlame another. The American government never
protested acted such sentiments, and the
attribung them IL is fasehood malicious rs il is
transparent and mean.
The cabinet of Aaser Pierce" being of dseord and
aggression, bent forcing England TO humble herself
dishonorably and that "no apologies could satisfy
and professions of good will conciatep throws into
bright relief the cabinet Of British lords of which the
Times is the organ
this most accurate Journal for the English government
has exhibited throughout obvioua and unaffected
uciance to compromise its friendly relations with the cab
net OF Washington Yes il showed that reluctance OBJ
vously and unaectedy when it set its Morning Post
call Americans "say0gps' better than cannba upon
the coast Of Guinea when it told them by that mouth
piece that they out OF the pale Of European ciy-
zaton and when it cried for coalition of the yrans Of
Europe TO run them down like pirates Yes, il showed
that reluctance TO compromise Its friendly relations with
the cabinet of Washington when its organ only the day
before yesterday nsolenty called that cabinet of Wash
ingon collection OF mobs.p
Mr. Champion is OF course in the columns Of the Times
compound of the hero and the martyr. lie is victim
Of defamation and democracy, Marcy, malice and Mister
Pierce" good struggling with the storms of fate
is spectacle worthy of the gods and such spectacle
most worthy of the gods is the exodus of Mr. Crampon
If anything transcend the sublmity of his departure
in rstclass carriage to Toronto it is the wretched fig
Mister Pierce and "Marcy cut in the logic of his
exeat. Never there such discontinue for them
such triumph for him, Observe It,
Mr. Champions "veracity was mpugnedp by the depo-
stons Of Hertz and Suobel, his own paid agents. Mr.
Champion replied that they raseas reply highly
aatering his discrimination in picking them out
for his confidence To Mr., Champions denial Mr. Marcy
rejoned that he did not rely those agents solely but
on Mr.. Champions "own admissions those admissions
less completely corroboratng the afirmatons of
tho; agents The admissions notes with Mr. Cramp
tons signature directing the men he now repudates
bonds to call upon him &C an" Ac aey man choose

De i remembered thatwhcn these passed Hertz
ana Srobel engaged in decided nfractons of the
neutrality law Of the States that they notoriously pan
pers were spending large sums of money; that their
trial they declared that the Illegal were prompted and
the means supplied, by Mr. Champion thar Mr. Champion
affected 70 repudia'e connection with the with the
mem aud that the notes in question cited 10 prove
ils confidential communication with them. Suuh conmu-
nicaton those notes do prove and Mr. Marcy properly
leans upon them flf their tendency Is 10 nvalidae Mr.
Champions disclaimer 6f bis instruments not their t.

The Times wakes logical too III these witnesses are

ieSed, they useless How funny So then, there ia
no such thing chain of crcunsantia evidence nor
coroboraton by collateral testimony of the assertions Of
inipugned Witnesses Yett would hang Palmer.
Mr. Champion may be model of yeracity and the most
ingenious Of ministers but for Of his word, he Is
peculiarly and universally unfortunate bis own agents

Hertz and Srobel contradict him Mr. Marcy contradics
him. Mr.. Clayton contradies him. Mr. Crttendcn contra

ton, on the Cayton-Bulwcr treaty. in communications
with Hertz and Strobc In conversation with Mr. Marcy
and IN conversation with Mr. Clayton In the presence Of
Mr. Citenden, he Is equally and BY all msrepresented
Either FIVE different individuals are downright aad deb-

ON the 22d Of March, Mr. Champion wrote TO Mr.. Marcy,
giving him 70 understand that the British government dis
countenanCed enlistment the very time when he
eandesne, but actively engaged in the business Of
listing.
While still pretending respec, for The laws and policy
the States Mr. Champion coucocted with tho governor Of
Nova Scotia plan ior raising recruits in those States in
contempt Of both policy and laws
Mr. Champion did carry out that plan did raise those
cruits did convey them TO Halifax and did enrol them in
the Foreign Legion there.

Hertz and Strobe whom be calls infamous and who

presented commissions in the British army.
