THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND TIE NEW
YORK HERALD.

1t is nearly two years since we heard gentle
tleman, then and holding one of the most
honorable and lucrative appointments under Prcsi-
dent buchanan. remark of that distinguished man.
that he was a very moral and very pious person;
and that his principal failing was a constitutional
inability 10 tell the truth. With all his respect for
his official head, he felt constrained to confess that
not the slightest reliance could be placed upon his
promises. Indeed, he never really feared Mr. Bu-
chanan's hostility until after he had received from
him distinct and explicit promise of aid and friend
ship.
This seemed to us at the time rather harsh ulo-
mcnt, and if had come from anybody but one Of
the Presidents appointecs should have charge ed
1t to the account of some personal prejudice Sub
sequent events, however, have shown us that it
was the dlSpaSSlOnatG estimate OF 4 disntCrcstcd
and intimate friend. Mr.. buchanan up TO that
period had been Il diplOmatist-and had vndicated
the famous pun of Sir Henry WottOn who defined
Il diplomatist as man sent to lie abroad for his
country advantage. lie has since become = cs.-
dent, and varies the practice only by living at home
for his His whole official career has been one
protracted game at hide and seek with the truth
lie has been the SOphy Wackles of statesmen No
man has ever come in contact with him without
grieving that he ever knew ga chief so fair vet
so deceIyng. Those who knew him best have
trusted him lcast-and those who never trusted him
at all are the only persons he has never BETRAYED
His dealings with the Press bears the same brand
OF paltry treachery which marks his dealings with
everybody else. For two years in succession his
Message has been sent on to New York bv sppciaI
mcsscngcr,-in Il compact package addressed TO
some truStv friend, to be opened and its precious
contents distributed to the city journals the mo-
ment its delivery to Congress should be announced
by telegraph. The whole object of this proceeding
was, proiesscdly, to put all the papers upon an
equal loOting,-to give it to each at the same mo-
mcnt. Its real object to induce them to rely
upon pledge never intended to be kept: for in both

Mr.. kingsley may therefore well rejoice at the

exercise over the cultivated young men of Great
Britain, ESPECIALLY those of the Umiyersites' with
