The Testimony OF an Enemy.

The enemies of Mr.. Buchanan's Administra-
ton have time and again declared that the man
ner in which our affairs with foreign govern
ments were being con iucted, was weak and
cowardly, and that in consequence our nation
was fast becoming contemplate in the eyes of
the whole world. The London Times, the Lead
ing newspaper of the world, thinks different
Hear what that paper says:
A very remarkable circumstance is now ex-
citing some attention in Germany, and it will
shortly excite still greater amount of interest
III the United States.
Every one knows the immense number of Ger
man emigrants who find their way into the Union.
Most of them, it is needless to state, in a condi-
tion far removed from affiuence, but however
poor they may be when they leave home they
generally return to their native country in after
years in very comfortable circumstances. As
their lot is cast amongst Republicans, and as
they wish to have voice in the making of the
laws which govern them, these German emf
grants become, in the majority of cases, natural
lied Americans.
in this position recently returned to the country
of his birth and was drafted into the militia and
compelled to do military service He refused
and pleaded the laws of his adopted country,
and applied for protection to the American Con-
sui. The American Government has perempto-
rily demanded his release. 1t has done more
than this il has caused similar requistion to be
made upon other German Governments who are
made to understand that American citizens can
not be called upon to submit to the dictates of
arbitrary rule.
The German Powers, however distasteful it
may be to them, will give way, and they will
spect the rights of those German Americans who
return from the far west with a handsome
amount of dollars, with which to pass the even
ing of their days in their native country. II isa
remarkable fact that there rs no great Poooer nI

United States, and get ,cAich makes itself more
feared and respected abroad.
AT THE SEPULoHRE.-The Rev. Mr.. Gallagher,
at the grave, addressed the multitude who had
escorted to their last resting place the remains
of Senator Broderick. He there said, among
other things;
Whilst am compelled to regret and condemn
unequivocally the grand irreparable fault by
which he consented to his own death, feel a
pride and esteem it A privilege here in your pre-
sence and in common with you ALL to record my
high appreciation of the public virtues of the
man who, considering the times and circum-
stances, could say without fear of contradiction
in the hearing of the whole State, I" The man is
not living or dead who ever saw me at a gam
bling table, in brothel, or under the influence
of intoxicating drink" (June) This implies
no more virtues than a man S duty enjoins but
it is confessedly refreshing instance to our
present world, to which say all earthly honor
to him of whom such things can with truth be
said. Would to God be-
loved and esteemed fellow citizens, that this day,
which presents to the horror of a civilized world
the bleeding manged remains of murdered
Senator-Q make no allusion to his antagonist;
| say so with emphasis we might behold the
incpient step inaugurated on this memorable
spot, that would trampe in the dust this last
detested relic of Pagan barbaritv. Christian
men, on bended knee, before this melancholy
spectacle, with right hands raised to heaven,
registering there their solemn VOWS that they
would never cease from the peaceful, legal con-
sttutional agitation of this question, till every
remnant of it is eradicated from our Christian
State-a monument more durable than brass or
marble, and more valuable than the hands Of
man could erect" The Reverend speaker here,
turning to the corpse, said, with much feeling,
"Peace to thy ashes, joy to the spirit, truest and
most unsefsh of friends, and most moral of
public menl"
