"iPioHdCy. his letler 10 the London Times is
Characteristic: you can see IN it the revolver
| and bowieIknife, with all the ''gril' and RASH
ness which characterize Kentuckian of bis
''stI lie. - and which incapacitate man for sue
cessfnl Diplomacy. His concealed threat to the
British Lion can scarcely be deemed polite un-
der The circumstances, while his attempt 10
frlghtPn that highly respectable aaftnal with an
army OF several millions OF unborn. and unbe-
gotten American citizens, or soldiers, might be
deemed slightly ridiculous. The truth IS, the
writing of even sensible letter for the public
press by an Ambassador, even in the country 10
which he is sent, would be impclltc, if such
| letter treated of matters between that country
and his own but to stop on his way to bis own
post, IN another minister's bailiwIck, and read
the government public lecture on ITS duty and
interests, and very foolshly worded lecture at
that, is, in an Ambassador, the very height OF
diplomatic folly. Mr.. Clay has efectualIy
done for himself wYat nogberry emphatically
desired done for hana !; and therefore need say
no more on this part OF my subject.
CARL SEIZURE, who sailed for Spain few
days ago, is German philosopher and politician,
OF rare6ed and highly sublmated mind and NOR
ais. There is class os philosophical and phi
lanthropical fanatics IN Northern Germany,
who, in lmpracticabilty of purpose and lack of
common sense, distance all competitors; and
Carl is distinguished as sort of second rate
leader OF this peculiar class. One of the distin-
gCshIng characteristics OF this school, is an un-
goVernable propensity TO upset all existing in
stitutons, religious. political & social. You could
not place them under any government which
they would not deem it their duty to overturU;
there is no system of religion on earth, which
meets their views of proprety there IS no So
cial institutions which they do not consider a.
bomlnable. They are for perfect freedom in
everything and for everything. II was there
fore, perfectly natural that the hero of this par
agraph should join party the ssprinciples' Of
which more nearly resembled his own than
those of any other political organization in this
country. He joined that party he exerted all
hia powers 10 its behalf; taking care, however,
to receive for his disinterested efforts qaid pro
guo in dollars and cents. Nevertheless, he de-
manded and received the appointment of Min
ssE 2 Madrd Ths Seyoq%d % .e deubi il tbs
by the present Administration.
ANsoN BURLINGAME is, personally as well as
politically, known to the writer OF this commu-
nication. Politically be is somewhat known
to almost all who have read OF political matters
d
is a very agreeable geasFemau-poltically he
is simply 'Fblalherskite.'' In 1856 he ranted
and raved like madman, declaring that we
" should rave an ant-slavery Constitution, and
an anli-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God;"
and it was this declaration, more than any good
thing he ever said OF did, that made him known
to the American people. His next most COR
spicuous act was achieving lis own defeat IN
fho RI nal C1c ufhE Erh fa.~k
presumed, induced his appointment to the Aus
tran mission.
NORMAN B. JUDD. know him we'll. He
is pretty ssgood citizen" of Chicago, and goes
to church twhen at homel with becoming regu-
larity. Mr.. Judd has served for some in
the State Senate of Illinois has tried ihFvaiR
10 be U. s. Senator; has tried in VAIN to be
Governor of Illinois, or rather, to be nominated
by his party for that office has abored 10 vain,
good deal; ; but, he stToVe for Lncoln's ,nomi-
nation at Chicago,and with the help OF Greeley,
Lane, of IDdiana, Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, and
other anti-Seward men, succeeded wherefore
he succeeded in securing The appointment TO
Berlin. Mr.. Judd can't speak any language
but the English. His Secretary OF Legation is
German politician, OF Chicago, named Kneiss-
man.
JAMES E. HARVEY, though seemingly without
" local habliation," has lately acquired a
"name." Like you, think he ought to be
heard before being condemned on the charge of
treason. 1t is certainly very cowardly ON the
part of his quondam friend and employer, the
editor of the Tribune, to condemn HIM, as he
does, without hearing. But apart from this
recent alleged revelation of treason, there is no
good reason why Mr.. Harvey should have been
appointed to represent this country abroad. He
is toerable letter-wrter; he has those Paul
Pry qualities which enable a Washington cor
respondent TO obtain States secrets,na8dHe has
those other qualities which enabled him TO pub
Lish such secrets, or permit them to be publish
ed. Mr.. Greeley admits that he employed him
as spy upon Mr.. Buchanan's Administrator,
and paid him for State secrets thus obtained. -
Mr.. Harvey has never been in the national or
State counselS, and has never been known TO
the American public beyond athe circle Of bis
readers, not one in hundred OF whom knew
who wrote the anonymous letters they read from,
his pen, and, had every voter 10 the Union
known him as the writer of those letters, it is
not probable that any body would have inferred
therqffom that MIR. Harvey ought TO be sent as
Minister 10 the Court of Spain. S~%&
30 mucn lot our ministers 10 LuSidnu, iauSo1

II is to be feared that after their measure s6alF
have been taken by the statesmen and diplomats
of Europe, the latter will conclude that our
great Republic is about "played out" They
must conclude that ii ist he I" last run of shad."
God save the Commonwealth!
