OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.

State Department for the Legations, were
touching in the extreme. Such wringing
Of hands and such efusion Of tears have
hardly been witnessed since the immaculate
TRorrER had occasion to use his veteran |
handkerchief We have no doubt that the |
apostle Of unadulterated radicalsm, and the |
champion Of the downtrodden black race in |
the District Of Columbia, Qor he is mum"
with regard to his colored brethren in Penn
sylvania,) feels wronged and outraged by be-
ing deprived Of the little patronage and dis
tinguished honor of holding an Official rela-
ton to the first department Of the American
Government. To touch this paragon Of un-
selfish patriotism in the pocket is to wound
him in very truth. While free and unre-
strained discussion of public questions is the
undoubted right Of the citizen, and the un-
abridged freedom Of the public pressis time
honored and valuables American privilege,
we cannot see with what consistency the
Government is expected to employ as its
official organ the most abusive, the most
unscrupulous, the most unprincipled paper
in this land.
It not only permits, but it is wholly indffer-
ent to the daily ISLANDERS upon the Admins
tration, which is faithfully carrying out the
