Dir. Seward as q Paoihcator,

If Mr.. william III. Seward was not too
old to drop diplomacy and put on tho bus
kin, VIC should recommend the stage as n
splendid field for his talents. In the far CO
of tho "UScdup man." he would become as
famous as Burton was as Toodlcs, and JEFF.
erson MS Rip Van Wrinkle. He managed TO
get rid ofMaximilian, who was Christian
gentleman, and has u dcmoralized, maraud-
ing, blood thirsty party of Mexico upon his
hands, with SCOTS at his advice, snubs his
ambassadors and is thinking ofnothina but
brigaudage, military executions, forced
loans, and tho persecution of foreign
ers.
He has recently been Ipeddling offers of
"Amcrican mediation" to any number of
wild cat South American Republics and
German Principali;ies, and pressing his
services as "Pac!fcator" upon them as per-
sistently as if he was Connecticut vendcr
Of wooden clocks. But these "wrnnglin,.
nationalities" have, with one accord, rerus~
cd to accept his friendly offers. and poor
Mr. Seward has nothing to foil back upon
but the glory Of that new but not incxpcn-
sivc real estate transaction, by which we
have become the proprietors Of the North
Pole and fifty thousand blubbcr. eating Es-
quimaux.
He cannot be accused, however, of impcr-

self with n gushing offer of friendly assis-
lance to the little Grand Duchics, if Con-
gress had not recommended au attempt,
upon our part, to prevent the aforesaid
Nopublics from cnactng Tho tragedy Of the
Kilkenny cats. But Congress, after dcvo-
ting two years to preventing the pacihcation
of ten Republican States in North America,
ordered poor Mr.. Saward to try his hand
as u mediator upon tho South American
Republics.
Looking to The condition ofthc physcian's
household, who is recommending guack pa
cifcation nostrums to anarchial South
American Republics, we think they were
right TO reject his medicines. They might
certainly require him, asthc agent of.Con-
grcsa, TO heal our own gaping wounds be-
fore he tried his hand upon Republics which
arc never happy or comfortable unless thoy
arc marauding, pillaging and getting up
revolutions.
Why do not either the dimnutivc Duchics
of Europe, or the wol6sh little Republics of
South America offer their services TO us as
