mm L’VTEXLIGEACEK-4TS STRANGE
POSITION,
The Wflsliingtoh Union (the organ of the
National Administration) is disposed to claitn
nine .Democratic members from Pennsylvania,,
in the next Congress.' The Union had better
bo cautious, dr it will incur tho displeasure of
Cameron’s "Press” in York, the “CarlisleFb/-
«nfcer, n and tlio “Perry Democrat,” for thus
daring to insinuate that possibly Mr. Todd (the
member elect from that district) majr-be found
acting with the Democrats when ho goes to
Washington.— Lancaster Intelligencer.
The courscof the Intelligencer, since the elec
tion, has been mysterious and difficult to under
stand. Nearly every numberof that‘paper, for
the last month, has contained a defence of Mr.
Todd, tho Know-Nothing member of Congress
elect from this district. The Democracy of the
District considered that Mc/Bonuaji’s defeat
was their defeat also, but the Intelligencer con-,
soles them by tho information'that Mr. Todd |
is- 4 ‘ oho of nine Democratic members from
Pennsylvania,” and that thp Democrats of Wr
District have hot been defeated at all. Mr.
Todd was tho nominee of the Whigs and Know-
Nothings of the District, and they elected him,
and yet tho Intelligencer endorses him asamost
-excellent Democrat, and rejoices over his elec
i tion ! But, to show tho consistency of the In •
lelligenccr. The leading editorial in the last
number of this same paper denounces Kuow-
Nothingism in unmeasured terms. . In speak
ing of men who “ called themselves Democrats ,”
but who for tho sake of obtaining office joined
tho Know-Nothing order, tho Intelligencer
bolds the following strong language. Dow well
the remarks apply to this county : ,
“We ask tho men who have been called, detp
omt», but who deserted their colors in thVlato I
election, what have you gained 1 Were you In |
pursuit of personal promotion? If so, you have
a solemn account to settle In days to come.—
Wore you deluded with tho idea, that you could
i embrace tho Too, and hereafter say you woro
: clean 7 Could you have supposed that tho gen
[ croua party which yon belied and deceived
1 could have taken you Immediately back In good
standing? Vourprobatlon will bo long and your
! penanco hard, before that time will como.
Ton betrayed your party—yon abandoned
i your principles—and what did you gain? A
Know-Nothing Whig Governor and o Know-
Nothing Whig member of Congress, These aro |
your gainst are you not proud of the achieve
ment/ Do you suppose that you are elevated]
above tho men you have prostrated? They foil 1
on the imperishable rock of principle—with tlielr
colors in their hand —and will rise again. You l
have fallen in tho slough of Know-Nothlngism
and Federalism, and there you will remain. You
consorted wUUmcn In the dead watches of the
night, because your actions would not boar the
scrutiny of day-light—in stables—ln hog sties—
Id corn-crlhs—ln dog kennels, and were there
leagued to them by oaths, which you would bo
ashamed to hoar repeated before tho Intelligent
portion ol your fellow creatures.
I « May bo there arc Borne of you, who on the
I strongh of your former Democratic character,
may venture to nsk, wficn you shall havo vom
ited forth tho abhorrent contents of your politi
cal stomachs, n boon at the hands of that Bnm<
democracy you havo abandoned and betrayed ?
Will that democracy remove you again and give
you « I'OHITIOH V* There trill bo a time of pro
bation. Mko every other one, who has com
mitted Ireasonabloncts,yonr claims tnaypotsi
bly bo a longtime postponed. Aroyounot ownro
that you are “shining marks??’
“In your moments of reflection, and you will
linvo many, Intn these considerations over In
yoilrrolnil. Heflocliiponyourpoimc»ldi»gulso,
and that while you may fancy the withes, with
w ji[cli you havo hound tho Domocrstic body—
ho may, like Sampson, ho upon you when yon
little suspect it,
ii Von havo aided to restore tho dismembered
fragments oflho old Federal party—helped to
rorlvo the Allen and Sedition taws—and have
Joined yonrwelvcs to tho now idols. In tho end
it will remain to bo seen what you havo gained

ciple Is slain, in ton men, nor in an hundred. It
is Immortal and will live—while Know-Notliing-
Ism will bo ahovolcd out of tho stye with its
kindred tilth.”
Such is tho, language of tho 'lntelligencer
when speaking of treacherous Know-Nothlng
ifim in general. The Know-Nothings in this
State, according to the Intelligencer, are a des
perate set of political freebooters,Mr. Toon, of
thiscounty, ohcaysexceptedl IVo can’t under
stand the position of our friend the Captain.
In conclusion, wemay say that the Washing-
ton Union never claimed Mr. Toon ns a Demo
crat. The Intelligencer felt "disposed’' to
stretch it a little when it made Hus assertion—
The Union, shortly after the election, copied
an article from tho Lancaster Intelligencer fin.
which Mr, . Todd was ;claimcd as x a Democrat,
but tbcl/nion'BcvercndoreedbtmKnow-Noth-
Irtg member; and we feel sure it‘pcv£r>wUl. • If
Mr. Todd, when in, Congress, beta. with tho

who are numbered ns bis lato supporters. ’■

with very serious reverses at Sebastopol, '• Two ,
of their naval vessels have been injured in their j

The battle took place on tho 25th. The at

Know Notiu.vqi3U.— Judge bonglass deals
with this treason lu tho followingbofd arid poin
ted manner. In' a recent speech delivered At
GalCna, Illinois, ho “denounced’tho institution
as at war with civil and religious liberty, as sub',
vorsivo of tho penca of tho country and Us In
stitutions, as destructive of Christianity, and
highly Immoral In Us tendency. , Ho ( showed
that every who wont Into it was sworn to porpei
trato falsehood, and if necessary,to perjure him
self. This will not ho denied, because they
pledge before- high heaven,- if questioned as to
1 their knowledge of, or identity with, this secret
oalh'bound order, to say that they know nothing
about It. Every time ono of them makes such
a reply ho tells a falsehood, and ho baa pledged
In presence of Ids God to do so. Suppoeo n
. [member bf tfio called to testify in*S
court of Justice, and the question was put to
him whether ho knew anything about tho order,
what Is Ids position ? It is that of having
taken two oaths—ono to tell tho truth, tho whole
truth) and nothing bnt tho truth, and tho other
to tell a falsehood. ■Whatever might bo his an
swer, ho would boa perjured mah.”
Martin Van Buuen.—This gentlemen is now

his readers bo when it is published, which, I
regret to say, will npt be till aft,cr his death,
and that event, judging from his present ap*
pcaranco and condition, will bo many years
hence. Tho,old gentleman seems to have part
ed with all his partisan animosities and preju
dices, for ho had some, though fewer than any
man I ever knew who had spent so large a por
tion of his life in party conflicts. Ho has been

London, Friday. Oct
.Tho steamer of to-morrow will,caity *;tho
startling, intclligcnoo .that.VHia •
Minister of the of America at the
Cpurt of Madrid has been expelled from France,
through-which country howos returnuig to his
host. . .Th^simple 1 narrative of such an Vent,
Js; I ihink. tho best manner of lotting you know
the extent of tho indignation felt hero by every
American,' without distinction of"party, and tp
bo felt, no doubt, by all tho citizens of our in
tentionally insulted Republic, so I give you tho
following details: v , - v
Mr. Soulo having spebt two dnyk in London,
sot out last Tuesday for Madrid via France . —
Oil his arrival at Calais, ho, was asked,to show
his passport, and having done so. -.was request
ed to step into on inner room of tho l Bureau de
Police. Ilcrche was told ho must leave tho
country by the next steamer, and that he would
not bo allowed,in tho meanwhile lo go any
where out of Calais* being in-fact place under
surveillance. f . 1
i “There must bo a-roistako., sir,!!. said oud
Minister? -ido-you JcnowiWho.l ami*
: “Thereto not theslightest mistake, sir, ’’ was
tiitfreply? “you arp Sir,;Soulo, v tho Ambasßa?:
dor,of the Unitnd States-of America, at tho
Court of:Spain, and,l-have orders not to let
you pass.'’; -, f
' :“,\Vhero arc your.:orders, sir?’,’,asked Mr-
Soule. -n .■ !•.- • v ■ • <•» -i,‘:
“This is no„ business of.yours, fllr: these
orders arc.for me, and! nra.actingiupon them,*’
said,the Commissary. . .- ~ -
This happened at Calais. Somethingmore
was said, but of po public concern.’. Mr. Sonic
left by tho next steamer, and readied London
lato in tho-cvenjiig day before The
nows being made known in American circles,
tho greatest excitement prevailed, and, ns may
bo imagined, measures of all sorts were suggest-,
edamidstgreat indignation.. .-I
Tho Legation, partook of course, of the gen
eral excitement. I have not hod the honor, of
seeing Mr. Buchanan since his return, butftom
alii hear, ho maintained throughout this irri
tating allair a diguilied resolution • to concur in
every step, to require due apologies for an in
sult against our national honor,, The whole
morning of yesterday was spent in consulta
tion, tho result of which was the decision.to
send over Hr, Sickles, in order that ho might
obtain a real knowledge of. what that proceed
ing really meant. It was thought that the act,
might have; been a mere personal affair, capa*
. bla of such a construction ns not to assume the
menacing aspect of an insult from one power to
1 another. . ' . •-
Tho mission of Mr. Sickles was, accordingly,
be one of inquiry., 110 was not to push twit
ters to an extreme if the insulting party should
offer explanations that might be accepted, at
least for the moment, as on .apology, to the
United Slates. It was in this spirit of modera
tion that Mr. Sickles was to go yesterday even
ing to Paris, in order to communicate the views
and tho advices of tho Legation in London,to
that in Xhiris. I must not omit to.say that
this moderation'was deemed to be out of sea
son by manyv The outrage was, palpable, di
rect, not to be explained away, and consequent
ly not admitting any other, step, if immediate
satisfaction should not bebffrrcd, than ;that of
tho withdrawal of Mr, Mafjon - and the whole
Legation from France. •
- That act is tho answer of European despo
tism to tho Congress of American Democratic’
Diplomats. If it were a personal affair, Mr*
Soule would not have been allowed to enter
Franco on his leaving Spain, but he was a uttered
to do so. He went all over tho country—nay
more, ho had his diplomatic confreres held one
of their consultations on French territory, at
Boulogne, so it was not tho man. Mr. Soule,
but tho Mutsler Soule, to whom the alfront
has been offered. Among tho many persons
who hold this oninon is Mr. Keverdy\ Johnson,
of Baltimore, who wrote m that spirit along
letter to Mr. Mason. •
These .were the arrangements yesterday mom*
mg. But, Sir, Mr* Sickles Alid not go, after
oil. - lie was prevented from doing, so by a
m^senier/Nvlio-<^Q«Vor.ycAiotdayvatjioqn.rr.
Yciur correspondent from Pans Will probably
send you his report about what lie knows, but
I giro you, at all cvertts, my account. Mr.
Mason—the news of the Calms outrage haring
reached him—went to the Foreign Office, and
wished to scoM. Dronyn del*Huys immedi
aieltj. Ho was left watting two full hours. —
Admitted at last, ho remarked, Jinst of all,
upon his .tardy, reception. Some apologies
were made, but in a tom and manner that con
vinced Mr. Mason that ho had been left waiting
purposely. Ue dropped the matter, however,
and passed to the object of his official call, and
asked the reason why Mr. Soule hod. not been
permitted to pass through Franco cn route to
Spain. •
: ‘Well,' said M. Pronyn - del Buys, in n very
impertinent tone, “there arc kipoiw for that.
Being pressed for these, reasons, Mr. Mason
wok told that there,were three of them.
First—The treatment ofM. Billion, French
Consel in California.
Secondly—The letter of Mr. Sandora to the
French people.
Thirdly—Cuba!
The French Foreign, Secretary said that the
Impe.ricl Government cannot bo expected to
treat, in the usual friendly way. the citizens of
a State that has behaved in such a hostile man
ner toward it.
I am told, that Mr. Mason replied .ih. the way
that will have occurred to every 900 else on he*
jug told tho reasons. lie said that the ofi’air of
Mr Dillon was, in the worst possible construe
tion, but tho mere blunder of a court of justice,
and that it cannot, accordingly bo made paral
lel with a case in which the,. United Sttacs.arp
insulted by order of tho highest authority of
another State. . Tho letter qf Mr. Sanders was
tho net of an individual, who h*d, moreover,
been recalled from an official positiop .before ho
published anything. • Americana Imvclhoright
to,say what they like, and tho Government has
no control over their pens and presses.
This is a personal matter, which could, per
haps, have excused a discourtesy towards, the
citizen Sanders, if ho .should hare presented
himself on tho frontiers of France-—but ltcci>
| taioly did not authorize a step like .that against
| tho United States Minister. As to,Cuba, Mr.
Mason absolutely denied—if Ipm wclUnfprmcd
—tho.rightof any Power to meddle with dlfll
cullicfl that may have arisen bowce'n Spain and
tho.Unitcd States. Ho, at oil events, could
notsptfbpw questions of foreign policy, can be
lr«atodby affronts offered to a friendly Power.
The two ministers parted very muph excited,
and Mp. Mason was fully prepared to ask > for
1 bis passport. Ho sent, however, the special
messenger to Mr. Huchanan, before deciding
upon tho step. : ,
