Mr. SCHENCIX. The Gentfrom NewYork with his usual astuteness cannot comprehend the point which I make. I did allude to the case of Mr. Van Buren, but I alluded to it with the general remark under no circumstances ought the rePresentative of our country abroad, who should rePresent this country as a unit, be permitted to call attention to differences at home or to the existence of struggles between coordinate branches of the Government. Now, the gentleman draws a distinction in this; Mr. Van Buren's communication was made to that foreign Power, and Mr. Harvey’s was a letter to the SecyState at home, and that it must have gone to the SecyState, to whom it was addressed, before it could get into the newspapers. I make, then, this general remark on that view of the subject; that if the SecyState, rePresenting the Foreign Dept of our Government, keeps a minister abroad who indulges in writing political and partisan essays attacking those who differ from the President or the Administration, and then the SecyState permits himself to be the conduit through which such tirades reach the public by being printed in the newspapers, it is time to let Mr. Seward know that he had better keep such partisan defenders in the petty political offices at home. do not care to know whether it was with Harvey's original consent, or whether it was a specimen of the judgment of Mr. Seward or.". President that this aper was made public; wherever it E. was pubits effect must necessarily have been to react abroad and to leave the people to infer, “Here is a minister from the U.S. who entertains and exPresses views of this kind in regard to the squabbles at home; he could not be sent here to rePresent that great Government unless he was pretty well informed upon these subjects, and capable of making them comprehensible to those who surround him here and in the country from which he is sent.” I care not therefore how it got into the public papers; I say there is a minister of the U.S. who writes a partisan tirade abusing those who differ from his master, the man who has become his master, and toward whom he seeks thus to be obsequious, and by this means seeks to commend himself to that master; that letter goes to the SecyState, and by the connivance of that SecyState, or perhaps of the President, by one or both of them, who thought it was a good political essay and would answer some partisan purpose, it is thrust into the public prints and then goes back again to affect the position of Harvey as minister to that government.
