SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union comments on the futility of the quintruple newspaper alliance of New York city, and quotes an interesting article in Sun- day’s New York Herald, wherein it is ex- plained with graphic force that the interfer- ance of the religious press in Fremont’s be- half, did his cause far more — _—— According to Bennett, the meanest, m z tees malicious, sneaking and the soiriest journals in the land are religious papers, so many of which were its cherished allies in the late canvass. The Herald is, indesd, a queer paper. The Intelizgencer devotes a page to the publication of a recent oration on the uses of astronomy, delivered by Mr. Edward Everett. The same paper quotes an interesting letter from the pen of the veteran Washington cor- respordent of the Journal of Commerce, wherein the entire success of the foreign pol- icy of the present Administration is explained. That writer says but the truth in averring, in effect, that, so far as our foreign affairs are edncerned, the present Administration has been the most successful one that has yet been charged with the conduct of the public affairs of the United States. ————-<- 2 —_____—_ Taz Nicaraguan Imsrociio.—The duel which was to have taken place yesterday, ac- cording to newspaper announcement, between Gen. Goicouria and Mr. Randolph, all about the controversy growing out of N' icaraguan affairs, did not come off. The New York Her- ald of yesterday says : “It seems probable that it wiil not take ace this morning, as announced, owing to he publicity given to it, and also from the fact that Mr. Randolph is an invalid, and un- able even to walk without assistance. Should he fight, his friends will be compelled to car- him to the ground, and hold him up during the combat. It is, therefore, more than prob- able that the fight will be postponed to a more convenient season. The police made no effort to arrest the parties, and Gen. Goicouria was in the bar-room of the St. Nicholas Hotel ata Inte hour last night, while Mr. Randolph still remains at the Washington House, No. 1 Broadway.” PERSONAL. «+++ The Hon. Wm. C.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —— Central American Affairs —The current Rewspaper controversy between sundry of Walker's late and present friends now in Black Kepublican will be the. in- evitable consequenee. There will be no other to inherit the dead man’s effects. “The blunders of the Democracy, then, are to be the advantages of Black Republicanism. What a | of caution and circamspection Now York, in ite exposition of tho ebigpas' does this fact inculeate upon @ mn who of intogrity and respect for law, justice, BS} isin any sort responsible for tl of the tional or personal rights involved in the sys- tem upon which he has undertaken to make a monarch of himself and to strip the citizens of Nicaragua who possessed aught but rags on their backs, of their all, involves a moral that should not be lost on the South, wherein ef- forts are still being made to generate sympa- thy for his cause. We apprehend that no one of common sense can read the letters, pronun- ciamentoes or articles to which we allude, without comprehending that if ever a mere freebooter obtained netoriety by the boldness, recklessness, cruelty and entire disregard of the rights of others involved in his operations, it isthe adventurer Walker, who has shown himself as eweeping a tyrant and as selfish a man in his dealings with the unfortunate Americans who have trusted themselves with- in his clutches, as towards the natives He turns out to be by no means the man, if the revelations of his own friends are to be be- lieved, with whom the South can in any man- ner Identify its cause. That cause relies upon a single safeguard— a single anchor. That is, on the strict observ- ance of the guarantees and obligations of law and constitution. She cannot safely counte- nance their violation any where or by any parties; as it will never do for her to set the example of justifying any such flagrant disre- gard of law and national and individual rights as is involved in all Walker’s acts in Central America. So to do, would be simply & proclamation that she admits the soundness of the theory (in public affairs) that the end justifies the means. That is the position oc- eupied by the great party of the North bent on over-riding her rights under this Gicvern- ment. Though they had not the strength in the recent election to crown that theory of theirs with victory, they eame so neer a tri- umph, as that all wise and truly patriotic men at the South must now comprehend that for her (the South) tecitly to endorse the sound- ness of that doctrine—az she would be doing in countenancing Walker’s schemes—will be to bestow on it the strength necessary to give it—the position of the Republican party with reference to the guarantied rights of the South —an eventual triumph. That position once installed as the policy of the Government, and there would remain but one of two alter- natives forthe South. Either submission that would involve the speedy abnegation of all her rights under the constitution, to be accoin- panied by the entire destruction of all her great interests ; or on the other hand, a sopa- ration. While we do not hesitate to proclaim that we would prefer the latter in case of such a practical revolution of the Government of the United States aa would be involved in the in- at.:llation (in the Government) of the doctrines he!d by most of the Republican party presses and orators in the late canvass, we are for bavia g the South remain in the Union on tho terms of coequality on which it was origin- a'ly based. We know that for four years, at party! With what obstacles and embarrass- Penis does it threaten the incoming Adminis- tion ! weThe Democratic and Black Republican parties are nearly balaneed in respect of power. The former was victorious in the re- cent struggle, but success was hardly wen with the aid of important accidental sdvan- es. The latter has abated nothing of its zeal, and has suffered no pause in its prepara- tions for another battle. «Tn the next contest circumstances must be against us. The Democratic party will be placed in a very critical position, and will be subjected to @ trial that will tax its wisdom and its strength to the utmost. Under the best survive the vengeance of its foes and the treachery of its friends. How difficult, then, for a President to steer safely into harbor, when his course lies among breakers, at must encounter the fury of an inevitable storm? Everybody foresees the difficulties and dangers in Mr Buchanan’spath. Bvery- body understands that his administration must stand the hazards of a sectional controversy. But this is not all The Black Republican party will watch and waylay him at every step of his progress, will interpose all manner of obstacles in his way; will barrass him by open assault, will undermine him by secret treachery, will aggravate his embarra:sments, will op: detect se his measures, thwart his pod: is blunders—in short wilt fight him pon known in political warfare. ration triumph over such an accumulation of obstacles? Can Mr. Bucha- nan conduct the Democratic party through ell these difficulties and dangers, and bring it into the field in 1860 with no less of prestige or power? The explojt would rival the re treat of the Russians after the fall of the Mal- akoff; but the strategy of a Gortschakoff is essential to its accomplishment. The most brilliant reputation for statesmanship will be the prize of success; the irreparable over- throw of the party and the ruin of the coun- try will be the penalty of failure. “In the wisdom and firmness of Mr. Bu- chanan we have implicit confidence. But the fidelity of the party must be equal to the abil- ity of the leader. To succeed in his arduous enterprise he must have the zealous support of the united Democracy. “The journals in the interest of the Black Republican party appreéiate the embarrass- ments of Mr. Buchanan's position They un- derstand the conditions of his success. They know that the integrity cf the Democracy is necessary, above ull things, to the triumph of the incoming Administration. Hence their artful attempt to cow distrust between the two sections of the party—an enterprise to which the Herald devotes itself with indefatigable assiduity. Hence the absurd story of the as- eendency of violent counsels among the De- mocracy of the South. “The Charleston Mercury and the Now Ur- leans Delta are in no sense party papers, ard in their discussicn of political matters they allow themselves a latitude which is limited ouly by their own ideas of consistency and duty. But they are conducted with very re markable ability, and with the truest and mostenlightened regard to the interests of the South. We are surprised, therefore, that though they may care nothing for the exigen cies of party, they do not see how effectively they aid the cause of Black Republicanism in repelling the sympathies of the Northern De- mocracy and betraying a distrust of the ir- coming Administration. Why despair, in ad- vance, of Mr. Buchanan’s ability to shield the Suuth from aggression, at least during the term of his Presidency ? prescribe a policy to him which in the nature of things he cannot undertake? This prophecy of evil contributes to the fulfilment of its own fore < 2 a boding; and these extravagant lations least, it Will be administered wholly on those | oan only end in disappointment. Meanwhile, terms; that all its power will be exerted to | however, they animate the hopes of the ene- mies of the South, and depress the spirit of our Northern allies. Can we gain any ad- vantage fur the common cause, by betraying an inordivate ambition, and by tendering our support to Mr. Buchanan on impossible con- ditions? Do wenot run the hazard of alienat- ing hia confidence and losing the influence of his Administration? “Tn the Cincinnati Convention Mr. Buchan- an was not the first choice of a majority of the Southern Democracy. But his nomination was accepted with satisfaction, and he was supported in the South with unexampled una- nimity. Both the Delta and Mercury aided in his election, and why? Not, certainly, be- cause it was expected that Mr. Buchanan would come up to the full measure of our wants and demands. Woanticipated no such thing, and hence the opposition to his nomi- nation in the first instance He was support- ed by those who are stigmatized as the ‘ex- tremists’ cf the South because of the probity of his personal character, his ability in ad ministration, and the well-attested fairness and friendliness of his disposition towards the South. He received the almost unanimors vote of the South, without which his election would have been an impossible achievement He is, therefore, in some sort, the President of the South—not in a sectional sense, but in the sense that he owes his election chiofly tu the support of theSouth. Why, then, should any Southern man anticipate his administration with distrust? He was-elected under plodges (implied in the principles of the platform) which we all accepted as satisfactory in the progress of the canvass; and as these pledges were in harmony with his antecedents, and with the spirit of the Northern Democracy, there is no reason to apprehend their viola- tion. In any event, it will be time enough to suspect Mr. Buchanan and to oppose bis Ad- ministration, when he discovers, by some un- equivocal act of bad faith, that he dees not deserve the confidence and support of the Sonth. “The South cccupies a precarious position in the confederacy, and to sustain herself she has need of every artificial support. Pru dence should be the predominant priciple of her statesmanship while she is content to re- main in the Union In the North there is a party well-affected to her interests. The Pres- ident elect is pledged to protect her rights. For ourselves wo find, independently of the obligations of party, abundant reason to soli- cit the alliance of the Northern Democracy, and the influence of the Federal Executive. Such being the case we would strengtben ra ther than destroy the integrity of the Demo- eratic organization; so that when the final conflict comes (if come it must,) the South msy not find herself utterly friendless and alone, Such being the case we mean to support Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, in the confident belief that the South will never regret her agency in his election. Will not our friends of the Delta and Mercury announce the same resolution ?

On the South there rests, on the other hand, the duty of strengthening that policy of the Government, by discountenanc- ing any and all concerted viclztions of law and vested rights, on the integrity of which her fatare inthe Union hangs suspended, as we explain above. She bas no more right to ask the Government to countenance infractions of the rights of nations, than abolitionism has to seek to enlist it (the Government) in an on- slaught on her rights. The principle is the #am> in both cases, and it is as a Southerner, keenly alive to the danger to the South in- volved in the gradual growth of abolition readings of the powers and duties of the Gen- eral Government, that we have steadily set our face sgainst the principle of fillibustering. But the developments made in the course of the controversy to which we refer above, indi- cate unmistakably, we think, that Walker is well nigh at the end of his tether. Le is, evidently, utterly without money, native sym- pathy, or very efficient North American troops ; and, besides, is penned up in Grana- da, (which city he has been compelled to for- tify.) so that it is very questionable whether he can receive any further supplies of food for Nicaraguan-fever grave yards from the great cities of the North. And, besides, there is now evidently wide-spread enmity towards him and his plang in the breasts of a large portion of his lately deluded followers. As far as we can perceive, he will receive no countenance whatever from the Government here, which is evidently now more than ever indispoezed to become involved in his schemes and acts on and in Central America. ” An Important and Interesting Mavifesto. Below, the reader will find an article from the Richmond Lngu:rer of Saturday last. From its tone and varioua other ciroum- stances connected with it, we feel warranted in the judgment that it was prepared with the immediate sanction of Mr. Buchanan, himself. At any rate, it places him in a posi- tion with which all considerate Southern m-mbers of the Demceratic party will not fal; to be satiefied. In the only position, indeed, in which the power of his administration can bo effective for the successful protection of the rights cf the South in the Union. That can- not be done by its identification with the plans or views of those who desire to have the Ex ecutive branch of the Government adopt sec- tional policies which have not been incorpo- rated into the political faith of any portion of the Democracy of the Union, and are held dis- tinctly, by those who do hold them, as views e.trely indepenudest of party politics.

The Cleavclander, a bogus American paper, published at Cleveland, Ohio, has collapsed— given up the ghost. The official vote of Ohio for President stands : Fremont 187,497; Buchanan 170,874; Fillmore 23,125; Gerritt Smith 156. A man was knocked down in a railroad car, recently, in Utica, for insisting on “ taking the sense of the company”’ present in regard to the Presidential question of 1860. Tho Cincinnati Enyuirer is guilty of the following : ‘The New York Tribune heads the state ment of its subscription list in different States and counties as follows * Arrica, 25 cores.’ ‘It is not surprising that the Tribune has some circulation in Africa, as that paper is more decidedly African in its political senti- ments than it is American.” Scruggs, of the Warrenton Whig, while taking the election of Buchanan very coolly, Proposes to collect his little winnings on Mary- oe before starting for Salt River.
