EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY... May ba) 1857 SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PR The 1'»:0n officially announces the rejection of the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, saying : Despatehes were received from the American Minister at London, by the Last Liverpool steamer, advising our government of the rejection by the tritish yevernment of the Dallas-Clarendon y.as amended and — by the Senate of ted States at the late extra session. The mer will probably bring the official cor- We felt assured yes'erday that the Govern- ment here had net at noon come to the conclu- on that its London dispatehes by the last Liv- erpool steamer embraced information that Pal- merston had absolutely and unconditionally closed the door to the consummation of the Dal- las-Clarendon treaty. This opinion proves to have been erroneous, though based on reasons such as have generally guided the Star correctly in similar matters, wherein other presses seek- ing to be very pr ympt in the promulgation of such news. are prone to make mistakes.

Yet it can hardly be that they will fail to keep this Goy- ernment in very hot water for some time to come; requiring all the experience, energy, ° so thoroughly tried and proved pa ism of President Buchanan and Secretary Cass to preserve ‘the present friendly rela- tions of the two countries." Among the most serious obstacles tw the success of the efforts they will be called on to make to seeere our country’s rights without disturbing those so desirable relations—a very difficult task, even if not thus embarrassed—will surely be the in- termeddling of the wonder-mongering press of this country, in publishing a multitade of roor- backs concerning our relations with Britain, designed. apparently, to make a breach be- tween the two Gorernments, 2nd then to widen Eut for such publications on the part of the wonder-mengers hostile to a peaceful policy on the part of the (iovernment of the United States, we apprehend that England would have given ue far less trouble in the Enlistment imbroglio. In that affair. she was first goaded thus by that portion of the American press into occupying untenable positions, and then cheated tempo- rarily into the idea that she could continue to occupy them to the end, by the assaults of sach American presses on the late Administration, because, forsooth, it selected to be governed by well-balanced counsels in its negotiations. rather than to tickle the extremest fancy of the ex- tremest manifest-destiny men. The end proved not only the wisdom of thedeliberation with whieh President Pierce and Seeretary Marcy eondueted their share of the controversy, but also the mischievous tendency of fast newspaper diplomacy.
