It is, however, on a par with their other practices since they got into office, and corresponds exactly with their Galphinism, and land speculations in Califor- riaand New Mexico, as well as their efiorts to keep open the slavery agitation, for their own private political ends, Such, then, is the character of the members of the cabinet, which General Taylor, unfortunately for the interests of the country, as well as for his own popularity and reputation, selected as his con- stitutional advisers. While he, in the honesty of | his heart and in the fullness of his patriotism, is re- posing in the confidence that his cabinet are deing right, they are using the influence of their office, and bringing the administration into disrepute by their machinations, to subserve their own political } and private ends. Itisto be hoped the time will come when justice will be meted out to them, and when they will receive the denunciation due to their faithlessness to the responsibility confided to | them by the patriotic old General Taylor. Such, too, is the position of the Cuba question, and our | relations with Spain, which may end in an open rupture with that country, at a time when the con- federacy is like a house divided against itself on the slavery agitation, which would have long since been settled, but for the su ful eflorts of the cabinet to keep it open for their own private ends, without caring @ groat whether it ended in a dissolution of this powerful republic | Tur Rient ov Srancn | Ton.—Mr. Cass has introduced a resol | Senate of the United States, with respe | recent visitation, ia Southern waters, by one of | on in the to the Without ano the courts. but would be useless ; ortant result to be in the future, through opening a friendly alliance with Turkey, the trouble is of litle consi deration, compared with the end to be gained.

We have only broken ice, as yet, upon this sub- ject. There is a deep and running stream beneath, which must be examined with every cate and | coution. Itis no part of the policy of this country to meke war, or to disturb these friendly relatioas with foreign powers which it is our deepest inserest to consult for the happiness of mankind. The ultimate blessings of a great nation, however, can only be seeured by a jealous supervision of that character, dignity and elevation, which place us in the rank ef powerful nations, and by a determina. tion to maintain the means of that position, by resisting encroachments, ‘The right of seare! | insisted upon by Great Britain, must lead iaevitably | to the destruction of the peace of nations.
