From the National Crisis.

1t is utterly impossible to keep pace
with the numerous speeches and docu
ments on the subject Of the Panama Mis-
sion. Congress seem TO be engaged in
no other business. The papers from
Washington are filled with speeches,
and we have the consoling intelligence
that a-number OF gentlemen are yet walt
ing 10 be heard ! This and the amend
ment of the Constitution will most pro-
badly consume the remainder OF the SEES
sion. Il II other subjects will be pos,
.poned by the violence and o5Stinacy o.
an Incorporate and causeless opposl
ton.
Ii is amusing to witness the conduct Of
some OF our public. journals on This sub
ject. We speak OF papers In The OPP
position; those which assume 10 be light,
and guides Of the people, and to preac
the pure doctrine OF repubiicanism. No,
one OF these papers twelve months ago
would have counlenanced for a moment
the principles they now SO warmly es-
pouse. The South American States
were then sister Republics; they were
entitled to our high consideration ano
respect. They had fought for freedom.
and the rights Of man, and when Mr..
Monroe intimated that IL sovernmens
would not suffer the Europeans to inter
fere with their liberties, the sentimen
was responded with acclamations of ap-
plause from every press in the Union !!
But how changed are The notes OF many
OF these ardent republicans-,bese cla-
morous supporters OF the independence
Of Southern America The very mo-
ment those states are in condition to
act for themselves, and invite our friend
'ly counsel and the aid of our experience
in the institution of republican govern
ment. their very good friends on this
side the lsthmus, are deaf to the propo-
sal and are determined to be off! UD-
der Mr. Monroe the sentiment was uni
versal, that the United States would not
suffer the independence of South Anne
RIGA to be disturbed by the powers OF
Europe. Under Mr.. adams, compli.
ance with friendly invitation to be pre-.
sent at meeting to discuss subjects
purely republican and relating solely to
those states, not compromising our neu-
trality and connection with other powers,
is thought TO be dangerous Thus have
our good, honest, and fearless, and as
some think, exclusive republicans chang.
Ell their position. They would even
tight for the Southern Republics at Mr..
Monroe's bidding but nothing must be
done if dictated by Mr.. Adams-even
friendly intercourse established by him,
IS full Of danger, wickedness, and cor
rnp'ion !! Who does no, see that all this
uproar and cry of danger is deceitful and
hollow-hearted And who does not be.
liese that Mr.. Adams, if he had refused
the invitation to Panama, would have
been hunted down by the same hack IS
cold biooded aristocrat. as hater Of Re-
hubiics, as a nonarcbiSt!
L is perfectly plain 10 every candid
and unprejudiced mind, that the opposi-
ton IS not to the measure, but to the ad-
minis,ration. II is an opposition as un-
pripcipled as it is detrimental TO the re-
putation and best interests of the coun-
try. 1t is one we are confident which
The people will never countenance nor
support.
