that part of the Gulf Squadron has been ordered
to the Havana to demand the body of Rey, and the
NewYork papers state that Commodore Parker has
been ordered there to make the demand. We do

making more of the whole affair than it deserves.

to be alarmed lest we are ourselves getting nearer

Mr.. LARUEs SPEECH.--We give in another col
umn part Of Mr.. Larues speech in the Rsy case,
which has attracted so much attention here as else
where. Mr.. Larue has been 50 lately and so inti-
mately connected with US, that we feel some deli
cacy in speaking Of his argument as its merits de-
mand, and as our own feelings prompt. Even in
the full report which we give this morning it is
impossible to appreciate the whole force of the
speech as delivered on Saturday evening. The
report cannot supply the earnest and impassioned
manner, the tones, at times low and suppressed at
others bursting with Indignation and sarcasm,
which made the spoken argument more powerful
ndconvlncing than any written argument can be-

The NExT CoNGREss The reports of demo-
cratic gains in Tennessee have given the demo-
cratic party high hopes of carrying majority in
the next House Of Representative It will be GER
tainly very close oount-probably the admitted
political free sOers may hold the balance of power
although on the naked free soil question there
will be very large majority The democrats, to
make out their majority, are counting on gains in
Indiana. We have been looking into the papers of
that State, and shall be surprised if there be any
gain. In the disputable districts the free soil organ
ization has hurtthe democrats, and the wings have
been very adroit in securing the benefit to them
selves. We would not advise our democratic
friends to be too sanguine of Indiana-that is, in
the election TO Congress. In the Governors cleo
ton there are three candidates, and the democrat
is likely to be elected. Such are our impressions.
bat few days will enable us to know how these
things have worked there. The election took place
on the same day as that in Alabama, and returns
ought to come in now very soon.
A majority in the House of Representatives is
not, however, very desirable, in the party sense,
to the democrats. They have the Senate, where
their peculiar policy can protect itself against any
acts Of aggression from the other side, or from the
Executive, and they need have no alarm for the
power Of the House in the hands Of the wings.
With no legislative organs through which it can
avow its policy and advance its plans, and with
both Houses in political opposition to it, the Adj
ministration will be relieved from the responsible
ties Of legislation, and its adversaries lose all the
advantage of definite issues. The controlling party
in Congress will be held responsible for its legisla-
tuon, and instead of being the assaling party, will
be on the defensive ALI the time.
The President can onlV be reached bv indirections
and on. Prescriptions We speak, of course, only
in reference party tactics, as the whole question
seems to be taken up of party. Inthat sense,
the control Of the House, valuable as a sign of
popular support, and for the more harmonious work
ing of the law-making power, is more likely to en-
barrass than to strengthen the opposition.

important news brought by the steamer

1t was anticipated tina. either the Ausriars

Oily fell back. Three successive battles en-
sued. In the two latter, on the plains Of
VerelII, the Auslrians were completely vic

main army of the Ausrians, some $4,000
strong. encountered Charles Albert at Olan-

To Lave been of more than equal force. The
battle was fought with terrible obsiinacy;
and although we hear from many quarters
that the Italians shrunk from the contest,
certain ii is tha, Charles Albert behaved
with the most distinguished bravery.
Finding the day going against him, he
seems to have sought every opportunity to
meet his death on the battle field; and what
fever may be the verdict of history as 10 his
past conduct, certain it is that nothing graz
ccd his public life so much as his last act
and his quitting it. The Auslrians having

IL The Wisconsin Argus feictaes itself with
the idea, that Inasmuch as the late union meeting
at Madison, in declaring that limit should be pa-
ced 10 the amount of land which an individual may
possess at any one time, did not particularly desg-
nate where that limit should be, that the declara-
ton amounted 10 nothing and the anti.land refor-
mers would .ose nothing by supporting it. This,
we think, is great mistake. According TO our
view of it, the land mitationists in procuring the
declaration they did from the meeting. gained vc-
ry unprecedented the first and most important
step-in the accomplishment OF the work. The
10 Inc contrary, the limit may be all that man
can acquire and pay for With all due Difference
TO the opinions of the venerable antiquary who con-
trolls the abstract department OF the Argus we sup,
posed the contest was on that very point and hat
IN the declaration made by the meeting, the prn.
clple Of land limitation was triumphant. There is
certainly no limitation in the idea that man NAV
hold all ne can acquire and pay for, and yet the
meeting declared that a limit should be placed to
the amount which an individual might acquire and
hold.
So far as any specific limitation is concerned, we
are not aware that those who are known peculiarly
as land relormer3 united in opinion on the SUBJ
jcct The are agreed, however in the principle,
that 1t is right TO limit, and that limit should be
somewhere placed, and as this is what the meeting
declared it really declared all for which tie land
limitaonsts contend. Indeed, there can be no
such thing as fixed and permanent Limitation OF
the amount OF land which an individual may hold :;
for circumstance alone can control the matter. A
may hold more land here thar he would be
justified in holding in Ireland, and lie may hold
more here than he would lie justified in holding
when the population becomes more dense Doubt
less foo, with The increase of population, there will
be growth Of intelligence and development OF
arts and sciences, so that an acre OF land can be
made TO yield two OF three times as much as at
present, and of course the same extended limits will
not be necessary. AT the present time, the evils
suffered in this western country, arise less from the
fact that land is held in large quantities. than that
it is held by non residents who refuse to either sell
or cultivate it, and at the present time a ldw rene
dying this evil, would perhaps be all that is requ-
red. The great point is, TO establish the principle
that it is right to limit and then it will be easy to
fix those limits as the best interests of society shall
from time to time dictate. This meeting did all il
could to propagate this principle in the public mind
which is all that the most ardent land reformer
could at this time expect or desire.
