and anxiety,
The energetic and successful action Of
the President of the United States in vim
dicating the law, his promptness in sup
pressing illegal military expeditions against
a neighborng state, 'begun'' and ''set on
foot" in defiance OF positive statute and
the obligations of solemn treaties; the
alacrity with which he coerced the sur
render of an individual believed to have
been kidnapped from our shore; and the
readiness he has evinced in repelling in
suit as well as redressing wrong-have i'm
paired the efficacy of the party jibes
which were lately rife in the columns of
the Opposition press. They do not now
confne their attacks to denunciations of
General TAYLoR's inefticiency. He is no
longer "dolt," a "cypher," an ''imbe-
Gle. " We find him nowadays occasion
ally figuring, in the rhetoric of the Loco
iocos, as "usurper," as one who has
selzed upon the functions of the judiciary,
as grasping all the powers of all the de-
partments OF government. He is now
thought to have been little too harsh in
his method of bringing Rey back to the
United States, safe and sound; and quite
too efficient in breaking up expeditions
got up in violation of law and the plighted
faith of the nation.
The "sole organ" pitches its objurgations
full two octaves higher than the rest 1t
had piped its bass notes hoarse, and now
pierces the dull air with its complaining
treble. According to the Union, the Pre-
sident it derided as an imbecile is more
energetic than the law allows. He exc
cutes the duties of his office in way to
make fomenters of discord, the projectors
Of expeditions destructive to the peace
and violative of the faith Of the nation,
their alders, abettors, apologists, and
supporters, absolutely solicitous for the
integrity of the Constitution and the per-
petuity of our liberties.
What pity it is he did not permit Rey
to be shot on the public square of Havana;
and the expedition against Cuba to rush
into the jaws of destruction What a
scheme of vengeance has been frustrated,
what a fountain of agitation has been
dried up! 1t is hard case; and unless
the sense of security which these proceed
ings have excited in the minds of those
who live by their labor and upon the fruits
OF honest toll compensate for the disap-
pointment of professional agitations, the
balance will be in favor of the grumblers.
When the Union intimated two DAYS
ago that one or both of the editors of this
paper were Wilmot provisoists, we gave it
week to develope its whole purpose
fully. 1t is its habit first to invent ru-
NOR, which in day or two warns into a
suspicion, and out of this il presently
matches round, plump, fat lie. In the
present case the exigencies of the times
did not admit of so slow process of in
cubation. 1t dressed up in extra feathers,
and now IT learns that one of the editors
OF this paper is Wilmot proviso man,
and that the other is provisoist and an
Abolitonst to boot.

Berlin correspondent, Of The New York
Commercial Advertiser thus describes an
improvement in the muskei. which has
lately been made in Prussia:
The mnsket has no lock and is loaded

is long and cone shaped, rounded At The
big end. The barrel is slightly Iifed, but
the grooves are perfectly straight, and moi

consequently thrown much greater dis
