struggling liberty, were preparing ior the
scene of action, to take part in the conflict
MANY of them had already gone. Mr..
MONROE, though he felt as deep an inter
est in the success of the Republican IN
sureents as any true-hearted American
ever did, brought the matter before Con-
gress as an infraction of the laws of neu-
trality and of nations, and the act was
passed. II is an interesting part OF the
history Of those times, which may bear
upon the present case, that Mr.. MONROE,
in his message, noticed the fact that YES
sells had taken on board as passengers
citizens of the United States, who, on their
arrival at neutral port, assumed the char
acter Of officers andsoldiers in the conflicts
then pending in Spanish America. The
law was passed to cover so extreme case
as this. How much more forcibly does it
apply to expeditions designed to foment or
to assist in exciting revolutionary out
breaks!
We have quoted the law applicable to
the case; we shall now inquire into the pow
err of the President in the premises. The
eighth section of the law cited authorizes
s'the President of the United States, or
such other person as he shall empower for
6 that purpose, to employ such part of the
6 land or napal forces of the United States,
or the militia thereof" in ''preven:ing the
carrying on of any such expedition or en-
terprise from the territories or jurisdiction
of the United States, against the terrific
ries OF dominions of any foreign prince
{ or State, or of any colony, district, or peo-
8 pie, with whom the United States are at
peace"
Assuming for fact, what cannot be de-
MED, that the assemblage at Round Island
was part of military organization, or
the beginning Of one, against the domin-
ions or colony Of foreign prince or State
at peace with the United States, the Pres
ident, or any one who might be selected
by him for that purpose, had the right to
employ the land and naval forces, and the
militia of the United States, in thwart-
ing it.
In discussing a matter of such grave i'm
portance, our contemporaries of New Or
leans, we think, leave the substance for
the shadow, when they make criticism of
the style of Commander Randolph's pub
LEGATION part of their objections to his
proceedings. We shall not dispute the
point of taste with them, nor do we know
exactly the purport of his instructions.
But this we do know-General TAYLOR is
not apt to do things by halves; and we
have no doubt our naval officers in the Gulf
as elsewhere had sufficient powers granted
them to accomplish their object, when they
became satisfied that an unlawful enter
prise was on foot General TAYLOR con-
ceives it to be as much part of his duty
to preserve the neutral and international
rights of the country as any others; and
the people may rest assured that he will
perform it-not as an imbecile, nor yet as
despot-but as the President of free
people-the Chief Magistrate of Repub-
lie; removed by its strength, its justice,
and power, as far from the ambition to
wrong other States, as from the pusillan-
unity which tolerates wrong from them.

GARCIA on REy-La Cr6nica of New York states
that when the proclamation of the President Of the
United States reached Havana, the captain gene
raj was acquainted with all the details Of the
petition. II Is said that the revelations Of the
'Jaller, Garcia, were 80 important TO win from
hiln pardon before conviction, (anticipacion de
induto) This was, doubtless, the cause Of the
opposition made to it. Il IL certain that Garcia
asked permission of the captain. general To return
% New Orleans, to justify completely the Consul
Don Carlos de Espana.
Up " the 9th no step to produce alarm had
been taken. Bodies Of troops about TO move
from Havana TO the south Of the island without
any other motives than those which the proclama-
ton OF President Taylor suggested; and although
no lear vac entertained all we're preparing with
the serenity Inspired by justice and force. Steam
ships Of war and merchant vessels were prepared
70 take troops on board at the first movement and
large bodies Of horse ready TO scour the coun.
try in every direction"
paragraph in the leading article, however,
states with some severity, that prison is the natu-
raj abode Of Garcia" If so, what can be the moral
value Of the revelations he said 10 haze made to the
captain general?

AS the complexion of
THE next House of Repre-
sentatiyes may possibly
depend upon the result of
THE election in Maryland,
1.-THE Cabinet of the Presi-
dent, who was, before his
election, determined to
leave every thing to the
free and unbought will of
1.-THE people, have come to
1.-THE conclusion to make a
] most desperate effort to
carry the election in favor
! of the Administration
] Hence, they haze again
called to their aid the SER
,Ipices Of their iinscruptilous
and undertaking tool, Iru-
,Imdn Smith. He has al
ready again appeared up
ION this theatre of his oper-
cations and his disgrace.
Without the least sense of
,lshame, after his Infamous
llattempt to corrupt the
ballot box in Indiana, by
secretly offering the peo-
IIple Offices as brides for
,ltheir votes, he has the van
,|ity and the assurance to
lIimagine that he can still
laid the cause Of his employ
ers, the Cabinet, by his low
tricks and unprincipled
Iintrigues. Therefore, he
has concluded to make
one more experiment up
! ION the elections of Mary
land and Pennsylvania,
and is now here for that
purpose. As he hesitates
at no means, however
corrupt or dishonorable,
|he will make free use of
THE corruption fund under
THE charge of the Rough
and Ready Club of this
lefty, to influence the
congressional elections in
Maryland. And we there
fore apprize our friends in
THAT State, of the enemy
they have to meet, and the
mode of warfare by which
he will assail them. We
caution them to be on the
alert, TO organize their
party thoroughly, and to
be sure and run candi-
dates in eUry district, in
order to prevent the trans
fer of voters from the
strong Wing to the Dem
ocratic districts. IL they
thoroughly organize, and
devote all their energies
TO the cause, they cannot
fail to win a victory wor-
thy of the old Maryland
Line. We knotc the in
reference Of the Cabinet in
elections is abominable, and
should be sternly rebtiked
by the people. But what
can be more humiliating
and Notifying than to
have such a man as Tru-
man Smith, a citizen of
Connecticut, who has no
reputation except for low
cunning and corrupt in
trigue-toh0 thinks 10 the
honor TO be used as
the degraded instrument by
trhich the bdilof-bor is cor
rupted, and the people cheat
ed out Of their poice at cleo
lions; toe say toi,dt can be
more h,imiiiating and NOR
Itypng than TO hare the
Cabinet employ such a tool
to stiperintend and manage
The local elections of a sore

pie ofall parties in Mary

Insensible TO shame.

We once heard a dis
tinguished orator from
the south commence an
impassioned harangue,
in the House of Repre-
sentatives, with the alb
rupt and bold exordium,
/" Born insensible to fear, y
&c. These words will
not exactly apply to Mr..
Truman Smith, the no
torious Senator from Con
necticut. fit cannot be
affirmed Of him that he
was born insensible to
fear, il certainly can be
that he was born nsensi-
bic to shame. After the
exposure of his machina-
tons in the elections
which recently occurred
in the south and west, The
Cabinet, anticipating thai
such reckless and ,inprin-
cipled interference ,pith The
peoples sufrages as thai
Of ,ohich Smith ,oas guilt,
,oO,lld recoiI upon the ad-
minisfrdtion, authorised
their organ to inform The
public that they had nc
connerion tohateuer tciM
Smiths operations, and
publicly disapoioed them.
In short, the Cabinet, pub
hciy, through the Republic,
reptudiated both Smith and
his operations, and thus
disgraced him, If such a
thing inere possible. Now,
what would a man of ele-
waited sentiments and SEN
sitive honor have done
under such circumstan-
ces? Most assuredly he
would have Indignantly
repealed the insult, and
turned his back upon an
administration that thus
publicly disgraced him.
But not 80 with Truman
Smith. He bore this open
and insolent indignity,
under which most men
would have felt wounded
TO the quick, and would
have hung their heads in
shame and modification,
with all the tameness OF
a spaniel under the kick
Of his master; and he still
continued his services in
the cause of the Cabinet
with as much zeal as
ever. Is it strange that
such a man, thus insensi-
bic not only to shame,
but to disgrace, should
engage in the most profit
gate and corrupt at
tempts to influence the
elections ?
