The Peace Administration.

luC i CdCC HuNliIINlTdIlUn'
The Indian war which broke out in Tex
as-another at Santa Fe-another in Flor
ida-another in Missouri, all caused by
the failure of the Administration to fur
nish the right kind of troops for the pro-
lection of the frontiers, are all to be trac-
ed to the laundering effects Of this peace (?)
Administration.
But few weeks since the country was
startled by the announcement that fleet
of war vessels had been sent to Cuba, to
demand the surrender of Spaniard, said
to have been kidnapped from New Or
leans; under the threat Of blowing Moro
Castle into mid air, and sinking the Island
to the bottom Of the Mexican Gulf, and
now we have the intelligence that another
fleet of armed vessels has been ordered to
Tunis to force the Bey to disgorge small
sum due former Consul of the United
States, in dicker about house rent.
Between the United States and France
all intercourse has been suspended, as the
eastern papers of all parties charge, in
consequence of difficulty in relation to
the admission of female into the society
Of the supper crust" at Washington, and
serious and threatening correspondence
has been going on between Secretary
Clayton and the British Charge d'Affaires
at Washington, in regard to the rig ght of
running Canal across what is claimed
by Eng gland to be the Mosquito Kingdom,
in South America, so as to connect the
two oceans.
Truly this Peace Administration is get
ting its hands full The Cabinet refused
to recognise the Roman republic, to please
France-it refused to allow the German
Republic to take from the waters OF the
United States, vessel it had purchased,
unless bonds were first given that it should
not be used in the war with which the Re-
public was then engaged-it refused to
recognise the existence of the Hungarian
Republic, at the time when that recog-
milton might have saved it from being
crushed by Austria and Russia, because
it might offend M Bodisco, the Russian
Minister, and finally, after bullying and
threatening Spain, and ordering fleet to
the Island of Cuba, it .fz=les out, and or
ders the fleet to Round Island, to watch a
few American citizens there. to prevent
them from aiding the Spaniards at Havana
in Revolution to throw off the Spanish
yoke.
Since the quarrel between M. Poussin
and the Cabinet, about invitations to the
soirees at Washington, the Administl alton
has become so terribly anti-French, that,
had it to do over again, we presume the
Roman Republic would be recognised, but
unfortunately it has been put down by the
bayonets of the French Army, and now
war is to be kicked up about Salcage and
Tobacco, for want ofbetter materials, mere
ly to show the peace loving spirit of Gen.
Taylor, and to enable designing men to
make fortunes by specializing in Govern.
ment Stocks, which are now gradually
sinking, under the warlke attitude assum-
ed by the powers that be, at Washington.
With England, the difficulty assumes
shape more threatening. The cores
pondence in relation to the attitude assum-
ed by England, is characterized as threat.
ening the peace Of the two countries, and
stocks are again tumbling down, and spec
ulators in the fancies, are reaping rich
harvest from the fears of the timid. What
the upshot of the affair will be, we know
not, but this much we do-know, that the
laundering of the Administration has al
ready involved us in several Indian wars
and has come near plunging us in wa
with England, France, Spain and Tunis
So much for the "Peace Administration!'
WAR WHIGS, NOW RUSH TO THE POLLS
each one with speech of Tom Corwil
in his hands and declare that you alway
were for war--that you are the real bunk
um war party-and that you go for fight
ing the whole world at once! peac
Administration?-O Statesman.
