The Opposition organ announces the downfall OF
the Administration, and, taking the falsehood for
granted il remarks, il becomes a matter of curious
interest to inquire how this extraordinary result has
been effected.
We naturally felt some interest to learn ,ohat had
been the cause of result extraordinary, and
read on, ad nauseam, with expectation of hav-
ing our curiosity gratifed least, reasonable
degree. Instead Of this, however, we were served
with the same tissue of stale and re- echoed COM
mon places which have numbered the columns of
this press during the long months which have trans
pired since the glorious day of the Inauguration.
Iii the same old song, played in the screech
ing key, upon the same cracked organ, and ground
by the same old market woman, having for her
theme the Identical old basket of broken eggs over
which she rechants her dolorous music. There she
sits by the way side, unheeded because of the eter-
nal monotony Of her twang-a mock Niobe, all
tears. She resiss the entrcaties of her friends to
go home, and still persists in uttering her silly and
trivial plaints that, by her stupidity and stub
bornness, she has at length forfeited the sympathy
of her friends. Broken pledges, regency, control
of the Government, guilty, opinions sake, pro-
scripton, false pretences, Democratic party, war,
hired murderer, journeyman throat-cutter, bloody
hands, treason, blood, poor men, despotsm, ina-
NOUS, hunting down, turpitude, imbecility, igno-
minious, Democracy--these form the worn out ma
terial composing the burden and chorus of the
monotonous strain. Its caption-"Downfall of the
Administration would answer Just as well, and
prove appropriate at the head of any of the pre-
vous strains which have issued from the same or
gan upon its favorite theme; and, considering the
saving in time and labor, it is queer that the ''vg-
orcus minds" of the Opposition did not have its
first song, which was the "cue motel to Tray,
Blanche and Sweetheart, stereotyped, with the ex-
ception of the caption, which could have been raised
and prefxed TO suit the peculiar mood by which the
vigorous minds, !" from time to time might have
been actuated whether by the melancholy mood,
the angry mood, the supplcatory mood the depre-
catory mood, or, last of ALL and least of all the he
roic mood So much for the sDownfall of the Adj
minstraton"-that matter of SO curious interest to
the Opposition to ncite the inquiry, ho,c so ex-
traordinary result has been effected. But,
riously, this vamping stale editorial ola podrida
by placing merely name to the old thing,
and then palmingi it upon the innocently credulous
a solution of the extraordinary result" ra-
Their needless operation even for heroism it was,
indeed, palrning "the trick that lost the game

WAsHrsaros HOSE CompANy.-This visiting
fire company from Philadelphia, whose brilliant
reception we noted yesterday, devoted that day,
under the escort of a committee of the Persever-
ance Fire Company, TO review OF the public
buildings and grounds. They visited the Patent
Office where they expressed themselves much
gratified with the exhibition of American mechan-
ISM and the collection of articles Of uetu and sub
jects of curiosity in the National Museum.
From thence they were escorted to the Smithso-
MAN Institution thence to the United States Pen-
tentiary and from there to the Washington
Arsenal At the penitentiary, through the kind
ness Of the warden, Mr.. Fitnam, they were treated
to a bounteous collation..
Upon their return to quarters, after these visits
were concluded, sumptuous entertainment was
set out at Kings TO the escort Of the Howard Com
pany, Of Baltimore, who about to leave in the
5 O'Clock train. After il wns despatched, they
were escorted to the cars by a number VI our fire.
men and citizens, who regretted that their stay
among should be so short
CoRREcrIoN-In our notice of the arrival of the
visiting firemen yesterday, we mentioned the name
of Mr. Miller as President of the Howard Fire
Company and in charge Of the escort of the Phia-
delphians 1t should have been Captain John
Marshall.
MILITARY.-The Walker Sharpshooters, Captain
Bryant, and National Greys, Capt. Bacon, left the
city yesterday afternoon, by the cars, on trip te
Baltimore. Their appearance on the march was
very soldierly and we have no doubt they will wei
sustain the good character of our volunteers in tho
monumental city. The Greys had with them 8
portion of the Marine band, while the Sharpshoot
ers had band, apparently of their own company
as they wore the same uniform.
SERENADEns.-The Mayor of Washington, Col
Seaton, and Mr.. Gideon, President Of the Perse
verance Fire Company, were complmented with 9
delightful serenade on Monday night, by the ex
celent band of music under the leadership Of Mr.
Freeman, now with US, accompanying the Wash
ington Hose company of Philadelphia.
HoGs.-Mr Dow, at the meeting Of the City
Council on Monday evening, presented an ukase
which bids fair to become law, preventing the
keeping of swine within the limits of the city
Some think the author of the proposition rash
man, as the population of the outskirts go strong
for hogdom, and any Infringement of their rights
in this respect will be visited by their porcal ndig
nation. We are no Jew, and go for the rights o
Porkdom even if it is the "Heroic Age"

General Taylor ana nast0nsI Honor.
The conduct Of President Taylor IN demanding
of the authorities Of Cuba the immediate release
Of Juan Rey otherwise Garcia, who was forcibly
abducted from New Orleans through the agency Of
the Spanish consul there, viii meet the hearty APP
probation Of every true American. General Tay
lor is man of peace-has desire To steal any of
the territory of Spain Mexico but he has every
disposition TO protect the hunaDlest person upon
American soil, who seeks for safety under the
American flag. The moment he became satisfied
Of the outrage at New Orleans, and the transport-
ton of Garcia TO Havana he directed the Secretary
Of State TO order our consul there to make per-
emptory demand for the release of the prisoner
and after little hesitation the surrender was made
and Garcia was brought back TO the United States
No fQreign power will venture to trile with Gen
era Taylor. They all understand his charac ter and
know that while he will tolerate no outrages upon
them, or their rights, by American citizens--he
Will, at all hazards defend the honor and interests
OF the people over whose government he presides
There will be no party war under his adIninistra-
tion. II a war should occur, it will be such
as VIII call forth the approval, as well the united
thieving war, but contest for rights well defined
and well understood by every intelligent mansand
woman in the country. Had the Cuba authorities
refused to surrender Garcia, and Spain sanctioned
the refusal, would have been inevitable, and it
would have been manfuly declared, and vigorously
carried on, until full redress obtained.
Party brawlers may assail General Taylor for
allowing the Wings 10 fill various Offices, which the
LocofOcos have claimed theirs by inheritance
and they may abuse him for his inability to speak
like practical orator--but in all those matters
which concern the welfare of the republic, and in
which the people take deep interest," they will find
him wise in counsel as h is brave and energetic
in actiontrue to the honor and interests of the re-
public, as was the Father of his country, whose
glorious example he desires 10 initiate.

The Cuba Hunt.

The expedition TO Cuba, called generally the
"Cuba Hunt" seems about 10 be blown sky high
by the interference of the authorities New York,
who have caused three steamers, laden partly with
arms and ammunition, TO be seized, upon the
ground that the arms, &c, TO be used in I'M
lawful enterprises; and five or six persons have
been arrested. II is well, perhaps for the hunters
that this has been DONE il may save them from
being shot or hung in bad cause; and certainly
many of them might engage more proftably and
more creditsbly in less equivocal undertakings.
We expect our Government to demand and 10
get from the Spanish Government plenary salts
faction for the insult offered TO the country in the
abdue ton Of Garcia should il turn out that he has
been abducted, he says he was; and truly, we
think there are now pretty strong reasons for be-
eving But, gross and unbearable as the insult
has been, if there abduction, still we wish
10 our Government comply faithfully with all
It's international obligations towards Spain, not
suffering any hostile expeditions TO be got up or
fitted out in any portion Of our territory against
any portion of hers. If any of the adventurous
spirits implicated in the hunt choose TO go 10 Cuba
or elsewhere, singly, armed unarmed with or
without hostile intentions, there is no legal way OF
preventing them; and there should be none, we sup
pose. But when they goin bodies, by hundreds or by
thousands purchase arms, ammunition, ships, &c. :,
and organize themselves, then the law ought step
in and prevent, If il can, the furhcrance and con-
summation Of designs which are at variance with
the duty owe 10 a friendly power, and in con-
hict with our national honor
