The Administration.

In the short time that has elapsed since the
administration Of General Taylor held the reins
Of Government, the people have repeatedly had
occasion to congratulate themselves unon the
manner IN which the foreign policy of the coun-
try has been conducted. Under the guidance of
this govern nen' we have avoided quarres, and
secured peace upon advantageous terms. The
next step Is to make peace with those of our
neighbors who are IN our hands-so far as nover
Is concerned-bui Who are neither our subjects or
orr enemies, we mean the In Inns In FLORIDA
The new administration found some OF these ex
aspcreted agaln-t the Government and active in
attempting by violent means to procure their
supposed rights 1t has suhdued and Quoted
them, and thus added new boon of peace and
repose to the public.
On this subject the Bitimore American saws:
The policy OF General Taylor in removing the
Indians from Florida by peaceful means deserves
the nearly APPRECIATION OF the country. 1t was
easy enough u have provoked a war with those
saviSes-a war of swamp fighting, ambuscades
ans slaughter, involving the expenditure OF MILL
ons at doiilrs- The last florida war which con-
tinued for i've or years and was Terminated
III 1871, did not probably cost less than thirty
millions. The sacrifice of life was great. and
tie hlr,iships oftha successive campaigns in tine
Everglades were Of tue seycrest and most tryiny
kind
Gen. Taylor served in that war He knew the
nature OF the couttry and the character of the
Indians and doubtless dreaded the CONTINGENCY
u another war BY the arrangement recently
ncluded under the mana re .nent of len. Twirss
the whole Indian popu alton is 10 be peacefully
removed from Florida at m expense to the Gov
ernment not exceeding S225 000-a SUN which
would not suffice Tor the outfit aud pay of a Iegi-
nent Tor one campaign.
We repeat that the President, by this pacific
policy, has rendered service to his country wor-
ihy OF us most cordial approval. \ good is al
ways achieved by the avoidance of an evil |,
may be Mat the result of such wise forbearance
and clrcumspect sagacty may not show forth
with brilllancy-but the patriotic and observant
know how 10 appreciate II.

Thomas Butler King. The Bellows Falls Ga
zette claims that this gentleman is a native of
Bellows Fais-and more marvellous than that.
1t says that an Indian of The st Francis tribe
told the fortune" of Mr.. Kings mother, pre-
dieting that she should nave son who would 90
to distant country, gather much god and be-
come great man. The prediction may be true
Thos. Butler King has been to California-per-
haps he got gold-he didn't get the Senatorshrp
but perhaps he will go ahead yet for all that
But friend Gazette-bui, we have heard Mr..
King himself say that he was not born IN YER
mont, and that he i0as born in Massachusetts.

The Slavery Debate.

The reader now has the whole of Mr.. CLAWS
speech. We did not ike his compromise, as re-
ported in the abstrac: of his speech; we 10 not
like 1t any better now. since we have had the ad-
vantage of the speech in full; yet the question,
the crisis, the man, all demand fair hearing /;
and we trust the speech will be read and reflect
ed upon by all. For this purpose we give it
not, by any means. as a party document: Mr.
Clay is Wing, but he speaks not for party
purpose. 1t is very likely that with the same
view-to wit, OF keeping our readers thoroughly
instructed on the important matter-we shall
publish the forthcoming speeches of Mr.. Cal
houn, Mr.. Benton, and Mr.. Webster.

"The non Intervention Watchman n-Pairioi

Exactly 50 long as Intervention is un-
called for. If the people of the territories will
exclude slavery, as California has doae, we say
by all mears let them do it. 1t IS their duty
and their privilege 10 act. If they ,rM act
right and voluntarily il is an honor of which We
would not deprive them. If they will not do it
voluntarily, then intervention becomes our duty
and privilege and the Waterman in that case
says: clap on the Wilmot Proviso, and have
the right thing done by compulsSh We are
for The right, any way. When the Patriot can
improve upon that, viii it be SO good as to let
us know it.

The Union We dll not hesitate to believe
that the Hon. Mr. Clin-man greatly mi-toos the
sentiments of the Wings of his own patriot G
state, IN his late Dlsunion speech This opinion
Is coatirned by the following article from the
Fayetteville Observer of Feb ,:
We take this occasion to say, very emphati-
cally, that we have no faith il, nor sympathy
with, Mr. ClIngnan's views of The immense pros
perty which Is TO result 10 the South from dis
union. we should regard u, if effected, itehrch
God iorbid,) as tn pweHi Of rcoes innumsrq5ic
and unrumbersd 4 hundred fold increase of
the annoyances from Tie fanatics would lead 10
wars, and, instead Of prosperous commerce, we
should have oar trade crippled, and a national
debt incurred to support the expenses of our
army. Instead Of the power which, as united
nation, Is now felt and respected over the wide
world, we have two or more weak and feeble na-
tons, irhith could find II quite as much as mn
could do 10 keep each Other IN check, without any
surplus force To awe the other nations of the
world. No, let US not talk of disunion as long
as there is hope Of avoiding intoerabe oppres-
sion; and especially let US not delaHs the S0aih-
ern people into belief that it will be money
making measure.

! O. The Washington correspondent OF the
Journal of Commerce thus explains the rumored
difficulty in the Cabinet:
| The Nicaragua negotiation, which has been
the subject of so much dogmatisra or the pari OF
some Northern presses, is still optA, but Just
now suspended. The cabinet have got to log
gerIeads about it.
The state of the case is this: Mr.. Lawrence
was and is charged with the negotiation IN Lon
don, and has been from time TO time instructed
as to the views of this government In conse-
quence of Mr.. Lawrence's lndlspositioh, the ne
gotialon Jagged. Mr.. Clayton was FESTIVE. and
proposed to Sir Henry Buwer to open the nego.
:iatons here and with him. Sir Henry stated
he was not instructed on the subject, but knew
the general views Of his government. AS to
some points, he did not know even The views OF
his government, Tor they arose after he lett Eng
land.
But Mr. Clayton entered into correspondence
with Sir Henry Bulwer, and gave him fully the
views of the government, and even the former
terms of the treaty, which the British Envoy,
protesting that he had no authority to sanction
the propositions, sent ont to England by special
messenger. This is what the Tribune referred
to as treaty sent out. Ga Saturday last, MIR.
Clayton brought the subject before the Cabinet,
and discussion of unusual animation took place.
The Cabinet adjourned TO meet the next day,
Sunday, inasn uch as Mr.. Clayton pressed them
tor confirmation of his views, which were to
go out 10 Mr.. Lawrence. The CibInet dissent
ed from the views, and censureG MIR. Claytons
Course. Mr.. Clayton was lncensed, and has even
declared that he would resign.
The author Of the foregoing was wise above
what is written Mr.. Clayton and the British
Minister hare settled the matter in dispute with
out any difficulty at all.

Tennessee Legislature of Tennessee,
which has recently adjourned, passed series Of
resolutions urging upon Senators and Represen-
tatIves IN Congress, devotion to the Union, so
long that de lotion is consistent with The rights

only method by which the Union can be preser-
we'd IN ITS purity, Is to resist at all hazards and
20 the last extremity" any attempt to violate the
terms Of the compact.
O. On Saturday we stated that the Legisa-

stances are about these. Hohp's horse
being sick he accused Mr.. Devans Of
having poisoned him, and at the same
time discharged the contents of a load.

to fragments. Mrs. B. seeing il. ran to
the assistance Of her husband, when
Holm shot her in the side, and then fell
upon Fir b, with the butt of his onn
with all the fury of a demon, which Sc
verely fractured his skull. After bay-
ing exhausted himself, Holm made TO

next morning dead. with his throat cur

hands. Mrs. B will recover. and strong
hopes are entertained for Mr.. b.
