A JUST MAN.

A just man is always simple. He is a
man Of direct aims and purposes. There Is
no compIeXlty IN his motives, and thence
there is no jarring n discordangy in his char.
arter. lie wishes to d. right, ana in most
cases he does il; he may err, but it is Nv
mistake OF Judgment and not by perversitv
or intention. The moment his Judgment IS
enlightened, his action is C corrected. Setting
before hlmse { a ways, a GEAR and worthy
end, he wi never pursue.it by any conceal.
ed or unworthy means. We may carrv our
remarks for il. ustration, both into private and

there is a charm about him, which no arti6.
claI grace has ever had the power to bestow :
there is a sweetness, | had almost said, n

SPAIN AND TIL UNITED SrArEs,-The spe.
cial correspondent of the Philadelphia In.
quirer telcgraphs from Washington in rela.
ton to orders having been despatched to
Norfolk, for the immediate fitting ont of all
the vessels at that station, rs follows:
Their destination is said to be the West
Indies-probnbiy Cuba, aud we have vari.
Gus rumors ailoat as to the cause. Some
affirm that another Cuban expedition is on
foot. and Others that Spain has assumed n
tone towards the United States which can.
not for a moment be tolerated. One story is,
that demands having been made by the
American Ministera at Madrid, at the instance
OF this Government, for the release of Amer.
lean citizens resident in Cuba, who had
been imprisoned aud ruined, without any
evidence of a participation in the Lopez in.
vasion-that the Spanish Government had
refused the required satisiaotion-and hence
this movement. IL is, perhaps, more prc.
c%autionaTy than otherwise.

ANOTHER FEDERAL MEASURE AvowEp.-
we do not know when the fundamental
difference between the two great parties of
this country has been more clearly shown
than in the very recent attempt, by the wing
members of n committee of the House, to
hold Mr.. Richie, editor of the Washington
Union, as entitled to the punishment oi the
House because he wound not reveal the
names OF certain correspondents of the paper
whose only sin was that OF daring to write
against the wings, A very able discussion
followed this attempt of the wings, in the
course of (which the position of the democrats
ON the whole question was iorcibly aud fully
defined. Mr, Evans, Of Maryland, was the
most anxious champion of the whig side Of
the question, and he lelt the criticism Mr..
Fitch (democrat) OF Indiana, so keeniy hat
he lost his temper, aud tried, in his phren>y,
to make a personal issue-an effort which
his calm and fearless adversary made all the
more ridiculous by his-coolneSs aud deliber.

accomplished than his surgical examination

The sane subject with great elaquence and
effect. We presume the wing leaders will

tho authorities OF the Island for trial under

Grafton tor four. They left this about ten
days since, on the same vessel that bore the
Inumvir, Clouds de Mrasoi, from Cuba.
The seven seamen illegally detained here,

North at the expense of the United States
they were not, however. so received by NJ
Moreland, who is in charge of the otice du-

acknowledged their delivery as seamen of
the bark Georgiana and brig Susan Loud,
aud they were sent home by the brig John
French, bound to New York, previous to
the departure of the officers of the vessels
for their African prisons. All the law re.
cited in the trials, as we have yet seen, are
Spanish laws, and no references made TO the
text books of international law.

The mother of the mate of the Georgian,
Mrs. Grafton, arrived here yesterday in the
steamer Georgia, from New York, to ask
pardon of her son. She has been introduced
by Calderon de la Barca and Mr.. Webster,
IN letters to the Conde A!coy, which will
receive respectful aud kind attention.
The good matron was granted an au-
dlence yesterday, and was received in the
accustomed urbaGe style, that marks the
nature of Alcoy, and gives him an advan.
