The American people seem relapsing into the
condition Of busy-body, who loves to NEEDLE in
other mems matters. Persons exist, we all know,
very curious about their neighbors' affairs, and
sometimes volunteering to take troublesome con-
Germ respecting them. Such men rarely help an.
other much; but they are certain to injure them
selves by neglecting their own business. We do
not deny the right of the United States to look after
the welfare of other communities, and also to in
terfere by counsel, encouragement, and remon-
STRANGE, if need be. But really one would sup
pose that they have so large family Of their own
to care for to leave them little time and means
to bestow on strangers. Yet we every day behold
one European subject Of excitement after another
engrossing our attention, just as if we were not
three or four thousand miles asunder from the
places of their origin. An Englishman remarked
the other day that he could peruse the Times in
some ofth papers of New York almost as well as
by taking it in at his house in London.
\, But we are not going into the question Of the
missionary genius of our country, or Of its inter-
vention in the political operations Of the old world
All this, to certain extent, is expedent as well as
right. But we insist upon the duty Of withdraw
ing our eye from perpetual observation of their
antiques, their conspiracies and histories, which,
after all, we can but imperfectly understand, and
fixing It on the policy of our own land, which may
be comprehended to some purpose. In short, we
are disposed to like little the extfavagant impor-
tation of their political as we are their manufac-
tured articles, and would desire to have genuine
commodities of our own substituted in their room.

There is one gratifying feature in this border
foray Ton the Rio Grande] which we cannot help
remarking the utter want OF sympathy the floating
unemployed fllibusiers in our Northern cities seem
to have forit Notwithstanding the somewhat ex-
citing character of the contest, as the telegraph
made it appear few weeks since, we do not hear
OF single volunteer going from this part Of the

been held in the Park nay, most wonderful Of all,
CarvajaPs name was never lisped even in Tam
many Hall, in any of the excited meetings that
were held there for bunkum, just before the late
election. The orators on those occasions though,
we remember now, were so taken up with The
Cuban affair, and SO busy with European inter-
vention'' and a /" Republican crusade against the
Continental despots," (Uide Mr.. Corry,) that it is
possible they forgot all about Captain Carvajal
and his crew. This was sad oversight; but it is
rot too late yet to make amends. The Snug
glers," at last accounts, had fallen back on Rey-
nosa, waiting for reinforcements. The chances are
that their position there by this time is not Of
very comfortable nature. Recruits from Tammany
Hall or the Pewter Mug, no doubt, would be well
come; but, as the next election day is nearly
twelvemonth distant, we suspect it will be hard
job to nvigorate the now slumbering patriotism of
the unterritied. Can't the National Democrat or

honor to himself by these judcious exhibitions Of
liberality as he has done by his ability and integ-
rity in the business class Of LondDn, sf which lie is
most worthy member.
With regard to the sentiments Of reciprocal ma

at this banquet, we cannot too highly admire and
approve them. With respect to the free-trade
principles, however, and the joint cooperation be-
tween the United States and Great Britain for the
advancement and protection Of Independence and
free government among the nations Of the earth,

trHE SUIT OF RUssET BROWN.

tTHE SUIT OF RUSSET BROWN.
BY ELIZA COOK.
Amaiden once lover had
Who breathed the truest sighs;
Bu, simple was this lover clad,
In dark and lowly guise:
So allhis wooing was in vain,
,aShe scorned his peasant grade,
She tossed her head and Knocked his pain
And laughed at all he said.
"No, no." cried she, "the tale would be
A jest for all the town;
I'll we'd no youth who wears forsooth
A suit of russell brown"
He offered her a gentle bird,
Whose plumage it was true
Gave forth no sheen Of glossy green,
No scarlet, gold or blue.
She looked upon it with an eye
That flashed with kindling pride;
With head upliN she scorned the gift,
And thrust the cage aside.
"No, no." cried she, with pompous airs,
"Such boon would not own;
For, like yourself, it only wears
A suit Of russet brown"
When next she met the youth, he wore
A doublet Of high cost;
The birds sweet song was heard to pour
But youth and bird we're lost.
The maiden then oewailed her fate,
She blamed her scornful mirth,
And thought, but ah! she thought too late
"Plain garbs may cover worth"
Then ladies', list-the lesson learn
Be wary how you frown; n
Think twice ere once you rudely spurn
A suit Of russet brown.
