UNITED STATES DOCTRINES THIRTY-THREE
YEARS AGO.


An article from correspondent in preceding
column very clearly states the principle of public
law as applied by Gen. JACKSON to cases of war
waged or set on foot by citizens Of one Nation
against the Territories or People of any friendly
Power. In the memorable Letter of Mr.. ADAMS,
then Secretary of State, to the Minister of the
United States at Madrid, justfying Gen. JACK
SONS action throughout, he speaks of the incident
OF the hanging of the two foreigners found in arms
with the Indians) against the United States, in
terms which strongly express his sense of the
enormity of the offence of their intrusion into ter
rtories where they had no lawful business.
els this narrative Of dark and complicated dspravy; this
creeping and insious war; both sganst Spain and the Uni
ted States this mockery Of patriotism these political phil
tes to fugitive slaves and Indian outlaws these perdss and
treacheres Of villains incapable Of keeping their faith
to each other oil in the Of South American liberty of
the rights Of runaway negroes and the wrongs Of savage
murdere-all combined and projected plumber Spain
her Provinces and spread and devastation along
the borders Of the United S,aes-is all this sufficient TO
cool the sympathes Of his Catholic Msesys Government
excited by the execution of these subjects Of Power
in amiy with the King p"
Again, in a subsequent part Of the same Letter,
Mr.. ADAMS says
"Two Of them, offenders Of the deepest dye, after solemn
warning to their Government and Individually of
them, have fallen, agrante decto, into the hands of an
American General and the punishment inflicted upon them
has fixed them high example, awful in its exhbi
ton, but trust suspicious in its results of that which
awaits unauthorized petenders Of European agency to
stimulate and interpose in between the United States
and the Indians within their control"

VHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

The Erpres. Of this morning shows up /" the
bloody reality !" of the Cuban expedition under Lo-
per in most startling manner. Ii makes out thai
al least one hundred and fourteen Of the young men
who SO recklessly, and under the fallacious pro-
misses OF designing demagogues, threw themselves
into the power Of relentless enemy, have already
been shot, and that the strong probability is that the
whole expedition of four hundred and fifty men
have shared, or will surely share, that wretched
fate. The writer places the blame where il be-
longs for all this, and alludes to the significant fact
that some Of the persons before their death wrote
letters bitterly denouncing those who had deluded
them, especially Lopez, the arch deceiver of all.
(" Let" says the Express, the men who have been
planning Cuban revolutions in their Offices and
closets at home read over those letters and fathom
if they can the depth of misery, suffering. and

envy not their reflections
4 HOW 1T WAS DONE
Extract from a Letter Of Washington News-
paper Correspondent.
II learn this morning something of the manner
! in which money has been raised at the South for
: fitting ont expeditions to Cuba. 1t appears that
!. Lopez has issued a large amount of sfotk, the
: redemption Of which depended upon his own bad
faith and worse means, and the success of his ex-
petitions TO Cuba. Strange to say, this stock has
: found purchasers in the United States, and
: among the purchasers, of course, are those most
: eager for the revolution in Cuba. / have heard
: of crops Of cotton exchanged for this stock in
: Louisiana, and of sales made in >auannah at the
rate of ten cents on the dollar! CSold elsewhere
: for fourth of that rate. By this means many
: now have pecuniary interest in the revolution,
: and others have promises without number, which
they are anxious to c0nstrue as stock in trade.
I Texas annexation and Texas stocks have proved
the stimulus to enterprises which have led to the
most daredevil expeditions and the worst exam
Piles of avarice."
So that if this be true, an iniquitous stockjo5-
hing has been mixed up with the base betrayal of
American citizens to death.

n CUBA REPORTS FROM NEW ORLEANS.
We observe by Telegraph bulletins in the North
ern papers that the Spanish accounts from Havana
to the 25th utimo, brought to New Orleans by the
steamer Cincinnati, represent that LOPEZ was sur
rounded by four thousand of the Government forces.
The steamer Alabama, reported yesterday to
have been seized by the Government authorities, it
now appears has been released, on the assurance Of
her owners that she has not been sold to the Cuban
sympathzers. That she is still at New Orleans is
conclusive evidence Of the falsity Of former Tele
graphic report that she had sailed for Cuba, amidst
great enthusiasm" in company with the steamer
Fanny, both Of them being filled with men and
munitions of war to reinforce the Invaders.

The time was when the UNITED STATES stood
highest, absolutely highest among nations for fideli
ty 10 engagements, for national honor and honesty,
for respect to treaties and international law. In
those days public opinion was not sufficiently de-
bauched to approve wrong openly, or to obstruct
authority in attempts to suppress it. During the
Presidencies Of MONROE and J. @. ADAMS, when
the United States were at peace with all the world,
while other nations, and nearest neghbors too,
were convulsed with wars and revolutions, Ameri-
can citizens did not openly violate treaties, our own
laws the laws of other nations, international law,
defy their own rulers to suppress such revolutions,
or threaten them with popular vengeance at the
polls for striving to maintain international obliga-
tons. In those days every American citizen who
had an individual character worth preservation
seemed to think that the national character was
partly under his own guardianship, would be dis
graced by his own misconduct, or by his failure to
aid all governmental efforts for its maintenance.
Then our national character was theme of praise
abroad, even among those who had no Partially
for political institutions, and no desire for their
extensions. Then Englishmen, Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Russians, whether in books or public docu-
ments, while cOntending for the necessity Of mon
archy in Europe, while urging that our democracy
adapted only to ourselves and would utterly fail
with any other people, readily, cordially, admit
q
did example Of fidelity to treaties and all other ma
sional obligations. And while the aristocracies Of
Europe thus candidy acknowledged what was appa.
rent the meridian sun, the European democracies
regarded Us with enthusiasm as the worlds great
hope, afording not only their present refuge, but
by the example Of our prosperity, our progress
our national honor and justice, their promise Of
future emancipation.
Have those days passed away! Has the splen-
dor of that national character waned! Has public
opinion become SO far corrupted, we may say de-
bauched, as to regard treaties and international law
as worse than useless trammels- governmental
authority for the maintenance of private or public
right as tyranny! We think not; certainly no,
with the great body of calm, thinking, honest, and
considerase portion Of our citizens upon whom the
country must rely in times of emergency for Civ.

and honorably sustaining the rght-Pub. Ledger

this seems to be the great object of the
arts in modern civilization. The wooden
clock period has gone by, The moment
that iron clocks were brought out, that
moment wooden clocks disappeared /; and
to our utmost surprise, the other day,
ON inquiring the price of one of these
iron clocks, finished in pearl, gilt, and
porcelain of every description, we found,
with the best metallic running movement
that could be made, it was only six dol
lars. 1t was worth five in our opinion 10
look at it so that, in fact, the one that l
bought stood me in but. eight 1ork shll,
lings, and it was an eight'day clock AZ
that.
that is the various forms into which stat
nary can be worked in iron. The finest
statute ever made by Cleomines. Praxi-
teles, Micheal Angelo, or Canova, can
here be cast of iron as easily as cook
ing-stove, and as quickly. 1t can be fin
ished in imitation Of the finest Parian mar
BILE, and it win last longer than statutes
ever lasted or ever can, cut from marble.
OF course it can be made for a small frac-
ton of the cost ofmarble of the same
form, and it is not liable to those acct
dents which have broken almost all the
ancient statutes in existence for in the
endless halls of the Vatican, out of eigh-
teen thousand ancient marbles, there is
scarce one that is not broken, If the an
cient masters had conceived of this idea,
their works, which now exist but in scat
tered fragments, would have been multi
piled, and made as lasting as the earth
itself
We hope that the time is not only ap-
preaching, but it has come, when our
merchants, and bankers, will be so i'm
bued with sentiments of the beautiful,
that the love of art among us will grow
into a passion, and that our country
homes and villas will be ornamented with
all those beautiful works which have come
down from past ages, sanctifed by the ge-
MUS that has adorned the world.
