among the members Of the Administration
They have no difficulties among ,hemselve
personally, or as tn their policy. The.
have no party measures to propose 10 Con
gress. and as 10 their foreign policy, gener
ally, there is nothing in that, which is Il
excite any opposition, on the part Of Con
gress. They will meet with lr1,e of tha
bitter hostility from Congress. which som'
previousAdmlnistrations have encountered
Mr.. Corwin may make some s,ereotypet
remarks on the policy of protecting Am.ri
can products and manufactures; but, there
is no probability that Congress will serious,
y consider any project for the revision O
the Tariff. No member OF the Cabinet i:
Jet 90 formidable as a candidate for the
Presidency, as 10 excite much jealousy Of
ahvy. Mr.. Filmore's prospects as can.
dida,e are no, frightened by the results oil
rescent elections. In fine, the present Ad-
mlnis'ration; has no heir apparent for the
succession, and there Is little reason for
eSpending much powder in ba,,ering il
down.
Congress will be much engaged. as here
tofore, when on the eve Of Of Presiden-
,ial election, in inlriguss for or againo, this
or that candidate. The Wings being in a
minority. and much divided among Them
selves, will hold themselves alopf ard look
on upon the game. The Democrats, with
their large majority id both Houses, and
having mnjori,ies in nearly all the S'a;es.
will have occupation in the selection OF
Presidential candidates, and in arrange.
menls for taking the rens OF Government.
Already, they look even beyond the eIec
ton 10 The selection of members OF the
next Cabinet. The next will not be a bus.
ness session, though there will be business
enough TO be done. 1t will be emphalicaIly
talking session. The Democratic mem-
bers will have much inNuence IN the de,
s'gnaiion of presidential candidates a, the
National Democratic Convention next
spring. Upon The discretion Of ,heir man
agement, in this respect, will depend the
harmony Of the party. and, perhap,, the
question whether there shall be another
presidential nomination by a National Con.
vention. or even another presidential elec.

The we'll known Washington correspon.
dent Of the New York Sun, speaking oi
what has passed between Great Britain,
France and the United States, says in his
letter Of the 3lst ult.
We may gather, however, from what
has passed, that, had the Lopez expedI.
tion met with any success, fleets OF ves-
sells and regiments Of volunteers would
have rushed from our ports to the compile
ton Of this conquest. In that case, II is
easy 10 imagine ,ha, France and England
would have taken up the Spanish cause
Then we must either have acquiesced in
that Interference. or gone to war with these
three powerful nation5-gone into a war
for the destruction of American commerce
and for the utter ruin Of the Southern pros
ducing States, that depend on foreign mar
kets for the sale Of their produce-gone in
10 a war for the abolition OF slavery in
Cuba. for that would have been its speedy
aud sure result.
The Cincinnati Nonpareil, Of the Sd
instant gives the following account of the
dissraceful conduc, OF some men in at-
tempting to obstuct the passage of the
Mansfield and Sandusky railroad:
The Mansfield and Sardusky train, last
Thursday, ran over two horses and killed
them. The nelghborhood becarie excited
abou, It. They gathered together, blocked
up the road with logs and fence rails, and
when the cars arrived; told the engineer,
&c., that the cars should not ptoceed. The
men on the tram commenced clearing the
track, and the party who had "logeed it,"
made an assault upon them. A fight en-
sued. The assAilants were beaten badly;
one person very severely. The "log and
rail party" were taken up. and committed
for examination.
