The Crescent City Again.

Mr.. GEORGE LAW applied to the Acting Sec
relary of State, on the 23d inst, to be informed
"whether mails and passengers" carried by the
Crescent City to Havana ''can be allowed to
land" On the 25th Mr.. CONRAD replied, in eff
tect, thatthe Department, being still without au-
thentic information, "has no means OF knowing
the intentions Of the authorities of the islaud;"
adding, however, that past proceedings point
to the inference "that mails aud passengers
conveyed in the steamer Crescent City will
: not be permitted to land there, in case the in
dividual named WIN. SMITH should remain on
board of her."
The Union parades Mr.. CoNRAD's letter as
evidence which ''more than confirms all that
has been stated, all that has been rumored,
and all that has been feared of the trucking
of the Administration before the insolence
and outrage of the Captain General of Cuba
The letter proves nothing of the kind. II
shows simply that the Administration are, as
we stated on the 10th, without authentic in
formation upon the questions involved; and
that in the absence of this information, the Act
ing Secretary declines the responsibility which
MIR. Law would place upon him.
The country will draw a wide distinction
between trucking to Cuba" and refusing II
filibuster against it. Mr.. CoNRAD's statement
indicates that the Government are not prepared
to act unadvsedly; but it does not therefore fol,
low that at the proper time they will not ac
determinedly. The converse, We think, Is
generally true in such cases. The bully is
rarely the hero-the braggart rarely the mar
of action. We have no objection to the Unio'
playing bully and braggart, for characters o
that class suit its taste and its capacity exactly
All we claim for the Wing Administration is
that when the full scope Of the Havana Difficult
ly is ascertained; they will be found read.

the honor and interests of the United States.

Transparencies representing MIR. WEBSTER In
the act of assisting the Spanish officials in the execu-
ton Of the fifty Americans in Cuba have been discov-

be used against Mr.. WEBSTER in case of his nomi-

it illustrates the offensive hypocrisy which at

THE ABOLITIONISTS.

That the reader may form some conception
of the general character of these men, we sub
join the remarks of Parker Pillsbury, one of
their orators, at their late convention in Bos
ton. Even the people of Boston are said to
have been disguised with his outrageous BIAS
phemy. We, for our part, are glad to see the
cloven foot thus plainly shown. No party,
we should hope, could long exist upon such
foundation. A pendant to his speech is the
letter written by Joshua R. Giddings 10 the
meeting, in which he proposes to erect mon
ument to the memory of the fugitive slave who
was killed by officer Ridgely in self defence,
and compares him to those heroes who fell at
Bunker Hill. The report we take from the
New York Herald.
"Parker Pillsbury appeared as chief orator

1t seems that Otto was pupil of Mendels-

though no great genius himself, used TO say
that when he was boy he used to be called
the son of the great Mendelssohn, and that
after he became an old man, he was known as

younger of the great MendeIssohn HIMSELF
He was also favorite pupil.
We reject the idea that Jenny married Otto
from gratitude. howard, the philanthropist,
it is true, married widow twenty five years
older than himself, from gratitude, but we
never heard Of lady's doing any such foolish
