that this expansion does not become such as to de-
ssroy the equilibrium Of the Powers and endanger the
peace OF the world by the preponderance Of single State
whether that State be in America elsewhere? There
would really be occasion for alarm reading the speech
OF MI Cass If at the time allowance were not made
for that exaggeraon which is peculiar to the orators Of
the Democratic party all the world over and particularly
In the United States"
Then follows quotation, badly translated from the
Generals speech; after which the writer proceeds:
Ceres, Europe interested in watching the progress
OF this garganua appetite it merely for the purpose
Of securing its own possessions and Gen. Cass the less
justified in dsregarding this right he himself asserts
for his country the right of interfering in the affairs
of Europe, and Of thus charging have said above
the sphere of the United States relations with the
ernments of the old world Do not unto Others il is
said what you would not that others should do unto
you This is not the doctrine Of Mr. Cass Was it not
he in fact who proposed in the Senate to make solemn
declaration against the Intervention Of Russia in the Hun
garan war This intrusion in quarrel utterly foreign
to America, consistent in party leader who pre-
tends to forbid European Powers concerning themselves
in any manner whatever with the affairs Of the new
worlds"
The writer then proceeds to ridcue the idea that the
French Government in the slightest degree connected
with responsible for the mad pranks of its subject
Count RAoUssEr BoULBos in Northern Mexico; and he
sees
Much greater danger FOR Mexican independence in
the perpetual encroachments of those bands o North Ae-
rcans that establishing themselves upon the territory
OF the Mexican republic These Tor the most part
composed of volunteers who dsbanded after the
where they contracted the habit of living upon the pay
granted them by Congress during the INVASION and upon
the booty which they seized without scrupe enemys
country. They invasive, brave, but utterly
princpled race and they constitute element of
trouble and dissolution in country already given up to
anarchy There is the true danger Mexican natona
ty but Gen. Cass has eyes for that He only the
ntgues of France and he beseeches the Senate pro-
test in advance against those chmerca nrgues which
no of good attach any credit to. And as
to Cuba it is truly with i'll grace that in Ame
rca reproach foreign nations with intriguing for the pos
session of this island if the charge not quite
frivolous the other For the last years the Gov
of the American Confederation has been insisting
at the Court Of Madrid to obtain possession of this jewel
of the Spanish Crown and loudly expresses the hope of
acquiring time or other by the force of events if in
other way this colony which its bankers after 1t
torously accords its sympathy to the dscontened men
who dreaming of the independence Of Cuba and
has permitted the departure from its shores OF two expe
ons of fi5users, carrying into the island and it
toerates the existence of society," having
ramfcatons and formed with the avowed design
Of sezing upon Cuba. How after all this the Sc
nator from Michigan dare to talk of ntrigues
abroad "
The writer then discusses the conduct of the United
States Government in the matter of the triple treaty pro-
posed by England respecting Cuba and draws from hst
conduct most unavorabe conclusions with regard to the
intentions and the integrity of our Government He al
ude in much less belcose phrase than might be expect
ed, to the socaled American principle" which inter-
diets the extension Of European influence in America and
expresses the hope that however Gen. PIERCE may share
the tendency of all Democrats to declare republican
he viii take President to check
this tendency and prevent its leaving the domain of
theory reveal itself by direct intervention in European
affairs. That he simply remarks, "would be danger
game" Every body knows that Mr.. Pierce is an
honorable 1t remains to be if he win have
sufficient strength to resist the influences pushing him
excesses which emanate from his party" The pos
sibity of Cuban annexation is regarded without an,
especial ire by the semi-ocal Journal he only hope
that it will operated during Mr.. FIRRcEs
raon by unjust aggression, by intrgues which
public opinion would condemn " and far from threat
ening European Intervention prevent punish this
annexation the writer wisely intmates that annexation
would not fail to become its punishment by
sowing the seeds of dscord between the States weaken
ing the cement of the Confederation and perhaps finally
dissolving the Union.
