tons connected with foreign affairs then rcceiv

lows: The kidnapping of Kcsta in Smyrna-the in
generation Of Capt. Gibson bv the Dutch authorities

Of England with slavery in the Island of Cuba. To
To this list the Mobile Advertiser adds The Com
merce Of Japan-thc Navigation of the Amazon-the
Messlla Valley question and lastly the chance for

ing his subscription to the Union Here chances
enough for crafty the belis rant propenstes
OF the Young American Democracy on the one hand,
and on the other for the Premier to display any di-
plomatic skill he may possess With the "bloods"
Of Young America eager for war, the Premier will
have his hands full to preserve peace No wonder re

of Y,ung America-George n. Saunders-Consul at
London. He seems to entertain fearful apprehen-
sions, that George will give him trouble yet in the
responsible and distinguished position the Brigader
has seen proper to place him, and either on that
account to pay off old against the rampant
anti-old Fogy editor of the Democratic Review, for
spelling his chances for the Baltimore nomination

cratic party during Mr.. Fillmo-e's Administration,

country was not plunged into war for the very same
causes that exist, VIC might anticipate, half a
dozen or so of wars and continuation OF them, at

sober thought and becomemuch more docle when they
get into power and have shoulder the responsible

chances for war, we do not apprehend much danger

ton to involve the country in war; but with all its
Dragging, it takes good to select power over

her territory by way of letting off the accumulated
Talor Of Democratic Administration, and pacifying
the Young America Democracy. But as for any
other chances for war, they will be produced more
from the effects of laundering diplomacy than any
exhibition OF true courage. We had specimen Of
that under former Democratic Administration.

So the New York papers say. After undergoing all
the agonies Of suspense and having to battle against
the most formidable opposition the representative of
the Young Democracy came out triumphant, and, on
the strength Of it, gave this sumptuous dinner Let
the Premier, and all the rest of Old Foggydom hide
their diminished heads after this. Young America
