The rlIlbusters and Mlnls,,r So,Ie

We find in our exchanges the announcement that
it is in contemplation to give Mr. Soule, the Min
lister to Spain, n complimentary dinner his arrival
in New York. previous to his departure for Madrid,
and furthermore, that the persons who are most ac-
tive in getting up this dinner to Monsieur Soule,
figured some time since in Cuban operations. Such
complimentary" manifestations not likely TO in
the chances for cordial reception to the Pre-
sidents Minister by the Spanish Government The
prospects for his reception at all considered by no
means fattering, and like this on the part of
the Cuban Flibusters would tend very naturally to
irritate Spanish prejudice against Mr.. Soue. lie
may be smart enough, however, to decline the
complimentary honors of his Fillibuster friends on
this occasion, and so TO SPAIN as he should do, in
the capacity of American Minister and not as the
peculiar favoritc of the Flibusters carrying with
him their obnoxious and insulting manifestations
that Government IT, on the contrary, he goes there
as his appointment would seem to indicate, for the
purpose of stirring up difficulty with Spain to give
the present Administration for sczing upon
Cuba such demonstrations may aid him somewhat in
efectng the object Of his mission. Just in proper
ton to the qualification the appointment of Mr.
Soue affords to the Cuban Fibustersi is that appoint
ment obnoxious and irritating to the Spanish Govern
ment. The former, it seems, highly gratified
at his appointment, and far it seems TO indicate
the extent of the Presidents prudence and concia-
tory spirit this delicate question. But What else
have we to expect from an Administration, the sole
object Of which is plainly to court the favor Of all
the agators in the land and to encourage and sustain
them in their course by Cf the patronage Of the
Government, without regard to the peace and welfare
of the country?

We had intended TO keep our readers informed Of
the ''harmonious" doines Of the great Democracy,
while they in tho pcnitude Of their power, with
none save discordant spirits among themselves, to
disturb the peace and brothery love of the party but
we shall have to giveit up. Their dasensions too
numerous to chronicle in full. They have como so
thick and fast Of late that unable to keep pace
and must skip sundry interesting family quarrcls
to make brief notice Of another outbreak among
the New York Dcmocracy-and all about the spoils
the cohesive attraction Of which appears to have lost
the virtue attributed to it by Mr.. Calhoun, for the
reason, no doubt, hattherc is not enough Of it.
Along list Of appointments was recently made out
for the New York Custom House, in which the Free
Sellers were abundantly provided for, as usual It
soon stirred up breeze in the family, for the two
wings OF the Now York Democracy, the "Hards" and
tho 'Softs" hate each other with q cordial hatred
The following from the New York True Democrat will
give their own account Of their grievances and vivid
description of the men appointed to those important
Offices:
"A very few Of the apponecs known to citizens
as men Of high character and amply qualified for the po-
sons to which they have been appointed, while the
jory have never been known among Democrats ALL or
If only to bring disgrace upon the party whose prnci
pies they protested to cspouse Among those appointed
to responsible positions learn that there who
can scarcely write their names while others charged
by common rumor, with crimes which If they have
been punished should be by obloquy and disgrace One
accused Of using his private purposes money that
was collected few years since from the benevolent for
the relief Of the people Of Ireland while suffering all the
horrors of famine; and another being in iden
tilted with the gangs Of desperdocs that hover around
our docks in search OF PLUMBER to the terror of all we'll
disposed citizens What of these may also be
Of others, when il becomes known who they are.
Thus has the patronage Of the Collector beendspens
ed while me of character, INTELLIGENCE and education who
have grown gray in the service Of the Democracy and
who are known by every fully qualified for their
positions, have been neglected and forgotten
The above is Democratic description of the
Custom House appointments il will be remembered,
and nice set of them they arc. Some can scarcely
write their names. Some are charged with dark
crimes-of appropriating to private Purposes money
intended for the reefo the starving Irish and others
of belonging, in measure to gangs Of desperadoes
Such the selected to take charge Of the pubs
lie money under the new Administration. But they
must be bought up the Democracy will loose their
support. The Government pays for it. No
wonder the conservative Democracy of New York
denounce them in such unqualified terms.

Orr AGENTS ADRoAD.-Our special European Cores.

This being the case is certainly importan. tb,. on,
representation there should be something more than
