PHIFrY-FoUR PHoRrY OR RPHiGHT.-Une Of
the resolutions PASSED at the recent Lpcolo-
CO Convention, reads as follows: !
"ReyolUrd, That the inefficient and timid
foreign policy of the present administration,
its utter failure TO cause our flag and the
rights of our people TO be respected, and its
tame submission 20 violations of both, meet
and receive our Indignant condemnation
Upon this the Ohio State urnalremarks
that "such 10 one ofthe tom-fcol resolutions
of the late Eighth Of January Convention.
If there is any one thing more ridiculous
! than another, il is the svagger Of these 81
deg. 40 min. gentlemen when they venture
to talk about our foreign relations. Look
at their conduct under Polk on the Oregon
question. See how they boosted, and then
how terribly they fzzled. And yet, these
same men, with an infatuation wonderful1o
behold. really think the people have forgot
en- all these things, and are just as keen to
humbug and cheat them again, as they were
in 1914, with their clustering talk about nq-
tionaI honor! and their heroic devotion to it!
The United States may, indeed, be very
thankful if our 6oreign relations are manag-
ed with as much care and ability, for four
years past. Our national honor and credit
never stood higher among foreign nations
than they do today.
We have published the speeches of MASON
and CAss, wherein they fully endorse the
j course of President FILLMORE in his rela-
tons with Cuba. They denounce the fiji
busters, and utterly repudiate all such arrunt
nonsense as.is embodied in the above reso-
luton. They thank GoD that the Govern
ment is not in the hands Of such men as
GEORGE LAW, and the Ohio Locofoco Con-
vention. We are content to hear such men
as passed this resolution make fools Of them
selves, when the endorsement of CAss and
MASON goes forth to the world, from the Sen
ate chamber, in vindcution of the policy and
conduct of the President" '.-..
WING STATE CONTENTION We are pleas.

JUDGES AND PoLirIcs--The Cincinnati
Gazette of "Wednesday says that Judge
FLINN has not yet returned home from Co
lun,bus, and the Criminal Court was agail
adjourned yesterday until Monday. The
Jury and witnesses are dismissed until tha
e time"
r This is Il pretty kettle of fish, In these
r DAYS, the execution Of the laws must giv'
way to the political ambition Of Judges, ant
, Courts are adjourned while they attend po
f ltical conventions. Il is high time tor th
people to begin to act for themselves an
not take everything as right because politi
: cal leaders tell them SO.
A New CoIN.-Tho New Orleans Plea
-, yune says they were shown yesterday L Swe
/ dish silver coin of the issue of 1852, unde
: King Oscar, very large quantity Of whic
has been recently brought into this city an
now floods the market Their intrinsic val
q ue is six cents they are Of the size Of dimC
s somewhat thinner and much lighter
d! There is possibility OF these coins bcin
: passed off as dimes. The slightest exami
: nation detects the difference.
Z ONO CANAL.-The Engineer of this ca
- nal publishes notice in the Portsmoth In
d quirer, as follows: .-...
r "The water will be drawn off the Cana
=, between Columbus and Portsmouth 'on til
y 10th day of March, and continue of unit

j. Tight Quarters.--On splitting off piec
of old marble at Washington Navy Yard,
few days since, by Commodore Rogers, ther
5. was discovered four inches below the SUI
ID face) several holes about the diameter of
n small pistol bullet, in cath of which ther
:, was a muscle alive aid kicking. ..
) CUBA.-We learn from recent account
n that confidence is entirely restored in Cub;
N and that business is prosperous and promis
> ing in different branches One Of the mos
3 satisfactory evidences of this is the facilit
n and abundance with which money has bee
II offered for the construction of railroads an
ID other enterprises. The government pre-
% posed, short time since, to raise lour
n and received offers for more than they need
g ed at low rates of interest; and similar read
e mess to invest has been shown for Ion
lr terms. We learn, also, from sources i
e which we place full reliance, that importan
oi meliorations are seen to be made in the Ee
ministrative department of the government
Of the island, and that certain chunges {
y e decided advantage will take place also in tn
