GLouis Napoleon, the man who a few years
ago could scarcely command a dinner in New
York, now orders the fate of war or peace in
Europe, and, perhaps, the fate of western civil
l%ization. This is, indeed, a romance in real life.

Wing Opinion Of the Message.

Some Of the small pop-guus of the wing
party affect great contempt for the President
Message. The following is the opinion of
the National Intelligencer, the leading wing
paper Of the country = ro
Without attempting at present anything
like review of this important exposition Of
the state of the nation, and of the views enter
tanned by the President upon particular ques-
lions of national policy, we may be allowed to
say, that, as whole, the perusal Of it has af-
forded us qualification in many things-and
even agreeable disappointment in some-leav-
ing us little to regret but lis opinions, differ
ing from our own, on certain points upon
which we had no reason to expect them to
agree"
The Baltimore American, another leading
wing paper, says:
The message is a temperate and iudicious
document, perhaps subject to some uncertain
ty OF construction, but inoffensive and respect
tul, even to his political antagonists. We
take pleasure in saying, that whilst its style
and temper are worthy Of appreciation, the ma
tlonallty OF It's doctrines-in maintaining the
nights OF our CITIZENSHIP restraining depre
datlOns against other nations,-in protecting
and developing our infant and distant acquisi-
tions-in the general supervision of our do
nestle interests, and above all in pledging him
self to maintain the compromise measures, and
TO see that the repose which he assumes has
succeeded the adoption of these measures shall
,suher no check during his official term I'll
ne snail have power to avert it's worthy oil

Bath.

The last number of the Skowhegan Clarion
contains communication from citizen of
Somerset, who has made short soourn in
our city We copy few extracts -
Ed CLARION Dear Sir-For some DAYS
/ have mingled with the people Of this grow
ing city, and noticed the spirit of improvement
presented on every hand. During the last
few months gas-llght has been introduced into
many OF the business places, as we'll as into
the most fashionable private dwellings, which
adds much to the comfort and convenience of
those who are under the necessity of doing
business in the evening. But the most enter
prising business here is ship-building, which
constantly employs several thousand hands,
and is the means of distributing considerable
money through the several grades of society
All are benefited by; each individual picks
up his share, whatever may be his occupation
So, you see, that it promotes an air of bust
ness throughout the place--the high and low,
rich and poor, all seem to realize that Bath is
propitious spot for those who are willing to
labor for comfortable livelihood. If you
chance to be in the crowd, whether in the sit
ting-room or in the street, the great topic is
| Shipping the conversation commence
on politics it is sure to terminate in introduc-
ing the state OF the weather or the completion
of that ship; or should you speak Of the adj
vance of exports, or West India goods, the
price of ship timber would surely be questioned.
Could our country friends see one of these
stately ships in progressive state of compile
ton, they would not wonder that the people
of Bath feel proud of her enterprising citizens.
The sound of the saw and hammer at early
| dawn announces the commencement of labor
in answer to the call Of the bell, and so at noon
and night, the same regularity is observable
Here we meet enterprising men from all parts
of the country making calculations, and fur
nishing models for new ships vessels almost
daily arriving with materials for their con-
struction.
You would enjoy few days in Bath, for
the people are all equable-the churches are
generally well filled, which you know speaks
volumes for the Shepherds Of the focks,' as
well as for those who delight to sit under the
droppings of the sanctuary u 9l
must leave here in few days, but re-
greet to do so, as feel entirely at home at the
Sagadahock, where all the comforts of a stran-
ger are consulted, and mutual feelings of kind
ness seem to be entertained by one guest to
wards another. S.

Hatred Of Administration Economy

There is great rush of lobby-agents, spec
alators and schemers at Washington to get
hold of the surplus in the Treasury, some
$25, 100000. But President Pierce and his
Cabinet have seen to it that strong guards are
placed about the money, and that the surplus
can only be disbursed on system of the most
rigid economy. This is the secret of the hard
things said of the administration originating
in the corrupt atmosphere of New York CITY,
This is the same city that sent delssaton of
merchants TO demonstrate with Gen jackson
when he was welding his sledge-hammer on
the U. S. Bank. The old General sent them
homo. with rough hint that he ''took the re-
sponsibity." We rejoice that President
Pierce is treating them in much the same way
A Washington correspondent of the Hart
ford Times says: rt o...-.
Perhaps the unyelding opposition on the
part OF the administration 10 all schemes for
the unconstitutional or improper use of the
public funds has served to draw out the ope-
cratoFs-to induce them to work more boldly
than they otherwise would; for they are be-
ginning to show their hands. 1t is the in1ex-
ible opposition of Mr.. Guthrie the Secretary
of the Treasury, to all the schemes of these
plunderers of the public money, from the big
gest to the most insignificant, which has called
forth denunciation of that officer on the part of
certain newspapers and politicians of New
York. The true secret of their hatred Of the
man whom the President has placed at the
head of the Treasury lies in the fact that he
cannot be induced to countenance any of the
projects brought forward under various spe-
cious pretexts for the purpose of lining the
pockets of their originators out Of the public
purse. He keeps firm grip on the money
chests and can't be made to let go. For this
faithful performance Of his duty he is as
sailed with bowls of execration by the parties
interested and the journals (some of them pro-
Tossing to be democratic) in their influence
For very similar reasons Mr.. Marcy, the able
Secretary Of State, has been denounced in the
same quarters. t an.tf"

Printers to Congress.

Mr.. Armstrong, of the Washington Union,
the organ of the administration, was elected
Printer to the House by very large majority.
On the occasion Of election of Printer to the
Senate, coalition was formed between the
wings, free sellers and few democrats who
thought best to divide che printing, to defeat
Gen. Armstrong in the Senate. Consequent
ly, there being small Senate, many Of the
democratic Senators being absent, Beverly
Tucker was elected Printer to the Senate by
vote of 81 to IT. Mr.. Tucker is editor Of
the Washington Sentinel, "a paper considered
in the interest-o the New York .hafds," and
an opposer of the administration.
No sooner was this result brought about
than great hurrah was raised by the wings
and hards in New York about opposition to
the administration in the Senate. Outside,
it appeared a little serious. But since the
facts became public, the Boosting grows beau
tifully less. The wings were SO anxious for
Tucker that they had no candidate. All but
one went for Tucker, and even Chase and
Sumner, the free soilers, joined the adaman-
tine. conglomeration and went for him too
Their object was, anything to give a show Of
opposition TO the administration. Free Soil
ism, Whiggery, and the "hards,'' what a rich
coalition What a feeble show of opposition

Sandwich Islands.

Il A correspondent of the Boston Post, writ
ing from Honolulu under date of Oct. 23d,
says the new U. S. Consul at that port gives
great satisfaction in his public duties as well
as In his social relations. 1t was disadvan-
tage to succeed an officer so able and so popu-
lar as Mr.. Allen; but Mr. Angel has sus-
tanned the trial admirably and won golden
opinions
A steamer, called the Arrow, was daily
expected to arrive, to be employed in towing
vessels into the harbor of Honolulu, and ply
Ing between the different islands. A steamer
Is also to commence regular trips between San
Francisco and Honolulu On the question Of
annexation this correspondent says:
g 1t seems to be generally conceded here
and at home that these Islands ought to, and
must belong to the United States. The only
questions are how and when. 1t is TO be
hoped that the United States government
Will continue to pursue the liberal policy
which has hitherto marked its intercourse
with these people; and in all negotiations
will guard their rights against the sagacity Of
adventurers and the designs of bad men.
1t should be remembered that there is al
ways danger Of fillibusters from California and
elsewhere, who though they might ultimately
be driven away would complicate the question
very much and possibly stimulate the Hawaiian
government to appeal for protection to Eng
land and France
The interest of the United States and of
these Islands plainly points TO annexation, and
che sooner this manifest destiny is accom-
Plished, the better it will be for all parties"
Of the bad luck Of the whaling feet the past
season, he says:
The business season here has fairly COM
menced, and the whaling fleet is coming in
fast Many of the ships from the Arctic have
done very little this year, but those from the
Ochotska Sea have been more fortunate. The
bad success of the Arctic ships is attributed
more to the fogs and ice, which have abound
ed this season, than 10 the scarcityof whales
Well informed men predict that in three OF
four years the whales will be DESTROYED in the
northern seas to such an extent as to make the
fishery yalueless in that quarter. Indeed the
relentless pursuit of the Yankees must at no
distant day put an end to most of the whales,
and with them to the occupation of the whal-
er. New Bedford, New London and Nan
tucket must make vegetable or lard oil, or
give up their brilliant calling of enfghtening
the world" f.arE .ls-~

Cuba.

II is reported, on the authority of the Wash
ingion correspondent ef the N. Y. Tribune
rather questionable, that new expedition fol
the invasion Of Cuba is preparing at New Or
leans-to san abndt: the middle Of February
and 10 be commanded bya General who ha.
gained IaureIs in Mexico. The expedition
will CONSIST Of 900 men. Although we want
to see the tyrannical power Of Spain crushed
sooner the better, we don't believe the story,
as related by the Tribune correspondent.
But Cuba is coming soon. tits no use to
evade or disguise the matter, at The proper
time that beautiful island must be ours. II
the change can be brought about by diplomacy
and purchase, we shall be better satisfied than
TO be obliged TO fight for it.. The key TO the
Mexican Gulf is too important to be left much
longer ia possession Of an old crumbling, seedy
despotism in Europe. The following extract
from private letter dated Madrid, Spain, Nov.
8, published in the Boston Times, looks prom
iSingly towards purchase :--lel-H a..i ri -gi
" In my last letters / have impressed upon
you thai the question Of Cuba is misunderstood
in the United States. Too much importance
has been placed upon the idea, that the inordi-
nate pride of old Spain would be an almost in
superable objection to the acquisition Of that
much 0verrated island . Before Mr.. Soue' 8
arrival here. 1 had come to the conclusion, that
with fair display of sagacity, that object Of
his mission might be obtained. Tam certain
of it now. Itis question, mot Of pride, bnt
of income, and our Minister, with his polished
and skiful diplomacy, united with a personal
bearing charming TO the Spaniard, will find It
easy To present and arrange this affair Of Cuba.
Indeed, the only point about which he need
entertain any fears, is The difference between
what The Queens Government gets now, and
what he agrees to pay /; for these old fashioned
people in Spain, here, understand how to make
one pay as well as some others who boast of a
higher condition Of morals. After tedious and
most dIligenl investigation, my impression is
that the income from Cuba accruing to the
Queens Government is very much overrated."

Election of Speaker Bovd.

PelIicoddle,' Washington correspondent
of the Boston Post says =
The reelection of the Hon Linn Boyd to
the speakership ELECTS pretty general satisfac-
tion the country over, as token that General
Pierce has the full and hearty confidence Of
the house, and, with but very few exceptions,
Is to have the hearty support of democratic
representatives. i''a
Before the caucus it was supposed that Mr.
Boyd would have met serious opposition on
| the ballot of Monday, but the caucus itself
showed pretty clearly how the matter wonld
end. TWAS also said that the friends Of some
other candidates, when they found themselves
hopelessly outnumbered, would at once range
themselves on the side of opposition to the ad-
ministration. No such prophecy is likely to
be fulfilled. On the contrary, there is even
less of soreness perhaps than at the opening Of
any previous congress-. This is readily ac-
counted for. The President, without any ex-
ecutive act really deserving reproach from any
quarter, had been assailed in his own party by
disconnected few in a manner entirely new
and contemplate. The whole country was
indignant at the low-bred and unmerited in
suits to the chief magistrate, and the whole
democratic party felt that itself was insulted in
the person of one who was their spontaneous
and triumphant choice. This feeling repre-
sentatlyes brought with them here from every
district of the country, determined to show in
the organization of the house that no one should
hold prominent position who was not willing
to allow the President at least fair play. -
There was very little to choose on this score
between the more prominent men who were
eligible to the Offices of the house. They
were might say all, to man, kindly dis
posed toward the executive So that mere
personal predictions being lost sight OF in the
greater feeling there was no room for heart
burning afterward. 2AsH
