TAs Mission to spoin-Mr. soule-Caba-
sManlGest Destiny"
There is nothing more appalling to superan-
nuated conservatism than the terrible and sweep
ing doctrine Of manifest destiny" To the quiet
''old fogy," who is perplexed with the noise,
and rush, and hustle, Of this busy age, progress
is bore, and manifest destiny" the most hor-
rible Of all apparitions. To him. the bare idea
of the continuing expansion Of the superficial
area of the republic, is ever associated with the
piratcal excuses of licensed flibusteroes, the
atrocities Of the first French revolution, and
all the dire confusion of wild agrarianism and
levelling rufians let loose upon society to
ravage and destroy. To inaugurate the doc
trine of"manifest destiny" is simply, to our po-
'litical antediluvians, to
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war;
Something of this alarm is expressed by the
leading philosophers of Sewardism in reference
to the appointment, from the United States
Senate, Of Hon. Pierre Soule, an amiable,
talented, and we'll educated French gentle
man, of Louisiana, as Minister to Spain.
| Our philosophers understand that the sole
condition upon which Mr. Soule consent
ed to accept this mission was, that
he should go over to Queen Isabella and her
! premier, Roncal, with carte blanche on the
| Cuba question: and that this concession, which
has probably been made to Soule, will be very
likely to involve us in a bloody war with the
Holy Alliance To give the highest coloring Of
FEASIBILITY to this fearful idea. it must not be
| forgotten that Mr.. Soule is the especial idol of
Young America-the very pattern of states
man. in the eyes Of George Sanders, of the late
Democratic Rsrie,c-and is believed to be
ready at the tap Of the drum to plunge for
ward to the EXTREMIST verge Of flibusterisn,
He is believed by some to be almost fanatical,
| if not utterly reckless Of the MEANS so that the
ultimatum Of manifest destiny'' is obtained
He is, doubtless, regarded as fraternal sympa-
thizer. on the part Of our philosophers, with
Caravajal and his Texas Rangers, for the spoil
alton of Mexican instigator of George Law
| in his recent manly fare-up with General Cane
do; and especially anxious to drive General
Pierce to extremities with John Bull by driving
out at the point Of the bayonet his new colony
of the Bay Islands, and his more recently estab-
lished colony in the logwood cutting district Of
| Honduras.
| And there appears to be some ground for these
direful apprehensions when we recur to the re-
cent speeches of Mr.. Soule in the Senate on
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in connection with
the late anti-Monroe doctrine proceedings Of the
| British in Central America /; and when we consi-
der the amicable relations subsisting between
Mr.. Soule and Judge Douglas, but especially
| when. as we are informed that the disciples Of
Young America, still hanging about in washing
ton gathered to the residence ofthe new Minister
to Spain, on the night Of his confirmation. and
congratulated him in the Marseilles Hymn and
speeches redolent of the dogmas Of French So
cialism and New Orleans buccaneers Thus,
we can excuse our sensitive philosophers in
their lugubrious anticipations respecting this
important appointment to Spain. To them no
thing can be more atrocious than settled pur-
pose to risk yet a little more the extension of
the boundaries Of the slaveholding States. The
necessary consequence Of strengthening the
South in the Senate, will inevitably delay the
