ie Inteor and other fossils have found great fault
with the paragraph in the Presidents inaugural address
which declares that attitude as nation and our DO
ston on the globe render the acquisition of certain
possessions, not within Jurisdiction evidently i'm
porant for protection in the future and for
the Of the Of the States and the
peace Of the work. They regard this pointing directly
to Cuba but 1t will bear such Interpretation. 1t al
ludes 20 the sthmus of Tehuantepec the possession
which the President regards important to the
mercial interests of the United States. it had mea1t
the acquisition Of territory, it would have been worded
very differently and would have been necessary at the
time to have struck out several previous
in tho address Mr. Mason the Chairman of the Senate
Committee Foreign Relations is very desirous Of call
ing the Tehuanepec question up, and nothing but the
want of quorum will prevent its consideration next
week. Tho Senate will probably sit all next week.
understand Governor Marcy don't like the HERALD's
course towards him. He says 1t has been abusing him
for lifetime If the Governor will only stand well up to
the rack perhaps old may be rubbed out BY
the way his Department requires sweeping Out of the
whole forcc OF sixteen clerks there but two demo-
cra and those at the lowest salaries The chief clerks
of all the departments except the Interior and Treasury
wings.
So far, almost oil the appointments have been made
upon the dctation Of members of Congress Where the
delegation of State agree, the subject has been
passed Thus the only California appointments
made have been by the consent Of the members, and
where they disagree the matter remains undecided The
endorsements Of private citizens to be below par
learn that Mr. Kennedy, of the Census Bureau,
removed to day, and Mr. DeBow editor Of DeBoiOs Re
! pieac, appointed in his place.
Nearly all the appointments SO far have been made to
fill vacancies caused by resignation expiration of COM

/ GEN. PIERCE's VIEWS ON OUR FOREIGN RELA-
+ TIoNs-YOUNG AMERICA, ETC.
WASHINGTON Feb. 18-9P. M.
appears to be generally understood, this evening,
that Mr. Buchanan is certainly decided for England
HenryA WISE of Virginia. for France and Mr. soule of
IL uisapa, for Spain.
Mr. Buchanan, some of his most intimate friends say,
will not accept his mission but will doubt be highly
gratifed at such complimentary recognition Of his
| claims upon the confidence Of the administration,
whether he accepts the appointment or declines it.
Mr.. Wise, whose presence here affords strong cir
cumsantial evidence of his reported appointment to
France may be considered indebted for this high
compliment to several important consde eratons. First,
the desire of Gen. Pierce to render some return fer
the leading voice of the Old Dominion in his behalf
at the Baltimore Convention secondly, he may wish
to furnish a striking example Of concilation to the
Virginia democracy and thirdly the President doubt
less thinks Wise a proper for the position and as
| having redeemed his past eccentrcties and for
himself substantial claim to the fullest confidence Of
the democratic party. All this may be so but If so,
what will Old Bullion say2 If he grumblcs at the ee-
vaton Of Gen Cushing to the cabinet will he not growl
at the appointment of Wise to France, and thus give
the cue to the OLD Bourbons for disturbance in the
! family OF course, he will.
Pierre soule for Spain, though Frenchman by natu-
ty, cannot fail of giving general satisfaction. He is
good Spanish scholar, well versed in Spanish history and
Spanish diplomacy his and address those Of
gentleman schooed in the highest circles of pol.eness
and what is better still he is profound believer and
safe but earnest disciple of the doctrine of manifest
destiny" Young America has great faith in him, So
am quite sure has Gen. Pierce; and with equal positive.
may be said the interests of country at the
Court of Madrid will not retrogade in the hands Of Mr.
| Soule
! Hon. Emanuel b Hart left here for New York this
norning-throueh ticket. Gen. Walbridge and Mike
| Walsh have been too much for him; but how the thing
done cannot say 1t is enough that they opposed
his appointment for Navy Agent of New York. and that
he hcs gone home without it, Some trouble may yet
grow out of it.
Il. Brdsall, son-in law of Mr.. Dickinson it is
Gdeny said is the foremost for the New York Navy
Agency. But this little sop win not satisfy the hunkers
They stick most strenuousy to their demand for Col
lector They say they must have him there will be
rumrus but Msrcys hostility to schell Is considered
/ rather bad for Augustus.
Of one thing you may well assured-Gen Pierce
