ONm MORE, AND THE LAST Tnn-We are
induced to advert once more to the Butler and
Barr dispute, in justice to General Webb, Of the
Courier, who has been unwittingly dragged
into the controversy. Referring to the obser-
vstions made in the Courier on this matter,
that paper says =
The article, like all which preceded and all
which followed il on the same subject, and like this
present one was written In the absence Gen. Webb
from the city, without his procurement, and without
the least knowledge Of II his part prior to its ap
pearance In this paper. II was written by one who
has been introduced to the public as his associate
editor-by one who has never seen either Alderman
Barr or George B. Buter-who knows as little and
cares as little for the the other-who had never
exchanged one syllable with General Webb on the
subject of the affidavit anything connected with
i-who had never read the affidavit heard it read,
and who penned and published the article purely at
his own instance, without the cognixance of any
body, and solely from desire to do service to good
cause.
So that, after all, Gen. Webb is not party
to the black conspiracy which has been or
ganized to crush Mr.. Geo. B. Butler. How lucky
for Mr.. Butler
But only look at this =

The article in the Journal of Commerce, rejecting

menced an action against its editors.

The SENATE AND THE SLoo CoNTRACT.-We
understand that the United States Senate will
most probably adjourn sine die on Monday
next-that the first class foreign missions will
be held over-that the Monroe doctrine will be
suffered to remain in statu quo ante bellum-
and that nothing will be done on the Honduras
question. 1t is pretty certain also, that the
question concerning the Tehuantepec route will
be left at the mercy of Santa Anna. Therefore.
upon his return to absolute power. his simple
ipse dirit will determine whether his original
Garay grant or the Sloo contract shall be con-
irmed. The United States Senate ore evidently
resolved to throw the whole responsibility into
the hands of Santa Anna.

Der of the Union branch of the democratic par
ty. He has. however, been defeated as can
didate for the United States Senate, in one or
two instances, from want of harmony with
the State rights faction.
His present appointment to Central America
he owes to fortunate conjuncture of peculiar
circumstances. He had been brought forward
by some of the Union faction as their candidate
for seat in the cabinet. as Secretary of the
Navy. But the State rights wing of the demo-
cratic party being in the ascendancy in all the
cotton States of the South. that appointment
could not be made without their concurrence
and they did not concur. The ease might have
been different had Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, a
State rights man, accepted the State
Department. But, with his declination, his
wing of the party would be content with
nothing less than Jefferson Davis as Sc
cretary of War. This acknowledgment, how
ever, and the still more recent appointment of
Mr.. Campbell to the Supreme bench. from the
Alabama and Louisiana circuit-an ultra South
ern Rights man-made it necessary, on the
part Of Gen. Pierce to give something to the
more imperative from the fact that Mr.. Downs
Of Louisiana. after having failed Of re-
election to the Senate. thought that he was
entitled, as the representative Of the Union
branch Of the party, to the vacancy in the Su-
preme Court. and was earnestly pushed by his
friends for that desirable place. Hence to sa-
tisfy the Union wing the selection of Mr.. Sill
dell to Central America. But how this il to
satisfy Mr.. Downs we cannot divine And
here we may as well remark, that not only Mr.
Downs. but Mr.. Cobb and Col. Clemens, and
Gen. Foote, appear to have been sacrificed by
their late movement all over the South in con-
junction with the wings, to save the Union. For
their disinterested patriotism, they have been
set aside like Gen. Cass, among the broken
crockery, while the wings of Georgia, Missis-
sippi. Alabama, and Louisiana, have carried off
the profits of their late coalition.
But Mr. Sldel at least, il saved from the
