Democratic Prospects-GeneraI Pierce's
Cabinet,

Every thing is calm and quiet in politics-wait-
ing for the process of crystalizaton. 1t cannot be
denied, however, that there different opinions
entertained by the representatives of the different
sections OF the Democratic party, in regard to the
principles which ought TO govern the Cabinet ap-
pointmens of the President elect. There are those
who believe that Cabinet only be unit
when it represents one and the same principle and
that no other composition can do more than fur
nish compound fraction. There is logic Of
events as unsParng and rigorous as that applied
to abstract propositions tx - Democratic CORE

Much idle gossip has found its way into the
newspapers touching the dismissal of the Nj
caraguan Minister. 1t is not worth while to re =
produce 1t for the sake of denial or refutation.
On such point, we apprehend, there is no
reason to believe that Mr. WEBSTER or Mr..
EVERETT could have mistaken what was due
to their own character or that of the Administra-
ton. We annex corrected copy of Mr.. Eve
RETr's note to the Nicaraguan Envoy:

WASHINGTON, December 80, 1852.
siR: You are probably aware that, some months
ago. Mr. Kerr, United States charge d'affaires to
III government OF Nicaragua, was instructed to
request that you might be recalled, and that some
other person might be appointed as the represen-
tatiye OF Nicaragua near this Government.
d spatch was yesterday received from Mr.
Kerr, transmitting copy of letter to him from
Mr. CASTELAR,, Minister of Foreign Affaires, in
which he declines, on the part of the Nicaraguan
government, to comply with the Presidents re-
quest, and expresses wish that the reasons on
which 1t was founded should be set forth in order
to their being submitted to the Nicaraguan cham
Der.
IL cannot be necessary to say that this course
would be followed by discussions of the most dis
agreeable and Improbable character; besides that,
the President cannot consent that any condition
whatever should be attached to the compliance of
the Nlcaraguan government with a request war
fanted by the most familiar principles of the public
law, and the practice of civilized States He has
therefore directed Mr.. Kerr to renew the request
for your recall, and the appointment of another

Inform you that no communications can here
after be received from you the Nicaraguan

ductor of public press, is to make known pur-
pose, which has long been avowed by me, of with

sincere, thankful spirit, my great obligations te
my fellow citizens of Massachusetts for the honor
which they have voluntarily conferred upon me
and for their reiterated testimonials of confidence
in my fidelity. sss
The only suitable requital for such expressions
OF opinion is an earnest, assiduous, faithful dis
charge of public duty; and my greatest regret il
that my health has too often proved inadequate to

Mr. Wtbstfr to the Count de Sartiges

The undersigned has the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of NJ &c Sartges's note of the 23d in
slant, together with the copy of the instructions
from M. de Turgot, the French Minister of For
eign Affairs, to M. de Sartiges, bearing date the
3lst ultimo.
There is no doubt that M. de Turgot has justly
described the course of policy which has influenced
tie Government of the United States heretofore
in regard to the Island of Cuba. It has been
stated and often repeated to the government of
Spain by this Government, under various admins
tratiops not only that the United States have no
design upon Cuba themselves, but that if Spain
should refrain from a voluntary cession of the
Island TO any other European power, she might
RELY upon the countenance and friendship of the
United States to assis her in the defence and pre-
servaton of that island. At the same time, it has
always been declared to Spain that the Govern.
tuent Of the United States could not be expected

ter Of course that it had been distinctly foreseen
by the Count Amanda. then prime minister OF
Spain, as long ago as 1888 But those mo-
mentous events but the for erunners of new ter
ritorial revolutions still more stupendous. A dy
nastic struggle between the Emperor Napoleon
and Spain, commencing in 1908, convuIsed the
peninsula. The vast possessions OF the Spanish
crown on this continent vice royalties and captain
generalshps, filling the space between California
and Cape Horn after another asserted their in
dependence No friendly power in Europe at that
time was able, or, if able, willing, to succor
Spain, or aid her to prop the crumbing buttresses
of her colonial empire. So far from it, when
France, in 1923, threw army of a hundred
politics, England thought it necessary TO counter
act the movement by recognising the independ-
ence Of the Spanish provinces in America. ze
In the remarkable language of the distinguished
minister of the day, in order to redress the balance
of power in Europe we called into existence new
world in the west, somewhat overrating perhaps
the extent of the arrangement in the whole world,
and not doing full justice to the position of the
United States in America or their influence on the
fortunes of their sister republics this continent
Thus in sixty years from the close Of the seven
years. war, Spain, like France, had Lost the last
remains of her once imperial possessions in this
hemisphere. The United States, meantime. were by
the arts of peace and the healthful progress of
things, rapidly charging their dominions and
consolidating their power. The great march of
events still went on. some OF the new republics,
from the effect of mixture Of races or the want
of training in liberal institutions, showed them
selves inca able of self government The province
of Texas revolted from Mexico by the same right
by which Mexico revoted from Spain. At the menu
orable battle of San Jacinto in 1885, she passed the
great ordeal of nascent States, and her indepen-
dence recognised by this Government, by
England, by France, and other European powers.
Mainly peoped from the United States, she sought
naturally to be Incorporated into the Union the
offer was repeatedly rejected by Presidents jack

Mexico. At last the annexation took place. AS a
