It is confidently serted that the Washington Republic

every body. The dssensons of the democratic party
have furnished fuel to It's wrath for the last month II
turns now upon Congress- and discharges full column
of It's classical viiupeTaon upon the House OF Representa-
tves. The reputation OF the dislngushed SPEAKER oil

II Mr. Houston were less viglant in protecting the

The Cuban Question.-Speech or Hon. MI
Clemens, Of Alabama

The distinguished senator from Alabama who has
been detained from his in the Senate for some time
past by ndsposon, yesterday signalized his reappear-
ance in the chamber by the delivery of Of the most
able and eloquent speeches which the very interesting
debate upon the Cuban question has yet elected. In
that portion of his remarks which we had the good for
tune 10 hear, Mr. Clemens without mpugning the wis
dom or questioning the application of the Monroe
doctrine, sets forth with singular force and felicity
of dcon and Illustration, the difficulties in the way OF
any premature and ludged acquisition of Cuba BY the
United States and the advantages resulting from the con-
tnued occupation of the island by Spain. Those who
may not concur in all the conclusions of Mr. Clemens
will ye, recognise the consummate ability with which he
mas presented the whole argument that be urged
sustain them We hope TO publish his speech at length
and in revised FORM in our next issue While adding
TO the reputation of Mr. Clemens OF the eo
quent orators in the Senate, the speech will still more
sgnay rebuke the SANDER which would charge upon the
democratic party, It's prominent leaders, the reproach
of " fillibusterism."

The Monroe Decentralization OF General



The recent discussions in the Senate, upon the occs.

oution offered by Gen Cass have called out express
sions from every portion oil the democratic press
which attest The powerful bold which that doctrine
as a rule Of our public polcy-has taken upon the
mind and heart OF our country. The principle tina,
European powers are not TO be permitted 10 plant
new colonies upon this continent or to interfere in the
territorial relations Of its existing independent govern

at least, as principle Of vital moment TO the main
