The Enquirer of yesterday. has an article upon
tae Navy--ils Importance in maintaining the polif.
zeal power OF the country, and shielding It from
harm and disaster in times of trouble and peril 1t
srenuously urges an Increase of its power and the
Improvement OF its organization. The Enquirer,
upon the subject of Cuba, assumes that the indca.
tions and proofs are such 'that no candid and in.
telsent man" can doubt that the Spanish Govern
ment is vigorously pushing forward its measures
for the differentiation of Cuba. It appeals to the
Federal Government to interpose. and prevent its
contamination, and prevent the repetition of the
scenes OF st. Domingo That event once accom-
piished, it contends that it would be impossible
again to restore order and establish slavery upon
the island-whle the example, thus existing so near
our Southern border would threaten the security of
the Southern States On this subject, the public
mind at the South, it says, is in painful suspense
Mr.. Pierce is with US; it continues, .why is Cor.
gress so backward and timidq.
The Mail, in an article upon the "Presidentia,
perplexities," enumerates the various perplexing
matters which have accumulated upon the hands of
President Pierce Cuba, and the troublesome
matters connected with 1.-THE public lands and
the trouble OF reconciling veto of the Insane
Dill, with the approval OF the Homestead b-the
acllc Rairoad-Santa Anna and the Gadsden
sand banks--Utah, Mormons, and Polygamy-
Lord Elgin and the Fisheries-Mr. Spence and his
unauthorized declaration to Turkey-John Van
buren and the nti-Nebraskaites-Forney and his
corruptions -and certain private household trou.
pies, which are said to exist between Marcy Cush
ing and Davis. To get over these difficulties, it ad
vses that the President partition them off among
the heads of Department, and himself keep gene.
raj supervision of them By this means, it thinks
the programme may be gotten through with flying
colors.
The Examiners leader is upon the passage of the
Nebraska bill. 1t does not consider that bill all
that the South wanted but it embodies Constitu-
tional principles acceptable TO the South and sob.
nuxious to the minons of faction, treason, fanati
csm, nfdelity and abolition" lis passage further
more it contends Exhibits one gratifying fact
never before apparent-A UNITED SOUTH" and
though it exhibits greater numerical strength
among the Northern Abolitionsts than they have
shown at any former period-"it reveals the exist
ence OF a brave conservative minority there, suf-
fcient with the united South TO defend the Constitu
ton from its assailants' While 1t does not hope
that agitation Is to cease for treason and ncendi
arIsm will always find pretexts for manifestation
it nevertheless in view of all the circumstances,
ausurs well to the country from the passage of the
Nebraska bill. 1t adds:
An odious law, enacting Congressional censure
upon the South, has been repealed Our people
may never carry their slaves and other property
north of the line of SO deg 80 min but thew will
have the satisfaction to feel that the inhibition is not
proclaimed by laws which they are sworn and
which as good citizens they are bound to support
The Examiner is again down upon Greeley for
his support of Socialism-another form of slarery
The Wig quotes from the National Democrat a
paragraph, which takes the ground that 'he South
ern Democracy has contributed much to the pre-
sent strength of the Abolitionsm OF the North, by
joining the Administration in the coalition with
FreeSoiers' in trying to crush out the National De-
mocracy." The Wing considers that this language
applies with much force to a large portion of the
Southern Democracy, and as it comes from their
own political party, the Wing commends it to their
attention.
The Post has an article on the Eclipse, and ano.
ther on the value of the Union, in which it quotes
the SouthSde Democrat to prove that the South
bears the chief part of the burthens OF the Gov
ernment, and that the dissolution of the Union
would be more disastrous to the North than the
South This is reasoned in figures by the Demo
crat and the Post goes on to speak OF some of the
consequences OF dissolution. 5E5
