Hurrahl
Beautiful arrangement of Kitchen Cabinet and Wall
street diplomacy Charming compromise How nicely
balanced We give up the Monroe doctrine, and ac-
knowledge the validity Of the Mosquito King; and Eng
land agrees rot only to ray the purchase Of Cooper
Co, but to abandon the entire Mosquito Kingdom and
the surrounding Central American States to the mercy
Of Col Kinneys Anglo Saxon Yankee coonists provided
we don't annex them Pierce looks at Marcy and Marcy

But there two sides to every question; and there
three four to this 1t is said that not only does
this Cooper pur shase disregard the claim Of Nicaragua
but that it touches upon soil claimed by Costa Rica

Such are the magnificent proportions Of the Kinney
expedition complicated and vexng question, which
the diplomacy Of England and the United States has
failed to SETTLE is to be turned by the mutual

Next have to inform you that Marcy has succeeded
in quashing the Cuba platform of the Ostend Convenon
That platform expressly intended to sheye Marcy.
and to put Buchanan forward the democratic Cuba
candidate for 1855. But Marcy has proved than
match for the whole conspiracy against him. He has
smothered their scheme in onions Like tainted turkey
Nothing is to be done upon Cuba except the settlement
Of secondary incidental diplomatic issues. Cush
ing ferocous, JEFF. Davis indignant, F&ney some
what excited but the President thinks 1t best 70 submit
to Marcy for the present Marcy grts his teeth when
he speaks Of Buchanan. He has evidently discovered
that his former Cabinet associate is heading the Soue
aud sicklees conspiracy to suppant him, and lay him
upon the shelf notwithstanding all the reports to the
contrary Mark you, Marcy will fight them to the death,
and break up this Ostend league Of diplomats before
they done with him. He seldom smiles in the White
House. 1t is with him, and he is logged and
wage as the Russian bear His lower jaw is rigid and
fixed and there is devil in him which only miracle
He has the settled and awful expression,
even in repose, of unsatshed bulldog. You may bet
on Marcy.
The old Premier knows all about itthat Buchanan is
the chief Of the Ostend conspiracy of which soue

Wis is reported saying, " that this would be but
sop to the internal abotonists for it would be going
half way to the recognition Of the political equality of
the black with the white races" No. sir, tho copper
complexion Of the royal family Of King Kamehamsha
puts dead stop to the eating of those sandwiches

The same may be said of Dominica. Mrs. Cazeneau
has been buying seaport down there for another
Kinney expedition but the liberation Of the island Of
Hayt in that way win amount to nothing for Cushing,
Is am not mistaken, says, at would be the ddest
folly in Gods world to think Of annexng that bloody
island with its Of free nggers and muattoes
Cushing is Southern ultra niggers. It feared,
however, that Mrs Cazeneau, If permitted to remain
about New York and Washington, would make mis- ,hief
upon the Cuba business; and the Cabinet iudicously
agreed to give this accomplished diplomatic lady the
amusement of carte blanche in the republic Of Domi
