Washington sentinel., 1854-07-23
"IMPERIOUs SPAIN HAS YIELDED TO
OUR JUST DEMANDS FOR FORMER
AND LATER INJURIES.

The Washington Union, of the 10Th instant,
in its highly ornate and rhapsodical article on
q the administration Of Franklin Pierce" uses
the above language.
A grave organ of the government, for such
is the reputed position of the Union, cannot be
too cautious in its statements. Its laudations
may be unstinted and cxtravagant, but its
statements Of official transactions should be
well weighed and entirely correct.
Any one seeing the above announcement in
the Washington Union, would at once be led
TO suppose that our difficulties with Spain had
all been amicably, satisfactorily, and definitely
adjusted, and that we had received ample apol.
ogies and full compensation for the insults and
injuries received at her hands.
But this statement is altogether unfounded.
Our negotiations with Spain are still pending,
nor will we rashly undertake to predict the
issue of them. She has not yielded 10 our
just demands for former and later injuries >
She has made no apologies and offered no re-
paration.
~~'~SSSS hno IL ubSo ucCu auOWtu W tilt
minstrel, and latitude to the professional eulo-
gist. Such is the only claim that the Union
can put in for the protection Of its inaccuracies
from the utmost severity of criticism and of
censure.
There is strong desire in the public mind
to see our difficulties with Spain brought to a
speedy termination, but Spanish delays, like
Spanish arrogance have become proverbial.
We would respectfully suggest to our contem-
porary little more prudence, circumspection,
and accuracy in its statements Of grave official
transactions and international negotiations. Il
viii certainly be time enough to announce that
our difficulties with Spain are settled when that
settlement shall have been effected
The Union in its insane desire to magnify
and exalt the President has more than once
made itself ridiculous. 1t does the President
injustice, when It represents him as having
done what he has not and cannot have done.
The President, if we rightly understand him,
will not thank the Union for such nonsense
