honor, where is the chivalry when, like spaniels'
our young will lick the hand that scourges, and
think honorable to pay tribute in return for insult
and reviling"
The Examiner disapproves of the recent rule OF
the Court Of Appeals, limiting arguments 10 t~o
Aesrsaad half, and thinks it will work badly.
The Examiner approves of the conduct of the
President in the matter of the Black warrior, ana
fayors the idea of repeating all neutrality laws as
regards Cuba and leaving that island to the mercy
of fiilibusterism proper punishment for the
outrages Of the Cuban authorities upon our com
merce and their cruelties to our citizens.
The Examiner warmly sustains the propriety OF
further subscription by the city to the stock OF the
Central Railroad.
The Uhig comments upon the Homestead Bill ct
Congress with much severity, and deprecates with
much warmth its passage. 1t prouounces it dema.
gogcal, Ubiquitous and hateful-unjust to the South,
and in violation of the Constitution, as it strikes at
the equality of the States II considers that its pas
sage would impair the value of lands at the South,
because If men get lands for nothing, there
will be no demand for land where something has to
be paid for it !; and it endorses an idea of cores
ponden of the Baltimore Sun, that the bill amended
so as to allow foreigners, who have sgnided their
intention to become citizens, the right of entry, will
effectuay nulify the repeal of the slavery prohib
ton in the Territories. The domain will be effectu.
ally secured from Shareholders by the rush of for
eign emigrants. The same writer thinks that abo
iition In Missouri is part of the scheme as when
she shall have $1,000 additional votes under the
Homestead bill, slavery will be abolished there
Indeed, he thnks the scheme is the abolition of
slavery in every State where the Government holds
lands
The Enquirer has leader on the Black Warrior
affair, in which argues that the acts OF the Cuban
authorities and the interposition of England and
France in Cuban affairs, rapidly tending to the
contamination of what appeared manifest early in
the history of our Goyernment-yiz: the ultimate
acquisition of the island of Cuba by the IT, States
1t considers this acquisition necessary for the pro-
lection of the South and for restoring the South to
its proper position in the Confederacy with the
means of protecting its constitutional rights by re.
enforcing " the power OF slavery as an element OF
political control"
The Mail lie also upon the Black Warrior case
1t alludes to the explanation that has appeared viz
that the BLACK Warrior was seized under an old
law which had, mot been before enforced. 1t con,
siders this enforcement, without notice of an old
law, the preceding violations of which had not been
punished, as censurable, unworthy sensible
people, and doubts not the Spanish authorities are
heartily ashamed of it. 1t, however, adds the ru-
NOR that the most ample apology has been made,
and that pecunary reparation had been offered by
the Spanish Government
The Mail cor cludes that, notwithstanding this
there are many persons in this country who are
heartily glad of the occurrence. "They are those
who have been long itching to make descent upon
Cuba and attach her to the United States" They
will, of course it thinks, endeavor to make eau
bell" out OF the Black Warrior case and if thew
cannot do that, it conjectures they will endeavor to
make it the for more illibusterism and agi.
tation.
The Mail considers the object of these men
wholly selfish, and concludes that if it were under
stood that Cuba, if severed from Spain, were to be
independent, and not become part of the United
States, their professions of friendship for Cuba
would soon cease, aud we would hear no more of
that execrable doggerel with which they saluted
Mr.. Sonls in the streets of New York:
1.-THE Antilles flower
The true key of the Gulf,
Shall be plucked from the crown
Of the old Spanish wolf"
The Penny Post opens with a selfcongratulatory
article upon the progress it has made The next
editorial is sketch of st. Patrick and it winds ND
with an appeal in behalf of the new subscription to
the Central Railroad.
