L
Inc following are among the resolutions adopej
ReSotued, That the doctrine which would eyelnIo
our elow-cizens of foreign BIRTH or any particular
religious sect, from all the equal privileges of the
American Government, is dangerous TO the bes, in
erests, glory, and power of the nation and il is i;
violation of the true spirit and intendmen of the
Federal Constitution. ~
ResoiUed, That the administration Of President
Franklin Pierce has been directed with a single eve
10 the true interests of the people, and that the Pro-
sidents enlighed approval of the recent leosa,;on
of Congress for the formation of the Territories Of
Nebraska and Kansas, proves him TO be Chief Mao
istrate, imbued with Just principles of Constitutony

AFFAIRS IN SPAIN-The London Globe saws thai
spirited letter. with which Lord Howden has backed
new clam, preferred upon the Spanish Government
by the English committee of landhoders has revived
hopes in that country that had been deprived almost
to dependency.
The Globe, however, is not blind to the financial
difficulties of the Spanish government. 1t SAYS:
sit finds an accumulated deficiency of g65OOOOO
sterling, considerable for SPAIN al the present
day. 1t finds the revenues confscated in all direr
tons by the reckless and INSCRIPTIONS conducl Of
previous administrations ordinary revenue the
tobacco, the tribute from Cuba and Porto Rico, the
income of the PHILIPPINES, the mines sc.
The Queen Mother is scarcely disposed of, ere =
new conner presents fresh form of an old question.
Mr. Daniel II. Sickles, the American Secretary of
Legation in Eng land, left this country about month
ago, and was announced in America having re-
turned with dispatches from the American Minis.
ter in Spain 10 the President and the nature of the
channel for the transmission of those dispatches &C.
casoned some remark on the other side of the At
lantic. We believe we are not incorrect in saying
that several recent circumstances have strengthened
the view Washington that the conduct of the local
officers at Cuba is unwarranted by any laws of inter.
national intercourse. Without expressing any opin-
ion on the question at issue, we state simply tact
that the irritation in the United States is consdera
BILE: and that strong pressure is exerted upon the
government. The purchase of the island from the
Spanish Government is a sub ject Of common and i'm.
patient discussion. Mr.. SickIes, we believe, takes
his departure from London day for Madrid"
The New York Herald says that lively apprehen-
sons entertained at Paris lest the Spanish pertur
batlons should disturb the French and English ALI
ance. The United States and British Ambassadors
were favorable to the outbreak, and since the triumph
Of the insurgents, their influence has predominaed
over that of France, which, for hundred years past
has been predominant. Consequently, Napoleon IS
said to be jealous. Moreover democratic move
ment at Madrid will be felt in Paris.

general and particular respect by decent and eacea
BILE demeanor; by remembering that, as new citizens
or inhabitants of these United States, common mo-
desty and decacy should operate to prevent us from
bringing ourselves, by brawls or otherwise, prohl'
nenty or VIGOROUSLY before the public by ever bear
ing IN mind that sufficient employment and far re-
Enumeration await the sober and industrious, and inaI
merely a competence for the support and educallo'
OF our families is within our reach by rejecting anu
DeheVlng that no true American will ever deny IT,
spect gratitude and attachment to him (of whale'e
country who deserves it by honesty, peaceful man
ners, and unring efforts at advancement; by atich

A GRoGNDLEss Fuss AGAINST Mr.. SoULE.-i"F
french imperialIst newspapers are making great IG
ana parade over the alleged interference OF W.
Soue In the affairs of the Spanish Government
We have not the slightest idea that he has done any
thing that he ought not to have done; and Il ~
should turn out-which we do not believe-that hO
manifested, in some way, his sympathy with the llv
eral party in Spain, he will have done no more !",
