THE NEWS.

4AAE NEWS
By the arrival of the last steamer we are
placed in possession of news from every quar-
ter, and We neglect our local matters, in or
der to place before our readers as fair state
ment as our columns will allow u.s. of the af-
fairs transpiring in the world around.
'. In the political worldswe find everywhere
Fstrange and unprecedented phenomena aris:
ing, which like the waves of the lunatic ocean
seem rolling on, wrecking party fleets, and
sending down to utter destruction the crews
which have hitherto 80 gallantly manned
them. The political faith of the age has be-
come corrupted, and the old party lines are
denied by those whose exaltation has been
the result of a former union. Such men as
Clayton and Bronson, are leading off the off
spring of strange anal carnations. and leagued
with error, are forgetting every preconceived
opinion, as in their blind speculation for Of
fee. they cry forth their wild and uncertain
bids. We cannot deny all, alleged by Judge
Bronson. as regards unjust treatment but.
does it well compare with his previous his
tory, to receive nomination at the hands OF
party, who herald forth their own apostacy
in the following resolution.
"Resokved, That the PI resident of the Uni
ted States by his unwarrantable interference
with our own local politics-his palpable and
alarming interference with State rights, and
his uDjustifiabie and undisguised use of his
patronage to control our State elections-has

glance to the Constitution, aud his duty to
the country; has alenated from his Admin
istration majority of those in this State who
cast their votes for him in 1852
IN the Wing ranks, there is the same strange
proceeding. and we ind Mr.. Clayton, improv-
ing in his old age upon every instruction, and
with bold unsparing hand striking from his
creed all matters likely to interfere with his
prospects in 1856. He holds up his hands in
pious horror, at the idea of giving any pro-
lection to those whom we have invited to our
shores, and shows himself firm, anti-Repub-
lican, as he proposes his crushing amendments
to just and righteous measures. AS the ad-
vocate of such inflated ald bigotcd move
ments, SO disastrous to all sensible aud liberal
policy, be hopes to ride on to place and pow
er.
The bill providing for the establishment of
Telegraph between San Francisco, and the
great cities of the Atlantic board, has passed
the Senate by large vote, and we shall soon
be able to convey items Of intelligence to our
friends 5000 miles away, in forty minutes.
This may we'll be considered one of the great
est improvements of the age, and then in the
words of al exchange, 'panjcs and crazy
speculations viii disappear together when
this is once established, and the merchant
who has forwarded his draft, and the miner
who has sent for his wife may sleep in peace,
and pursue their avocations in quiet undis-
turbed by stupid confus;ons Of sinking ships
and crazy reports of mercantile suspensions
The California postal bill, which in addi-
tion to other matters provides dead letter
Office at San Francisco has been passed by
Congress; also the river and harbor bill, ap-
propriating $4,000 for the improvement Of
San Diego river. 1t is however feared that
the latter bill will be vetoed by the Presi.
dent.
In the doings at San Juan del Norte We
see plenty of Eumbug, but the evils Of fill.
busterism are fully known, when we hear
from the lips of any man, language like the
following.
THE people of the U. States have become
notorious for fllibusteriSm, which ought to be
pnt down, whether exhibited by the captain
ot. a national vessel or mere band of marau-
ders or adventurers, or whether the chief OF
bis subordinates are drunk or sober. If the
United States Government are too feeble or
too unwilling to restrain such outrages, then
it behooves those nations whose territories
may be subjected to the predatory excursions
OF American freeboters-on the principle o!
fproteetion-to do it for the Federal Re
public. This ought to be the special mission
OF England and France, whose West India
possessions are open to the attacks of the A.
mericans, and who have enunciated the doc
trine that it is their du.y, as it is their incl
nation, to preserve the balance of power, and
to protect the weak from having their terri
tories invaded by the strong, whether in the
Eastern or Western Hemisphere"
In another column will be found a shor
account Of matters as proceeding at the sea-
ofwar. AS yet everything seems in erpecto
and the bump of destructiveness has not fully
developed itselfin its action upon the Russian
ports and armies. The allies are less valor
GUS and less boastful, and Napier instead o
blowing up Cronstadt, remains before it il
line of battle.
