NEW AND IMPORTANT QUESTION
(rRoM THE WASHINGTON STAR.

II will be recollccted that not long since
Mr.. Churchwel, of Tennessee, introduced ;
series of declaratory resolutions into tho
House upon the subject OF the Intervention
Of Governments in the affairs OF other nj
tons. We find that they have come to mt.
tract IN extraordinary degree Of attention
from the public men here, and that it is now
certain that they will give rise, on coming to
be considered in either House, to potracted
and, doubtless, Il very able debate. They
arc strictly in keeping, not only 1th what is
regarded us the temper of the present Admis.
tration on such subjects, but with the accredit.
ed views of the great Democratic party of the
country. 1t is conceived that in disposing
of them, that party in Congress will make Il
demonstration which will from this time
henccforward fix the principle OF sympathy
on the part of this government rnd people
with the cause of sound libcralisn wherever
it may struggle against dcspotsl and also
the principle of prompt and n,rS .i|inr re-
sst,ncc, by force of arms, a.a!r.. am Euro
pcan interference whatever in American or
Amcrcan-Islands' affairs.
The case in point at which these rcsolu-
tions are poised, is evidently the English and
French Interference to assure Cuba to Spain,
under any and all circumstances Of an other
wise successful effort of the Cubans for their
liberties. Il is very generally believed here
that England and France will shape their
conduct, in the event of Cuban revolution,
wholly as they may believe this government
will permit them to act That is, that they
will interfere for Spain, if satisfied that the
United States will permit them so to do with
impunity Hence, as before remarked, the
interest manifested in these important re-
solves just at this time. They are as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of Rep
reseniaiires of Mc GnHcd States of .3merica
in Congress assembled, That the people OF
this Union have ever viewed with the deep.
est concern the renewed intervention of Pow.
crs in the affairs of countries not embraced
within their borders particularly when such
intervention had ayowcdly for its object the
representation Of generous political scntl-
mcnts: and that they will never permit such
an occurrence upon this continent without
physical resistance to it.
ResolrcI, That while the United States Of
America are disposed to observe, in Il spirit
of good faith, international obligations, they
desire 4 sinlar observance Of such obliga-
tons bv all the nations of the earth, and
that they can never behold with Indifference
the obitcration of independent States by 4
third power, because Of the political freedom
of such States.
ReSolrcd, That the Pre- sidcrt be and he is
hereby requested to cause copy of these
resolutions to be communicated to each Of
the diplomatic agents of foreign nations re-
siding near this government, and also copies
/ thereof to be transmitted to our diplomatic
agents in foreign countries, in order that the
sentiment and the purpose o! this Republic
may be neither msconcciynd lSQr misunucr-
stood in any quarter of the globe.
MISTAKE OF AMERICAN Yorrn.-lt is 4
Grand mistake into which many American
Youths fall, that manual iajor is not honor.
aLlc. To be merchant, Il lawyer, Il doctor,
an engineer, Il military or paval officer or :,
sIpmlstcr, is in their esteem, much more hon
cradle than to be Il mechanic or farmer. II
cannot be denied that these other occupations
require cXcriUn. The doctor is oit.timcs
quite as weary when his days work is done
rs the farmer or blacksmith can be; bu: he is
not so sure ofquict sleep as they are, and we
all know to what hardships engineers are
exposed us well as persons who follow the sea.
We often see vigorous young men seek
ing places as clerks in stores. They all hope
(and generally cXpccD come favorable tide in
the affairs of life which will lead them to
fortune
Other men have accumulated vast suns of
money in buying and selling goods, why not
! I! is the language they use They rarely con-
slider that but II very small number of those
who embark ever complete the voyage.
Where one succeeds ten, fifty, perhaps Il hun
drcd, fail.
But an industrious, thrifty farmer seldom
fails to secure for himself and family the COM
mon comforts of life. The sklliul and prac-
tical mechanic, too, is generally sure of re-
munera,ion for his labor, and with common
prudence he can provide competence for
the future.
Extensive NOSE TICKLING.-Every profess
ed. inyctcratc and incurable snuiltakcr, at n
moderate computation, takes one pinch in ten
minutes. Every pinch, with the usual incl
dental circumstances, consumes !: minute ani.
a half. One minute and a half out of ten, al
lowing sixteen hours 10 - 50 ~s.il-takln" day
amounts to two hours and tw ,nty minutes
out of Il natural day, or one day out of ten
| One day out of every ten amounts 10 thirty
six days and half in 4 year. Hence, II W.
suppose the practice 10 he forty years, fou'
entire years of the snuil.takcr's life will bC

ling his nose!
