Alliance with Spain.

1t is stated that some important developments
have lately occurred, showing the full signiGcancy
of Lord Clarendon's declarations in Parliament
relative to their American policy, referring to
which, the Washington correspondent OF the PhiIa.
delphia American says:
" Il is now fully established that an offensive
and defensive alliance has been formed against the
United States for the protection of Spanish inter.
ests in Cuba. The great naval armamenis of the
three powers are TO be used as we'll against US as
against Russia. The next object of the anti.
American alliance is the protection of Mexico.
Santa Anna has received assurances that if he finds
it expedient, at this time, to sell for very large
sum of money, entirely worthless strip Of terri
tory the northern frontier, he shall be compen-
sated by the addition of British Honduras on The
south, far more valuable and important province
to Mexico. For this sacrifice Great Britain will
receive indemnify in the shape of an arrangement
for the ultimate payment of the debt due to her
subjects by Mexico; and, perhaps, will even re-.
ceive portion of the money pay able by the United
States under the Gadsden treaty."
The administration, it is SAID, is we'll satisfied
that the nsolent proceedings Of the Spanish au.
thorIties in Cuba in sezing the Black Warrior
to be attributed to their confidence in the sup.
port their conduct will receive from England aud
France.--iSOuth Car0linlan.

The BiHin the House.

The Washington Star says :he Nebraska bill
will certainly pass the House by minority of at
least thirty votes The hopes of its opponents are
with the New York Hards. The editor says:
AT present we are not prepare to say how far
the enemies of the measure will succeed with the
Hards, some OF them talk as though eager to
punish the South,' (in voting on It,) even if it
shall be requisite to stHItify themselves to accom-
plish that object We must be permitted to add,
however, that place higher estimate upon
their character men and their intelligence as
politicians, (of the Hards,) than to suppose that
they will faunt in the face OF the world the proof
that they have been all along "shammng" in what
they have said and done upon .he slavery question
since 1852, which they will be doing in voting
against their declared principles, on this the first
real question which has come up since they separa-
ted from the Administration, on the ground that its
afinities too lreesosh for their taste or as.
sociation."
The Star says it is we'll known to all in Washing
ton, that so far the Administration are concern
ed, the President has time and again intimaied in
the broadest terms, that he regards the position of
gentlemen this particular bill as the test OF
support OF the Baltimore Democratic National Con.
venlion Platform.

Labor i'm Its Divers Forms.

1t is a striking fact that in this country there is
more sentimental gIoriication OF labor and other
industry than in any upon the face of the earth !;
yet nowhere are labor and industry less recog-
missed upon that basis which belongs to them by the
fundamental nature of our system. Having lib.
eral laws they cannot be ignored, for they have
power which protect itself. Within our
Legislation they find influence through the depend
ence of the legislators upon their votes. But out
side of this influence the power of the artisan is
small.
The result is natural, perhaps, for there being
no distinctions OF rank among us, each man, with
significant weakness, tries TO raise himself above
the necessity OF labor; and in this pursuit he cuts
himself in all ways, as much as possible, from an
association with it.
Il falls out thus that in country in all the
world is there more prevalent appetite for what
is commonly called aristocracy. The laws make
no distinctions, and each man-the weaker he be
The passion is the more potent-srives to make
his own distinctions.
The fact has been noted by foreigners and we
suspect no sagacious man can fail TO see it.
Suppose now that presently these tendencies
should have fair vent-might express themselves
without hindrance. The result would be that the
workman would fall immeasurably in rank, and if
then the laws did not sanction the gaps between
The social positions, there IS no truth in history.
We believe there is less Of this tendency within
the south than the north hut even here there is
enough of 1t to make the discrepancy between the
merits OF labor and the assumptions Of those
whom fortune has raised somewhat above il very
conspicuous.
Is this not strange? No! II is human nature;
but not human nature in its best phases. Why,
the motto of country should emblazon the
glory of labor and nothing else-for it is this
which has made it what it is; and it will fail to be
great just as the influence of labor ceases
TO work out IN the future what il has worked out
in the past. The gnoniny of our citizens should
be that not uncommon boast which ignores labor.
1t is no relief TO say that fools and upstarts make
this boast. The fools only shape into audible
forms what is lying in vast mum ber Of hearts.
The worker himself should consider these things
NOT to embitter his feelings with them-but TO
make them spur to his own elevation. Let him
read, study, look into affairs and see how they
tend. Let him acquire knowledge and virtue, and
his own influence and importance in the world
will need no help-no concessions Of presumption
to weakness.-noJ.le Tribune.

AARON BURR's W1FE.-1he Paris Patrie Of a

Lil1lenRSS.

We notice several of our Whig contemporaries,
il, speaking of Gen. Dockery, refer to his canvass
with Hon. G. w. Caldwell in a manner as unbe-
coming gentlemen as it is unwarranted by the facts.
SInarting under the ashings of Mr.. CALDWELL they
allude TO him in contemptuous terms, and advise
US to ask him about Gen. Dockery's "strength OF
intellect and firmness of purpose" Mr.. Caldwell
is not now in the field aspirant for any post
and these contemptuous and contemplate illusions
to him, show how deep is that party rancor, which
has grown desperate in this, its final struggle.
But to show how little reason Wings have TOR
boasting OF that canvass, it is only necessary TO
state that Gen. Dockery was elected by maJority
of 1000 votes in district usually giving from
5000 to $500 Wing majority. cause must be
in bad way when a loss Of only so per cent Is
Dragged about.
Mr Caldwell is a talented and influential MEM

cause it can do so with ImPunity. 1t is compti-

~ We entirely concur with our friends Of the
Richmond Enquirer 10 the following remarks on
the subject of the public lands:
{" The Public Lands. In disputes touching the
disposition Of the public domain, originated those
contentious which ultimately overthrow the Ro-
man Republic. The divisions and sedItions, 10.
mentcd by the guilty ambition OF The Gracchi and
provoked be the agitation Of the agrarian laws,
introduced the more terrible convuIsions which
proceeded the establishment of the Empire.
II seems that this same question Of the disposi-
ton Of the public lands threatens our own republic
with fate not less disastrous than that which be.
iel The great commonwealth OF antiquity. With
US are found men with all the ambition, but with
out the gifts and accomplishments Of the Gracchi,
who make Of the public domain an engine of po-
pular agitation and sectional division. Whether
our own public lands are sought TO be consecrated
to Jree.SoiI to he education OF the INDECENT or the
support Of the insane, in either the object
not the good of humanity but the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF profiIgate demagogues. And every measure yet
suggested for distribution of the public lands
with reference to these indefinite schemes of phi.
laGhropy, is equally at war with The spirit of the
Constitution and the welfare OF the country. Es-
Pecialiy do We regard the bill which rallies sup
port with the specrous agaran cry of" land to the
landess," as The most unprincip!ed and pernicous
measure yet bred in the prolific brain Of dema.
goguism. ......
or less, bat scarcely less mschevous tendency
is the proposition TO squander the public lands on
schemes of local Improvement. We rejoice TO
find that The system OF /" grants to railways has
recently sustained blow from which it will not
recover, at least during the present session of
Congress. The miscarriage Of the Minnesota
bill determines the tate of other schemes of like
character"
