The Eaeairer has an editorial upon the negota'
ton with Spain; concludes that, from present In
formation. the Black Warrior affair Is as far as
ever from a settlement; and says it seems to be
understood that the Spanish Government is endea'
vorng to transfer the negotiation to Washington
with the hope of getting better terms than Mr.
Soule is willing to concede. The Enquirer sus
scs.s that perhaps the idea of a Commission grew
out Of an intima,ion of the Court OF Spain oil an
unwillinpness To treat with our Minister, and is
sure that the President will not assent to such an

with small sprinking of Democrats, who really dc
not understand the nature OF the organization te
which they belong" The Wing says these organi
cations have sprung up from Boston all the way
down to New Orleans; aud thinks it requires some
other material at these Southern points than /" Nor
thern Wings, freesoilers and abolitionsts" TO say
nothing of the requisite "sprinkling of deluded De
mocrats"- to get up Know Nothing party.
