Gevernpma emit and Amcxntion.


WE perceive that the change in the
Presidents countenance towards Cuba
and the Sandwich Islands, &C., has ex-
cited the ire of those who have been
exceedingly dcs::ous for the anncsa
ton Of those charming localities. The
New York San taunts the Govern.
ment with cowardice, and intimates
that our colnmendable spirit Of enter
prise and speculation is held in check
by fear of foreign anger. We find pro.
phecies pouring forth from many quar-
ters, that England and France, when
they dispose of the Eastern question,
will interest themselves in tho affairs
Of the Western world, and show them
selves by no means favorable to the
continued stridings Of the universal
Iankee nation. These predictions arc
either based upon. or are coiroborated
by, significant intimations given by
both governments. Of the extent Of the
alliance between those two powers
If the Presidents course has been in
fluenced by such reasons, it must be
that he has learned, in advance Of the
mails, or is PRESIDENT enough to fore
see, that the Eastern war will speedily
terminate, by the agreement Of the be-
ligerents upon the propositions alrea-
B dy given to the world. The strife will
) either cease now or be indefinitely
protracted. 1t seems to us unrcason-
able to form any other opinion. The
Gar declared himself ready to treat
upon the four points, as they have
generally entitled. Willingness of
the allies to treat, together with
their construction of those ba-
ses Of treaty, has been ere this
communicated to the Car. AL.
most simultaneously with these pacit.
ic motions, preparations have been in
determined progress for more bloc.
dy, than ever, exhibition ut Scba ,ta-
pol, Of the energies Of war. Should
the Cars answer be negative: or eva
sive, the terrible scenes which will
have been enacted in The Crimea, will
inaame Europe to fury deaf to pacific
counsels. The assault rcpelIcd, and
vengeance will be the cry Of every
heart in the allied empires. The as.
sault successful, tho victors will have
but stepped on the very threshold of
conquest, perhaps at the next moment
to lose their footing.
Although our President might law
himself open to the ridicuIc Of some
by his retreating before danger; if
interference with us is to be consc.
quence Of peace in Europe, and if the
President has been astute enough to
foresee peace in the signs Of the times,
we will have higher opinion of his
political wisdom and prudence than
we have hitherto honored him WITH
We admire his staunchncss on some oI
the great Democratic principles but
in some Of his foreign enterprises he
has been hasty, untilned, injudicious,
unstatcsmanlike He has not right
prepared means for the accomplish
ment Of his ends. But on this occas
sion he will have recovered his los,
