Since the National haeugencsr has been striving to
produce the impression that the President intends to pre-
cipate a state of things which may render war with
Spain inevitable have observed on the part OF certain
correspondents writing from this city, assertions TO the
effect that his cabinet divided in opinion upon ques
tons relation the action of the Spanish authorities IN
Cuba submitted for their consideration Distractions IN
the cabinet BEEN far the staple commodity OF anon
ymous and irresponsible newsmongers that Il did not
either 10 inquire about TO notice this rumor
until il seemed be taken up serious matter by re
spectacle papers remote from the seat of government thus
promoting the yeacers evident object to excite alarm
For the disappointment relief of these papers after in
quiries (such rarely make) we enabled to say
that all of this character utterly groundess
The President has neither contemplated taken any steps

able TO do so The administration believe, has
inclined TO have organ. So far us its domestic policy is
concerned it speaks through its acts and in relation to
foreign diplomacy it publishes upon the call of the repre-
sentaves of the people what it has done We take just
every other free press may take its avowed principles
and its performance Relying upon the first we have
felt that with American impulses likely
go widely asay The only party in the country which
gives its fay the breeze and which has any principles
it is willing to avowhe only party which holds up the
doctrines of Jefferson Madison, and Jacksonhe true
sentiment of that party, gives better idea of what
this administration is likely do than anything which the
relation of organism would confer and this have neither
sought held The only relation of this press to the
administration is that the latter does not find fault with
sentiments and that have found occasion to dis
approve of its We have believed and do believe
in its fidelity to the platform upon which the representa-
tiyes of the democracy of the nation avowed their willing
ness to stand the Baltimore Convention of 1852 Hth-

cepted but wish to say for ALL that there is
patronage of the government which hamper opn-

MIR. POWELL THE ARTIST.

We are glad to see that the estimation ex-
pressed in this paper Of the high merit Of the
fine work of art representing the Discovery
of the Mississippi by De Soto," has been con.
frmed by the vote of the Senate and the House,
allowing Mr.. Powell an additional sum Of two
thousand dollars above the stipulated price.
The appropriation, passed at late hour of the
night, was voted almost unanimously by both
branches Of the Legislature. We must add
that this unprecedented compliment paid to
the cultivation of the fine arts in this country,
is as hattering to the man whose talent
elected the reward as to the enlightened mem
bers who believed it their duty to grant it.
This act of well placed generosity will remain
in the annals Of the Thirty-third Congress as
long as the unrivalled painting Of Mr.. Powell,
now in the Capitol, will exist; and the memory
of the one will live, we hope, as long as the
fame Of the other.
