DPAs the Salt River question, now,
is ofsome interest to politicians, we give
the following brief description of it, writ
ten by Bayard Taylor.
RowED UP SALT RIvER.-Salt River,
where it debouches into the Ohio River,
is not more than fifty or sixty yards in
breadth, butvery deep. It's never ford
able, even in the dryest seasons; and, be-
ing navigable for fourteen miles above its
mouth, has not been bridged at that point
Wedescended its steep end difficult banks,
embarked our carriages upon flat ferry
boat, and were conveyed across.
The view, looking up the river; was
very beautiful. Tall elms and sycamores
clothed the banks, dropping their boughs
almost TO the waters, and forming vista
of foliage through which the stream curv-
ed out of sight between wooden hills. l
longed to be rowed up it,
While on the spot took occasion to in
quire the derivation of The slang political
phrase, "Rowed up Salt River" and sue
ceeded in discovering it, Formerly, there
were extensive salt works on the river,
short distance from its mouth.
The laborerS employedin them were a
set of athletic, belligerent fellows, who
soon became noted. far and wide, for their
achievements in the puglistic line;-Hence
it become a common thing among the
boatmen on the Ohio, when one of their
number was refractory, 10 say to him,
"We'll row you up Salt River" where,
of course, the bully salt men would have
the handling of him. By natural figure
of speech, the expression was applied to
political candidates, first, believe; in the
Presidential campaign of ls4O.-Bayard
TaulOr.

France win pursue the policy Of England. Our
commerce will bind them both to keep the
peace with us. And yet, the object of Soule
(under Dudley Mann's delusive policy, adopted
by Mr.. Pierce to begin with,) appears to have
been as much directed to quarrel with France
as to rupture with Spain; as If France,
through the Empress Eugenie, were in the joint
possession of Cuba with Queen Isabella Hence
those duels, those curious official travels of
Soult, the Ostend Conference, and the affair at
Calais. Sorry, indeed, has been the wild goose
chase Of Soul6's mission, and pitiful the imbe-
cility through which he was betrayed, aban-
doned, and recalled.
We think it best that the shrinking and
vaeillating weakness of Mr.. Pierce has, in the
end, succumbed to the old fogy pacific couusels
of Marcy. Spain will not sell, and we are not
quite ready for war. Congress have refused
The ten millions ordered by Dudley Mann, and
those war steamers are getting on slowly. Aud
we concur with the Charleston Mercury that
if, instead Of sending filiouster to Madrid, we
had detailed the most pacific and acceptable
diplomat in the United States, the result
would have been the same, from the simple fact
that Cuba is not in the market. Soule's has
been laundering, eccentric and lamentable
mission from first to last but the fault, we re-
peat is not his. He was but the instrument of
a weak, kite flying, treacherous and imbecile
administration.
Soule has been faithful to his principles.
Had Mr.. Pierce stood faithfully by him, our
flibusteros might now be singing songs
among the orange groves Of Cuba instead
Of lamenting the disbanded volunteers of
General Quitman. It is better that Marcy
has prevailed but this does not absOlve the
administration for its treachery to Soule
Consequently, we approve the suggestion Of
the Charleston Mercury that Soule by the Sc
cessionists should be received with open arms
and we also approve the procession contem-
plated upon his return by the Cuban Junta
and red republicans of New York. The occa-
sion will give to their hero glorious opportu-
nifty for full exposition Of the double deal
ings and receptions which have resulted in his
misfortunes and his recall at his own request.
In the interval, the debates in the Spanish
Cortes, and the London, Paris and Washington
disclosures of Souie's diplomatic career, re-
quire by Congress peremptory demand for
all the papers and correspondence in the State
Department touching the Ostend Convention.
Soule may not return until the adjournment of
Congress. Meantime, considering that the
purchase of Cuba is out Of the question, let us
have the Ostend papers from the State de-
partment.
