REMARKABLE RESEMBLANCE.


details of the last foreign news has the following remarks
We yield to-day almost all space to foreign and
home correspondence We do so the more willingly, as,
while the able letters of European correspondents present
readers comprehensive view of the Of events
in the foreign world home letters treat fully Of those do
nestle topics which at present loom with mscheyous
pee above political horizon and constitute the chief
points of political discussion The reader will find in these
letters matter for grave reflection He will perceive in them
evidences of desperate game now on foot Tor party or Tor
mercenary objects, both combined in cooperation
with foreign macontents which, unless promptly frowned
down by sound American sentiment, will be pushed by
the gamesters, pursuit of their selfish ends to the
pungng of the country into In the prosecution oil
this wicked scheme resort is had to every species OF
misrepresentation to mislead and influence the hon
est public mind, and prepare it for the dread arbi-
trament of for with will come Cuba, and with
Cuba win the redemption OF the democratic party.
That is the fiatering argument and that the motive
Of the political gamblers But the sober honest body of
the American people prepared to embark in this desperate
game for prize Of to the least such doubtful value
We believe not yet should these reckless ministers Of strife
by artl and exasperang misrepresentation succeed in
stimulating the nation into war; and the long coveted prize
Cuba their hopes, still win it prove unfrunl
prize for them The conquest Of Cuba will be Of about
advantage the party which bids high for it asthe
of Texas the ruler of that day crooked
and false policy redeemed party and if ything
could those waning fortunes for which the des
perate llbusterng game is recklessy played it

We had the bfeigencer, few days ago, talking in the
most stately way of the courtees journalism and the
moderation Of language and yet here have assault
upon the democratic party, and almost directly upon the
administration Astounding in the coarsest epthets and
caunnies But the blood Of the Iegencer is stirred by
the news fatherland" 1t is DESTROYS alone Of

ous to be well with the American party And so is
the London Times which arrives opportuney for the
haegencn. The remarkable similarity between the Ian
guage of the London Times and the Itegencer denun-
citation of the democratic party cannot fail to atten
ton The reader who compares the two will be struck
with the likeness
The comments of the Times against the Ostend confer
especially indignant It treats the Chapelle
letter of Messrs Buchanan Mason, and Soue take and
steal Cuba document much the contrary of the old time
American diplomacy, which, it says plain and home
spun Their declarationthat If Cuba in the possession
Spain seriously endanger internal peace and the exist
of cherished Union then, by every law human
and divine, shall be justified in wrestling it from Spain
the Times thinks most horrd doctrine Of political neral
y, and talks indeed if England had not acted
the theory of taking whatever suited her convenience
where she had the power in all parts of the world The
Times however, consoles itself the supposed extinction of
the old political parties in this country, and looks to the
know nohngs for future which will be to its own
liking, as follows
We trust that in spite of the extravagant conduct OF
many Of the diplomatic agents named by Mr. Pierce, their
power limited and their influence the decline The late
Congress has terminated its abor and its existence and
other assembly elected under order of opinion has
succeeded to it. The members of this body untred
and the principles Of what is termed the nothing
party have vet been in action but far
acquainted with Them prefer them to the schemes OF
those demagogues who sought to supply their internal
weakness by foreign agitation and not without hopes
that the good of the nation continue to hold in
check the folly and violence of its rulers.
