CUBA AND THE Adm lsTRATIoN.

CUBA AND THE ADMIN lSTKAIlON,
II is next to impossible to arrive at the
real state of facts in regard to Cuban al
fairs. We thought yesterday that the report
Of the New York Committee, giving the re-
suit of their interview with the President and
Secretary Marcy In regard to the case OF Dr.
Peck. afforded something like terra f''md,
some solid ground to stand upor. II was SO
improbable that the chairman of commit
tee, who had visited Washington for such q
purpose, would give an incorrect report upon
his return. that we hesitated not to receive it
as the first reliable piece Of intelligence that
we had seen in regard to the views and pur-
poses of the administration with reference to
Spanish outrages. And we are inclined still
SO to considerit. But then comes the telegraph,
on the heels Of the chairman's report, and
throws doubts upon the correctness of that
report in reference to the Presidents re-
marks. Which shall we believer Certain
ly not the Telegraph. 1t sometimes is mac

The American Party.

The following article from the Troy Family Jour
nal, is true
sNeyer before, in the annals Of our country's
history has political organization been placed In
position 30 strange yet 80 secure and firm as the
American party. And when we say American
party we mean the true and genuine lovers ofthcir
country, who neither pander 10 Southern arrogance
nor Northern fanaticism; who, standing upon
broad comprehensive american platform, have
alike defed the power Of the Foreign and Catholic
population, and overthrow the intrigues Of old
political fossils Yet these antiquated ogies have
cndeavored 10 make n cats-paw Of il. In the
South, the Washington Union, Richmond Enqui-
rer and other Southern prints, call Il the aboli-
ton inquiston In the North several leading jour
nails from whom we have right TO expect
more unbiased and intelligent statement charnc-
terize IL as a proslavery movement and between
the two extremes, some people entertain hopes
that SAM may meet with an early burial q.
And is II not strange-this unexpected coalition,
which brings the Northern Abohhonist into close
communion with the Administration party, the
friends Of the Nebraska bill and the opponents Of
emancipation What political philosopher or
prophet, In the days gone by has prognosticatcd
that such elements could ever have combined, In
opposition to an American organizationS What
seer could have foreseen that prominent Anti
Slavery man would have extended the hand Of
friendship across the Senatorial TO the ranting
southern-faced and slavery abetting Douglas in the
common crusade against American meni And
what gigantic mind could have scanned the day,
when the depreciation Of slavery and its attendant
miseries--A' Union saving and it's congenal preten-
sions, could have struck hands together TO crush
American interests and sentimentS Bat It win
avail nothing. There may be, and are, traitors
among us there were traitors in the Revolutionary
war, who betrayed the trust and confidence reposed
in them by the people-but they met a traitors

ends Of all Others and such, cannot Gail Of over

Rey.C. A. Davis.

II will be seen from the Richmond (Virginia) pa
pers that this gentleman, as was predicted, has
turned up in a characteristic connexion, to witt
has jumped pe melr into politics, and is defend
ing Henry A. Wise, instead ofdefendng the Metho-
dists from his taunts. II will be recollected here
that iollifcation Of ofice-holders was had at his
house on the occasion of his beating the candidate
of the American party for the position Of delegate
in the City Councils, by some or votes, ana
by the importation of foreigners into his ward and
he then boosted that he had driven the first nail
in the coffin Of Known othingism."
His letter to the Richmond Enquirer, suppose,
he calls nail number t,coi
Some supposed that when the Reverend Charley
went to Richmond, he would eschew politics, but
many more predicted that he would contrive some
how or other to get up muss as he had done here
and previously in Leesburg
Upon this reverend gentleman's resignation Of
his political Office here, which he had obtained
through administration votes and through the
sympathy Of some Of his religious brethren, who
voted for him against their political opinions, an
election was held to supply the vacancy, and so
changed had his ward become, by reason OF his
utilization with the foreign party, after his election,
that the administration party deemed il advisable
not to run a candidate against Mr.. Smoot, the
American candidatel Were the Rev. Charley Da-
Wis to return to that ward and run as candidate
for Office, he would probably get every Catholic
Irish and Dutch vote, and the votes Of the admin
istration party, Il any now exists there, but not
the votes Of any protsssed PrOtestanfs.
Should Mr. Wise have sufficient influence with
the administration, It would be proper return for
the Rev. Charley Davis's devotion to the cause Of
foreignsm, that he should have foreign mission

DIsaRAcEYuL--The members OF. the New York
Legislature, now on visit to the city Of New
York, dined on Tuesday at Blackwell's Island with
the city authorities The New York papers state
that the most uproarious scenes occurred at the
dinner table.
The Advertiser says: "The closing scenes are
too saddening, too disgracefu to be put on record
Suffice il to say that in spite Of an earnest effort OF
LIEUTENANT Governor Raymond, TO recall the noisy
part Of the company to their senses, seconded by
Governor Townsend, Mr.. Coleman, and Others, the
rowdyism became general; the ladies, alarmed, re-
tired under the escort Of the Lieutenant Governor
an alderman and ex-alderman got into quarrel,
and almost a fight; the company shared the ex-
element the police compelled forcily to quel
the disorder, and the gathering prematurely broke
up in row."
Our readers will remember that this is the same
Legislature which elected Gov. Seward to the q. ).
Senate.
THE New York Evening Post the Oldest Demo
cratic paper in that State, attributes the loss Of
New Hampshire to the mal-administration of affairs
by President Pierce. 1t remarks:
~ " III there was any uoupt ueiorc VI thC PiOoens
state of public feeling in New Hampshire, there can
be none since this election. The State has pro-
nounced itself against Mr.. Pierce's administration
with nm emphasis which leaves no room for cavil.
Nothing could have been more fattering TO can
didate than the vote which New Hampshire gave
Mr.. Pierce at the time Of his election, and scarce
any circumstance we think, could mortify him
more than such reversal of its favorable judg-
mont--such declaration made by his old neigh
-. n ~ -. - in I'm m
two wears he has gambled away the princely in
hertance of popularity with which he entered upon
his official life, ruined and broken up his party, and
caused complete revolution in the political char
acter Of the States which gave him the most effect
ual support There never was man elected to
the Presidency whose public course was more plain
ly defined by the circumstances Of the time, and
more free from embarrassing perplexities, than that
of Mr. Pierce, two years since and there never was
one among them who missed his way 30 deplorably.
The Martinsburg Gazette, which hns been pub
lshed ffty-fve years, has changed hands, and
will be published hereafter by VIM Evans, as the
