WI. Herald.
If So what becomes of the promise of the Know
Knowings to discard old party hacks? Col. Gentry
has been beating about from pillar to post since
1850 and at last finds himself among the Know
Nothings. All right He is in congenia company; ;
and ditto, to many of the same stampede party
hacks-in this State. Look, for example, at Mr.
Loring one of the leaders of this and danger
Gus organization in this State First, believe, he
sustained Adams in 1924-then he for Jackson
then for Van Buren--next he went to extreme
lengths the Banks of this State and disorganzed
so far as he could, the Democratic party; then he
retired from the Standard and became an indepen-
dent-then he turned Whig-then again he became
commercial in his views, and now and then vio
lenty Southern Rights and now, having been every
where and upon all Sides and standing in awful fear
of the Pope and of the poor prosecuted foreigners
who are driven to shores by the hand of despo-
tism in the old world; he falls full length into the
arms of the Know Nothing party, which is at this
day what the old federal party under the elder
Adams. Misery of this sort makes strange compan-
ions-for Mr. Loring and Mr. Rayner
in the party, Whereas some four or five years
ago they were strongly at points personally,
way of announcement and excoriaton. What next?
Hurrah for the party which rejuvenates old party
hacks, and would have the people believe they are
better and more honest than those who have never
been engaged in the strfes of politics!

EXCITEMENT IN CUBA.

The latest intelligence, by way of New Orleans.
is to the effect that Cuba is in high state of
element, all the ports having been put in state of
blockade, and an urgent proclamation issued order
ing the enlistment of all volunteers between the
ages of Is and so, capable of bearing arms.
The whole island is, therefore, in state of seige.
There were rumors that several companies of gov
ernment troops had revolted and it is quite certain
that number of the first of the island had
been arrested and thrown into the dungeons of the
Moro.
Recent intelligence from an esteemed friend in Ha-
vana confirms the foregoing.
An expedition from the United States-in def
ance, of course, of the efforts of our government
made in compliance with treaty obligations with
Spain-is said to be lowering the coast Of Cuba.
Gen. Qutman, Col Kinney and others of distinction,
are said to be at the head of it.

~ The New York Herald concludes an article
the subject of the rejection of the nomination of
Judge Loring as a law teacher in the Harvard Uni
versy Boston, as follows Judge Loring, it will be
recoected, acted United States Commissioner in
returning the fugitive Burns to his master; and it
for this that Gov. Gardner and other abolition
Know Nothings refused to confirm him in Profess
orship in Harvard. The Herald says
Retaliation from the South is of course to be ex-
pected. Independently of the feeling which so gross
attack on Southern institutions is sure to engen-
der, the at the South who desire to give their
a liberal education will not send them to in
situations where by precept and example diSobedi-
fence to the laws of the land IS inculcated. They
may be ready others to admit imperfections in
our Statute Book, and anxious to see them cured :;
but they will not allow their young men to be taught
that when they dislike law they may openly deride
and violate it. The general admission of such a
principle would in time put emf to all society :;
and whatever progress MISUNDERSTANDING make to-
ward thai end, the South will have no hand or part
in the disgraceful work.
We ought, perhaps to exonerate the former from
responsibility for the acts of Harvard College. All
experience teaches that college men, like churchmen,
unsound guides in matters of politics? They
other. They read Plato, but ignore Calhoun :;
recite Isocrates but disown Jefferson know all
about the slaves in Athens and Rome, but are quite
unconscious of the working of the system of slave
labor in Virginia tell off the laws of the Twelve
tables on their fingers ends, but have never read
the laws of the United States: can solve the pro-
blems in Algebra, but connot answer the simplest
question of modern politics. 1t is not reasonable to
expect these men to act wisely when they travel
beyond their sphere Many western farmer is
far better politician than the professors of Harvard
