SANDERS AND SoULE-TnE OsTEND PLoT-
THs KINNEY sxpETlrIoN.-We see BY our ex-
oranges, that George Sanders. our late Con-
sil at LonSon, has turned up at New Orleans,
" fat and serene" "by way of ST. Thomas,
Jamaica and Cuba, aud especially Cuba" I'm
questicnsbly in this roundabout journey his
object was to feel the pulse of the West Ilsia
Islanos, especially Cuba,n in reference te the
Ostcnd programme Of manifest destiny 1t
is also pretty certain that SaEders has dropped
in ct New Orleans, TO try the soundiDgs among
the democracy there upon the same subject,
end to introduce the claims of Mr.. Buchanan
as the Ostend candidate for the succession, to
The favorable attention of the wire-pallers for
the next Baltimore Convention.
In cooperation with these movements cf
Sanders in the extreme South, Pierre Soule is
shortly expected 10 arrive at this port, fresh
from his disappointmeots at Madrid, and brim-
full of wrath and war against Mercy and the
new peace policy of the administration. Since
the complete abandonment at Washington of
the original flioustering programme of Dud-
ley Mann, we may rely upon it that Sanders
the Cabinet, with a high hand ard outstretched
arm. But if the administration is against
him, and if the Kitchen Cabinet is quies-
cent, what can Sanders do? Let him
look the subject fairly in thelface.
The administration has given up the last
hope of acquiring Cuba and this jewel of its
desires being lost it looks with perfect con-
tempt upon Dominica, throws up the Sandwich
Islands in disgust, and scornfully scouts all
overtures looking to the acquisition Of the
guano'd deposits of the Galapagos group. Cuba
or nothing, in a word, expresses the annexation
policy of the Kitchen Cabinet. And Marcy
having prevented the acquisition of Cuba by
Soule, or the alternative of general war, all
the other annexation schemes, Ringing upon
Cuba, are contemptuously thrown away. What,
to the despairing lover, are all the fairest dam
sells of creation, if the special object of his
hearts desire be lost? Can Wihoff be supplied
withan equivalent for Miss Gamble? No and
there is only one Island of Cuba. Losing that,
what are the Sandwiches to us? Humbug.
Or Dominica? MoonshiDe. Or the equatorial
rocks of the Galapagos cluster Stuff andrub-
bish. Thus our whole fi'ibustering annexation
policy is repudiated with the loss of Cuba.
What, then, is the policy Of Sanders and
Scale? Clearly their only alternative is to fall
backupon the new republic Of the Kinney expe-
dition. In that scheme they may still command
the support OF the Kitchen Cabinet. It is IN
derstood that Solle, on his arrival in New
York, will be received by procession similar
to that which marked the eve Of his departure
hence for Spain-a procession Of the Cuban
Junta, the Order Of the Lone Star, and red re-
publican refugees from Continental Europe
Sanders should be on hand, on that occasion,
without fail. The opportunity will be fine
one for full exposition of all those revolution
airy and filibustering estimates which exploded
with the Ostend Convention. Sanders will also
have learned, meantime, the treacherous sgen-
cies through which Marcy has defeated the
Quitman scheme for the invasion and liberation
Of Cuba. These facts, with the full details Of
our ex-consular and diplomatic consultations
at London with Kossuth d Co., and the pro-
ceedings and objects of the Ostend conference
and the disappointments and insults experienced
by Soule in France and Spain, should all be
laid before the meeting which is to assemble to
do honor to Soule on his return to New York
Nor should the occasion be lost for full ex-
posure of the double dealing Of Marcy with our
Minister from Madrid, beginning with instruc-
tions to offer /" q hundred millions for Cuba in
one hand, or war in the other" and endiAg 10
the untimely recall Of our disgusted French
man, !" at his own request"
We repeat, that Soule's return, and his re-
ception here by the Order Of the Lone Star
and The red republicans will be a fitting oc.
casion for full exposition of all the warhke
schemes and proceedings of the filibustering Os-
tend alliance, and of the accidents and the ways
and means by which Marcy has broken up the
whole plot. To this end, the presence Of San
ders here on the arrival of Soule, will be in
dspensable. All negotiations and intrigues in
New Orleans to give Buchanan the inside
track for the succession will avail nothing,
short of full disclosure of the secret history
OF the Ostend conference. Let Sanders, there
fore, be in New York on the arrival of Soule,
and let Gushing also come up to put in his
testimony against Marcy. Then let all hands
embark in the great liberating enterprise of
Colonel Kinney. OF the whole manifest des-
tiny" schedule Of the administration, of two
months ago, nothing now remains but the
Kinney expedition 1t is the last chance.
