going tsnys;
There is good reason 10 believe that parties at
The South, in New York and England and posi-
bly, also in France, have combined to control the

this course by the expectation that the cessation
Of the Russian war, cheap brendstuffs and an ca
sy money market in Europe. will produce an nc
tive demand for cotton, and increase greatly it's
consumption. The expansion Of the loans of the
New York aud the Southern bnnks, the large
purchase of cotton already in the Southern ports

stances which j, is not necessary to ennmerate,

When mon from the United States invaded
Cuba, a portion of them were taken prisoners mud
shot by the Spaniards. Then the Locofoco pres
of this country called for vengeance, and
abused President Fillmore for not innieling it.
The rumor now is that the Costa Ricans made
prisoners of twenty or thirty of Gen. Walkers
men, citizens of the United States, aud shot
them in cold blood. This rumor whether false
or true, seems to excite little or no emotion in
the minds of the Democratic editors. Democra.
cy in power, and accountable for its uses, is an
immensely different thing from Democrao, out
of power, aud at liberty to carp and croak.
