marching 10 the tune OF Etielgn betLy TIP
toe hne," and so il was. For, before the hyberns-
tiou over, he was on his march in good truth
to California TO return thence TO the United States
But there was something else which did not Tore
see which was that this military governor carried
off iour dozen of the Mormon Be ~ Martins with
him. TO the infinite distress of the saints Profound
ly chagrined TO find themselves go encroached up
ON by the genties But it the last encroach
ment of the kind. No more of the United States
military have been here since and Brigham says
be has promised the LORD, that if they come again
be will III them so that they will let his Betty Mar
tins alone. And that was the end of this attempt,
by the administration, to give governor TO Utah
Brigham holds on to the place, and Mr. Pierce
stands with hands off and the scsndalous specta-
Gle is seen OF a man assuming TO be governor by
tue will OF the Lord, repulsing the United States
authorities trampng the laws under foot, insult
ing and detyiug the federal government, and no
attempt made 10 reduce him TO law and order.
Such is the insurgent condition Of the polygdmous
Kingdom of the L tier Day Saints. Ali have heard
OF tBis poly gamy-a state OF things at which NOR
atty, decency, shame revolts, aud have been told
how an institution, 80 sbhorrent to human nature
is kept up, and that it is by virtue OF the civil pow
vested III Brigham and his saints, still more than
by his religious power-that there Is enough TO OV
ertuTn the institution, il it not that all civil
power, as well as religious jurisdiction, is in the
hands OF Mormon authorities SO that this admin
irtrstion Is actually responsible 10 the moral sense
OF the civilized world for the present continuance
OF poly gamy in the territory of Utah
Enough for view OF home affairs, and enough
to account for the unparelIel dismission of this
Administration, without the superAdduon of mis-
conduct abroad; but there enough OF that to have
sunk it without the misconduct at home. Never
Was such belIicUse Admlnistration-picking quar-
rels all the time ami every Where-and building
ships and raising troops for the inevitable war.
First, Spain was the power, Cuba the object, and
the Back Warrior the pretext. You have all
heard about that Black Warrior, and how Commo
dore Macauey was sent 10 CUBA with shlps,Ol war
TO enforce redress; and how a Minist was sent to
Spain to demand il For a long time it was inev-
table war on account OF the Black Warrior; upon
sudden it was hushed up, and but few knew how
| Can tell you. 1t was hushed up thus The Min
ster that was then sent TO Madrid went TO Ostend,
after being for months at his station; the Secretary
Of Legation, having charge of the business III his
absence, showed the Spanish Minister Govern
ment dispatch which had been four months on
hand, stating the terms on which the United States
would settle it, Upon the instant the terms were
agreed TO, and that cherished chance for a war
with Spain, 10 take Cubs in self-defense was lost
But, what followed? Was the Secretary who
showed the dispatch, and settled the difficulty,
thanked 10y the Administrations Not at all! H. wa
dismissed the service Was the Minister, whOneVer
showed the dispatch, censured for the omission
Not at all. He carrssed, and continued III
office until be chose TO ask his own recall That
chance lost, another Was incOntnently discovered
Great Britain and France were going TO AtIicanlEe
Cuba. Upon the spot the AircaulZItiOn OF Cuba
became the alarm OF the Administration, and the
war cry OF its adheTents, and a inevitable with
Great Britain, france and Spain, and an all ance
with Ru-sIa i'm he war them became the
burden OF their song. At last Lord Clarendon
heard OF II, aud learned that this alarm was found
ed upon unity of action between England and
France in the Crlmea, and in some mutual cons
plant against Bueuos Ayres. He made the state
ment over again, and declared he was not thinking
ABOUT the United states, or Spain, OF Cu5a NJ the
LIme and so this terrible AtrcauIZi ion OF Cuba,
anu the Russian alliance, followed the melancholy
late OF the Black Warrior catastrophe; ami died
the death Of the ridiculous Then Came the Ostend
Conference, III which the three United States, Min
listers were sent to make platform in relation to
Cuba, which was, III, U. States must take her if
Spain would not sell her-which It was known sne
would not But that was going it too strong; and
the Administration who sent them TO make 1t, dis
approved the work, while approving their conduct
in doing it, By that time the chances war
with spain had out, and seemed to be Loot for
ever, wn,n the chapara Government of w ak r OF"
tered new prospect more encouraging than the
other IL was simply to acknowledge the Govern
ment in the chaparrai, let aid flow to Walker
loothOd be established in Nicaragua, and the in
VasIon and conquest OF Cuba be made by the Uu-
ted States citizens under the chaparral fag. That
play was just commencing when the nomination at
Cincinnati eXtingushed the political life OF its
thors In the meanwhile a quarrel was being
picked with Denmark about those Sound Dues
which, Europe paid before America was discovered,
and which America has paid ever since her inde-
pendence, and by virtue of treaties made by our
most approved administrations Set ting itself up
Tor the lberator of the Baltic Sea, this Administra
zion gave orders to oar IN, rchants TO paving
the dues after the l2gh of April last, assuming the
right to abrogate the existing treaty; the Danish
Government gave notice that it would collect them
as usual, under the treaty; and the Administration
finding out that it had 10 right to abrOgate the
treaty, and besides that Copenhagen was not Grey
town, gave orders 10 the merchants to pay, but to
make protestation to the contrary, and TO the
Danes that the Government would try TO get back
the money; and SO stands this affair, which would
be ridiculous il it did not threaten the peace of
two most friendly nations. And now, why this
QuixOtic attempt TO berate the Baltic Sea ? Ii Is
not sea- it is not appurtenant to continent;
IL is wholly Eur pean; and Europe, which pays the
dues, has precisely rwo hundred times as much in.
terrst in il MS the United States has-sending ex-
actlv two hundred ships to our one to it! Why
{ 70 QuXo ism Simply for uss-tor nOtoriety
-ior thr glory OF war with u small power
How different the conduc, OF real statesmen in
times past Mr. Adams administration made the
DANISH treaty now il force. Mr.. Webster improV
ed il when Secretary of State under Tyler, getting
the dues reduced on our staple articles, and obran
ing stipulation to place on the footing OF the
most favored nation, and to give US the benefit OF
everv reducuOu winch SHOULD be made in favor OF
my other nation. This was statesman hip-cou-
trasting rs sense with fOly-as justice with rapine
with the conduct OF this administration, piy king
quarrel with Denmark to liberate European sea,
aud read, Tor q war TO abolish moderate duties in
the Black Sea, while keeping up enormous duties
ut home, contrary to a public pledge to reduce
them. But enough of this folly and madness; and
those who NAV wish 10 understand the whole sub
eet will fnd il fully but briefly set forth in the
ond volume OF "The Thirty Years View" But
Great Britain is the power which our belicO-e Adj
mus:raiion deem most worthy of their prowess,
aud with which the attempts to pick quarrel are
most lively aud ncessant. She barely escaped a
brush with u on account of the AmericaniZatiOn
OF Cuba; and now we have the Monroe Doctrine,
the Buser Treaty, the Mosquito Coast the Bay
OF Islands the Ruatan Island, the Nicaragua Canal,
the Recruitment Question, and the Dismissal Of
Mr.. Champion. Heavens, what lisd and al the
product OF a few months 10 Il season Of profound
peace. The detail OF these Quarrels is too tedious
10 be gone over, but a notice Of the most promi>
uent will show the folly and insignihcance of the
whole Aud first, OF the Monroe Doctrine, so in
cessantly quoted, aud so ignorantly and mschiev.

virtue OF which the United States are bound to
stand guard over the two Americas, from Canada
TO Patagonia, and Irpulse all intrudug colonies
from the boundaries OF each power IL is assumed
to be doctrine OF forcible protection, and the
Uuted States the protector. The Individual must
know but little of Mr. Monroe or bis Cabinet, TO
