clothed with responsibility enough to have the
laws executed on the one hand, and bear the
consequences of their attractions on the other
All these executive officers, these Commissioners,
and Superintendent, and heads of departments
who have deiied public resentment for years, and
quietly gone on making their own fortunes, must
be swept away, and their duties entrusted to men
whom the Mayor shall appoint, the Aldermen
ratify, and the public judge. II, then, the streets
are uncleaned, or the taxes unduly increased by
wastefulness, we shall have public officer to
look to-the Mayor-who can avenge US with
safety: he can dismiss the offending official and
put q new one in his place. If lie fails to do
this, the law will provide proper course for his
impeachment.
Until such law is passed, no good citizen
should cease to impress upon the mind OF the
public and the Legislature the necessity for a
change of this character.

Tar MEXICAN COUNTER EXPEDITION AGAINST
CrBA--In another column win be found lettcr
from Senior dc Gonzales, in reply 10 the comm
nicaiion which we published few days since
from one of his countrymen in reference to GER
tain Mexican Generals now In exile in this city
With the exact degree Of the completely Of the
latter in the recent movements against President
Comonfort's administration we have nothing 10
do: we leave that to be settled by our CORES
pondents who arc better informed as to the facts
than we are. The point Of most interest TO ne in
the controversy is the confirmation, which we OBJ
tain on al sides, Of The fact announced by rs
few days since Of the preparation Of an expedition
against Cuba by Comoniort by way Of a counter
move against the projected invasion Of Mexico by
the Spaniards. Senior Gonsalcs intimates that,
Notwithstanding the harsh measures which the
Mexican government has adopted towards them,
the distinguished cxiles to whom he refers are
eager TO serve again under President Comonfort
IA this Cuban expedition and indeed the project
seems to have excited greater degree Of enthu-
sia.m amongst all classes Of Mexicans--even
amongsi those most hostile TO the present gov
eminent than any scheme which has as yet been
started in connection with the affairs Of that
country
Between the Spanish and English dcmonstra
lions against Mexico the Mexican expedition
against Cnba, and the threatened hoetities on the
part Of England against New Granada, to say
nothing Of the little impromptu diversions which
General Walker may get up in the meanwhile.
We are likely to have lively time Of II for the
next twelve months OF The Southern coasts Of our
continent. These movements in fact, promise as
pretty a complication Of affairs as any which has
taken place in Europe for the last half century.

ern confederacy or the absolute control of the
government President, Cabinet, Congress, fo-
reign and domestic policy, spoils and all. We
have seen enough to believe that these nulIifers,
who would tramplc the win OF the people under
foot if spoken against them in the election Of
Fremont, would not hesitate to betray the PEG
pie in the defeat of Buchanan, should it be
deemed most expedient for the ultimate object Of
disuDion.
The responsibility is with Mr.. Buchanan. If
he lends to these nulli6ers he ia lost. If they
forbear now to press him to the wall they viii
surround him with all their arts and appliances
before he is warm in his chair, in order to secure
the control of his administration. Should they
permit his election it will be but work Of
grace. He may, however, by few plain words
in his inaugural address, relieve himself of this
whole pack of Southern disturbers of the public
peace, and do much to quiet the apprehensions
Of the country concerning the Kansas rufian
policy of extending slavery, and the Ostend
manifesto. He has but to follow the example of
Gen. jackson with these notification gentlemen
and they will be as impotent for mischief as
under Mr.. Calhoun in 1928. The Union and
the constitution, in all their length and breadth,
including free white men : rights in the Terri
tories, is the only ark Of safety for Mr..
Buchanan Standing fast to this sure
platform, he may mmortaize his admins
trstion, demolish the republican party, and re-
build the democracy upon basis at once solid,
national, conservative and permanent. But if he
bends to the nuli6ers, his fate will be worse than
that Of poor Pierce, and his party, even now or
lis last legs will be utterly destroyed.
The position of our political affairs at this
iuncture, viewed in any light, is a critical posi-
ton. From the Developments daily transpiring
around u.s. the crisis is full Of dangers to Mr. Bu
cbanan, his pay, and the country and before
reaching the Inauguration the democracy may
yet have to encounter more trying and difficult
scenes than any through which they have passed
in the late campaign. Is Mr.. Buchanan strong
enough to hold the helm We have our hopes,
bnt we have our fears. Weswait further advices
from the South.

FRENCH .iIFARs.-It is evident that without
some startling change in pubic affairs, the En-
pe.or Napoleon will soon find himself the target
Tor an onslaught from the English press, such a.
befen him at the time Of the coup daat The
tone Of the London Times has beer altering for
some time: it is nothing like what it WIS during
the war: though it has not begun to attack the
Emperor personally, it does not spare his intimate
friends aud advisers, and evidently thrashes him
over their backs. Now, to suppose that the
alliance can subsist with the great organ Of
British opinion in opposition, and in attack Of
the Emperor, is unwarrantable we may be GER
tain that when the Times resolves to fall on, the
government Of England, whatever its wishes
may be- will be forced to throw the French over
board, and to prepare for squalls. 1t looks very
much as though the Emperor was walking in the
trace Of his uncle, and had just signed bis treaty
Of Amiens
One thing ought to be apparent even to the
duIest counsellor Of the Emperor: and that is the
utter futility of hope of shutting out the truth
by gagging the press and shutting out foreign
journals. Here for some years now we have had
the journals Of Paris SO tongue-tied as not to be
able TO discuss any law or political question,
foreign or domestic, or the household Of the
Emperor or religion, or finance, or the
embarrassments of Spain, or the Italian
diffculty-al these topics were forbidden
and the Emperor, having the power, en-.
forced the prohibition. But what is the con
sequence? The London Times becomes the organ
of the French people. Articles, cut out Of It's
columns, travel all over France in envelopes,
and defy the police: when 1t arrives in Paris
crowds run to the cdbinds de lecture to read 1t OF
hear il read. Frenchmen learn English in order
to understand the only journal which tells them
the truth about their own country. The old ma
tional prejudice iswholy wiped out; for Il is from
an Englshman and in the English tongue that the
French receive the only reminder Of their man
hood the only encouragement Of better day to
come.
II Louis Napoleon were trile sbrewder, and
more original in his despotic measures, how east
" he could meet the British press on one side
and give little rein to the French on the other,
byreviying a little anti British feeling In France
A few hints would soon set the French editors
Cabling: by the end Of the week they would BE-
rampant for war with England This would sa-
tisfy the French people, amuse and scare the
EDglish--thus rendering both nations harmless
and docie for the time being: and It would II
vert from the Emperor and bis government an
opposition which may yet cost him no slight es-
ertion TO overcome.
