"But the highest attestation of Mr. Marcy's
statesm snship 10 implied in the universal con-
6dence which the people of this country re-
pose in his character and ability. Averse
from rash counsels, yet vigilant in promoting
the national interests and resolute in aveng-
ing national wroDgs-cautious, Conservative,
of ripe experience, indefatigable in labor, and
animated with the truest spirit Of patriotism,
he is q statesman of whom the country may

of HIS character is not Inappropriate at the
close of his service
The Steamer FL Dorado.-Our readers will
remember that, year or two since, there was
loud complaint in this country against the
Spanish authorities in Cuba, on account of the
steamer Ell Dorado having been overhaul
by Spanish man Of war off Cape San Anto-
MO 1t now turns out that there was perfect
ly good cause for this The Spaniards acted
upon perfect information of the history, and
the previous, if not the then present, employ
ment Of the Ell Dorado. Among the rich dis
closures growing out of the quarrel between
Walker and Goicuria, is the fact, expressly
stated by the latter, that the III Dorado was
in the employment of the Cuban Junta of New
York, for the purpose of making hostile at
tack upon the island Of Cuba. Well knowing
this fact ut the time, the Governor of Cuba
acted in his own right in regarding the Ell
Dorado with suspicion, when found off the
coast of Cuba. -

long sustained at the above figures The in
