HALLUCINATIONs OF THE ENG
LISII CABINET,

In looking over extracts from the late
English papers, We find that the British
Government, judging from the tone Of
those journals, which are supposed to
reflect the opinions of the English Cabi-
net, has been led to presume that our
people are against their administration
or that they viii not suffer it to 20 to
extremes, either on the enlistment or
Central American question. The only
authority for this will be found in the
tone of a portion of the American press
towards the President personally. TO
this may be added representations from
Englishmen in this country, that the ad-
ministration, wanting popularity on other
questions, is using this controversy for
effect on the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency in 1856.
A word or two on this point may not
be out of place. The people Of this
country do not seek a quarrel with Great
Britain; but they understand the right
of all diplomatic questions involved be-
tween the two governments. They have
no such craven fear of the cost Of war,
or the mischievous consequences of sus-
pended diplomatic intercourse as to leave
their government, no matter by whom
administered, in false or undigniGod
position, and as to the status of the
present administration at home, the
British government should be careful
not to be misled. The President of the
United States may be unpopular. Our
pcoplc-cyen the mass of his own party
may not desire bis reelection; but he
has the honor Of the nation in his charge.
and, as every man in his high position
it bound TO do, as well for his future
fame, as in obedience to his oath Of Office.
he is now firmly, though with modera-
ton and dignity, maintaining it in all
that relates to our foreign intercourse.
lie has the counsel and pen of an able
Premier, in whose practical sense and
experience the whole country has conf
dence. While, therefore, Mr.. MARCY
remains in the administration, and he is
recognized as the willing organ through
which our demands upon Great Britain
on the enlistment question are made,
and through whom the American inter-
probation Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
is asserted, we believe the great body Of
the people Of the United States will Sec
ond the Administration. At all events.
it will not do for the British Government
to presume upon division of sentiment
in this country, when national honor,
and the national dignity are at stake.

CoNGREss-AGAIN.

VIE readeraqf the ScntiaeZ viii not
arised to fsar that no organization
Of Congress has yet taken place. Week
after week we have had the unpleasant
task Of announcing this fact until we are
utterly Disguised with the subject, and
turn from it with feelings Of aversion
But, as the conductor of public press,
it is our duty to furnish the public with
all the news, and especially the proceed
ings of the Congress of the nation. We
last week expressed our opinion that the
Southern Know-nothings, fearing to take
the odium of directly clecting BANKS
Speaker, have determined to force the
Democracy to vote for the plurality rule,
which would result in that event Ii
this is not the case, why do they not
unite on a national question with the
Democrats and elect Mr. ORR Speaker -?
The Democrats abandoned the platform
adopted by them at the commencement
Of the session, remaining only true to
the great Democratic principles Of the
country, and selected new man for whom
all the friends of the Union can consci-
entiously vote. But the Southern Know
nothing members refuse TO vote with their
Northern brethren, or to join with the
Democrats. They are the smallest party
numerically in the House, and they can
not expect the Democrats to select a
Speaker from their number.
On Wednesday last the plurality rule
was rejected by four majority, and the
day of organization appears as far of as
ever. 1t is shameful waste of time
and an objectionable trifing with the
interests of the country and the rights
Of the people. The fearful results of
secret societies are manifest in Congress.
A majority of its members are oath-bound
members Of the Know-nothing councils,
and are giving practical demonstration
of =" Ame,icaas (Know-nothings) ruling
America"
The Democratic Senators this week
in caucus nominated Mr.. NICHOLSON, of
the Union, for Printer Gen. CAss made
a speech of characteristic ability on our
foreign relations with Great Britain, de-
nouncing her course towards US in Cen
trail America.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS- BY THE
President. The question as 10 the
power of the President to adjourn Con-
gress has been preached in several quar-
ters and we perceive the Union of Thurs
day has an article which should admon-
ish the members of the House who have
spent so much time in the fruitlcss effort
to organize, that if Speaker is not soon
chosen it is not altogether improbable
that the President may grant them leave
Of absence, in order to afford them time
for due reflection and calmer delibera-
ton at theirrcspoctive homes, and among
their immediate constituents, who have
to great extent become excessively tired
Of the farce played at Washington for
two months past. The following is the
Unions article:
"The idea Of an adjournment of Con-
gress by the President was thrown out
yesterday by Judge Crawford in the
course of few remarks submitted by
him on his resolution to elect Speaker
on the principle on which President is
elected by the House of Representatives
each State having one vote. Whom
the suggestion as to an adjournment by
the President was made there was 4
strong manifestation Of approval in the
galleries. As the subject has been fire.
queutly alluded to in conversation and in
our exchange papers, VIC quote the clause
Of the constitution on which the Presi-
dent would proceed in the event of his
adjouning Congress:
Art 2. See. 3. lie Che Presidcut)
shall from time to time, give to the Com
gress information Of the state Of the
Union, and recommend to their consid-
Grafton such measures as he shall Judge
necessary and expedient; he may, on
extraordinary occasions, convene both
Houses, or either of them, and in case
of disagreement between them, with re-
spect to the time of adjournment, he may
adjourn them to such time as he shall
think proper, &c.
1T was in discharge of his duty
under the first branch Of this clause that
the President sent in his annual message.
Ii the necessity for adjouning the two
Houses should arise, he would act ngaer
the last branch of the clause above quo
ted. We hope no such necessity may
arise-indeod, we would prefer to sec the
representatives return voluntarily to
their constituents upon general resig-
rnation. In that event, new House,
not under the impraclicable influences
which now prevent an organization,
would be sent back by the people in full
time to organize by the first Of June"

20 the senate Of Louisiana, by thirty ma
iority, in place of Hon. b. WicklilIo,
elected governor of that State. This gives
the democrats majority of tteo in the
Louisiana senate
The result ofthis election conclusiyoly
shows that know-nothingiam is fast dying
out in Louisiana. Az the last guberna-
torial election Mr. WickliGc carried the
West Feliciana district by majority of
seven. At the special election, already
noticed, the democratic majority in this
district has been increased to seventy

Gov. LigOn and the knights OF the
Dark Lantern.

1t will be remembered that Governor
LIGoN, in his late message, deemed it
his duty, as the Executive Of the State,
to warn the people of Maryland against
the danger Of secret political societies.
For this discharge Of what he conceived
to be his honest duty, he has been uni
versally condemned by the Know-nothing
press and the gallant knights Of the
Dark Lantern in the Legislature, smart
ing under the caatigation-knowing that
their society is secret and oath-bounI-
appropriated the Governors remarks to
themselves, and appointed committee
to investigate the ma er. This reminds
US very forcibly of the course Of the
Massachusetts Legislature, noted for It's
Nunnery Committee, and no doubt it
will emerge from the investigation with
as much honor. This committee called
upon the Governor for all the informa-
ton he possessed of the existence of such
societies, and the Governors response
was promptly forwarded, from which it
appears that he is ready to furnish the
committee with great facilities in their
investigations. They should have re-
membered before they moved in the
matter that in such contest, one free
man can vanquish hundred oath-bound
slaves. We hope that our friends in the
Legislature will urge on the matter, and
if Gov. LIGoN does not make the Know
nothing members of this committee wish
for retreat to their midnight councils,
we are much mistaken in the man.
