Nor so VERY DUBIOUS AFTER ALL
Daniel E. Sickles, who figured ns MIR. Buch
anan's Secretary of Legation ut london, and
is now one of the leading national Demo
Gratis" of New York, said, in II late speech at
Tammany Hall that he never could make up
his mind which party he dslked most, the
Black Republicans or the Know Nolhings;
but, ifhe was ever reduced to the necessity
of choice between them, he toould not hes.
itate 10 record his rote against the Know Moth
ings! This will do pretty well for state
of uncertainty. We rather think that il Mr.
Sickles could SUCCEED 10 making up his mind
and speaking it ont he would record himself
downright Abolilonist There can be 10
doubt of il. And MIR. Sickles is undoubted.
ly the fairest specimen Of irrational Demo-
crat" that New York or the North can pre-
sent. Such are the men whom Southern
Democrats extol as the buwark and last
hope of the South.

every one is familiar who knows its locality.

WHAT SPAIN is AFTER IN THE GULF
The New Orleans Bulletin, in commenting
on the announcement of the arrival of COM
missioner from SAINT, Anna at Madrid, says:
We have had n suspicion for sometime
past that thi, whole war.like Juror on the
part of Spain against her whilom daughter is
attributable in part at least to cause en-
tirely different from that which has been
given as the origin of the difficulty. We
may bs at fault il our surmisings, but il has
frequently occurred to us that the principal
reason which mas induced Spain TO assume ii
brligerent attitude against Mexico is the
pretext it would give her for sending large
'rrni"rcem.nts to Cuba for its defense
agains, any designs that the American gov
eminent might be supposed to have upon it
without awakening the suspicious OF, or sub
jecting itself to THE necessity of answering
any annoying questions from our Cabinet-
1t can scarcely be supposed that the Spanish
Court has forgotten the fact that Mr.. Buch-
anan signed the famous Ostend manifesto
or the uudisguised purport of that document;
and it is reasonable to infer that thu said
couFt wished to be prepared for any sudden
contingencies that might occur. a flare up
with Mexico on paper upon any trllling cir
cumstahce would give the Spanish power II
fine prctrXt to send additional forces to Gu
ba, which it has actually done. This would
give time for Mr. Buchanan's foreign policy
to develope itself. Assured OF the pacific
character OF this, the Mexican affair could be
at once arranged, the Spanish honor soothed
and satisfied. II, on the other hand, that
policy should appear Ostendish, the sever
faithful Isle" would be in as good condi
tion al defense as possible. Meanwhile, IL
good understanding with the virtuous put
rio, S,nor Santa Anna, would not be amiss,
ana 1t the Cortes co3Id help nm 10 cn"het
to rrpenish his exchequer from the National
Treasury by his agreement to unite cordially
in their favor, why all the better, Of course.
