the American Government contends with fllibustsr
ing bandits. 1t conquer' BY proclamation IsM-
rests the embsrkatiSn Of pirates by officially az

Tie. for new worlds to conquer. We restrain
them beautifully in the sbstrsct-tbe Msrshsls, and
the District Attorneys, and the District Judges,
and the District GIaud Juries do an immense deal
Of business in stopping them, and do not stop them
after all. They snap their fingers at US, ard so de-
part ever the salt sea.
A certain element Of strength is esaentia! to the
respecfability Of every Government, of whatever
Dsture it may be. II the gentlemen who manage
matters fox US at Washington wish to be beloved,
or al least esteemed by the People of the United
Slater, they must make slightly vigorous demon
stratiop. To be sure, we all the quiet fellows
who stay at home and mind whatever business has
been left US BY crisis and convulsisn, expect TO
love- honor and obey the powers that be. Weare,

Mr.. Buchanan, and regard the Cabinet with feel
iDfs of the profounde,t consideration. But our
regard is not of the smallest consequence in the
premises. No matter whether we love not wisely
but too well, or whether we love wisely Qor

too well, our passion will not put down fllbustsr
ing. What the Government needs 10 d. is not to
fascipate u.s. but TO frighten the buccaneers. Here
it makes signal failure; for no matter how sterny
il storms, it is always gseled ct BY the entsrPris-
irg pirates, who 60 out Of our hsrbOrs without

Lopez; so went Walker upon two occasions and
so be is threatening to do upon third. That is to
say great criminals laugh this great Government
to scorn, and turn up their noses and elevate their
eyebrows in very presence of its highest judicial
power.
OF all sublime speerers at the Buchanan Govern
ment, commend % to a certain W. r Henry who
dates bis letter on Sunday (upon which day the bat
tie Of Waterloo was fought from the bloody local
ity of Powder Horn" which letter ia printed 10
The San Aasonio Herald which 10 "worked off,
we believe, under the shadow Of Fort Alamo.
How much does w. r. Henry care for the power
of the Federal Government, or for it's powder, or
for its leaden hail. or for its iron rain Not the
one thoussudth part of a couple of snapshot the
fantest aroma Of the weakest of Dutch schnapps-
not the meanest bogus copper of the Kreutzer de-
scripton imported BY swindlers to put the citi
gems of this Republic upon the wrong cent. Why,
w. r. Henry is bigger power than the President,
the Lieutenant Colonel, the Secretay.at War, the
kffovney. Coneral.n1 psrf,cuJsr tho Judoas nia

from Gen. Walker" Walker is the potentate
for bis money. He informs US that "the boys are
" beginning to come ina juvenile recreation
which it would be pleasing to witness. Aud just
notice how disrespectfuy, and in what positively
,hShiDg manner he speaks Of the august ruler of
his realm!
"Tell those who are willing to join us in the expsdi.
lion not to be blufed off by the hostile appearance of
the great man at the White House. He ia only joking
about stopping us il is merely for buhcombe But 1t
cessoDist from this date and there will be two hun
dred thousand Of like spirit with myself, in the
Southern portion of the United States"
There you bave it Mr. Buchanan is actually
treated like Mr.. Briggs, or Mr.. Bloggs, or
Smith, or Jones, or a Thompson. Mark the
searching irony of the words, &C. the great man at
the White House, Lueus non tucendo-gyeat
becsuse he is 90 little! Observe the iniqaitOus
disrespect with which bis official acts are treated.
Why, when you come 10 applying such low,
mean, odious word as "blufiDg" to the solemn
acts of Mr. Buchanan, where are your Where is
our Constitution and your Religion, and where arc
our Affairs and yeur Free, and the other little ar.
suggestive of permanence and COM

have said "gas,ing or "huubuggiug.
Well, perhaps be meant all that. Perhaps he
meant that P. Buchanan had been indulsiog in
diveIti,emens known vuigarly as blowing" Per-
haps be was not frightened by the apprehension that
fleets and armies would be sent out TO restrain
the too ardent invaders of Nicaragua. We do not
think either that he need be thrown into con-
vulsions Of terror He knows how to do il, dOeI
W. R. Henry. Let the reader prayerfully ponder
the dread significance Of the last sentence quoted.
Should Mr. Buchanan interfere to prevent piracy
and needless, cruel, absurd shedding of blood, I,
w. R. Henry, am q SecessiOnist, 60 out. Two
hundred thousand of like spirits g, with me-
There will be general breaking up of everything.
This will be enough to put . cataract over each
Of the Presidential eyes. Henry is interfered with
Henry secedes; do. 100000. That would settle

if Henry were to 60 OUT Let Henry have bis
