our Model Administratior,.

of man who for the sake of Office viii re-
morselessly eat his own opinions, that ne
should, after having given his official sane
ton to the infamous creed of Calhoun and
his followers, also hand in his adhesion to
the murderous doctrine of flibustering al
doctrine which saps all the foundations of
national honor and morality and viii ulti-
mately brand us, and deservedly SO, as a
nation of pirates and cut-throats.
Read the following from the Washington
correspondent of the n. Y. Times dated
Oct. 18th:
cit is also confidently, and am quite sat
isfied truly asserted, that the Administra-
ton heartily sympathizes with these con-
templated efforts of the fllibusters. The
recent manifesto issued by General Cass
declaring the right of an American citizen
to expatriate himself, and go whithersoever
he may choose with arms In hand, free of
molestation from this Government, was not
put forth without consultation. 1t pre-
sented the policy of Mr.. Buchanan. and not
merely the personal views of the Secretary
of State and however ready the President
NAV show himself to restrain organized
armed expeditions such rs are forbidden
by the neutrality law, he will never, under
color of that law, throw the least obstacle
in the way of those who choose singly to
leave the country, even with the ayowed
purpose of Joining revolutionary party
in Nicaragua or elsewhere.
Some months ago, when Walker was still
struggling against the combination of Cos
l. ID Il ctar SafyI la
came hither for the purpose of securing,
if possible, an immediate recognition OF the
Walker-Rivas Government. He was not,
however, sanguine of success at first; but
interviews which he had with Mr.. Buchan-
an and his Cabinet soon satisfied him of
their cordial sympathy with Walker, and
he received f1attering assurances that his
Government would speedily be recognized
if later advices should show him still main
tanning himself Unfortunately for the FL
libuster cause, Walker capitulated little
too soon. When he came to Washington
subsequently, he had an interview with MIR.
Buchanan, In which he maintained, with
uniform steadiness, his claim to be recog-
nized, not as an American citizen, but a
Nicaraguan, declared his determiIa-
ton to return to the country of his adoption,
and struggle for the re-estabI:shment of his
government. He left well assured that no
new difficulties would be raised for him by
the American Administration, SO long as he
was careful not to violate the letter of the
neutrality law as already stated. Thus the
matter stands at present, and unless British
and French cruisers interfere successfully
| to prevent Walker and his men from getting
into the country again, you need not be sur
prised to hear soon that the conflict is re-
newed on the San Juan River and in the
heart of the Republic, and pursued with
greater vigor and larger resources than
ever
The Times it is pretty generally under
stood is the chosen journal of the ''Equilib-
riumites'' in New York, and its Washington
news is generally reliable.
At this moment large ornaments are be-
ing fitted out at New Orleans and Savannah
and men are being raised in the South for
the purpose of aiding Walker in his Slave
Propagandism. The Vicksburg papers
speak of the departure of small body of
Mississippians to New Orleans, en- route for
Nicaragua.
The San Antonio (Texas) Herald, an
nounces the formation of a regiment of
Rangers, under the command of Colonel
Waters, Col Crawford and Capt. Henry
The latter gentleman is Sheriff of the coun-
/ ty in which San Antonio is situated, and
the Herald says:
"His absence will be temporary, his du-
ties as Sheriff of our County not allowing
of prolonged engagement in the service
of Nicaragua
This, we presume, is what the Admins
tration means when it says every citizen
has the right to expatriate himself, and
when the distinguished Sheriff above men
toned shall return from his expedition the
probabilities are that an admiring President
will reward him for his devotion.
We wonder whether President Moro of
COSTA Rica would be allowed to raise men
and arms like this NicarogUaia'a Walker,
but our own opinion is that should any
body of men, however small, attempt to
leave these shores with the avowed object
of opposing Walker, that the Cabinet would
then find out that the neutrality laws were
infringed and the expedition would be
stopped.
Slavery propagandism excuses a multi
tude of sins, and the thief, pirate and muir
derer, the man who deliberately plans the
cold -blooded assassination of one who had
welcomed him to his native land, who plum
ders his benefactors and cruelty and vilely
abuses his own followers, is welcomed as
a hero to the White House, and admitted as
an honored guest to the Presidents society
The yard arm were the fitting punishment
of Gen. Walker, yet he goes back on his
