THE PRESIDENT ON FILIBUsTERING.
From the New Orleans Bee, Dec. II
Almost the only phrases in the telegraphc summary OF

On this subject Mr. Buchanan leaves loop hinge to
hang doubt on. We told he condemns the awess
expeditions fitted out against the independent republics on
calculated TO reard steady progress impair
character nation, than the federation OF such
mends The subject to the serious attention Of Congress
and recommends the adoption OF such measures will be
efectual in restraining our citizens from committing such
outrages" Hard upon the uterance OF these ultra con-
sentative and peculiarly Northern sentiments, Pres

cery by the removal Of Mr. Oack the United States Dis
trct Attorney in New Orleans avowedy for lack Of dill
gence in preventing the departure of VIM Walker and his
Nosc sOs are VERY decidedly in favor Of the Aneoania

gay chosen President Of that republic, and that he
driven thence by the unauthorized and Ubiquitous invasion
of the Territory by Costa Rican army. We hold that
Walker has an undoubted right 70 return thither with
the authority Of which he was forcbly and unusy de-
prived. IT. therefore, the general argument against fill
clustering met our approbaton-which does not-he
special Of Nicaragua would offer marked exception
Yet there doubt whatever that the denuncatons in
duged in by Mr. Buchanan intended for the late Pre-
sdent Of Nicaragua and that his movements are charac
terized as lawless outrages
We may we'll exclaim with the Mobile Tribune what a
change has come over the spirit Of Mr. Buchanans
since the famous conference 0stend In the manifesto
drawn by the sage of Wheatand on that OCCASION and
signed by him. together with Messrs Soule and Mason,
on which General Walker bases his return TO Nicaragua
Mr.. Buchanan then boldly enuncated the dogma that
Spain had right 10 have Cuba that the acquisition ofthe
island essential to the developement OF the strength
and of the United States and TO our
defence against foreign nvason that Spain ought be
made to sell Cuba, and that II she persisted in refusing
liberal oferwhy, ought to take it forcibly whsBever
is possession should appear Indispensable to our Safety
We rather imagine that this line OF policy constituted
flibusterism full nedged and full grown. Mr. Buchanan
willing at that time TO wrest Cuba by violence from
the dominion OF Spain provided the declined selling
ATTEMPT
OF the lawful President Of Ncaraguato that power
with which he was invested by popular suffrage and from
which he was expelled by Foreign invaders as crime OF
the first magnitude.
The key to this wonderful metamorphosis is plain
enough. When James Buchanan put forth the Ostend
manifesto, he ambitious of becoming President, and,
like politician he pitched his to catch the

ARRIVAL OF WALKER IN NICARAGUA.
from the Mobile Register, Dec 1871
The joyful tidngs which reached yesterday of the
safe arrival and successful landing Of the glorious Walker
and his brave followers in Nicaragua sent generous
thrill Of pleasure through the hearts of this community
May hear that this devoted pioneer Of American
civilization has reaped the reward Of his consistency and
valor trumphng every obstacle TO the estab
shment of his rghtfu authority that interesting
gion. We earnestly hope that the reported movement Of
the British and American squadrons in the direction Of
San may portend any interference their part
with Walker. If any interference should be offered by
them trust the people Of the Whole South 0ili up
nth accord and protest against the uad,gfd and un
justifable procedure.
