Rea.nI.a Given,

The New Orleans Crescent having been
taken to task for its support OF Senator Doug
las in his present contest, rcp!iesin a spirited
article, from which we extract the sutjoincd
paragraphs, giving acme Of tho reasons for
its preference:-"We support Douglas against
Lincoln, because be is a great, independent,
and tolerably decent man, on sectional and
other questions. Lincoln is a dirty, coward
" and malignant Aholitionist. But if the
Crescent's advocacy of Douglas is Federalism
and nti-Democra.ic, then the Srnthern Dem
ocracv is Federal and there is precious little
Democracy left. Senator Brown, OF Mississippi
ply twcu,y fold odds the most Influential
man in our sister StatC-supports Douglas.
So does FIX Gov. McIac, recently elected to
Congress from the Fifth District without op-
positiun. So do Messrs. Lamar and BarkS-
dale. members from the same State. 30 do
Senator Toombs and Representative Stephens
of Georgia, Speaker Orr, end others from
south Carolina, Senate Clay ard several
Representatives from Alabama, Gov. Wisc,
of Virginia, and hundreds .. other leading
Democratic statesmen Of the South, to say
nothing of that more correct exposltor OF real
~popular scntiment--three fJurths OF the press
of the South, without distinction OF party"

An Embarrassad Fanher.

The following true Incident viii show
the dangers to which young children are
sometimes exposed in the public squares OF
our city.
A gentleman on Saturday afternoon vas
taking his little toY--an only child, about
six mouths uld--,n an airing 10 Madison
park, when suddenly a weil-dressed woman,
an entire stranger to MIN, rushed irantlcai!y
af,ar him, and with screams and violent ges-
lures. demanded her child. The a.tUnlshed
father, of course, pushed her aside, and told
her to clear of, upon which she persisted, at
tempting to lay hands on the baby, nod
drawing with Ter screams a large crowd u
witness the Contest. OF course the crowd,
with their usual humanity, sympatb.Zel with
the bereayed wVman, until the uu,Drtnna!e
"narient" was com peiied to cali a policeman,
who took MS tormentOr away.
l. seemed q little strange that when there
are So many unclaimed babies, shc should be
so anxious to seize al only CHILD, the sole
object OF p%aroatai affection. The probability
is, however. that the VIXEN, who was a good
lookiug F~rcncnwUman, OF about thirty or
thirty-hce, bad lost Il baby, and seeing p
handsome hoy, had mistaken him iJr the one
she was seeking. From the pertiaaCity with
which she insisted on her claim, 1t - also
probable that sine would have succeeded in
running gf with the baby, had II not been
protected By tie strong arm OF It's father, and
had lis only guardian been, as Is often The
case, a servant maid or nurse OF tilteen or
twenty years.--N. I. Sun.

Cuba.


We learn from recent developments ot
Northern Democratic opinion, that the an
nexation of this coveted island is now
urged in certain quarters as an essentially
an,i-slavery measure, deserving and cha
lcng.rg the SUPPORT Of all who would weaken
the political Influences of what Is co nmoniy
and often most absurd!y called "thc Slave
Power" As q single illustration of this
theory, we cite the following significant re-
solution from the proceedings # a Democrat
ic meeting, held in Albany, New York, on
Saturday last, Tor the purpose OF nominating
a candidate for Congress from the metrOpoli-
tan district 10 that State:
"Resolved, That the course Of ETastus
Corning, in sustaining the administration OF
the President OF our choice, is fully approved
BY this Convention, and that We shall take
much pleasure in seeing his vote recorded Tor
the REQUIREMENT Of Cuba. should manifest
Destiny" bring that question before The pres
eat or the next Congress. to which We intend
be shalt be elected, believing that by lis peace
fri acquisition the slave trade will be etfec-
ruaily stopped, the border slave States be
made free States, and a more extended mar
ket opened tor the wheat, corn, PORK anu
other products of the North and West, IN ex-
change tor cheap sugar"
IL is no part OF our present purpose to
comment on the propositions contained IN
this slightly confused and congIomerate reso.
luton, which, Notwithstanding Its syatactlcai
involution, explicitly prOpounds the doctrine
that the Albany Democracy advocate the ac-
quiremeut Of Cuba. because, among its other
advantages. they believe it would convert
"the border Slave States" into 50 many add!-
tional Free States, and thus tend to increase
the prepouderanee Of the latter III the Con-
fcderacy.-Ndt. Int.

trary to the just rights acquired by Ameri-

sulting from the transit treaty Of November
last shall be constantly maintained.
The Nicaraguan Miaister replies that his
Government wishes only for justice and Its
rights. IL desires friendly relations WITH The
United States. But lie declares that the
transit treaties are of no value, because tie
