OF the flibusters are just now the object
of no small regard from the schemiog pOliti-

ambitious views
The principal dogma Of the nlibuster creed,
which is the extension Of the boundaries of the
Union, is becoming part of every political

little and the free soilere of the Northwest look
to the acquisition of Cuba and our progress
sou'hward as the means Of opening large mar
ket for their grain aud meats which are now
excluded from the countries south of us by ad-
verse tariffs. Humphrey Marshall and the
Southern Know Nothings hope yet to give life
TO the oppositiou-to the democratic party in
the South-by innoculating 1t largely with the
flibuster spirit Aud old Sam Houston has
hung out bis banner, Inscribed with q Mexican
protectorste, with the evident object Of winning
the flibusters TO his support Each Of these
movements has involved some Of the llibustsrs
in 1t, and the old organization under that name
is, as We have already said, exhibiting the same
signs of disintegrstion that characterize every
other political party.
But all OF these outside schemes and plots are
destined to experience an early failure. SoulS
and Walker are political Quixottes, who will
never find their Dulcinea de Tobasa, whether
they seek her in Nicaragua or elsewhere. Backs
and Seward cannot succeed In bringing into
their fellowship with niggers men who go in
for the practical acquisition of territory without
looking too closely into the morality Of the
mode Of doing il; and the North western free.
sellers have too many fine distractions for the
flibuster mind. The leaders Of the national
flibusters will carry the mass of their followers
to the support OF the administration in its policy
Of acquiring Cuba and comforting stable gov
erDment upon Mexico. Under q suspension of
the neutrality laws, they may have the national
sanction for liberatiDg the gem of the Antilles
or under o convention with Mexico they may
obtain the national guidance and support in the
reorganization of firm government for the
Mexican republic. The Cas- Yrisarri treaty
will open to them field in Central America,
where they can turn their swords into plough
shares; and the opening of Tehuautepec affords
them an opportunity to convert their bayoncts
into pruning hooks IL Is Of no use to coquette
with the Giibusters, gentlemen; they are bound
to fall into the national ranks and keep step
with the music of the Union.
