tract a crowd on the occasion.
B6- Our neighbor thinks he has con-
victed us Of an inconsistency. He says
that one week, we denounce northern men
for opposition to Lecompton, and the next,
VIC denounce the Administration for sup
porting Lecompton organs. We have
never been the advocate of the Lecompton
swindle, as our readers very well know,
and, therefore, could scarcely be so far
forgetful of our own position as to de-
nounce opposition to it in others. Our
neighbor is little in error on another
point. We did not denounce the Ad-
ministration for supporting Lecompton
organs, but for supporting them with the
peoples money. We conceive that there
is a marked difference between the two
propositions.
AS to the simple fact, that the Admins
tration favors that egregious swindle, we
care nothing about it. The opinions of
Buchanan and his pensioned slaves--known
as his Cabinet--are, per Sc, literally con-
temptible, and would be beneath criticism,
but for the fact, that, however worthless,
they are blindly adopted by the thought
less and uncnlightened, and forced, by
the strong arm of monied power, upon
theintellectual, butcorrupt. Public opinion
governs in this country, and the most
ridiculous deserve grave attention when
such opinions can be made public
opinion through the force Of Executive
patronage, or party discipline. But for
these agencies, SO detrimental to the public
good, democracy would have been dead
years ago, and every democrat, with hall
sense, knows it.
AS to the statement, made by Washing
ton lettcr-writers, that the Post Office De.
partment has been sustaining ricketty
Lecompton organs, we believe it-not from
any conclusively direct testimony to that
effect,--but because we know that bribery
is the strongest argument democracy ever
uses, and because, upon no other than
such suggestions, can we account for an
empty treasury, and an expenditure double
that which is needed for the administra-
ton of the Government. Forney says
that the Treasury was drawn upon to put
him down, and his familiarity with light.
fingered locofocoism, entities his statement
to full credit; and it is only when
rogues fall out, that we arrive at know
ledge of the confedcrates and the means
by which the theft was effected.

Rdy- The N. Y. Tribune says that prob
ably not less than two hundred thousand
dollars have been paid out Of the Federal
Treasury, nominally, in salaries to en-
ployees in the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
but in reality to hire them to electioneer
and vote for Florence. We have little
doubt of the truth of the statement, and
hundreds of thousands Of the peoples
money go in the same way, and the transac-
tons arc partially concealed under the
heads of secret service money and defcien-
cy bills. The papers from New York,
Philadelphia and other quarters, teen
with structures upon the corrupt means
employed by the Administration to sustain
itself in Pennsylvania, and no patriot can
read those accounts without blush for the
country's degradation. But these efforts
failed, and there is yet room for hope that
a prouder day is dawning for the dis
honored Republic.

did the success in laying it down, A lea

the Irish end in charge, seems to confirm
this view of the case; for so long as the

that is not doubted, a strong hope must be
entertained that the difficulty, whatever it
may be, is susceptible of being remedied.

opinion, and the impression seems general
that there is a want of efficiency in the
management"

Mr.. BUCHANAN AND CUBA.-T The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Times says that Mr. Buchanan's policy,
in endeavoring to purchase Cuba, aims at
five things, namely: r
1. To satisfy the Bishop and Clergy of
Spain that the Catholic Church would not
wane and be forced to secondary position
on the island, in the event of its tranfer
to the United States.
2. To satisfy Christina that her thirty
millions of private property on the island
would not be subject to the principles of
agrarianism, but would be doubled in val
ne by the transfer
3. To satisfy the agriculturist that his
market would not be injured, but i'm
proved, by having not only the ports of
Cuba, but the whole country, free to his
produce.
4. To satisfy the commercial interests
that free trade would be accorded them
here, while they could discriminate at
home according to their own pleasure.
And lastly, to satisfy the government
that transfer of the island is actually
necessary to secure lasting peace between
the two countries. ..t
