ANOTHER FIJIBUsTERING ExPEDITIoN.-A Wash
ngton Dispatch of the 22d says that the President
has heard that another flibustering expedition was
about to leave for Nicaragua and that he has taken
measures to intercept it.
President Buchanan must be in an awful stew. The
poor old soul is treadiDg nettles all the time and
when there is no real trouble to fight against. he
trumps up an imaginary difficulty for the occasion.
We think, however, the realities Of the future will
come thick and fast upon him. that there will not
be much room for the exercise Of his Imagination.
The dispatch above referred to is, we apprehend,
more correct than Geographic dispatches usually are
We learn, from pretty good authority, that orders
were received here on the 22d, "wednesday having
immediate reference to the rumored expedition; that
the revenue cutter off the s. w. Pass was ordered
into the Pass to stop suspicious looking vessels that
another has been ordered to exercise unwonted vigi-
lance in and about Lake Pontchartrain, etc. and
that party of men have been sent down to Ber-
wicks Bay to preserve the laws intact there, Vi ct
ar1nts.
Now, all this is mere nonsense, Mr. President. If
men want to go to Nicaragua or anywhere else with
out papers, and are willing to take the risks, not all
the revenue cutters of the country nor all the naval
vessels of the country, multiplied fourfold, could
prevent them The nayies of Great Britain, France
and the United States, would hardly suffice to guard
our extensive Atlantic and Gulf coasts
Furthermore, his Serene Highness James ",
should remember the old adage which runneth in
this wise Never kick before you're spnrred.n He
has evidently done so in this instance.

n Washington correspondent of the n.

a change in the Cabinet. He says:
Messrs Cobb, Thompson and Brown
will consider the defeat of Lecompton a
sufficient cause for their resignation, and
l learn from reliable democratic authority
that Mr.. Cobb is particularly sensitive on
that point. He is a southern candidate
for the Presidency, and must make some
demonstration to save h mself Mr. Buch-
anan is understood to be little jealous of
Mr.. Cobb, and does not regret the rumor.

As we have frequently predicted, Le-
compton has fallen. The Critenden sub
stitute, amended, which virtually de-
feats the bill. has passed the House. on a
close vote. by eight minority. This tri-
umph Of the rights of the people is hailed
by the firing of cannon and the acclama-
tons Of millions of freemen throughout
our land. Let all honor, We say, be nc
corded to those fearless heroes who have
achieved us the victory. The bill, as
amended and passed. was Immediately
referred to the Senate, where 1t may posi-
bly, be further agtated. The Administra-
ton may. however. accept it as it nov
stands, and thus end the long fought con-
test.
This, we believe, would be for the inter
ests Of all concerned. The amended bill,
as passed, cannot certainly be very objec-
tionable, even to the tiends of Lecomp-
ton: since it is the midest measure that
could possibly be adopted to defeat the
constitution. Moreover. q gives the Le-
comptonites a second trial whether or not
the constitution is the will Of the people.

siss to let the contest end here, and let
