| The Tribune itself, BY the way, onee
graphically, and tEalg, described lts

ton OF factisRsn opposed 10 the Demos-
raCy. Is is simply such an " aggrega'
tioa," and nothing mora or less, chang"
ing It's namo with the frequency, almoss,
with which the viper changes its skin,
sud held together by the " cohesive pow
er'' Of hatred 10 the principles Of Jefsr-
son and Of Jackson. Wholly impotens
to accomplish aaght far the good Of the
eounlrys when in power, as Is has been
repeatedly, lt assails rsGklssslys whan
oaG of power, utterly regardless OF their
merits, the adts Aad measures OF every
Democratic Administration. What, let
ms ask, would the West or the Uaion
have been to-day, without he Louisiana
purohssel Where would hare been, now
the present States OF Louisiana, and Ar
kans 10, and Missouri, and our Own young
Iowa7 They would never have been or
gsnixed, bat have constituted, still, one
cemmon Territory, under the dominion
o. the present Napoleon, or aoma other
| potentale Of Europe; while all TO tHe east
Of Us, up TO the very borders Of Penusyl-
vania and New York, cut of from access
10 tho Gulf Of Mexico, through the mouth
Of the Mississippi, would have paid trEb-
ute to g New England Enterprises" as
the settled policy of New England Fed
eralism, ALIAS Z" Rspahlioaaism," ;" is still
to compel it 10 do
Caba, the actual key TO the great Gulf,
from which all trade through the mouth
of the Mississippi With its entire valley
may be thoroughly controlled, is as much
an actual necessity, now, TO the people
Of that valley, as Louisiana Was half
century ago; and the man who may ae-
quire 1t for our country, will merit the
blessings of that people; and will be sure
TO receive those Of their posterity, IN
whose nostrils the Sc Republcanism" Of
to-day will be as offensive as is TO Us the
{" Federalism" that opposed Jefferson.
What, between the still unsettled diff
keulties Of Spain with Mexico, and the
abandonment Of her cause by Great Brit
ain, as clearly indicated by the recent
language Of the Press and the Statesman
Of the latter country, all the IS signs Of
the times" at present, point, with grow
ing certainty, 20 the acquisition of Cuba
bY our present National administration
If sustained as it deserves TO be, and
most certainly will be, by the party that
placed il in power. To eOnsamats this
great measure, dnring his Presidential
term, VIII, there are good grounds for
believing, be one Of the chief aims OF
Mr.. Buchanan. On entering upon the
duties Of his Office, hut little over year
ago, he found it embarrassed by several
difficulties, Which doomed up into a de-
gree Of importance that required his in-
mediate attention, 70 rid himself OF them
as speedily as possible. And what, IN
fact, is !heir present situation? Where
is the army Of fllibustsEs, whose gath
erings, marchings and counter march
ines, iuYaslons and other dsEIlrrIes, had
kept the country in confusion for years,
threatening to involve It IN serious. .dlEh-
eulty with the Central American Repub-
lcs-bRcked, perhaps, by the great pow
ers Of France and Great Britain E'ltl-
busterirm, by the decisive measures OF
the administration is at an eud5 our IT.
l&tionS with Cen raj AHCrica, there Is
little dnubt, vail ere long be put up0n
such footing as to secure 20 as all that
w. can reasonably ask in thai region.
.BuI, what of the Mormon dlfheulties,
and lks anticipated Mormon War;"
which, less than six months ago, II Was
confidently predicted, by many Of the
writers for the opposition press-the wish
! doubtless being +" father 20 the thought
-was to last for years, and to cost the
country hundreds af millions Of dollars?
/ Il, also, is already settled, though the
prompt action set on foot By the Admin

fondfy cherished baBtling, which had for
ysars occupied a greater space in the
publie press, and especially that of the

together? That also is &" dead gone;"
and, for nearly two months past, we have
very rarely heard or seen II mentioned.
But, again, there was she right elai

hsr character This arrogant claim has
recently been abandoned, in toto; re-
suit mainly attributable, thsFe is no
doubt, to Che hTm and decided course
parsued By Mr.. Buchanan while our Mtu-
lister to England, not long since, as
evineed in bis very able discussion Of the
| Central American question. His elsva-
ted tone, throughout that discussion,
fuIly satisR ed John Ball that, as Pres,-
DENT, he would s. submit to nothing that
was wrongs" and hence the Sudden and
unlooksd-for abandonment, no0, Of the
position upon the right Of search ques-
sion, 90 long and so tenacionsiy adhered
To by the British Government. Here,
