InscrutabIe Wit and I!un0r.

We detach from the regular report Of Leg
slatiye proceedings the resolutions below,
for the purpose Of giving them prominence.
They were offered by Maj. McCuE, the
member from Augusta. If any of our read
ers can discover the uit. we are prepared to
laugh, but in the meantime suggest that a
committee be appointed Of which the hon
orable member shall be chairman, to inyes-
igate this fact and report thereon.
Federal Relations -Mr McCue, of Au-
gusta, offered the foil wing resolutions,
which, on motion Of Mr.. Raymond, were
laid On the table
Resolved, That committee be appoint
ed to enquire into the question whether
President Buchanan and his Cabinet are
competent to manage the affairs Of this Co
vernment.
Resolved further, That in the event said
committee should bring in an adverse re-
port, then, and in that casa, this House will
resolve itself into committee of the whole
on the state of the Union, to decide wheth-
er the President shall be required to return
Walker and his forces to Nicaragua with
full indemnity for the losses they have sus-
tanned and, further, whether on the late
election upon the adoption Of the Constitu-
ton prepared BY the Lecompton Convention
such fraud was committed by the voters Of
Kansas as would justify disruption Of the
Democratic party.

Paulding and Walker.

Under the above caption the Raleigh
Standard, the influential and conservative
organ of the North Carolina Democracy,
thus comments upon the conduct Of Com
modore Paulding. 'There is an ambition
that overleaps itself and zeal without
knowledge that often hastens the consum-
nation of what it would prevent. By such
ambition, it seems to US, was Com. Pauld-
ing induced to act, against Gen. Walker.
He could have acted in no other way SO
surely and SO speedily to place Nicaragua in
possession of Gen. Walker The sympathy
on the one hand, and the indignation on the
other, excited by his conduct throughout
the Southern States will give Gen. Walker
an army that will be amply sufficient to con-
firm him in his authority in that country.
We are almost tempted to believe that
Walker is indeed. the grey-eyed man Of
destiny, and that Com Paulding was select
ed, by the DEGREES Of fate, to consummate
that destiny, and place him in power; just
as Providence overrules the acts of the wick
cd and turns them into good.
We are glad to see that Congress is en-
curing into the matter, and those who know
Clngman, know that he will thoroughly sift
the whole affair. The very fact that the
government refused to recognize General
Walker and bis men as prisoners, is Of it.
self robuke to Com. Padding that ought
to throw damper upon his exultation over
what he fancied brilliant achievement"

SneeCh Of MIR, Letcher,

The speech of Mr.. Lctchcr published in
to-day's paper is worthy Of perusal. Like
everything which emanates from that gen
tleman it is straight forward and to the
point. BY the way, it is little remarka-
BILE that Mr. L. never makes speech in
Congress that he is not interrupted by at
least half dozen members, and in these
discussions he always gets decided advan-
tage over his assailants

The Presidents Message,

We lay before our readers to-day the re-
cont able and dignifed Message ofpresidcut
Buchanan. We think that the soundest and
most sensible views on Walker and Fill
clustering Ia general are presented in this
Message that we have seen from any quar-
ter. We fully agree with the President that
Paulding has committed "a grave error, :"
but what should be his punishment for that
error we do not pretend to determine-and
we think it would be best for every one to
let the President and his Cabinet alone, to
decide calmly and coolly on the subject. =
We have full confidence in their judgment.
One thing we protest against most earnestly,
and that is that opposition or support Of
the reckless and fllibustering Walker
should be made the test Of fealty to South
ern interests. We think it is pure ques-
ton of international law, and should be
viewed as such, alike by North and South.
We are free to confess that we wholly dis
approve of all such 6llibustering movements,
and are glad that the arch offender Walker
has been arrested in his buccaniering enter
prise, so little in accordance with our past
policy and so detrimental to our true inter-
ests, for we think with the President that
such an enterprise is rather calculated to re-
tard than promote the Americanizing of
Central America. We also agree with him
that it would be more in accordance with
the bold spirit Of Americans to openly de-
clare war against our weaker sister States,
and to take the responsibility on ourselves
than thus sneakingly to evade our ancient
policy. We again enter our protest against
denouncing any one as unfaithful to the
South because he disapyroves Of this unjus-
.i6able expedition Of conquest against
we aker people.

A Question for our Friends We have
a question to put to any Of our Democratic
friends who may feel like taking sides
against the administration on the Kansas
question. We ask-Did you euer hnow a
Democratic administration to 90 urong on
a great question? We have often known a
great clatter to be raised and kept up for
time, but the people always decided that
the administration was right There was
Bank clatter in JAcKsoN's time, Sub
Treasury clatter in VAN BuREx's, a Tariff
clatter in PoLK's, and a Nebraska clatter
in PIERcE's. Each of these clatters scared
few timid Democrats, but the sober second
thought of the people set everything right
in time. We have Kansas clatter now,
and some of our friends are afraid BUCHANAN
is not right. We repeat to them the ques-
tion-Did you ever know a Democratic ad-
ministration to be wrong?
