whilst on this subject we may refer to the dis
graceful article in Tuesday evenings Plain Dealer,
which was utterly unworthy the editors of that
paper. We are assured on the best authority,
that the U. S. Court of this District, and the re-
sponsiblo officers, condemn the tone of the article
in question, and r~epudiato its sentiments.
1.-THE counsel for the defendants are Messrs. A.
G.. Riddle, S. q. Griswold, and Judge Spald'

SEcoNDrNG THE MoTIoN The Democratic pa
pers of the country are already heartily seconding
the fl'i5ustering motion of President Buchanan
as set forth in his late message. Away on the
prairies OF Illinois and Wise onsin, where they
ought to love freedom. too we'll to join in or ap.
prove any such ~piratical scheme for the extension
of slavery the Democrats are ready for the work.
Thus the Madison Argus and Democrat says: 1.-THE
necessity of acquiring Cuba has been made more
manifest, year by year since the subject was first
brought to the attention of the country. The
United States could well afford to pay 5000, 000, 900
for the island" This snug little sum tho Demo
crat think can be paid and we be all the richer for
the trade. Such sort of Democratic economy is
just on a par with that democratic love of liberty,
which holds slaves, %trafics in slaves, extends slave
holding territory, and %justifes such villainics
from the Constitution. the Bible, the ledger, or
whatever is thought to be most sacred in the eyes
Of unpriuoipled party and power.
This INSCRIPTIONS Wisconsin Democrat "a good
sample Of his type all over the nation thinks the
President 'sound", too on the Mexican question
Our only course is to take security from Mexico
for what her citizens owe US while it is within our
reach. Mexico has plenty of land. Slavehold'
want it, the Government eau steal it, and the De.
mocracy is willing and ready to aid in the piracy.
So, what with stealing Mexico and buying Cuba,
the Shareholders are in fine feather with their
prospects,.
SOUTH CAROLINA SENAToR.-South Carolina has
elected Mr.. Chestnut, United States Senator. Ue
represents what may be considered the conserva-
tive phase of South Carolina politics, that is, be is
opposed to the legalizing of the foreign slave trade,
by Congress, and in opposition to the extreme fire.
eaters, who are for being out of the Union at once
and anyhow, he with Senator Hammond, is for
staying in the Union while the Democratic party
eau be relied on, as at present and heretofore, for
whatever slavery may demand. NorthernD Democrats
in mudsils are now all that hold the Union together.
The shareholders, even South Carolinians, with all
their supposed fanaticism for slavery are wise and
cool enough to know that slavery exists by and
through the Union, and in spite of all their threats
and buster they have not the slightest idea of CIV
ing up this chief Bulwark of their defence.
The political import OF the election of Mr..
Chestnut the Charleston News, thus sums up:
81. 1t sustained State Right.
2. 1t absolutely condemned the agitation Of the
Slave Trade question.
3. 1t indicated the policy that the people Of the
State should not merge in any party, but, when
advisable, should cooperate as allies, not parti'
sans, with the Democratic party Of the South.
4. 1t gave assurance that Senator Hammond
would receive the c~on6ding support of his State"
INTERCHANGEABLE Buchanan has two plans
for getting Cuba. He will first try to buy it for
$500. DOC. 900. If that plan does not work as he
seems to think it will not, why tLon Spain owes
our merchants, and we will 20 to war aud collect
it and have Cuba thrown in at the settlement. 1t
is said that the pecuninry wrongs and tutrages''
which our merchants are suffering from Spanish
delinquency actually amount to the enormous sum
of $l28, 000t
AS the President proceeds in his message he
becomes more and more belligerent. lie will mol
only fight Spain if she does not pay her debts but
proposes to fight Mexico for the like reason, and
for the additional one that she does not preserve
good order in her territories. Besides, he il

is becoming a hero in his old age.
MURDERs.-The papers of our large cities repor
an unusual amount of violence au1 bloody crime
In Cincinnati, seven persons are now confined il
Jail on the charge of murder. The penalties of TIT
law seem to exert little influence in lettering from
the commission Of crime.
SOUTH OF THE SNows.-President Buchanan i,
in favor of q Pacific Railroad, but of course i
must be to the "south OF the Shows" A cold ap
ology to the friends of the central and northern
,outs, for giving Shareholders the preference
But what right have they to expect anything but
"chilling disappointment" when they decline the
blessings Of the slave trade ADD the privilege Of
fogging negroes.
THE AMIsTAD 'CLAIM.-The President in his
message recommended the old and defeated claim
of the Spanish pirates of the Amistad to the con
sideration of Congress; and the first question
brought up in this Senate was the same claim
The purpose was to give it precedence of all other
business. To this tho Democratic majority in the
Senate consented. Mr.. Hale and others resisting.
Probably Mr.. Buchanan hopes by this prompt &C
ton to put the Spanish Government in a good hui
NOR for a trade for Cuba.
MR. GiDDINGs finds himself quite a lion at Wash
ington this session. His peculiar position attracts
the general attention Of all upon him, for this is
his last of twenty sessions.
Even the Shareholders are said to smile upon
him. They are doubtless delighted at the prospect
