Let the Called Jade Vince.
The Presidents Message, as far as it
relates to Cuba, Central America and
Mexico, does not seem to be palatable
to u amiaLle friends across the Atlantic.
It has punctured the windblown vanity
of the Spaniards; it has shocked Gallo
Imperialism; it has snubbtd British i'll
science. A wall from Madrid, mingled
with a remonstrance from Paris anil a
growl from London, comes in .dolorous,
shrieking, discordant, whining tones
across the ocean which divides IS and
ought to divide their influence and insti
~tutions from those of this continent.
We await details, but the telegraph
announces a general growl in concert
from Spain and from the faithful" allies,
Great Britain and France, because Of
Mr.. Buchanan's recommendation to buy
Cuba. Spanish hidalgos have announc-
ed that Cuba is not for sale, and they
fret and fume and scold because our
President modestly offers to buy it
France and Great Britain have declared
that Spain shall not sell Cuba even if
she is willing to sell; wherefore impe-
rial hunkies in France and journalistic
snobs in London sound the diapson Of
remonstrancc in unison, and put on a
face Of mock wonderment that an Amer
lean executive, though echoing the will
of the American people, refuses to be
controlled by European cabinets.
This uproar among the despots is a
good sign. We may always be assured
that whenever our executive or legisla-
t1re make a declaration or law which
the Spanish, French and British denounce,
a forward step III the right direction has
been taken. We are sincerely glad that
they have found in Mr.. Buchanan's mes
sage something to grumble at. W. are
glad that they are at last advised by an
able official document that monarchical
power ON the American continent is obi
GUS and grows daily more hateful to the
American people.
We hope the declaration which has
aroused foreign ire will be followed up
by action vigorous, deter
mined, persistent, bold action. Let the
picayune monarch who rules the Span
ish Peninsula, and the imperial parvenu
who rules France, and the shop-keeping,
%aristocrats who rule Great Britain, all
be convinced that the American CONT
nent has no need of their help, no call
for their interference, no scope for their
intermeddling. Let it he proved to them
that their ways are not as our ways and
that their will cannot, shall not, govern
us. Let them be made aware that it is
the will of this western people whom
the Almighty has endowed with republi-
can liberty that the crowned usurpers Of
Europe shall keep their filthy hands off
our continent. Let deeds follow words
to show them that we cannot endure a
foreign fortress planted at the outlet of
our Southern commerce, Let them know
that the odor Of monarchy steaming up
from a Spanish colony in our waters and
within sight, as it were, Of our shores, is
an incense which we cannot endure.
We congratulate our executive upon
the uproar his message has created. 1t
is q good sign. We shall await with
patience and read with delight the Span
ish, French and British demunciations of
whose spirit the telegraplihas partly in
formed US. La. Courier.
