necessary COZ the postal service Of the year which
was not provided for and the expenses for the next
fiscal year, are reduced to S5S, 1923, sO42l, being
about eighteen millions less than the amount ex

Such is a fair comparison of the results of De-

THE FILLIBUsTER EXPEDITION TO CUBA-Tbe
steamship QUAKER City brings us news concerning
this expedition, of which so much has been said of
late in the newspapers, which shows it to have
been very Insignificant affair. We learn that the
schooner African, Capt. Button, which left New
York on the Dist of March, appeared off Neuvas
Grsndes, Cuba, on the 7th tilt, and attempted to
land the fllibusters she had on board For some
unexI scted reason she failed to do so, and bore
away Tor Puerto Principe, Hsyti, where she arrived
on the 18th ult The would be invaders of Cuba
the african numbered thirty fUe persons, all told
rather dminutive party to attempt the invasion
of the Seem of the Antilles" The fIlibusters had
with them $3.50 guns and sundry munitions of
war;" which had been given up by the Haytien gov.
eminent.
The Havana GacetG contains a letter from the
Spanish Consul st Puerto Principe to the Captain
General OF Cuba, in which it is stated that the If
Ttcans passengers unable leave the island as
no vessel would receive them on board and that the
American Consul had refused to afford them aid or
protection, the ground that their names were not
on the Africans passenger list and that they had
no papers to show that they were American citizens
The Havana papers state that the Captain General
had dispatched war steamer 10 Hayti TO demand

The party opposed to the Democracy, by what.
ever name distinguished, has never made poll

failure. The old federal party buried itself in op-
position to the of 1872; the National Republi-
cans fzze1 out in an attempt to defeat Gen. Jack.
son; the Wing party died of inherent weakness and
treaohery, without having accomplished any thing;
and the Know Nothing party lived shorter life
and died a more miserable death than any of the
preceding opponents of the Democracy. And now,
We have "the Opposition" party to contend with.
1t is the old enemy in a new disguise. Its
promises are of course, magnificent. But, like all
its predecessors, Its performance will be dead fail
ure. 1t WON'T be three years before a new party
will "rise from the ruins" of this Opposition, TO
splurge year or two, and then die. The young
Democrat, who has forty years of life before him,
will live to fight old federalism under at least
dozen new names.

The Opposition party in Tennessee, in the plat.
fern Of principles adopted at the State convention
in Nashville announce that 'the further agitation
of the slavery question tends no practical good
to any portion of the country and should therefore
cease"
To this, Horace Greedy, of the Tribune leader
of the northern portion, and in fact the main body
Of the Opposition party, responds:
'Our southern friends may as we'll understand
first as last, that the only way TO get rid of the agi
tation about slavery is to get rid of slavery it.
self"
Surely southern men can never comply with the
terms proposed by Horace Greedy as condition on
which the agitation is TO cease.-MurfresJoro Ncws
The reply of the Tribune should be well consider
ed by all those southern men who have listened to
the Know Nothing charge that the Democrats are
agitating the slavery question The agitation comes
from the North, and the most ultra Southern man
does nothing than resist threatened eneroach-
ment on his rights. Instead Of proposing fusion
with those aggressOrs for the overthrow of the De-
mOcracy, if the Southern Opposition" would unite
with the Democracy they would most effectually aid
in putting down agitation, by making it harmless.
The hope which the agitators derive from the kind
ness with which they are regarded by the "Opposi~
ton" in the South, does TO keep up the agita-
ton than every thing else These Southern oppose
tionists would be considered very foolish if finding
their houses fire. they should attempt to cure the
evil by ignoring its existence or, worse SILL if in
stead of trying to save their property and their
families they should shut their eyes to the danger,
and go off on a frolic with the incendiaries And
yet, such course would be just such one as the
Southern oppositiOnists urging US to pursue in
regard to the greatest political danger which has
ever threatened u.s. Can any portion of the people
Of Tennessee be blinded to the objects for which this
cry of 'useless agitation" is raised? Do they not
see that "fusion" cannot be effected unless the
Southern wing of the fusiOn" agrees to ignore the
rights Of the South?

year 1853, bat also certain deficiencies then ex

We think it right to reiterste our protest against
engaging England either BY alliance, or menace, or
guarantee, as to draw her into this purely Cont,
mental quarrel. Surely We are not going to commit
again the faults committed by our fathers, and
great for ourselves or to bear in the pur-
suit of ehimercial notions as to what we should
like TO see occur among our neighbors We say, ct
all risks and at all events, keep England out of this
struggle between two dynsstio Powers What have
we, free constitutional people, to do with srug-
gle between two despots, one of whom represents
the principles Of absolute power and prestly domiu
ion, and the other the despotism delegated by pure
democracy? If it must be so, let them fight; no
English Statesman can suppose that by weaknening
each other they can become more dangerous to u.s.

We very respectfully suggest to the Patriot, that
the resolution of the Democratic National Conven-
ton to the effect "that the Democratic party will
resist all attempts at renewing in Congress out
of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be made"
is very unfairly construed when il is made to mean
that the democratic party will not resist the agita
tors of the slavery question. We resisting the
agitation Of the slavery question: and are doing all
in our power to prevent fusion of southern men
with the sgators. If the abolItioniss will let US
alone, in the quiet enjoyment of our constitutional
rights, we shall have no occasion to refer to the
subject. The fusiOnists are the sgitators, and we
are carrying out the letter and the spirit of the
democratic platform in resisting them. 1t is strange
