Are gathered from aiar.
For Liberty. for native land.
For home, for kindred, and for life.

Against their common foe contend
Defying Austria's naughty toas's,
Fair Freedom they defend.

The surging masses to the fray.

A Difference of Opinion.

Faust the Washington correspondent
OF The MON, says that Senator Siaell has
been tendsrah tAo mission ia France. and
that
Ills appointment at this iuncture is most
significant. Europe is engaged in war
which, it is believed, will ultimately involve
ali the foreign nations, including England
and Spain In that event Spain will want
money. and may be obliged, from necessity,
to part with her jewel. Mr. Buchanan with
his accustomed foresight, sees all this, and
has shown his sasacity by taking the tide at
the eb5."
The Boston Courier says there is no inti-
ma tion that Mr.. Mason desires to leave his
post at Paris, although if there were to be
change, Mr.. Slidcll might be appointed. 1t
then says:
As Minister to France he could afford no
direct or immediate aid to the scheme of
acquisition. The position would be less
favorable for such aid than that which he
now occupies. Tho favor with which the
project is already regarded in the Senate,
might soon droop and withcr under the
guidance OF a less skilful and less experienced
manager than Mr.. Slidell has shown himself
to be. We are surprised, therefore, at the
confident IN inner in which the success Of the
Cuba scheme is predicted, as consequence
of Mr. Sldell alleged appointment as Min
ister to France. Even should such appoint
mcnt occur-and it is among the problbii-
ties-he would have no increased facilities
for pressing the purchase Of Cuba, no funds
for secret service, and no instructions, which
will authorize him to g beyond the direct
and proper limits Of his mission.
