psss" 1t is not true, says the LouisvXlsy
journal, that Gen. Houston, recently
elected Governor of Texas, declared in
favor of the Administration during his
canvass. The statement that he did so
was n SANDER, and certainly a very vile
one. The old patriot repudiated none of
his American princsples.
We have no doubt that Gen. III. disa-
grees with us upon some subjects, yet We
have come to the conclusion, from close
observation of his course during the last
six or seven years. that he is one of the
most patriotic and unselfsh of all the
public men of the nation. He is much
spoken of in some quarters as a candidate
for the next Presidency, and if we knew
that no man less exceptionable than he
would be elected, we should feel a sense
of relief.

An ISLAND IN THE Pacific SEIZED BY AN
AMERICAN OrFIcER.-The ship Northern
Light from Aspinwall Goth, arrived at
New York furnishes the following infor-
mation
1--WE learn from the head quarters of
the Oregon and Washington Military De-
partment that General Harvey has order
ed a detachment of U. s. troops to take
possession of the Island of San Juan,
and establish there military post. The
right of ownership to this and other
Islands is in dispute between the English
and American governments.
Gen. Harvey, it is to be presumed, acts
under instructions from the Administra-
ton, and, as British interests have, with
in a year, acquired much Importance in
that quarter, it is not unlikely that trouble
will grow out of the affair.

Poor. PIERcEs BosToN SpEEcu.-Mr
Buchanan's predecessor in the Presiden-
tial chair, poor Pierce, returned from his
European tour last Saturday, and was
welcomed at Boston bya serenade and
address. To this manifestation on the
part of few broken down politicians
Pierce responded in speech, which we
publish to-day. 1t is full of the usual
patriotic phrases about the free institu-
tions of this great country, and express
sing qualification at finding himself once
more on. the soil of New England. He
also pays a tribute to the memory of Ru-
fus Choate. But he has not a word to
say, nor a tear to let fall, in memory of
the great democratic party, which was so
hale and vigorous in ! ,, when he en-
tered the White HouA and which is
now, owing to his admir- stration, in the
last stages of dissolution..- We think that
sense of remorse might have suggested
a few in memorian, sentences to poor Pierce
on his return to his native land. Such
is, however the gratitude of politicians
