Bes,. Brownsville is safe, says the y. O. papers.
But no thanks to the President who waited three
weeks to see whether the bandit chief could take
it. Perhaps he wanted the town burned and the
inhabitants murdered, that he might have pretext
for another Mexican war, by which to signalize his
administration. But he need seek no further means
of distinction. It's excessive weakness and folly
have made his the most rmarkabe administration
since the formation of the government.

B6E- The President has been justly and scverly
censured for his delay in sending troops to the
sistance of Brownsville; but now he is sending a
force so much larger than is deemed necessary that
it has given rise to the belief in Washington, that
England France, and Spain are about to take
measures to enforce the claims of their citizens and
that our Government is preparing to seize northern
Mexico for the same purpose. Washington is the
hotbed of rumors and conjecturcs and these are so
very often wide of the mark that all such should
be received with many grains of allowance. Old
Buck seems 10 have no settled views on any subject
aud to be incapable of looking a day ahead and
since all he has done looks like an impulse of the
moment-and wrong impulse at that-it is fiat
tering his judgment to suppose he is now influenced
by the considerations above suggested. He sent
troops to Utah to enrich the Mormons instead OF
reducing them to subsection, and it is the widest
sort of guessing to undertake to say what his object
is in sending unnecessarily large force to Browns
vile. -
Since writing the foregoing, we see that the
march Of the troops has been countermanded.
