Horace Greeley as n Prophet.

Mr.. Horace Gresley Is kuewn 10 bean CO.
centric man. but few men know him as
nropbet, in-whioh character he now appears
In a letter to the N. Y. Tribune. He predicts
tlat Mr. Douglas pI be the nominee Of fhs
Ckarlcsion COHUeafi0n in April next, and he
further now appears 10 think Il not unlikely
that Dir. Douglas viii give the Republican
candidate very hard run, If not in fact
beat him, in the Northwestern States where
Mr. Greeley says he has been taking notes.
This, however, is not the opinion Of the N. y
Tribune, Of which Mr.. Greeley is the respon-
sible editor. Any person who will turn to
that paper Of Feb. 5, will find "a article Of
some length, proving, 50 far as possible, that
Mr.. Douglas l0h NOT be R0piaaaifd 81 ChGrles
Ton, and we must say that its reasoning Is
much superior to Mr.. Greeley's on the other
side Of The question The only effect OF MT.
Greeley's article will be 70 operate against
the Northwestern Republicans and in favor
Of Mr.. Douglas. He is always doing some
foolish thing Of this sort. As for the argu-
ments pro and con, We put the N. \. Tribune
when Horace is away from home, against
Horaoe's prediction and the reason for it,
DETROIT TribHae. tE4 .Hsh.sE
Mr.. Greeley is one of the most Opinionated
and diotatOrialof politicians, lie apparently
regsrds himself as a sort of regulator general
of the Free States and Territories and Sir
Oracle in politics, though his vaticilatiOns
very often prove wide of the mark. Giving
advice unaslSed is one Of his marked foiblesi
and his interference in the policy of the Re-
publican party, outside Of New York, is some
times injurious as well as inpertinent. In
the memorable contest between Lincoln and
Douglas in Illinois, Mr.. g. gave said and
comfort to the Little Giant as he is doing
nov, and his correspondence and the Tribune
worked adversely to full Republican success
in that State. His recent letter TO the Trib.
une from the Northwest, expressing crude
opinions picked up during lecturing tour
is Of the same piece, and does not properly
reflect the Republican sentiment of th'
masses. The Republicans Of the NOrthwes
are not indifferent as to the choice of a Pres
idential candidate, and will demand q repre-
sentative man for standard-bearer. Will
such leader they have no fear Of Mr.. Doug
las but rather court contest with candid
ate who has a record on all sides of ever
important issue, and by his late speech tn
blackest of any in favor of Slave Code anC
sedition law.
The letter Of Mr. G. was evidently intend
ed for Washington consumption, and va
eagerly swallowed by "DOuglas and his men.
But in giving due weight to the pOlitica
statements and opinions of the writer
should ever be borne in mind that he is quit
as gullible as he is honest Both traits ar

Ths 81. Clair FIats Veto.

The veto message of Buchanan recommends
that Michigan, having obtained permission Of
Congress, impose tonnage duty upon all yes
sells passing over the St. Clair Flats, and with
the money SO raised, remove the distractions
and keep open the channel This is the Doug
las doctrine also touching Lake harbOr i'm
provements. The Detroit Tribune says:
Michican has no intention of making herself
nuisance to all the Northwest by adopting
any such plan, even if it were constitutional.
1t would place this State in the most disagree
able position imaginable, and impose upon her
duties that she alone is not in any just consid-
Grafton called upon to bear. The President
| cites instances where such duties have been
| levied by States for similar purpose, but he
does not state any instance that will fairly
bear comparison with the st. Clair Flats
But this suggestion is only miserable pre-.
text.
The veto takes the position that Congress
has no power under the Constitution to deepen
channels Of rivers and to create and improve
harbors for the purposes of commerce, and
therefore President Buchanan withheld his
approval of the appropriation made by the last
Congress to improve the mouth of the Missis.
sippi river. J &
The Buffalo Courier, in the main fair and
candid Democratic journal, thus speaks of the
st. Clair Flats appropriations
But there are many Dem ocrats who agree
with the President in his opinion that the Con
stitution eonfers no authority for a general
scheme Of internal improvements by the Fed~
eral Government, who will not sustain his veto
of this appropriation. The chain of Lakes
which floats our great internal commerce is not
the property of any one or two States The
people of the Union are more or less directly
interested in this commerce, and we fail to see
why work of this description is not as essen
tial TO military defense as nine tePths of the
jobs which are approved on this constitutional
ground.

The spanish yYar IN nIoroeeo.

It appears that the war in Morocco is fast
assuming larger proportions, and that the mum
Der of the Spanish army is already estimated at
80, ,00O Aceessions are being made to it daily,
aud the condition of the forces, owing to the
climate and sickness, is described by late ac-
counts as distressing in the extreme. The
Spanish camp is not only harrasSed by the
MOOrs, but disease resembling cholera takeH
off hundreds weekly.
The force of the Moors is less numerous than
their asssilants, and they avoid pitched battles.
No decisive battle up to tie last accounts had
been fought, but skirmishes had been frequent
between the Moors and the advanced posts Of
the Spanish army. At the battle OF CasleIlegOs
quite large force was engaged, and the loss
on both sides was considerable. The Spanish
had some 1000 put hors de combat, and the
MoOrs, from the nature of the attacks, suffered
more severely OF their bravery and manner
of combat, letter from Gibralter, Jan. 4th,
says:
In all ofthe engagements fhus far the Moors,
although generally rePHlsed, have displayed a
bravery which their adversa1ies had deemed
them incapable Of manifesting. They have
frequently marched intrepidly up to the very
mouths Of the cannon, and plunged their lsnces
or poignards into the hearts Of the gunners
while at their pieces Their tactics consist in
mastering in large numbers, under some object
that screens them from observation, and sing
ling out some apparently vulnerable place in
the ranks Of the enemy, making Zouave dash
for it, inalcting great injury on the strongly
entrsnched adVersaries, but generally still
greater on themselves.
When forced to retreat, they retire TO their
mountain fastnesses, carrying whatever booty
acquired BY the sally with them. In fact the
warfare they wage is of that guerilla order so
successfully PIactised by some Of the tTibes OF
North American Indians and by the Circas-
SLAMS Of the East If by some chance they are
surrounded, disdaining to sue for mercy, they
at once put an end to THAR existence. They
ask no quarter and they give none.

The Adlourned se..lon Caueas.


The Columbus correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, who is official Reporter of the
Senate, writes that the action of the Republican
caucus on Friday evening, concerning an sd
journed session, was simply advisory, and there
is so much opposition to the resolution which
was adopted, that it is difficult to predict tbs
final disposition of the subject. The impression
of the writer is that there will be an adjourned
session. He says; L
In the discussion of the adjourned session. the
Reserve Republicans opposed it earnestly. Some
Of them said they were committed against the
measure by pledges to their constituents and
Others were eonstructively pledged. On the
other hand, ali the Senators and Represents
tives south Of the National Road insisted upon
the necessity of an adjourned session for public
advantage, They claimed that the policy oi
making appropriations for two years for large
State Ike Ohio, was dangerous and almost im-
prSctica5le. That at best it would cause much
embarrassment in various departments. The
importance of re-disiricting the State for Sem
atoTial Teprt 5entation, was also alleged as
iustifying cause for q session next year.
In connection with this subject Senator Col
Inns stated the following facts to show the du.
ration of the General Assemblies since the new
Constitution went into operation.
The first Legislature under that instrument
met Nov 18th, 1852, and adjourned March 4th,
1853, after q session Of I09 days The session
Of 1854 lasted I9O days In 1855 there was no
session. In 1856, the session lasted I02 days;
that of 1857, 100 days; that CT 1858, I03 days,
and that of 1859 was in session 96 days.
The present General Assembly has been in
session fOrty>twO days, and according to the
statement of the official Reporter of the Senate
''nOthing has been done excepting the passag,
Of few unimportant acts" Another month

a statement Of the Auditor Of State, that
County Treasures on settlement with the
State Treasurer, and receiving their share Of
the school fund to be distributed, have been
in the habit Of charging the per cent. com.
