OWED. So;
The Now York Herald combines in itself the
brains and tact Of the Democratic party
When VIC want 10 soc what is going Oh in tlS
A.onlain of 1iii.busterisru, CT 10 know tue most ]
adroit and specious defences Of robbery Of our
neighbors considered as nations, or Of indiyid:
uals held as slarcs, we turn to tie Herald /
and there III advance Of all Of our cotemporas
ries Of the naan-selling faith, find the policy oF
tho party f,se*hadowed and defended. OF
course in this threatened Involvement With +
Mexico, Spain and possibly France, the H1dld I
was promptly consulted; and while such |
small lights as the Democratic organs in this |
city are discreet1y silent, the great indicator IN
New York has boldly settled the course to DO |
pursued In that paper Of the olst we find |
the cause Of offence which Spain has given, set
forth in course Of leading editorial devoted to
the matter in hand. It SAYS:
Without q port in the republic, . rebelliou3
General i'll the inferior Of the country sends
few hundred thousand dollars to Havnna, and
there subordinate officers Of the most corrupt
aud bgotted court in Esrope, in utter violation
of the comfy Of nalious wink at the fitting out
of two>arnlei cruisers to vex the commerce Of
the Gulf Mexico has not had 4 national or q
merchant ship for years, nor, cut Of the canoe
and bungo service Of the shore lagoors mud riY.
ers. has she 4 single sailor. Yet in Havana,
where every Spanish sailor is matriculated by
thu Government, where authority is most des.
potic, aud no Spanish or foreign sailor can
ship without special permit from the proper
olGcer, eyer rigilant for his excessive fec, set
OF adventuters can fit out two armed steamers;
whose crews must necessarily be Spaniards,
and whose only stimulus can be the hope Of
plunder Of any honest trader tha. may attempt
to break their self-established and seIi-autbor-
ized b1ockudt. The course Of tile authorities of
Cuba III this 1nat.er is oa par with their old
tin: uink'n=s ut the Quitting pirates
OF the Gull, Which nude the shores Of
Cuba terror to ererr sailor, and its ports tha
paradise Of pirates, until cur Own gallant little
navy broke uu their haunts aud burnt their
cruisers Oh The sea and their cabins On the land.
This all nay be very just: but the Charge
made in anticipation Of any knowledge Of tie
facts in the case, may be received with due al.
lowance. We see in it disposition 10 take
time ty the fo1c-lock, ard in view Of the prob
able consequences Of Commodore jarvis act,
make the authorities Of Cuba the chief parties
to be blamed-ior what Interior purpose we
shall presently show. The Herald in another
paragraph not only continues to bear down
upon the Cuban and Spanish Governments,
but foresladows tie treatment to which Mexi-
CO herael, for her part in the affair, shall be
subjected.
There nov remains but one course for our
government to pursue. Inquiry should be i'm.
the corsair ships Miramon and Marguez--named
thus alter the rebel Mexican leader, and the
ASSASSIN OF Tacubaya and roa'ber of the COIL
ducta at Guadal3jara-leit Havana, and became
armed ships under the Mexican flag so near to
our own shurcs. If the Spanish authorities Of
Cuba can be shown 10 have in any way con
nived at the iniquity, an energetic remonstrance
should be sent to spain; and it she will not,
we should, af,nte the nuisance. On the rejection
or passage Of the Mexican treaty by the Sem
ate will nos depend whether Houston shall be
urged by the popular voice 10 carry his protec-
torate st once into Mexico, and relurn to occu-
py The Presidential chair ct Washington, or
whether We will secure the pacification Of that
Republic aud the safety Of our citizens there by
pacific and legitimate means.

sight Of her Cuban officials, the carrying Of an
