notwithstanding the Republican press and the

terms that Admiral WuKEs should be sustained

from Republican sources against England for
permitting the Confederates to ft out privateers

France desires the control of Mexico as a com

is prize worthy the effort of great nation to

the entire energies of the Government in the vain
attempt TO subiugate its partizan opponents and
perpetuste party rule, Louis NAPOLEON gathers
the golden fruit
We noticed in some leading Republican paper
Q few DAYS ago. an enumeration Of the triumphs
OF this Administration. among which it boasted
national paper currency and almost exclusive
protective tariff. These two financial fallacies

dated. and. just as the country had
settled upon firm aud safe CON-

theories of the past. II the scheme of the Ad-

must. an immense drain on the national 70
sources. should be successful. in addition TO that
enormous burden upon the country. We have the
prospec, of financial crash. uuequaled BY any
previous paper bubble explosions. with all its at

based upon rapidly extending paper currency
can not last long and when the revulsion comes

must follow. would have been avoided to a great
extent, il not altogether. The terrible civil
war. with its immense cost OF blood and treasure
already should not have been permitted to alb
sorb the energies and resources of the nation for
two years and . half. and still progressing with
the same gigantic proportions The policy of
the Government, in both its external and inter
nal relations. would not have been disturbed and
radically changed. threatening not only the SUBJ
version of constitutional government and popular
institutions but widespread financial disasters if
the visionary and one idea men which abolition

The President declined TO entertain them. as will
appear from the correspondence between those
parties, which are published TO day. A short

Such some Of the fruits OF Republican
diplomacy and Republican craftsmanship. We
