If we are to believe half we read in the papers, then all Ettrop-, Kings, Queens, Peen and peo ple, have got the Baby fever—gone stark, star ing mad, because the Empress of all the French, bag presented her Right Royal Husband, the Emperor of all the French, with a right royal son And why 011-' 1 Queen Victoria, the' Snereign by legitimate right of one-fifth of the. human race—the annotowd ruler of the proudest Empire of the worl-1--bas done that same trick several times, and for aught we know, will bless ' the British natbn in the same way as many more, and yet tee E , ropean world was not oon• vulsed urn either oe...asion as it is now at the birth of this sewn of once despised and im pnAoned adveutlybr Strasburgh and l3ologne.

Our faith in Angl o .Saio n courage, and Yankee en thusiasm, has always led us to look upon the enterprise, hopelk ss and discouraging though it seemed upon the surface, as one that was bound to be carried nut tethe full fruition of the hopes of its leaders And we are not discouraged yet, though a powerul combination of other Central American States has been formed to drive Walk er and his men out of the country True, we have some doleful stories of the condition of the Filibusters—such, for instance, that the men are greatly debilitated by the climate, and were in great want of clothing and equipments, and that extraordinary strategems have been re sorted to for securing recruits, and in many in• stances forcible impressment has been brought to bear upon needy adventurers in their Journey ing' across the country. These, it is true, do not look much like the elements of sucoess, and, as the suspension of communication with the States by the withdrawal of the steamers would, fur a time, prevent the infusion of new vigor, Walker it was'supposted would have nothing else to rely upon, at least at the outset. So this supposi tion has been proved incorrect already Voisin- teen are already flocking to Walker's sterdaril through other channels than the withdrawn line of steamers. Thus, the brig Eureka was adver tised to leave New Orleans on the first instant for San Juan Nicaragua with a numerous corps of volunteers for Walker's army, and the steamer 1 , Chas. Morgan on the 10th, for the same destina tion, with a company recruited by Gen. Horns. by who was to accompany tuem. Hence it is more than liekly that the demonstration against Walker by Costa Rica and other Central Ameri. c a n St a t es , bias furnished him with the very pretext be stood in need of, and that he will prove himself equal to the desperate task that is before him.

We take it for pitted that no man who, like Judge 31cLesst, considers the obligations imposed by the Constitution of the United States as bind ing upon the people of the North as well as the South, can hope tt, concentrate the votes of the wad fanatics who desire to 'trample upon and r, uder nugatory the wise and just provisions of that sacred instrument Any man who reads the signs of the times with the eye of experience iiitt,t see that the candidate cannot be other than all ultraist—one of tlic CHASE, WILMOT, or PRESTON KING school ; and hence, in comuieut. ing upon the above, we desire nor cotemporary to distinctly understand that we do so to show our readers what " views of public policy" the tit eonsiolors "sound and defensible" in a Presidential candidate. The great complaint made by the Gazette against the Democrat iv party is that, by the Kausas•Nebraska bill, it repealed the "Missouri restriction, and thereby denied the right of Congress to legislate in regard to slavery in the to rritories That act declared emphatically that its true intent wa, neitho r to legislate I.la very into those territories, nor to exclude it thercfr“ui, but to leave the people to decide it. for themselves This, says the liaz, /rt. is an outrage this " is the infamous c,.ur.r of the Administration on the Kansas Nebraska question,"—aud to that course our cotemporary stands pledged .• to offer the moat determined resistant, " Very good ; but how stand, its cariidat,•, Judge 3.1(1.r.A5t, " !rhos, t o.,rs , n p , /icy," it declares, " or" sound and ," in regard to this very policy of Con gressional legislation for the territories What do e s he think about the Constitutionality of the Mi ,, ouri Compromise, or ...her legi , lation of like character ? l'erhapa oiir cotemporary isn't po,t ed, and so we will put. him ou tio• track In speaking upon the Wilmot Proviso iu the Congress, lien ('Ass made use of the following language, which we commend to the consol,ration „f the Erte ga:.ette it elueidate:• , , and explain. the •• view.,” of Judge Me! :AN upon the gn at issue brought before the country by the pasAago ~f the Kansa,Nebranka bill Said Gen : In eInIOVIVI7 V, I , •rtrttion••ri •r•?). r•./.;••rin 1•• N.. : •,• • rt. •r•,r•rr• • 1 . 1,4, 1 • • • u,..14,.• I j , ,, ..T Ova 4o .811k.oro1v cromird en Thal Ilvdrigni• •1 To to k Lnaald• orer Mr IrrrN..nn •11.1 Thai n 11,1 i, ln. 1..•.
