The following extract from the National

Journal, together with the remarks of the

editor of the Nantucket Inquirer ; in regard to

the liberal course pursued by the conductor

of the Journal, are well worthy a re-publi

cation, not only because they contain some

useful and interesting information, but that

they agitate a subject which maj' be productive of some benefit to society. To the

editors of prints generally, it presents itself

with some force. They know their strength

and it cannot be much doubted, that they

will exercise it at the next election for Uni ted States' Printer.

In looking over this table, one may be surprised to see the vast disproportion between states at the south and west represented by natives of the north, and northern states represented by natives of the south or west. None of the New England States have a representative in Congress, born out of New-England; New-York has 12 Ncw-

England-men, 18 New-Yorkers, 1 Virginian, 1 Carolinian, 1 Scotchman, and 1 Welshman; New Jersey is wholly represented by

its own natives, as are the other middle

states in general; the southern states, par

ticularly Georgia, exhibit much variety in

this respect; the three members from Lou

isiana, were born respectively in Maryland,

JNew-York and Connecticut; Kentucky and Tennessee are represented principally by natives of Virginia and Pennsylvania; and

the other western states send many natives

ol the middle and northern states.

While on this subject, we cannot forbear

oilenng our humble commendatory tribute

to the paper whence the above information

is derived. This' singular document is of it

self an evidence of the industry and the abil-

ity with which the editor of the Journal performs his duties. We are clumsy hands at adulation ; but it is our honest opinion, without any attempt at circumlocutory qualification, that the National Journal is, unexcep-

tionably, the most useful paper now publish

ed in the United States. Its reports of the debates in Congress are prompt and ample; the most perfect confidence may be placed in the accuracy of those official documents with which it abounds; and its editorial department evinces the utmost dignity, decorum and urbanity. In addition to these good properties, which every other editor knows how to appreciate, we would notice the lib

erality which the proprietor exercises to

wards his professional brethren, in the way of exchanges. No public print, in any part of our country, is debarred by its humility

or its obscurity from a participation in the

intelligence which it is the object of the Na tional Journal to disseminate though un paid therefor by Government.

As an offset to this magnanimous course, we are constrained to point out the National Intelligencer. This paper, although enjoying

an exclusive monopoly of Government patronage, scorns a correspondence with other papers of humble pretentions, without an ex-

action oi whatever ditierence m price there

may happen to be. This custom might be

justifiable in any other than the Government paper; but in the case of the Intelligencer

we iook upon it to be wholly unwarrantable as well as mean and avaricious. Pampered

Havana. The state ot war in which we are placed with the Spanish nation, the interests of this country, and clamors of good men in the Island of Cuba, who have petitioned for aid, however trilling, from the Mexican republics, authorize the present undertaking. Occupy an enemy's position by a military manoeuvre, doing away injury to the nation, and securing innumerable advantages instead thereof, and delivering a country cf brother?, are inappreciable services which 1 7 it.

Soldiers! The operation you are about

to execute is the first of a combined plan. The military and many of the inhabitants

will co-operate with you lor its fulhhnent. You will maintain at every hazard the portion you are to occupy until I can join you. Soldiers! You are going to perform for your country a most important service, the eifectin of which will elevate vcu to the rank of heroes. You are about to secure the independence of this republic forever, as well as that of the island of Cuba. Soldiers! The nation confides to your valor and virtue the destinv of thousands. I cannot doubt, but that fifteen hundred men, animated with intentions like yours, will be enough to intimidate, and even vanquish the handful of mercenary soldiers, whom the captain general of that island can count upon; as otherwise, we have more. than enough of forces in the single province of Yucatan, to perform it with activity and enthusiasm.
