HICIIMOND PALLADIUM.!

Friday Moraia, April 1 Extra Ssojr or Conoaass. The editor of the New York Herald i urgiatg the call of un extra e.ion of Ccngrets. to take into consideration our relation with Spain. He assert that three meeting of the Cabinet hare been held to consult upon the propriety of issuing a call for the assembling of Congress that Marcy faror the call, and that Davia is rio'.entlj in faror of doing something. "The object of the Herald editor is to hare Congress authorize reprisals against Spain, and right it out to the taking Cuba. The hurry rki. mitur. in his opinion is. that before Congress will meet in its regular session, there j aay possibly be peace in fcurope, ana an atr ;empt to secure an European balance of power .a the American waters would drive us into i. war with allied Europe. We suppose he ihinks it would be easier to whip Spain alone. hile England and France are engaged with ftussia, than where all would be combined i rainst the United State. An extra session of Congres would hardly appreciate so highly the acquisition of Cuba, as does the editor f the Herald. Congress would hardly entertain o many fears of Europe acquiring the "balance of power" in American waters, as does Mr. Bennett, and jence we would regard a call for an extra seaion as worse than ustles. The Administration has got into difficulties with Cuba, and :. t the Administration get out of it as best it ; can. The people of this country want no war) .vith Spain, nor do tney aesire me acquisition of Cuba. War Tni onlt Saltation or the Administration. The pro-slavery members of the Administration party now in power at Washington, finding itself deserted by its friends, :tid about to sink into its original elements, rith tho contempt of all good men upon it. let-m that something must be done to revive its sinking fortunes. To this end the Union. ;is the organ of the powers that be, is daily -ngaged in denunciation of the "bitter wrongs, xnd outrages" which have been perpetrated) vjainst the honor and fair fame of our nation j by the Cubans. No act or aggression on ner rart has yet been committed, but the Cubans ;ir to be provoked into some act upon which mother lie can be founded, which shall be construed to mean that a "state of war exists," md thus permit the valiant commander on Und and sea. Gen. Pierce, to engage in a war which will excite the sympathy of our people, md cause them to rally around him in a deinivf war. The lettet writers from WashWilton declare that war is now the subject of most every conversation in the streets of thar ,-ity, and that serious apprehensions are enter':uncd of difficulty at an early day. It is ,id the ad ruViat ration "contemplate energetic measures" that "important naval moveinents" are being made that "orders have ?n serif to TensacoK Norfolk. Philadelphia, , Tr ton . to have all available All will recollect that such was the course ursued by Mr. Polk in getting up the Mexiau wr, and there is an additional inducement for Mr. Pierce to act thus upon his own cfponsibility. The next house of Representees will oppose all filibustering crusades igainst Cuba, and a war can only be gotten up y committing the Government before the meeting of Congress. The people, were it possible, should arrest ' ten. Pierce, punish him for an "attempt to provoke a quarrel," and "bind him over to Keep the peace." There should be some more -ummary process in our government to arrest he reckless course of those clothed with Executive powers, than that of Congress. True, ," ail Presidents and their Cabinet would act trictly under the powers delegated to them aider our constitution, the controlling in du nce of Congress would be ufficient; but too' frequently have our rulers assumed to act in- j dependent of and in the vacation of Congress, o as to place the representatives of the people in a position that requires them to aet entirely contrary to the manner in which they would have acted had they been consulted in :he original state offsets. An at'emptis now being made to thus place the next Congress, but it is to be hoped that a rebuke will be iven to those who are striving to commit our Government to a wrong. Mr. Socle's Mission to Spain. It i said bat our Government's late Minister to Spain is about to publish a history of his mission to .he Court of Spain, with a full expose of all the secret wire pulling at Washington, by which his efforts for a satisfactory adjustment of the Cuban question were crossed and thwarted, together with various interesting and rpicy episodes, in the shape of court intrigues, court amusement. fcc. by which his mifsion was so elaborately diversine i. It will doubtless prove a rich book. The corruptions of 'the Court of Spain are proverbial, and that o: our own Government not much less so. The book will have a great tun. as all read with avidity the testimony of the witness who. lor his country' good, turns "Stale's eYidocce." to convict hi late associates of crime. Mr. Soule is doubtless competent to the task, as he was on of the criminal actors in the scene he will hare to describe. , Th Cemetery A the present is the moat) appropriate season of the year for transplanting evergreen and other shrubbery, we beg leave, most respectfully to call attention to the very laudable effort which have been made by Messrs. Shombre St Miller to get up a Ct-metery which will be an honor and an ornament to our city. They have most elevated and appropriate location have enclosed it with a substantial fence ornamented it with a large number of trees and shrubbery; and have sold quite a number of lots to citizen who are beautifying then by appropriate improvements.
