BADSTATE OF THlNasl IN CuBA.--A letter re-
ceived in Boston from Havana, ofrecent date
written by an intelligent gentleman, who has
spent some ten or twelve years in the vicinity
gives most deplorabe account of the state o.
affairs in that place. The writer says:
The distress which prevails in the communi
ty is truly alarming. Daily there are failures
Of one or more houses, hitherto extensively en-
gagged in trade. During the week ending July
~, more than twenty-five mercantile houses
suspended payment. Yesterday followed to
the grave the remains of one of our first mer-
chants, who, frantic al finding himself IRE
trievably ruined, committed suicide. Many
others, owing from fifty to one hundred thous-
and dollars, have left the city, unwilling to
meet the gaze of those with whom they have
been accustomed to associate III the time Of
their prosperity. 1t is estimated that there
are in this vicinity, but outside the city walls
some eighteen thousand souls, who, lacking
the means to supply themselves with the daily
necessaries of lille, are literally furnishing with
hunger. These consist, chiefly, of cigar ma
kers, whose employers have been obliged to
close their factories for the want of means to
prosecute their business. In this state Of things
il requires no stretch of the imagination TO in
duce The most gloomy foreboding. grant
that in this connection the mind is apt 10 re-
cur TO the scenes that are enacting abroad, bu
il must be remembered that these act as incen-
lives to the disaffected, to which class the grea
mass ofthe Creole population belong.

GEN. CAss STILL FOR WAR.-We clip the fol-
lowing paragra phi from the Washington Union:
Because, as Lewis Cass will be triumphant-
" elected, be will not submit 10 the foreign
dictation of Great Britain, but will if that
naughty and overbearing power dare insult our
country, take ample vengeance upon her for all
the Trongs she has inflicted upon the human
race in emery quarter Of the globe, and will ig-
ANONYMOUSLY expel her from the shores of this
continent; thus aifording to the brave but op-
pressed Irish nation an opportunity to recover
its long lost nationality"
Great Britain has inflicted wrongs upon the
human race, and Gen. Cas- would plunge ,hi.
country into War with her TO redress those
wrongs This is progressive Democracy!

THE COALITION,

MIR. Van Buren, is now, we presume, to re-
ceive the supp ort of the Abolitionists, and il
may be well to state what were the points
on which they were formerly, and even now
are, as far as we know, opposed to each other.
The Abolitionists are in favor of the abo-
lition Of slavery in the District Of Column
bia. Mr.. Van Buren, is strenuously opposed
to it.
The Aboli,ionists are in favor of using
the influence of the General Government
against Slavery. Mr.. Van Buren, it opposed
TO this; he is for letting Slavery remain as
it Is.
The Abolitionists are for breaking up the
slave trade between the States. Mr.. Van
Buren's former course would indicate, tina,
here also he is in direct opposition to them.
He was, and we believe is, in favor oil
opening the mails TO destroy their publica-
tons.
The Abolitionist profess to believe free ter.
ritory the great, the paramount, the absorbing
issue of the day. Mr. Van Buren, was content
to support any nominee of the Baltimore Con
vention provided his friends were only admit.
ted there, who should be content to say moth
ing about free territory, without questioning
him at all on the subject. And he thus has
shown that free territory, in his opinion
was only a good bait to catch the unwary
The cry Of the leaders of the Abolition part,
for the nomination of Van Buren,, forcibly re-
minds us Of the frogs in the fable to Jupiter TO
a King, who at length, wearied with their i'm
portunity, sent them Stork, that ate then
up. Abolition has not only stulti6ed, it ha
destroyed itself; and hence some good may re
suit from the present movement.

TThe Louisville Journal says: The Loco
foco editors in Indiana are continually engaged
in denounciag Gen. Taylor because, jn making
up his official report of the battle of Buena Wis
ia in accordance with the reports of Generals
Wool, Lane, and others, he alluded to the fact
that the second Indiana regiment retreated du-
ring the action. They do not preiead L0 deny
the fact that the regiment retreated, while they
utter bitter and malicious denunciations against
Taylor for mentioning the fact as inoffensively
ss possible.
The Indiana State Journal states that Gen.
Cass, in 1914, in speaking of the conduct of tht
militia called out TO defend Buffalo, de-
clared that they call, except very few oil
them, behaved in the most cowardly manner
and fed without firing musket." Gen. Tay
lor's language was much less offensive, and
If he il 20 be censured for abusing volunteers
what ought 10 be said of Cass?
