The New Scheme Of Gigantic spoiiatiOn and
Conquest.
From TAc NAR, Ang. 3.

From The San, aug. 3.
The BufaloHunt the Sierra Madre is only the be
aiming OF what contemporaries will yet be Obliged TO
chronicle. They may shut their eyes, laugh or ridcue
a thew please but as sure the gun shines the work
Il Notwithstanding this continent must go on. That
poet prophet who wrote,
westward the Star of Empire takes it's way"
And nv Westward he meant the New World, and the
Star Of Empire was the glorious star OF the United
S,ates First Mexico and Cuba and then the balance
Of the West Indies and the Canadas and brother iona
than will be satisfied.
And why should he not have these patches of earth
annexed 10 his great farm Is there anybody else on
earth who will till and guard them better, give their
people freer or nober institutions, or make them hap
per and is not this what all men are seeking alter =
They MT be rodden and plundered by John
Bull Queen Christina, Santa Anna but TO be free,
and eat their bread under their vine and hgtree
and that is what the American Eagle will let them do
and protect them In doing.
Our mawkish peighbors OF the press can groan over
the bondage of the people of Europe rejoice in their
revolutions for freedom, and send them words OF sym
pathv and purses Of gold to urge them against their ~
ants but when suffering our own continent
rrv ont against strike for liberty and seek
the shelter OF our Union they horrhed at the idea
Of welcoming them to the feast OF freedom. We do
not belong to this class we say freedom ioI az mas la
nuch as we by cur revolution set the example tor all
and peculiarly the duty OF this nation to assist and
frsternize with every struggle for liberty Come on
raw Mexico Cuba jamaica Canada, the shield OF
the Union IL broad enough for you ALL and you are
thrice welcome 70 It.

~ From the Havana letter of the PiedyHHe we ex'
tract the following
aOur Creoles are overoyed at the nomination of
Gen Cass for the Presidency and look forward 10 his
election as a good augury for them. Cass and Cuba
Is their hope IL is matter OF great remark here no"
much the desire for annexation the United states has
extended within two years. Among the CreOes IL is
universal and very many of the old Spaniards who hold
real estate favorable to the measure They care

that the army would make us call on its way home
from Mexico lie openly expressed"
We have doubt one OF these days, and at no dis
tant that Cuba will be rpe and eager Tor annexa
ton to the United States.
~ Where is the evidence that suffering
races lin Northern Mexicol cry out against OPP
preston 2" What oppression exists there, but
the very evils which these adventures are bent
on profting by-Savery and Land Monopoly
Is it not revolving to hear freedom, liberty,
sc. so gliby ratified off by the very faction which
is now keeping Oregon out of the protection and
security we owe her in order to force the Free
States to consent to the blackening of a new en-.
pre with Human Slavery Give them freer and
nobler institutions The csnting, hypocritical
villains mean to give them Carolina Slavery in
stead Of Mexican Peonsge--arsenic in place Of
bondage and striking against oppression.
Ii the People of Northern Mexico choose TO
be independent of the Central Government, they
need but to hit finger, and it is done. One
thousand good men can hur back any force that
may be sent against them. Mexico is far weaker
now than when Texas withstood and defeated
her. and the proposed Republic has Southern
and Western frontier of rare natural strength.
From the moment the region North OF the
Sierra Madre resolves to be independent the
work is done. But this Buffalo Hunt of FIVE
thousand armed men, led by General OF our
Army and offered from our recently discharged
Volunteers, is based ON perfect knowledge that
the People of the country 10 be invaded desire
nothing Of the kind Here and there one may
wish an ovcrturn but the great mass are intense
ly Mexican, and wish to be nothing else.
"A, TO Cuba, we are bound by every consider
stion Of policy and wisdom, to say nothing OF old
fashioned honesty and good faith, to let 1t alone
Ii we begin 10 intrigue for 1t, we justify Grea
Britain in doing likewise. We perfectly wei
know that il we thus provoke war, though We
might easily overrun Canada, we never could ac
quire Cuba, unless we choose to expend hundred
millions Of dollars TO construct fleet equal to the
British. The hes, we could do would be to Sc
cure the independence of Cuba, and that may bt
had at any time when the people are ready for it
But Sor the terror Of her Slaves, Cuba would be
free at once While she clings to Slavery, For
egn force and rule are essential to her civilized
existence.
