The Cnba Scheme.

On the First Page will be found sundry
articles embodying all the information at
present within our reach in respect 10 the
movements of the Slave Power for the acqui-
sition Of Cuba. That the scheme is an en-
tensive one-that the plotters have their
agents at various prominent points through
out the country that large sums of money
and supplies Of arms have been collected
that bodies Of men have been enlisted, and
are now waiting for a favorable moment 10
the work Of revolution and annex
alton, there seems no reason TO doubt. The
unexpec,ed disclosures which have taken
place may perhaps modify and postpone The
plans of the conspiratjrs; but the Slave Power
is elgle.eyed, and never slumbers nor sleeps,
and we have no idea that the scheme will be
abandoned. The people of the North will
ere long discover that their only security
against its Vaccinations lies in the dlssolu-
ton Of the infamous compact which binds
them to its bloody car. Official proclama-
tons from the present slaveholding admins
tration are worth no more than the SCHOOL
boys puny sword Of lath' to check the plot
tings of the desperadoes who stand ready to
wrest Cuba from the hands of Spain. They
will probably lull the North into a fatal secu-
rity, from which she will awake only when
it is too late. We doubt if they were even
intended to produce any other effect.
w annex the latest intel ligence from Cuba
showing the feve,ish condition Of the island /:
Private letters from Cuba state that the
island is in the greatest commotion, but make
not the slightest mention of insurrectionary
movements there, except in a single instance,
in which the Colonel and several of the Off
GERS Of one Of the regiments were wounded.
The Captain General was using the most
energetic measures to suppress any attempt
at rebellion.
BY an order Of the Captain General, the
falcon was prohibited from receiving any
passengers at Havana, and no U. S. news
papers were allowed TO pass through the Post
Office.
The Commander of the sloop of war Alba
ny, now at Round Island, has been requested
by the Consul at Havana to proceed there
Immediately. The blockade at Round Island
which has been so rigidly enforced for some
time is now discontinued.
P. S. Since The above was in type we
have received The New York Tribune of the
9th, which states that the propellers Sea Gull
and Florida and the fine steamer New Or
leans, then lying in the port of New York,
and suspected of being engaged in the mill
tary expedition against Cuba, were seized on
the 9th inst. by order of the Secretary of
State. On board the Sea Gull were found
1000 stands Of muskets, a large quantity Of
powder, and a small howitzer battery. Sew
eral officers of the expedition on being inter
rogated, said they supposed it was intended
for a descent upon Cuba.
This scheme of piracy and plumber is the
natural offspring Of the Mexican war, as that
war itself was the Legitimate fruit OF Slavery.
Down with the Constitution which binds the
North in political copartnership with mon
sters who feed and fatten upon human happi-
ness and hopes, and are ever ready TO invade
the homes and hearths Of those who stand in
The way of their diabolical schemes.
