The Cuba Expedition.

The Washington Republic expresses the belief
that the parties employed in this nefalious project
timely interfere nee, it being incontestable that il
the expedition had sailed and landed at any point
ofahe Island of Cuba, il would have been met by
an overwhelming Spanish force, for the captain
general was familiar with the plan,sapd, few or
none would have escaped massacre or The aARRoTE.
Therefore, instead Of the howl certain infatuated
malcontents, bent on their own destruction. are
raising in N. YORK and elsewhere against the Gov
ernment, and the presses tina, helped to open the
eyes OF the Government to the plot that was on
foot, we should have thanks from them for their

The following was adopted by recent Locofo-
co meeting in Columbia county
Resolred, That We rejoice at the prospect of
having the North Branch Canal completed, and
that, able as the State is to finish this necessary
part of her public improvements under her heavy
debt; it proves the high prosperity to which, un-
der Democratic policy. she has attained,

What has been Done.

IL ~ not quite year since Pennsylvania has
been under Whig Legislation. During that time,
however, short as il s, much has been accom-
plished for the People. It is known that in the
lower House there was q tie, with q Locofoco
Speaker, with the Senate Whig and Wing Gov
ernor. But even with that obstacle much has been
accomplished by the Wings. BY the General
Manufacturing Law. enacted by them, we see .
new spirit infused into the People, competition
aroused, and Cotton Factories in various portions
ofthe country are rapidly arising, despite the
pressure Of The tines As a consequence also,
our State character has been redeemed. The
Sinking Fund, SO bitterly opposed BY the Democ-
racy, in the Legislature, has met the expectation
Of its most sanguine friends. Already over ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS of the
State debt has been paid-the interest of which
was also paid in GoLD and SILVER, without the
aid Of temporary loans, as had been the case un-
der Locoioco Legislation, while at present there
are upwards of 100000 in the Sinking Fund, to
be applied to the liquidation OF the State Debt, ana
1t the same time, there is in the State Treasury,
he snm Of $l64Oo0, to be appropriated towards
he completion OF the North Branch Canal, which, I
5 hen completed will add much to the revenue of
he State and all this done too, with a decreased
evenue from our public works, conseqent upon
he depression of the times, and without any in- /
;rease of taxation, whatever. Are not these won
lerful results Is not such an Administration
worthy Of the support Of the People Do not the /
,ears of all Wings beat high, at this result, /
,rought about as il has been, by the men, who
ave been elected by their votes. VIII those
Who so nobly came to the rescue last Fall, stand

,e SO beneficial to the State.-Miner's Journal.
