This is indeed loving oor enemies bitter thaa ousseives. In the English abolition excite. inent of I644, maay Americans were Illegally im- prisonsd. tortured, and ruined in Cuba and no ship ef the line was sent 10 cheer and protect then. - Our conssi af MatanEss throws Into dungeou withoat any form of law, and cast out of it again with ss iitfe ceremony, after months of suffering, aad the insults to our flag, which Spain would not have offered to France or England, have never etcitsd demand for explanation. much less a ship Of war. Mir. Bush taken from on board the Chiids Harold, from under the very foids of our lag. sud endured an imprisonment that destroyed his prospects, because some New York papers were foand 10 his state room. For American plpcrs on board an American vessel, a citizen lawiessly depdved of his liberty for long time, but no re dress has been asked or offered for the outrage.
 At Neuvitas. st Matanzas, and at Havana. our vessels are invaded and the right of search" exercised in its most offensive form the seizure and destruction of private correspondence, and we sub nit to it all In meek and accomplishing silence.- 1t pleased the Captain General of Cuba to warn ing example, and track the of his dispeasure, that even on uur soil and in the midst of cities he Is mighter than our laws, and can snatch his prey despite cur power.

 1t may bs in return for all these delicate marks af respect and affection, that the United States zsaioas for the interests of Spain; or Spain may
 offer them in gratitude to John c. Adamss eneretic care to prevent the independence of Cuba in 1894
 nevertheless Cuba need not despair. When her day
 finally comes she wi not fnd the people of the
