THE SLAVES OF CUBA.

A correspondent Of the Charleston Courier says ssI
learn, from good source that il is known The diplomatic
circles in Washington that the Captain General Of the
Island Of Cuba has been directed by his Governmetto ber
ate all the slaves of serious attempt invasion
insuuecon That the Spanish Government has given out
this hint, in an official form, know"
We cannot say whether it is "known to the d-
plomatic circles" here, or whether the "Spanish
Government has given out that it will liberate all
the slaves in Cuba in of an invasion !; but that
II will berate them, should much danger be appre-
hended from the invaders, we can readily believe.
Before Spain will surrender that island to revolu-
tionizing force from within or from without she will
make it desert. Possibly she might sell it for an
exorbitant price, but those who get it in any other
way than by purchase will have TO fight hard for it,
We of opinion therefore, that those projects Of
invasion that have been gotenup or are getting up
in this country injudicous, iltimed, and badly
calculated, leaving out of view the question of pro-
priety. The idea that couple of thousand, or
such matter, of Americans, landed on the coast,
can reyoutonize the island, is to US most prepos-
terous. They may land and may make little
progress, but the expedition will be failure, and
those who value their necks had best keep clear of
the business for the present at all events for, re-
garded in the low light of mere speculation, we
cannot think of any less likely to make renuner-
ating return-Uashiagto Globe.

In 1890, when the seat of Government was held
in New York, certain discontented and ambitious
spirits, who magnifed molehls into mountains,
talked strongly of dissolving the Union. General
WASHINGTON, in letter to Colonel stewart, of
Arlington, Virginia, said it was impossible to satisfy
such men, for that, being disappointed and chagrin-
ed because, on visiting the seat of Government,
they thought their merits were undervaued, they
sought in dissolution of the Union cure for
wounded vanity. When we see men prickng up
their ears at every preext likely to justify treason
to their country, and gloating over whatever has
tendency to minister to morbid appetite for civil
strife and contention, we cannot help thinking that
the causes assigned by the immortal WAsHINeToN
for the discontents Of his day are equally applicable
to some of our modern political Lucifers.

SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1850.

We have never, we think, on any former occa-
sion, seen the Senate Chamber SO crammed with
human beings as it was yesterday by the multiudes
of both sexes who were attracted thther by an
eager desire to hear Mr.. WEBsTER's speech. The
usual desire to hear an able and eloquent speech
was on this occasion greatly augmented by a
general conviction of the great importance of the
opinions which Mr.. WEBSTER should declare on
the sgtating topic of the day, and the powerful
effect which their solemn annunciation would pro-
duce on public feeling, both North and South.
All this had filled the public mind with an unusual
anxiety to hear the speech, and occasioned such a
press for admission that the Senators themselves
were in great part crowded out Of their seats and
the whole body of the chamber, as well as the
galleries and lobbies, were filled with dense and
brilliant audience.
Ofthe speech-as we are, through the exertions
of our admirable Reporters, able TO give full report
in this mornings paper-it can speak for itself.
We will only say that its importance not over
rated that it added fresh lustre to the fame of the
great orator, and gave fresh proofs of his truly
national and patriotic spirit. The public voice all
around US, as far as it could be heard, and from
persons of all sections of the Union, expressed no
feeling but that of grati6cation-no opinion but
that of appreciation and Of anticipation that its
liberal and concliaory spirit would have the hap.
piest effect in tranqullzing the present excitement
and re-assuring the friends of the Union throughou
the country.

We are in favor of the admission of California
with her present constitution and boundaries we
do not want the latter reduced because of the greater
influence it would give the free States in the Sc
nate (unless the line of 36o go be established to
the Pacific, and even then we have serious doubts
whether slavery would exist in the State mme-
diaely south Of that line j but, notwithstanding
our advocacy of the admission, something is due to
the rights and feelings of Southern Representatives,
and we would resist any effort to apply the gag of
the previous question promptly as though we
were violently opposed to her admission.
