Tie Bulletin Of yesterday admits the right Of
American citizens to engage in this enterprise
when once the war breaks out, but does object to
their taking the initiative when there is no certain
information Of the wishes Of the people themselves
But Il isfair 20 presume that men would cot engage
in an adventure Of this kind, without kaosoing
exactly the state of the popular feeling the Island
There are many reasons for the conoealment Of the
Information upon which they acted. The Bulletin,
like ourselves, is ignorant on this subject Not so
with these gallant and adventurous spirits. As we
have already said the initiative was TAKEN and the
revolution commenced, when the wealthy men Of
the Island contributed millions to the cause
The Bulletin thinks the Spanish Government
viii emancipate the blacks Such step would be
in violation Of the usages Of war. The inevitable
result would be the death Of every Spaniard on the
Island, and the humiliation of the miserable slaves
themselves This threat has as little terror, as that
which British writer's use when there is any ap-
pearance Of difficulty between Great Britain and
America-that they will send the black regiments
into the Southern States. We will not pursue that
subject further at this time But We wish to know
whether the people of Cuba really hold their pro.
perty only at the will and pleasure of the King
Can he take away their plantations or slaves? II
50, i is not difficult to conceive that the people must
eagerly desire emancipation from such despotism.
The Bulletin fears, too, that the great powers Of
Europe will object to our acquisition Of Cuba
Thank God, America is at length able to play her
part in the great drama Of the world. Grea. Britain
and France united cannot wrest Cuba from us.
England with her immense debt, her grinding
taxation, her CALLING dependence on American cot
ton, and her insecure grasp Ireland and the
Cs.aadas, is not match for the weaker but unfet
tered rival. France has been for a century the
natural ally Of America. Historic memories have
strong hold that enthusiastic people, and they
will not enter into war with the nation which
was the first to welcome them on their redemption
France is not commercial nation. She is the
Florence Of the present century--the great work
shop and mandatory Of the world The genius
Of her people is artistic, not commercial. She
would prefer that Cuba should be one of the
American States, than to remain Spanish colony,
or British stronghold. This country has nothing
70 fear from European interference. The Northern
States will readily admit Cuba as a counterpoise to
Canada. At the same time the abolitionists them
selves will favor the movement, as thus the horrible
African trade will be stopped, and slavery will then
assume the milder form which it exhibits in the
United States.
While we are induging in these speculations
the armament has landed and the blow been struck
from which to flow consequences of such
political and social Importance.
