Shall our Government Rescue the E'i
rates

We think the United States should leave to
their fate, those cruel and wicked men, who have
abandoned hSr laws and jurisdiction TO rob and
revoluIIonlzc Cuba Such, We understood. was
her published intention at the outset. By en-
barking in that most nelarouS entorprze, to break
| down law IN Cuba, they have forfeited all claims
TO regal protection here, or there. They ere
empAalcally iIoS!es MID1ani gr1soriS These
reflections come u? BY reading last eyonings's
Telegraph, II seems that The L. $. Cousul ut
| llavanna, has demanded lO5 prisoners taken at
Contory, "a neutral territory as it is called who
mad started on their piracy, bat who as vet had
not landed or killed any poiy, bit who confess
cdly were Dartic.PS cr.R:aiS, and proceeding to
! the work.
The protence, set up is, that these men were
Illuminating whether they would not abandon the
enterprise and return. Bat who knows that
and when did ii come into their heads? Thy
were taken by tie Sparaids fagran'e BsiLo--
IN arms against Spain, as part OF, and in sympa-

country and It's laws, and put themsrlycr in op-
position TO them. They were scll-cXpatriated 70
alI intents, and the fact that they began to far
after Lopez was taken, is no mitigation Of their
crlmes-leaye them to Spain, they have 'lcctcd

Canadlans do with the piratical northerners, !la,
invaded their towns and villages? They hun5
them, and shot them, and put them out or tIa
way by summary law. Did the goyernm mt Of

And had the government i2terfer,d, would it
have avaed anything? No. \ dii.rent cours,
on the present occasion will furnish too mach
ground for the pFetence, tina. our government il
staggering and insoent when that w. ak cd
Spain is assailed, and that il is crawling and
mean when strong Old Britain is as assaed-
yielding and tinid when slave territory is TO be
acqmred-dnyelding and b. ave when lyse ter
riIoTy IS TO be acquired.
We arc not specially informed as to the m r,s
OF these matters, but from the lights we have.
we think the United States had better leave
SPAN to take care OF her own pirates. They
bad better be Spanards than Americans. They
are no loss to this country anyhow
