u Large and excited meetings of sympathizers
with the Cuban invaders have been held at New York

The cruel and needless massacre of the prisoners taken
by the SPanards, has produced a great sensation
throughout the country, and consequently strong mani

sons going from this country to Cuba, and committee
was appointed to collect funds for the revoutioniss-
AT some of the meetings, principles were avowed,
which would entirely justify the people of any other
country, in coming here and exciting the slaves to re-

such doctrines may yet be?

% A serious riot took place in New Orleans on
the 2lst inst, melted by the tone of the Spanish pa
per- 'La Patria, in relation to Cuban affairs The
office OF the papear was completely demolished
The rioters also attacked the office of the Spanish
Consul, and the Spanish coffee houses and cigar
shops, destroying the contents of each The Consul
was obliged to take refuge in the Jail from the fury
of the mob, who, numbering some two thousaud
persons, surrounded the prison and demanded that
ne should be given up to them. The police Of the
city guarded the prison but did not otherwise at
tempt an interference with the operations of the riot
ers 1t is said that indignation against the Consul
was created by hI having received letters from some
of the American prisoners who were subsequently
shot In the Cuban massacre and refusing to disclose
their contents 10 a committee who called upon him.
The city was in highly excited state, and the
military were ordered out.

The Freesoilers of Massachusetts must be con.
WINGED, by this time, that they have work before
them for the coming campagn-work that cannot
be neglected, without treachery to their principles,
and treachery to the sacred con6ded to their
keeping. However honest and true hearted por-
ton of the rank and file of the old parties may be,
it is becoming every day more and more apparent
that the leaders of them both-lhose who control
their action and give direction to it, each striy
ing 10 see which will stoop lowest to the slave power,
and be the most subservlent TO It's behests. They
do this, not from any particular innate love of slavery
itself, but from pure principle of selfshness, be-
cause the slave system is great engine of political
power, and they desire TO WELD it for the accom-
plishment of their own ambitious purposes.
To effect these, they mutually ready, as we
have seen, to strike down every guarantee of free
dom, every barrier against arbitrary power, which
the wisdom and patriotism of our orelathers engrat
ed into the Constitution, and sought to establish,
through the operation of that charter of our rights
and palladium of our liberties They have estab-
lished irresponsible legal tribunals unknown to the
constitution, and placed personal freedom at
their mercy, and when brought before them the tri-
al by jury is forbidden US. The habeas corpus, too

dare not suspend they have made DEAD LET
TER! They have given over vast amount of ter
ritory hitherto free, the laws OF Texas, 10 be over
run with slavery, and finally to be admitted into the
Union as slave States
Shall there never be any check to this downward
course 1t is very evident that there never will be,
but through the action Of those who cut themselves
asunder from all pro-slavery party connections, and
determine To sustain the constitution in its purity, at
whatever sacrifice of personal interests The num-
Der who will do this, will depend greatly on the real
devotion and efficiency manifested by the Freesoi
party. Ifby efficient and energetic action, it gives
promise of doing something effecual, then will thou
