such guerdon awaits them in other countries Hence u
they have sigh for su0gs in lands they could not hops
appropriate risks TO free the oppressed who are too
poor 10 pay such disinferested friends Of liberty
And is not Of oil things most strange that Southern men
should be found acting upon false and dang prnc
Pile What if il commended-by frantic zeal or hope
Of gain cusading against The South and her ns,uons-to
their lips Have they eaten of the insane roo, to re-
cognise principle not only revongly false wherever applied,
but Of the readest and dangerous application to them
selves and their dearest interests
Many have dearly paid for the folly and the crime Of which
they have been guily-or crime il is and great crimes
crime against the first and greatest blessing of ALL ndvi-
duas natonse right of inUioate peace and security
tcithin their oDn doors and their onn territories.
IL there be those who would allow unresenng another 70
armed his dwelling, interfere focbly with his do
mestc arangements-if there be an American who would
sllow foreigner, with n his hands, to come upon
American soil to remedy American gevanceset such ~ nm
pshizs with those who, forgetting their duty to their neigh
bo well to hemseves and their country paid with their
lives for attempting by violence remedy Cuban grievances
But let those who would repel from their DOORS at any
hszard any who sought orciby to enter hem-who would
shoot the shore any armed foreigner who overurn
nstutons-julge Of others they would desire 10
be judged themselves and smenng, as all who have human
hearts lament sad fate bee the Cuban INVADERS
yet admit it punishment which if they, more merciiu
would not unspaingy have inflicted, yet one which
stern justice had the right to exact and remember tba
should the lesson teaches ALL to abstain from gratuous
and injurious ntermeddng in their neghborS AFFAIRS be
not thrown away it may not only save rivers OF blood na
might have flowed from persistence in this wicked project
but too the peace Of the world and more important to
US least if not our whole race, the integrity Of our
blessed Union.
FROM THE QUINCY (MAss PATRIOT.
The INVASION CUBA.-We have felt absolutely over
whemed with confusion the of this nefarious pro-
ect and the direct indirect support It hiss received at the
hands of numbers in countrynot the unpncped the
reckless the nconsderae aonenot the restless the advsn
,u!ou' the idle whose very lack Of employment eosenass
spirit Of evil but d sound mind, sober Judgment up
right principles and who have the reputation of respecting
the rights of others.

encourage the advenurerr, and dgny them with
the appellation of PArRIors " Such PROCLAMATION has
cited astonishment and disgust. "Pdtriot What
patriot! orer af his country; or, as Johnson has
II one whose ruling passion is the love OF his coun-
try" And is this the way to evnce passionate love OF ones
country to bring disgrace upon it's contempt upon its
citizens To outrage the law nations and induce the
pcon that the American Government coDnve at such
arociiy The very idea is against common sense,
and can be cherished only by those who lay claims to
sanity
1t is not useful or manly to call names There is
gumen reason, logic in doing this but the character
Of those who invade the property Of others with intent to
kill whether individuals nations, where war exists by
public declaration, too well understood to lead to any
mistake the title to be applied to them AT they
have been long known buccaneers buses pirates, c
and land feebooters robbers band &c. And those
who die in such service suffer felons DEATH and torture
of language or Of sentiment gainsay it.
If the Cubans like the American cooniss before the Re-
voluton feeling the weight Of arbitrary power be too OPP
pressve for ,ndurance resolve to throw off the royal yoke
and asue their manifesto, declaring their purpose before the
world to establish free government their would be al
together dersnt from the under consideration Then,
individuals enstng in the army Of those banded for freedom
might challente the sympathy of the god Of all nations
Lafayette Kosusko, Seuben aud others Of their
class attacked to the army Of the American Coloniss in
their struggle forndepcndence, and the world numbers them
among its heroes. But is there individual bold enough
affirm that such be found among the forces of Lopez
and his comrades Does not every one know that
thirst for conquest desire for the possessions belonging to
others, for glory in unghteous that hurried
these hodes of victims their destruction and perpetual in
fanny
Doubtless there some who snned through ignorance
and who less cupe than the better instructed who
stimulated and urged then But few indeed they
who could suppose their course to be lawful right Not
only was opposed to evey principle of propety known to
each child in land, but four months ago, the President
Of the United States issued his proclamation citing the spe
cc law Of the country which would be conavened by
raising forces for such expedition warning the people
against engaging in the unlawful enterprise.
THE CINCINNATI
Wegive to-day another, and trust the 6nal chapter in
the history Of the efforts that have been made accomplish
the annexation of Cuba to the United STATES. And what
sad termination does disclose The principal leaders
cuted and the entire expedition completely annihated
The narrative nfihe prisoners shows ho whole machi
merry by which the movement was gotten up prosecuted and
sustained and betsys how completely shoe embarked in
were deceived.
The Cuban expedition will stand out in history of
the most ess rssh and oolhardy even6 the nineteenth
century The wonder will be not that il go completely and
signa failed but that five hundred men could be found 80
blinded by their expectations not to he able to see through
the shallow ar6ces employed to deceive them that they
had the chance for The American por
on Of its history will probably be written If could
be- it would reveal tale of sebood, forgery, and Deceit and
Of mercenary motive coaked with the patriotism and
love Of liberty that would disgrace the darkest period Of tde
middle age.

Thus it will be that confdng young countymen

called upon admire the hero Of liberty and whom,
perhaps, shall be invoked the martyr Of lib
