The REVOLUTION IN CUBA-Since the re-
eeipt of the intelligence of the revolt in Cuba,
it has been painful to observe the efforts OF the
anti Southern press, at home and abroad, to dis
cred { the reports which have reached MS OF the
successes of the patriots, and to suppress the
growing sympathy of our people IN their BEHALF
by misrepresenting the movement and the causes
which have impelled an oppressed and down.
trodden people to brave the formidable power
of the Spanish throne. These presses could
not believe the rumors of the rising at Principe,
so fully corroborated by accounts from various
sources, though they were prompt in giving
credit and currency to the false statements OF
the government, circulated by its spies and
agents. several of whom were sent over here In
the Isabel, especially for the purpose OF giving
a false coloring to the state OF affairs on the
island. =. ;,
Since the proofs of the actual rebellion and
the success which has thus far attended 1t, have
become so overwhelming as to leave them no
longer any pretext for contradlcting the reports,
the enemies of Cuba have changed their tciics
The cause of the patriots is pronounced hope
less-our own government is invoked (not IN
vain) to interpose its power to intercept all aid
TO the patriots from their friends in this country
while the terror of Spanish vengeance ispreached
no to deter our people from taking part IN the
struggle so manfully begun for Cuban emanci-
patton.
II requires no great amount of sagacity to un-
derstand the cause of this manifestation OF hos
tility TO the Cuban revolutionists. Ii there were
no prospect of annexation, or it We're possible TO
apply the Wilmot Proviso, an equally effective
Ler loci or compromise prohibition of the insti-
tuition of slavery in that rich and fertile island,
instead of so much incredulity, and such deli
cate regard for treaty obligations, we would
have had vast amount of patriotic enthusiasm
and disinterested devotion TO the cause OF hu-
man liberty. Ere now, rs in the case OF Hun
gary, an agent would have been despatched TO
the mountains Of Cuba in search of pro-
visional government, and we would have elo-
ouent arguments in favor of formal acknwol.
edgment Of the independence of the Queen OF
the Antilles
But the thing is understood and we are grail
fed to see that the Southern people are fully
sensible off motives and policy OF the enemies
of Cuba in the free States. They see IN II out
another phase of Northern hostility TO the instr
tutions of the South-they see in it practical
development Of their fixed determination to put
in force the Freesoil edct-"No MORE SLAVE
STATES SHALL BE ADMITTED INTO THIS UNIosT-
and they are resolved not to- submit to the i'm
perious dctaton! They are determined that the
institution Of sayery,planted on our soil byother
hands, shall not be made the pretextfor depriving
us Of our equal rights in the Union, nor the
means Of preventing us from progressive ad-
vancement in territory, power and wealth, with
the other sections of the Union.
Whatever may be our temporary party divi-
sons, the great mass Of the Southern people are
determined in this matter DETERMINATIONS
against our institutions iciH no longer De fole-
rated, and all efforts on the part Of our govern
ment TO suppress the present moyementto Cuba,
will only tend to increase this determination, as
IL serves TO convince us Of the ultimate aims OF
the enemies Of our institutions The opposition
from the free States " i'll only arouse the sym.
pathies Of the men OF the South, who will be de-
TERED neither by the vigilance Of the government
-at Washington, nor the threats OF Spanish ven
geance, from giving efficient "aid and comfort
10 the brave men of Cuba, who are now herol-
cay struggling TO free themselves from the vilest
despotism that ever disgraced the name Of gov

terms Of our treaty stipuatons with Spain by
organizing military expeditions within the juris-
