the following appropriate remark upon
the Planters convention, and commend
them to the attentive peruSal of the
planters Of our State. It has been a
subject already too long neglected. In
a confiding and liberal spirit our plan
tiers have permitted the merchants of
the North to amasS fortunes by ship
ping our products to foreign markets,
and while they are thus making large
profits from our trade, they are abn-
sing and vilifying us and our institu-
tions without measure. 1t is COM
pletely in our power to keep these
profits at home, and it is high time the
South should be awake to her true in.

A German Party in Missouri.

An influential German newspaper at st Louis,
entitled the .1nseiger de Westens, has lately an
nouced project 10 form new organization for
the purpose of regeneratins the Democratic par
ty in Missouri. The Editor, DR. Boernsten,
announces that "the Germans aught to organize
themselves into political party."-but for the
sake Of li5erality, he is willing to concede to
Americans, French, Swiss &C., the privilege of
being admitted therein also.
This project made thus by an influential lead
er of the Germans in St Louis, is denounced as
soon as made by the people of all nations not ex-
cepting the Germans themselves. The editor
perseveres. however. and declares that:
SIN city like st Louis. Of the six officers year.
~ to be elected, there should be three Germans
and three native born citizens. This would be
nothing more than fair; and were the Germans
firmly resolved 10 vote TOR 10 other ticket than
such a one. there would not only quickly be such
ticket, bat it would probably be elected"
The Missouri Republican, has taken bold and
decided stand in rebuk:ng this effort to revive ma
,iveism in another form. The Tribune Ger
man paper has also come out against the plan 5
and as well as we can judge. the Germans OF 81
Louis generally, look upon the movement with
disgust on the ground that it is tainted with the
spirit of nativesm or eXclusiveness.

The Coray upoa Caba.

The NJ Y. Express in an able article on the
subject Of the late foray upon Cuba, reviews the
authorities from vattel upon the duties and habll-
tiles of nations and applies them in the following
manner TO the late expeditions from the United
States against that Island:
l. That Spain has a perfect right to resist
these attempts, and in such manner as Will secure
her against their repetition;
2. That oar government is bound to prevent It's
citizens from making them;
3. That if it approves or ratltles such acts OF
its citizens, i; is responsible for them TO the
government of Spain.
4. That if, by repeated failures to do ITS duty
in this respect, it should accustom and authorize
IS citizens to make these inroads into Cuba, the
nation itself would be held guilty of the offence
5. Tha, na..'on which thus acquires reputa-
ton for iniuring Other powers. and exc''lng 40

6. That it would be Lawful, for 'ne uni'eo
States to assist the Cubans in the ference OF
their liberties, only when matters had been car
ried so far as to produce civil war; ths' IS:
when the oppressed people had taken up arms
against their oppressor, and were possessed or
sufficient strength to oppose him;
I. That there being no civil war in Cuba, the
interference Of orr Government to produce one
would be unustiiable, and the unauthorized liz
reference Of its citizens, still greater wrong,
because an offence against both national and do
mestic law;
8. That expeditions like those OF Lopez must
be suppressed, or the Government become an
swerable for them to Spain and the world, and
the national honor sullied before all civilized

Fate Of Lope1 and his followers.

The fate Of Lopez and his infatuated followers
has been sealed in blood. Such result was
hardly unexpected by those who have paid much
attention to the state of things in the Island of
Cuba since the landing Of his expedition. The
Cubans themselves, were hostile to his plans, and
without assistance from them. he had not the
slightest hope OF success, or even of escaping
from the Island with his life. His band Of fol-
lowers, particularly after their separation from
Crittenden and his command, was unable to eff
feet any thing, IN country where the people
were hostile, and where army Of ten thousand
disciplined troops could be brought against him.
His force was entirely too small to inspire any
| confidence among the Cubans, even if they were
ripe for rebellion, and yet entirely too large to
| become the mere food of the bayonet and the
grape shot. Who is there that does not lament
| the loss of many useful and valuable lives in
such perilous and insane adventure? Those
who have been instrumental in urging others to
| join in 1t, and who have thus been the means of
bringing sorrow and dcsolaton to so many homes
| viii have much to answer for Lopez, himself,
| has in great measure atoned for his folly. by
! his death. But there are Others who are far more
| deserving of censure. Those who were the au-
thors of the pretended declaration Of Independ-
eEce, purporting TO have been issued by the Pat
riots of the Island, on the 4th of July last, must
feel that they have justly drawn down upon them
selves the full weight of public odum. Many
were induced by it, to believe that the people of
Cuba were ripe for a revolt, and that large
portion Of the Spanish army on the Island would
! join the invaders the moment they made land
ing. So far as we are at present able to judge,
not one ofthe Inducements hell out to those who
gagged in the expedition, hare been realised. Lopez
landed without ammunition, without stores or
provisions, without artillery, and in fine without
any of those preparations which prudent or
sensible person would have deemed indispensable
to success The whole affair from its commence
ment to IFS bloody conclusion, was blunder-
the blind reckless adventure of one who is more
deserving of the name of madman than any other
As to those Americans captured, and at the la
test dates imprisoned on the Island, if they have
not already met the fate of Lopez and Crlttenden,
it is very much to be hoped that the authorities
at Havana, may be induced by the interpretation
| of our Government, or otherwise to spare their
lives, and suffer them to return to their friends
and homes, wiser and better men by the expert
ence which they will have acquired by following
the fortunes of an '-sarred adventurer.

Ths Missouri River Country in Iowa.

The Dubuque Herald has an interesting ac-
count of this portion Of the State from gentle

Hungarian Colony. Many of them consider II

possessing too few facilities for communication

unsettled country. Though in a fertile ami oea"-
