The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-08-02

The public must expect soon 10 see signs OF great con-
sernaion at Washington and among the government Of
hcals everywhere, about the uprising of the patriots OF
Cuba against their tyrannical oppressors We to
this conclusion from the astonishing editorial this sub
Iect which appeared in the American yesterday, and
from which We quote as follows
elf the inhabitants of Cuba truly desire indepe ndence
and ready to strike for II, and peril all for it, why,
it would be reasonable appeal 10 avalanche or to
cataract and ask stay its course as to address re-
monsances 10 the people OF this country under the sup
position that their sympahes and their aid could be denied
to the patriots OF Cuba. YET the government must be
true TO It's International obligations Let us take our
stand at once upon this ground We have all the
administration II has conducted the public affairs ad
mlrably that The Pathfinder put the blush when he
seeks to invent complaints against IT, We have no dis
trust oil President Fillmore IN this eXigency He will do
wha, the national honor and the national interests require
and 1t is with feeling OF profound satisfaction that
can express, do sincerely, this sentiment of conf
dence IN him and his constitutional advisers 1t is from
the purpose and out OF the question TO attempt conceal
the Importance OF the crisis. Whatever justice, what.
ever power whatever determination aud Inhexibty of
purpose the administration possesses command-al
will be needed 10 conduct the republic safely and honor
ably through this difficulty.
" II could persuade ourselves that the accounts
from Cuba exaggerated, and that discomfort exists
there TO the degree we have information o-wha then ;
Why everybody knows that the struggle take place
some time other. If il is not now, here
alter The book OF late need not be opened beyond its
present pages TO give knowledge OF that The fac, that
the CubaDs dissatisfied with their governmental fact
which plainly set forth IN their Dsurrecon and In the
declaration which they have formally made was not
hitherto credited very generally in this country and the
attempts OF Cuban invaders who sought to disturb the
peace OF the island, regarded the ouages OF free
hooters, and almost universally condemned These
adventures may go forward under a plausible
preex We cannot shut eyes to the real state Of the
IL IS for the government TO be It's guard, with
full knowledge OF the difficulties it has 10 encounter IL
will be subjected to mPuations from many qgarte-to
charges OF bad faith and OF secret connvauce to ale
cations OF want OF sympathy with struggling for
freedom. Let II be true to itself and TO its constitutional
obligations OF duty, and IL will have the firm support Of
good citizens under all contingencies"
Now, here is appeal to the American government to
exert all its powers 10 prevent American citizens from
flying TO the aid OF the oppressed and downrodden sons
of Caba and here is most vehement call upon all its
officials to and the Spanish government in keeping the
iron heel of despotsm upon the neeks OF that long su
iering people II such doctrines had been preached in
France in the youthful days of La Fayette patriot
fathers would have struggled in vain against the British
government and II such a spirit had been manifested
und er the administrations of Madison and Monroe the
republicans OF South America would have been crushed
by the power OF Old Spain. In spite of these calls upon
the administration all the forces OF the government
against the Cuban patriots, hope that may
speedily reach them from Shores and that the day
is close at hand when their triumph will be glorious and
complete, both the Spanish government and its
wing allies here In this hope thousands OF both parties
in this country, we feel satisfied will most heartily
unite
