" But the fact of its passage is the less fact

of the spirit of the meeting it may be stated that
Mr.. CARR, in the course Of his address, stated to
the crowd that later intelligence had been received
from Cuba than that contained in the newspapers,
which was, that Gen. LOPEZ had gained con.
quest so great that there was no hope Of stopping
the progress of liberty there" This was received
with loud bursts Of applause. The cause ofliberty
he said, was spreading from Cuba to Mexico, and
he predicted that in less than one year the whole

slavery. 1t says:
"Such movements in free States, carried forward
with the incorporate zeal which distinguishes
Northern fanatcism, do more to sustain and per-
petuate slavery than the annexation of dozen
Cubas would do. They breed bad feeling at the
South, and create reaction there against the
cause Of emancipation. Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, and perhaps Kentucky, had now been
free States if left to their own counsels But the
Abolition movements at the North have broken
up the emancipation societies of the South and
