Having determined early in lS48 that the
proper time had arrived for his contemplated in
surrection, he was induced to postpone it for a
short.time at the instance of his friends. This
delay led to the discovery Of his plans, the AZ
rest of his partzans, and his sudden embarka-
ton for the United States on board of vessel
bound to Bristol, Rhode Island.
After his escape he was condemned to death.
His friends were mostly released but some of
them sent out of the country. Since his arri-
val here he never ceased in one way or another
to pursue what had become his one idea, the
overthrow of the Spanish power in Cuba; and
for that purpose he has been constantly enga-
ged in planning and endeavoring to get up ex-
petitions in this country, to aid the inhabitants
of that beautiful island in throwing off the Span
ish. yoke. The first fruits of his labors was the
congregating last year, of band Of tiibusters
on Round Island, who were dispersed by order
of Gen. Taylor. The next was the ingorious,
though remarkable disastrous expedition against
Cardenas, which led many to doubt the skill, if
not the courage Of Gen. Lopez. The last and

minated his career on the lst instant by an ig-
nominious death upon the scaffold-being pub
licly garroted as a traitor and felon ut Havana,
in the presence of $4,000 troops and citizens.
His last enterprise was at best but poorly
planned-and badly, if not ingloriously execu-
ted. He received neither countenance nor sup
port from those whom he went to redeem; and
his fate, and that of his followers will serve as
a warning to others against engaging In hazard

to be free. The time for the liberation of Gu

it does, posterity may deal gently with the er-

ture day erect a monument to his memoroy on

Brother, art thou poor and lowly,
Toiling, drudging day by day,
Journeying painfully and slowly,
On thy dark and desert way;
Pause not-though the proud ones frown!
Sink not, fear not Live them down!
Though to Vice thou shall not pander,
Though TO Virtue thou mays't kneel,
Yet thou shalt escape not SANDER
Jibe and lie thy soul must feel
Jest of witling-curse of clown
Heed not either Live them down!
Hate may WELD her scourges horrid,
Malice may thy woes deride;
Scorn may bind with thorns thy forehead
Envy's spear may pierce thy side
Lo through Cross shall come the Crown!
Fear not foemen Live them down!

c. Aug. %, who has just been listening to the elo.
quence of Rev. Henry W. Beecher thus speaks of him:
lie is not afraid to denounce the fugitive slave Law
as Infamous He said Judas was not the worst man
that ever lived, by any means that there are many at
the present day, who, they had opportunity, would
sell Christ Tor less sum than Judas received. yea
SAID he, they will sell themselves for sixpence and
the purchaser gets cheated that think you' said
he, that those, who, in country, sell daily in
the market TO the highest bidder, the hinge Of their
Maker, would not have sold Christ had they been in
Judas's place' tell you there many Judases in
