Alliance for tho Protection Of Cuba,

Alliance for the Protection OF Cuba,
For some months there have been rumors Of a
projected alliance between France, England and
the United States, to guarantee the integrity
Of the Spanish territories in America. The New
York Courier publishes translation Of an arti-
Gle in the Cronica, Spanish paper published in
New York. From that article, it appears that
portion Of the Spaniards reject this dangerous pro-
lection The article is an amusing illustration Of
pride and poverty. The idea of the ability of
Spain to protect Cuba from the United States,
whenever we want it, is really rich. The only
mode by which Spain can do us any injury, would
be by licensing privateers. Such is the feeling of
the age that this species of private robbery will
be tolerated, and the United States will, in any
future war; denounce and treat as pirates, all mari
ners who may be found with arms in their hands,
unless they are citizens of the belligerenr.

be referred to, containing the exposition OF

any people shall change their government and
adopt one more nearly resembling our own, the
confederacy will at once recognize their right so to
do.
We believe the time is arrived when the United
States must take part in the political movements
of the old world. This correspondence exposes
the interest with which the despotic governments
have watched the recent dissensons in this country
The Chevaer closes his letter with what he doubt
less meant as significant allusion. "All countries
are obliged, at some period or other, to struggle
against mutual difficulties all form of governments
are exposed to such disagreeable episodes the
United States have had some experience in this
very recently" While these States remain united,
they are one of the great powers. Disunion, the
healing up with separate confederacies, would
friter away the vast strength we now possess.
Fortunately, this episode in our history is
past; all sectional jealousies are, for the time at
least, quoted; and this very hint carries in it
warning to our people which will not be soon for
