The Philadelphia BpAstin, independent, manifests
q strong partiality for the Cuban cause. The
Washington Uaion, democratic, /. Indignant Mt
the mana i've of the scenes enas sted at Havana. II
dsplores that there is no government at Washing
ton to act on the subject-tbat the Prosidon. has
gene on an elsctoneerDg tour, and that there is
hope Of any speedy In movement on the part of the
cabinet. 1t continues by stating the circumstances
attelding the capture and the execution of Ame-
rean citizens by the Spanish authorties--consures
the Consul and quotes Mr.. Webster's letter to
MIR. Fox as evidence that the victims we're not
pirates, to be shot do yn without trial. The
Syracuse Siar, national whig, is disposed to think
that there will be large body Of men from Ar
kansas and the Southern States ready to procssd
to Cuba. AMI proposes blockade Of the
mouth Of the Missesipi i, to stop vessels from
giving aid to the Cubans. Tho Pennsylvania,
rational democratic journal, is in favor OF
the Popular feeling, and - sympathises strongly with
the attempt Of the Cubios to revolutionize tho
island II calls upon tto government to demand
explanations Of the Spcni authorities, and GEN.
suIes the conduct of he American Consul, as on

Amer citizens ought to be to the principles
upon which our institationJ are TO anded, and that
We have strong natural and nati onal right to

what n ght be terme! a selash, argument on the
subject 1t does not fear the annexation Of Cuba
hecause of sny fatal drsio tho slave population

United Statss would be incopgrueus and unnatural
10 doea not meddc with the practical part Of this
absorting question. The Savannah Georgita,
hciuHioaa, and the Meas, are all in favor of the
revolution. The former says:-" We believe that
an Independent provisional government has been
organized, end We should not be surprised, nj any
hour, to see the Pampero, With the aag Of inie-
pendent Cuba unfurled from her mast, make her
entrance into our port, amidst shouts Of welcome"
Such s-e some OF tho opinion which hare ap-

Only hope Of any party must be in a candida
