MOBBING OF "LA UNION" OFFICE.
The tone of "La Union," the Spanish paper
published in New Orleans, has recently become
very offensive to the "Sympathisers" in and about
the region of that City. In its issue OF the
18th inst, it thus insultingly alludes to the "no
bodies" who talk of wrestling Cuba from the Span
ish dominion:
"Those we hear OF at meetings, or whose names we
see dabbed down at the fool OF resolutions in regard
tie movement are those OF best and most trust
worthy citizens; far from that for We only see those Of
persons deucedy hard up and hungry sharks TOR
something to devour Besides this we hear OF persons
that we heard of before who are mixed up the
business and after the excitement shall cease perhaps
we shall them again mentioned in print, until
some hne morning, when We shall read them in some
police report, IN the sme journals in which they are
now so honor0bty mentioned. These are the people
when are SO Tree in their abuse toward the spanish
government denouncing it as the most tyrannIcai and
despouc on earth; who at every instant magn the no
pie Castllan; these are they, who, as the New DIX
Mirror says, would butcher their grandmothers
In the organs OF this unprncpled clan, lind SO many
Jhe articles, exhibiting much morality, and SO nuch
deep elt sympathy for the Cubans and SO much lndlg
nation towards the Spaniards that we might conslaer
the writers OF them, the most humane and sell sacfi
cling fellows rh had not proofs 10 the contra
ry, which their articles appear in our eyes, us
the most pltul and despcable OF all hypocrisy ahu
baseness."
Farther on in the same article, the editor 'eils
the Sympathisers that they are set OF fools--that
they know nothing of Cuba-that there is lnfl-
nitely more liberty there than in the United States,
&c. Hear him
"Much is said about the sngency OF the laws OF that
island but the restrictions bear only upon the bad and
the good part OF the population enjoys more liberty
now than would, il the island should be annexed to
| the United States We, during our many years resi-
dence the island enjoyed more liberty than we ever
did in New Orleans for here there is no liberty OF
speecb one ust huirah with the crowd give offence
and expose ones self 10 all manner of insult. Here,
one must sing to The praise and glory OF the place n
which he is, or keep silent slave In spite OF all
the boast of liberty made here, is very one sided eX
isng in theory and in all parts we see exhibited, all the
| intolerance OF the Purans, who fled from persecution
in Europe, 10 persecute in America.
"Tne Cubans ale polite people, and in their man.
ners are refined than the Americans, whose awk-
wardness aud Erossnes shock hem and for those per-
sons who go about drinking places and roar out abuse,
they are considered perfect barbarians, something
below the Congo race. Ii happens too, often, that
Americans tell foreigners that they are slaves, or say
something offensive in regard to their country without
appearing consider that they insulting those ndi
yiduaIs but the Americans so sensitive themselves
that auson In favorable tone, 10 anything in
| another country, sounds in The OF the American
as against a sinar object in his country; there
FORE people Of dispositions and tastes different, could
never agree, and the poor CubanS, being the weakest
| would go 10 the wall"
After pitching into US in this style (says the N
o. Bee, from which we gather the above extracts
La Union tries moral sua sion, and labors hard to
convince its readers that the acquisition of Cuba
aoouM ruin The South.
The Bee of the 18th inst, administers sound
rebuke to its Spanish contemporary for INDUCING
habitually in abuse, detraction and vehement de-
nuncation of the People and Institutions of the
United States, taking occasion to assure that jour-
nal that in its entire immunity from the strong arm
of the law, and from the passions of an excited
| populace, it affords most striking illustration of
the boundless freedom which this country enjoys
and comedies to others
