THE INVASION OF CUBA.

writer in the New York Tribune gives US
to understand that "quite large number
mostly of young men of reckless stamp, ready
for any thing, from 'storming h down &c
srobbing a, hen-roost are enlisted in this enter
'prise;" but, he adds, g they are encouraged
sby older men, who enjoy high social positions,
and who are looked up to for better things"
The Tribune is very severe in its denunciatons
Of this contemplated measure, and sees Ia i's
contamination nothing but the extension o. inc
area Of slavery We have our apprehensiohs
also, but from different views. we rear, III the
first place. that, however earnestly the Executive
of orr Nation may desire to prevent the equip
ment of an army on our shores, the success of
such an undertaking may affect the neutral po-
sition of our Government. In the second place,
we fear for the fate of all who shall embark upon
the enterprise, for they will have no refuge in
the event Of its final failure.
These are all the fears and all the scruples
we have on the subject.
We are clear in our convictions that the con-
dition of both races would be improved by the
independence of Cuba. The white man would
at once emerge into the light of liberty, of po-
ton; and the condition of the slave, in his
state of slavery, would be as promptly modi-
fed, and his preparation for the great work of
the age-the colonization and civilization of
Africa-would be UNNECESSARILY facilitated.
If the tendency of this scheme, it's feasible
ity the question of right and wrong as con-
nected with it, and the results Of success and
of failure, were calmly and fairly presented to
the minds of our people, and argued, much
good would proceed from it. But as it is, there
is nothing but covert scheming and action, look
ing very much like guilt on the one side, while
the denunciations of the other are made as
though the servile fear of offending the ruling
powers prevents the faithful examination and
analysis that other questions receive. The for
mer is undoubtedly wrong; but--we hope we
may be pardoned for saying 1.-THE latter is
assuredly insincere. The American who as
serts that he does not wish to see Cuba in the
enjoyment of republican freedom is either de-
ceptive in his declaration, or no true republican
himself The means of rendering her SO are all
that are to be looked at This is revolution;
and if it can be made successful, the Ameri-
can who can aid in it without compromising his
own Government will thus render good service
to his species But its Importance admonishes
us to repeat that, in the event of failure, every
man concerned will have good need to regret
most heartily that he had not, instead, under
taken to storm the Internal citadel named by
the writer we have quoted.

PROFESSOR PAGE's electromagnetic car has
been tried again to-day Under the circum-

of everybody. An accident, which, in the
course of two years experimenting had not oc-
CURED, happened shortly before starting, and
caused some misgivings as to the success. Two
of the cells in the battery exploded, in such
situation that if repairs had been made it
would have been necessary to postpone. How
ever, with this diminution Of power, the doctor
determined to go ahead, and started the car.
