A PROCLAIM ALTON.


Whereas, there is reason to believe that
a military expedition is about TO be fitted
out in the United States with intention to
invade the Island Of Cuba, colony Of
Spain. with which this country is at peace;
and whereas it is believed that this expe-
dition is instigated and set on foot chiefly
by foreigners, who dare to make our shores
the scene OF their guilty and hostile prepa-
ratons against friendly power. and seek,
by talsehood and misrepresentatio 10 Sc
duce our own citizens, especially the young
and inconsiderate, into their wicked
scheme-an ungratelul return for the ben
fits conferred upon them by this people in
permitting them to make our country an
asylum from opposition, and in fragrant
abuse of the hospitality thus extended 10
them:
And whereas such expeditions can only
be regarded as adventures for plunder and
roh,. ory. and must meet the condemnation
Of the ci,ilized world, whilst they are de-
ropatorv to TN, character OF our country,
in violation Of the laws Of nations, and ex-
pressly prohibited by ou." own Our stat
utes declare "that. if any ferscn snail

United States, begin or set on foot or pro-
vide or prepare the means for any military
expedition or enterprise, to be carried on
from thence against the territory or do.
minions of any foreign Prince or State, or
of any colony, district or people, with
whom the United States are at peace, eve
ry person so offending shall be deemed
guilty OF high misdemeanor, and shall be
fined not exceeding three thousand dollars,
and imprisoned not more than three
years "
Now, therefore, | have issued This, my
proclamation, warning all persons who
shall connect themselves with any such
enterprise or expedition, in violation Of our
laws and national obligations, that they
will thereby subject themselves to the hea-
Wy pealties denounced against such offence
and will forfeit their claims to the protec-
ton ofthis government, or any interference
on their behalf, no matter to what extremi.
ties they may be reduced in consequence
of their illegal conduct. And, therefore,
exhort all good citizens, as they regard
our national reputation, as they respect
their own laws and the laws of nations, as
they value the blessings of peace and the
welfare Of their country, to discountenance
and bv all lawful means prevent, any such
enterprise; and call upon every officer
Of this government, civil and military, to
use all efforts in his power to arrest for
trial and punishment every such offender
against the laws of the country.
Given under my hand the twenty-fRh
day of April, in the year of our Lord one

the seventy fifth of the Independence ofthe
United States.

From the Ashland Union
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

This instrument. although not such a
one as the radical democracy of the State
had a right to expect, is, after all, such all
infinite improvement upon the old one, that
it will receive, from all indications, their
unanimous and hearty support. The ca
sy process of amendment, compared with
the difficulties which attended such an
effort in the present Constitution, is lea-
ture which is very generally approved.
And the provision which most warmly
commends the new instrument to all en-.
lightened friends of the true interests of the
State, is the interdict against future laws
to mortgage the faith and property oI
counties and towns TO Railroad Compan.
les. This provision will check terrible
and growing evil, which, without the adop-
ton of the New Constitution. is destined
TO involve at least one-half the State in ruin
bankruptcy and reputation.
And the article iorbidding the State to
assume the debts OF counties, cities, towns
&c, which have involved themselves in
bankruptcy on account Of public improve.
ment speculations, is most wise and
judcious provision Before ten years
would elapsc, under our present constlu
ton, the counties and cities Of the State
would be clanoring al the doors Of oul
Legislature to have their debts saddled
upon the people Of the whole State. the
same as the bankrupt States in 1835-'6-'7
and g, attempted to have their indebted
ness assumed by General Government.
There are numerous other equally wise
and wholesome amendments, to which
we have not now time TO call the particu
lar attention of our Democratic readers
But it has no doubt been read and reat
again by nearly all, and by all who have
studied its provisions it mas been approx
ed.
We have only found two Democrats il
the county, after considerable inquiry
who express any misgivings in regard tc
yielding to the New Constitution hearty
support; and they would not say the,
would vote "No," because at that tim
they had not given it careful reading.
