FiIibUSter,

We arc often inquired of as to the etymol-
osy and precise sisnitication of the word
flibuster. The Boston Advertiser says the
term should be spelled .fi6ustier. and thinks
it was derived from the Spanish name of a
light boat, vessel formerly in common use
in the West Indies 1t was familiarly used
in the French and other languages. as des-
criptive of class of freebooters of all Eerope-
an nations, who infested the West India Is
lands and the coast of Central America for
purposes of piracy, during the last half Of she
seventeenth century. In English they were
commonly termed Buccaneers. There is a
peculiar fitness in the application of the term
TO the adventurers engaged in the foray on
Cuba-a class of pirates very similar in tastes
and propensities to the ,tgibustiers who under
Morgan, were the terror of the Caribbean Sea
The word has more comprehensive significa
ton on the lower Mississippi There it is
used 10 designate rowdies, loafers, and those
pests of society known as b'hoys When one
wishes to apply particular opprobrious cpl
thet. in that region, he calls the object of his
wrath a '6libustering knave.' F5s 80.
