Little & Brown, Of Boston, TO whose enterprise
the reading public has 80 often been indebted for

propose to publish, by subscription, series of

The profession assured that this series will be
the most complete Of any reports now published.
careful examination of the JWist and Latc Jour
nal for series Of years discloses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which are not
found in the contemporaneous reports Of Meeson &

TIE CUBAN AFFAIR.

There undoubtedly exists good deal of
feeling at the South upon tbe subject Of Gu
ban Independence, as Il ia called II Is no
new feeling, for 20 long ago ~ the Conyen-
ton was holden that nominated Mr. Cass for
the Presidency, tho matter was introduced
by one Of the southern members. The stir
ring up OF an insarrecton in Cuba, with the
Interior purpose Of annexation 20 tho United
States, belongs 10 the programme Of progress
which southern people long since laid out, as
connected with their future glory & strength.
Texas frst, Cuba next, and. ultimately, all
Of Mexico, was the order OF is reading, The
hrst is secure, aud they think il time TO enter
upon the requirement OF tho second. They
arc taking precisely the same steps that pre-
ce6ded the HrTuisitiot, &c ireKaa Adxentur-
ers from the South iomcntcd what was called
a rebellion in Texas They are doing the
same in Cuba; and, Judging from the past
their success ia the Texas affair they arc
now destined 10 be equally successful. II
war with Spain should become incidental, no
matter, they will be for war, or any expense
the success of the scheme may demand. They
want, and are determined 10 have, further
extension of the area Of slavery.
The question is Likely TO enter into tho
politics Of the country as deeply as did the
Texas annexation question. Already has
President Fillmore incurred the dspeAsurc
of many southern politicians h.-hi@- prosrip,
action in heading the invaders. This feeling
which will, probably taka. still deeper root,
will demand that the candidate for the pres
idency, even 80 carly as the next election,
who may hope for the votes OF several south
crn States, be pledged to the annexation Of
Cuba. They viii find enough ready TO offer
such pledge; and it's not difficult to tell
from what party they will come. The advo-
Gates Of Texas annexation surely will not hes
itate about Cuba. VIII thcy2 We shall see

Mn. EDIroR You say in your notice Of
the "old line" convention that the "Dcmocra-
Uy Of Mr. MAuocks was especially endorsed
that Gen. Moro came 90 his rcscue--that
there was pledge circulated or shown over
his signature that he would support the next
Democratic candidate for president. whoever
he might be-" Now, Mr. Editor, taking into
view Mr. Mattocks' past course, and bearing
in mind his past declarations, | am led 10
doubt the truth Of the above quotation. Let
us reason a little upon this. Mr. Mattocks
was a Whig an ardent, enthusiastic Wing up
to the time oc Con. Taylors nomination; but
he in common with the Wings of our town
had imbibed strong anti-slavery sentiments
had opposed the annexation Of Texas by pc
htion and done all by their votes and acts
they could do in favor of free soil. As n

stated in that meeting that he was Wing,
just the same as ever,only he could not vote
for Gem Taylor,--that he had no idea of be-
ing any thing but Wing only with this OK
oeption. But such was his adherence of
slavery that he could not give it his influence,
or vote, in any way directly or indirectly
So far as he is known here, upon this point,

No doubt but such was the report at your
place, butts il not too much for one I'd be-
iieve that a man of Mr. Mattocks' CHARACTER,
influence and sagaeity, would do any such
thing2
VIII any body suppose that man who
could not vote for nominee three years
ago because he was STAKEHOLDER, would
