In combination of what the /" Delta" above asserts,
that ''it was fully understood that no movement
had been made in the Vuelta Absjo," we have only
TO say that such was not its language previous to
and about the time of the sailing of the Lopez ex-
petition nor, so far as we recolect, has it since
put forth such allegation opinion until in the
article above cited. Lopez and his followers, is
well known, sailed from New Orleans early in the
morning of Sunday, the Sd August. II was only
few days prior to that time-say on the 24th of
dressed the following words OF encouragement to
the expeditionists
"Tbe seventeenth Of this month 6Ied for the rising

/ This and other statements of similar kind were
widely circulated, as well in editorial paragraphs
as in letters purportng to come from Cuba. Of
extracts from one which happens to be at hand:

| And, again, as late as the 2ls. August, the day
on which the intelligence of the fate of Col Crit
tenden's party reached New Orleans, the Delta
took another opportunity to assure its readers that
the people of Vuelta Abajo were "ripe for revolu-
ton." The following is its paragraph of that date,
written before the disastrous news was received
"When published the news of the arrival Of the Pam
pero yesterday, well acquainted as we are
with General Lopezs plan Of operation Bahia Honda
the place at which he had determined effect landing
Tor reasons which we do not think Bahia
Honda is about fifty miles from Havana, and is deep fine

island, WHERE, WE ARE ASSURED, HAVE LONG

near afford admirable points for defence against an over
whemDg force, and command roads by which the General
easily march towards the Eastern districts II is expected
too that another party to aid the patriots will be landed in the
Eastern department Of the island and thus the force Of the
Spanish authorities will be divided and separated and il the
Ceoes true to the cause they may cut off in detail
| All depends on them"
Now, in view of these extracts from its own
columns, whereby number OF men were enticed
into an enterprise that cost them their lives, is it
not lamentable to witness the GOODNESS with which
the Delta discredits its own authority, in order
to effect another object, by saying that it was
g fully understood 5" at New Orleans that no re-
voutionary movement had been made in the Vueta
Abajo!
