The patriots were daily gaining force in the
hills Of Najaza, and desertions are so frequent
that the commanders fear to take their men
too near the enemy. No attack has been made
upon them, and the news from the East is
most cheering. Official accounts tell US that
Baracoa has pronounced, and a gentleman
showed me letter from Trinidad received
last night which assured him that the prepa-
rations were nearly completed, and that the
cry would be raised ON the 17th yesterday, ]
or at latest the goth. l am assured that pre-
parations are being rapidly made for move
ment in this vicinity, but of course l cannot
find out anything about 1t; things are kept
mighty close.
Now that the ball has begun to roll, it can
not be stopped, but our brothers in the United
States, and all friends of freedom, must give
us a helping hand to make the contest short
one and the result happy. It's to be hoped
that the citizens of the Great Republic viii
not turn deaf ear to the cry of Cuba.

e1'he very society which sent the incendiary,
Smith, to Demerara, and other incendiaries to
the West India Islands, where they melted in
surrections, was the identical society which sent
the incendary, George Thompson, to the Uni
ted States. When this political school of the
East India company sent out its missionaries
ito Demerara and the West India Islands, it as
sumed the name of "missionary society" and
called them missionaries. Under the same
name, from the same society, and the same
house in London, itsent Thompson to the Uni.
ted States. The duplicity and treachery OF the
East India company is detected in the profess
ions of Thompsons himself. As is well known,
and as the files of American papers will prove.
Thomson prnfessed TO nn9aa anaA-e, ~ :. -s q =
missionary ssent out by the pious ladies' OF
Glasgow, to make gentle remonstrances against
slavery" Yet ON the records of that identical
London society, which has been proved is a
polit;calincendiaFy school in the service to the
East India company, is an item of some hun
dred pounds sterling, and opposite said item
the following words are recorded: To GEORGE
/ THOMSON, for his mission to America" Here
is evidence then, that the East India company.
through its political school in London, which
is called an anti islarery society, or missionary
society, as the case may require, is pursuing
similar means and measures, yet in a more
covert manner, against the slave labor Of the
Southern States of America, that it so sue-
cessfuily pursued against the West India col
onies - 4 The
agents of the East India company are so we'll
acquainted with our institutions, as to know
that dissolution of the Union would not free
a single slave; but they have good reason to
believe that after dissolution of the Federal
Government, the irritations of the Northern
and Southern States leading to it, would bring
on wars, in which both parties being SO nearly
| balanced, would weaken each other so much as
| ultimately to fall prey, like the Mogu. Empire,
to British power Al any rate the East India
company would reap the advantages Of any
suspension in the agricultural labor of the
| South, by whatsoever means it may be caused.
4 Could correct knowledge of the basis upon
which the iEcendiary politics of the Est India
company is founded, be diffused among the
people Of the North and South, there would
| be some ground to hope that those irritat;ons
| it has kindled between the States of the same
great republican family would give place to
better feelings"

ET@We have at least one precedent for her
admission. without going through territorial
FORMS The State Of Texas was admitted
without any such formality. 1t was not even,
part of our territory. No.census of its inhab-
itants had ever been taken under authority of
our Government No bounds had even been
liked for it. Citizenship had never been "de-
fined BY American law. TIE State presented
herself, with constitution wholly the work
of her own citizens. framed in their own man
ner and without the least control on the part
of the United States authority, for admission
into the Union. And she was admitted, not
under the treaty making power, but bya joint
vote Of The two houses of Congress, approved
bv the President. Why should not the e.people
Of California be admitted on terms at least as
favorable as. those accorded to TexasFl- Vicks-

pute has given to the East Indies the monopoly
of the Indigo trade. The fall of the associated
labor of the West Indies is rapidly giving TO
India the monopoly of the Sugar trade; and
every one can see, who can see at all that the
fall of the associated labor of the Southern
States would give TO the East India company
the monopoly of the cotton trade.
"The company propose to furnish Great Bril-
tain with supply of 'tton independently of
FOREIGNERS. 1t is question yet to be solved,
if it can do so, unless it can succeed in its de-
signs and projects now on foot. of breaking up
the associated or slave labor of the South. Il
could not succeed in making Indigo profitable
business until the associated labor of Hayti
was broken up. It could not succeed in max
ing sugar a profitable business until it came
out victorious in 1888 from war which it
waged for ten years hercely and unremittingly
against the slave labor of the British West
Indies It showed neither mercy nor quarters
to the West India Planters, and it will not be
less intolerant to the American Planters. There
is TO hope of peace for the South while this
company, thirsting for gold and universal do
minion. with ali the wealth of India at its feet,
and all the power of the British Empire at its
back, is permitted to pursue its Vaccinations,
unseen, u7lnoticed, and unmolested. The history
of its long continued and indefatigable exer-
tions, and the heavy sacrifices it made to mo-
nopolize the indigo and sugar trade, proclaims
to the Southern States in capital letters what
they may expect from the company, when 1t is
now aiming at the infinitely higher and richer
prize,-the monopoly of cotton.

Suffice it to say that the East India comps
nv, and those interested in East India property,
af;er severe and long continued struggle car
ried their point, and broke up the system of
associated labor in the East Indies. No sooner
had they accomplished this object in 1888, than
they turned their whole machinery with which
they had effected it, against the United States
with a view of breaking up the system of ASSOC
ciated labor in the Southern States.

this covert and most unfair attempt is made to
endorse his course, the citizens have felt that il
demanded a counter report and one has ac-
cordlngy been gotten up, setting forth the facts,
which is now being circulated, and will leave
by the same mail IL sufficient time had been
allowed it would probably have had some four
or five hundred signatures; as it is, it will be
numerously signed. Some Of the Mexican
grand jurors say that they signed the endorse
ment OF Judge Baker, supposng land being
told that they were only endorsing his conduct
ichile on the bench. They will sign the counter
report.
From the number of officials that have left
their work here and gone to Washington. it is
pretty manifest that they are going to make a
strong effort to bolster up their lettering cause
| suppose they are calculating largely upon the
Southern and doughface influence to carry
them through.
There will be u contest for the seat of Dele
gate between Major Weightman and Captain
Reynolds. | have but little doubt that Reyn-
Odds is justly entitled to the seat if it is
awarded to either | do not believe that all the
records of election fraud, from the beginning of
our Government history, could furnish greater
than have been perpetrated in this election.
Theabe thing that could be done for New
Mexico would be to send both of them back
again, without awarding these to either. 1t
would teach politicians here as well as the
people, a lesson that they will learn in no other
way, and, in my opinion would put stop to
these dsgraceful frauds in the future. Il is
but an act of justice, however, to Captain Reyn-
olds and his friends to say, that, although the
other party charge them with equal corruption
with themselves, they have not furnished the
proof of such frauds here. What they may
do at Washington, ! shall not pretend to say.
As Major Weightman y the Governors pet,
and the Governor is the pet of the South the
Major no doubt, calculates upon being carried
through by Southern votes and influences as
his worthy patron has been.
The allusion, in the Gazette Extra, to the in
dignity offered to Judge Watts, is worthy of a
wider circulation. He is not the only man here
who has been made to feel the smart of the
same sting.

hole TO admit the light In this loathsome den
the only furniture is board with two elects on
the ends which serves as a bed at night, and in

General He answered no. but suggested that
the Judge would give her liberty to see her son.
This proceeding of Mr. Owen seems, says our
correspondent strange, when it is we'll known
that he could have taken her in moment to
the Captain General, to whom she merely wish
cd to state her desire to speak a word of COM

provisions supplied him, &c

Isabel that Mr.. Thrasher had been tired and
condemned 10 the mines but although it was be-
iievea that such was the case, no authoritative
confirmation Of the rumors had been obtained,

secret as possible
