A PROCLAMATION

A PROCLAMATION.
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 be-
lieved that thisexpedtion is instigated and set on
foot chiefly by foreigners. who dare to make our
shores the scene Of their guilty and hostile pre-
paratons against a friendly power, and seek,
by falsehood and Misrepresentation, to seduce
our own citizens, especially the Young and in
consideraie, into their wicked schemes-an
nngrateful return for the benefits conferred upon
them by this people in permitting them to
make our country an asylum from oppression,
and in fragrant abuse Of the hospitality thus
extended TO them:
And whereas such expeditions can only be
regarded as adventures for plumber and rob
berry, and must meet the condemnation of the
civilized world, whilst they are derogatory to
the character Of our country, in violation of the
laws of nations, and expressly prohibited by
our own. Our statutes declare 'that, if any
person shall, within the territory or jurisdic-
ton of the United, States, begin or set on
foot, or provide or prepare the means for any
military expedition or enterprise, to be car
rled on from thence against the territory or
dominions of any foreign Prince or State, or
: of any colony, district, or people, with whom
the United States are at peace, every person
SO offending shall be deemed guilty of high
misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceed
ing 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 heavy penalties de-
nounced against such offences, and will forfeit
their claim to the protection Of this Govern
ment, or any interference on their behalf,
no matter to what extremities they may be
reduced in consequence of their illegal con-
DUCT ana, therefore, eXnort all good clu-
zens, 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 discounte-
nance, and by all lawful means prevent, any
such enterprise; and call upon every officer
of this Government, civil or 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 fifth
day Of April, in the year Of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and fifty-one, and the
seventy fifth of the independence Of the United
States.

The plan contemplates, we believe, the arrival of
the northern mail in Charleston at 4 O'Clock, A. m.
and the running of two trains day by the South
Carolina Railroad Company between Charieston
and Hamburg. The first train will leave Charles
ton at q. m and the second, or express train at
say IL a. M; the first train will leave Augusta at
q. H. and the second, or express train. at 10 a.
m. The express train ID TO take up the mails when
they arrive too late for the early Trains and reach
Charleston or Augusta, az the may b. in time
to save the connection.
From Augusta, We understand. the Georgia rail
road Will run two trains to Atlanta--one night
train, with the mail; the other an accommodation
train. leaving Augusta and Atlanta at S, q. m.

tween faimetto cine present terminus Of the At

the connecting point with the Montgomery rail-
road, will also run extra line of stages in CON-
nexion with the Georgia and Carolina railroads.
Inc arrangements beyond West Point we are not
appraised OF, but we doubt not, from what we know
Of the energetic and public-spirited gentleman At
the head OF tho company, that the MONTGOMERY
railroad will be ready to cooperate efficiently with
the interests and convenience of the public ON the

by these arrangements the train for Columbia

Charlotte railroad, at to 8 O'Clock. .. M Stages
leaving these points, say at 8 Or o'clock, p. M,
day, Yorkville at 10 IL, q. M. and Charlotte, N

GENTLEMEN: It gives me deep concern to have
received only this evening, at Richmond, your let
ter dated 7th April, inviting to the celebration
of Mr.. Clay's birthday, at New York, on the 18th.
You will perceive that am thus not only pre-
vented from accepting your kind invitation, but that
l cannot even inform you of my inability to do SO
until the day has passed for which that invitation
was given.
As foreigner in this country stand necessari-
y aloof from its party distinction and the prefer
which political men may feel for their several
eminent leaders. But, az an Englshman and a
man, may be permitted to testify to the respect
and admiration which great abilities and noble
qualities ought invariably to inspire. It is thus
that Mr. Clay'sreputaton belongs to all the world,
and as citizen Of it should have felt great plea
sure in being one of the distinguished company
with whom you did me the honor to associate me,
had il not been for the circumstances to which, at
the commence ment of this letter, 1 alluded.

WASHINGTON, ID. u, April 18th, 1851.
GENTLEMRN: pressure Of official duties has
prevented me from making an earlier acknow
ledgment of the polite invitation contained in your
letter OF the 22d ult, to join with the Clay Fcst
val Association in the annual celebration of the an
niversary of Henry CIay's birthday, the 18th of
April in the city of New York.
Concurring with you, that language is made
quae to express the universal gratitude to this dis
tinguished statesman for long line of public
vices; and uniting with you in thankfulness to
that beneficent Providence which has continued to
him physical health, and unimpaired vigor of
mind, nothing could afford me greater pleasure
than to join with you in this festive tribute to his
worth. 1t is with much regret, therefore, that,
yielding to circumstances connected with the
public business, am compelled to decline your
kind invitation.

people Of John and Wadmalaw islands, on

confess, matter of surprise that any sane man
could have given utterance to such sentiments.
If we had not abundant evidence that language
precisely similar had been held in other times,
in the press and the pulpit of other sections Of
the country, we should be inclined to believe
that Gov. SEABRooK had been unsupported. But
we know that complaints and denunciations
equally unfounded, and equally violent, have been
uttered at remote period, and are now uttered,
by individuals in Massachusetts,; and we are not
aware that the fanaticism of the Bay State, at
the period to which we refer, or at the present
moment, is to be distinguished in character or
degree from that of South Carolina. We know
the fate that befel the secessionists and dis
unionists of Massachusetts who figured in the
early part of the century; and we believe that

Palmettos, who served through the Mexican oam-
paign, that a meeting Of the remnant of this gal
liant band will be feld at Columbia, South Carolina
on the goth of August next, the anniversary of the
battle Of Churubusco. As this is an occasion that
will tend to revive recollections which are asso-

of those gallant spirits. Butler and Dickinson.

is prepared to repel aggression. The Govern

preserve our neutrality, and to punish its vio-
lation. We apprehend that, between the two
Governments, pirates and plunderers will stand

"lf the law" he added, concerning the
warehousing system be repealed in order to
operate with apparent safety against South
Carolina, or, more properly speaking, to wage
war against her, then that war will have to
be waged by the southern as well as the
northern States, each section contributing its

BY what process Of reasoning Governor SEA
BROOK convinced himself of the truth of these
propositions, we cannot imagine. Such Sc
ries Of confused assumptions and nconsequen-
tial results we never saw before in print. But
whatever may be his power of reasoning, or his
legal attainments, no one will deny that the
Governor has keen eye for analogies. He
saw wonderful resemblance between the pro-
| spective blockade Of Charleston and the Brit
sh blockade of Boston and called the especial
attention of his readers to the "inspfitng fact''
that IN four months after the reception of the
news that Boston was to be blockaded, a Cont
mental Congress was in session at Phila-
delphia. 1t is surprising to see how the
notions of antagonist dsunionists will run
in the same channel. Mr.. CHASE and
Mr.. SUMNER saw the same inspiriting' re.
semblance that strikes Governor SEABRooK SC
forcby between the proclamation Of General
GAGE and the proclamation of Mr.. FILLMORE

suits from the latter that flowed from thu
former. When Mr.. CHASE uttered this senti
