RemarkS.

No, Mr.. Panama. your doctrine is not
'fanaticism but brigandism When we
were struggling manfully and openly for
our own Independence, we applied to the
Governments of France and Spain for aid,
and received it. We solicited and entered
into solemn treaties Of amlty and alliance
with thoec Governmonts--treaties which
we have voluntarily renewed and main
tanned up to this day. Their stpulatlons
are this moment morally binding upon our
country and al her citizens. And yet you
venture to PROFOUND doctrines which clear
iy and fully involve us in a perpetual war
with Spain--in an obligation to make war
upon her and slaughter her functonaries
and soldiers at all times, in defiance of our
treaties, until she shall see fit to conform to
ear standard This warfare In time of
peace, without declaration or notice, YOU
declare to be Just and holy-a duty to God
and man Can you longer pretend TO
complain that the Spanish authorities of
Cuba treat those who invade that island in
obedience to your doctrines with the utmost
severity? How should they be lenient to
prisoners in whose behalf it is urged that
our Treaty obligations are mere waste
palerl
The legitimate fruits of Panana's doc
trineS are seen in the recent shameful out
RACES at New Orleans. There steamboats,
flied with armed men have sailed in broad
dav. notoriously to invade and conquer the
colony of a Nation with which we are
bound TO amity by solemn treaties; there
the Office of Spanish newspaper has been
DESTROYED by Tiotous mob Of pretended
champions of Liberty' and there the office
Of 4 Consul has been torn down, his life en-
dangered, and the mob even threatened to de-
stIoy the county prison IN which that Consul
had taken refuge unless he were given up to
their murderous fury None but the low
est savageS thus treat the peaceful repre-
sentative of foreign nation. Even If we
were a, open war with Spain, such an at
tack on her Consul would be cowardly and
disgraceiul in the extreme. What, then.
shall we esteem it under existing circum-
stances! And what shall we think OF the
demagogues and doctrines which have inst-
gated such shameful crimes
But more Panama knows perfectly
well that this Cuban foray is not lmpelled
by a genuine love of Liberty. He knows
that It's authors and engineers do not mean,
and never Gsd mean. 10 give liberty to that
portion of the People of Cuba who are inf
nitely more oppressed and abused than any
other Had this been a struggle for the
liberation of the really enslayed and down.
iIodden halt OF the population of Cuba, New
Orleans would have tolerated no riots, per-
mil,ed no outrage In It's behalf Ii is the
expectation OF perpetgGtins the abject bond
age OF this hall, and making il contribute to-
ward the extension and fortifcation of the
power of Slavery IN this country. mat fills
the cities of the South and West with re-
crui,s for the invading bands, and subjects
the Offices of Spanish journals and Spanish
consulS to desecration and destruction. Yes.
Mr.. Panama right well dc you know
that this Cuba foray Is crusade for the
extension and consolidation of Slave Power
