late difficulties about Cuba, and for better

For the first time in many months the Eastern

par boiled fhce-seekers Its success in the
teeth of monied influence, and opposition of
the modest wings, in establishing an expound-
er, and freely bleeding for elements to make it
readable, shows the skill of its conductor in
making it the " Herald" of the County. You
have heard Of the fate of the lamented Lopez,
and of the cowardice of the lazy creoles in not
sustaining him. They are not deserving CT liber-
ty, but are fit subjects for the iron heel of des
potism.
The grave national question under discus
sion, as ruinored in the Cabinet at Washing
ton, as to decoying Lopez and his brave COM
panions TO Bahai Honda by letters from three
Spanish officers, will probably remain under
consideration until the people remind them that
something more is expected than obreptitious
president making. Mr. Willard Fillmore's
sympathy is with the abolitionists having al
ways been anti something, and was called M

MODEST and most disinterested traits of charac.
Ter which give the lie to such stigmas. and
MS failure can only be attributed to the imbe

The Cuban Movement.

The Cuban movement has failed, but it has
only failed il has received severe blow in
the unfortunate, termination of the brave LOPEZ,
which was brought to close by his execution,
but it was not death blo,c; for the hopes OF
freedom can never die with any one man.
The Cuban movement was not entirely d.
vested of speculative character, but this char
acter was only incidental, such as naturally per
tains to all movements of similar nature that
the world has yet witnessed; but it was swal-
lowed up and lost sight of in the nobler aspects
which the movement presented.
The American people sympathised largely
in the movement; they would have been un-
true to themselves-recreant to their princ-
pies, if they had done otherwise. The strug-
giles OF unfortunate Poland, and more recently
of brave, but oppressed Hungary, did not more
thoroughly. arouse the sympathies of the Amer
lean heart, than did the efforts of Lopez and

EASTERN TIMES:
Bath, Thursday, Sept. is, 1851.
"All for the Union!"

AS we intimated short time ago, when the
"Silver Greys and Woody Heads y united
in New York, new mode of tactics was being
resorted to by the wing party in the North which
was TO be strenuously urged upon all sections
as the only means Of political salvation The
plan was simple one, merely to bring about
general and thorough coalescing of all the
homogeneous elements of which the party in the
different sections of the country, was composed.
1t will be remembered how easily this was
done in the State above. alluded TO, and the
doings of the recent wing State Convention In
Massachusetts shows that the same thing has
been accomplished there.
The signs of the times in Massachusetts,,
few weeks ago, indicated that there was to be
s"caving in " of the Webster wings, and that
Winthrop would be brought forward for gov
ernor. The manner in which this has been
brought about is now made to appear, it being
the result of bargain with the Webster wings
that the " god like should be adopted by the
party in the State as their candidate for the
Presidency They have formed coalition,
not, to be sure, with third party, but with
themselves and all others that will unite with
them. With Winthrop at their head. they
irvre dra- oil from the .J7-es sui section of
the party sufficient aid to enable them to pro-
coed, and we should think it quite likely that
this will be The case.
This is all done for the Union, of course, as
heralded by some of the Webster whig press
es; and the result, if successful TO them, will
be placed alongside of the great uiciory in Yer
mont, as another evidence that the tchig COM
promise administration is triumphantly sus-
tained by the people
The address adopted by the convention that
nominated Winthrop is rich document and
worthy more extended notice than we can be-
stow upon il the present No.
