possibly do it. The horrid and inhuman senti-

DAYS of Attila or Jhengis Khan No invention of
any Vandal ever equalled in atrocity the avowed
design of these political pirates. Let the democ-
racy of this region who have contributed to the
election of Frank Pierce as President and Daniel
Wells, Jr., as a member of Congress from this
district, candidy ask themselves if they indulge
these sentiments thus frankly expressed by their
own partizans. Whether they indulge them or
not, they are the germ of the principle which will
be adopted in the administration of Frank Pierce,
and no sensible man doubts but that these senti-
ments will guide the administration which was
elected SO triumphantly TO power the diaboli-

THE ISLAND OF CUBA-DETERMINA
TION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
'It cannot be doubted that a large majority of
the people of the United States, have determined
that the American flag shall wave over the Island
| OF Cuba The feeling which mon ,trates this
fact, Is not Limited TO any section of the United
States. 1t predomnates in the North as well as in
the South; and the day is not distant, when the
trained bands of some bold and daring adventu-
rer VIII triumphantly march from one end of the
Island to the other carrying with them the ban
ners of conquest If the Government of Spain be
wise, and is disposed TO save that which if il con-
tnuc the policy it has of late, will be irrevocabv
lost, it will, with as little delay practicable
open negotiations for the purchase of Cuba by the
Government of the United States.
Let Spain reject all overtures for the cesson of
| Cuba another year six months, and she will
find that what she has hoped to retain has depart

! There are now registered in this city alone,
some ten fifteen thousand men, who are anx-
| ious and eager to make a descent on Cuba and
| in almost every considerable city and town in the
Union, bands of larger or smaller size, are regu-
! larly organized. These men only wait favorable
opportunity, and the appearance of leader to
march onward. Nor are they destitute of the
means necessary to the contamination of of their
enterprise. From good authority we learn that
there are now, in the city of New Orleans, NUM-
! tons OF war sufficient to equip an army of ten
! thousand men, at a moment warning. Indepcn-
IDENTIFY OF that, large fund is deposited in that
! city, to be employed in a against Cuba. A
celebrated house i'll that city holds fund amount
! ing to upward of million of dollars and in New
| York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, the
slnewS OF war are abundantly braced. The next
attack on Cuba will be found something more

an easy victory.
at was stated, Il fortnight ago that the Admin
| lStratlon had ordered a war steamer to Law in the
! lower bay to detect and arrest suspected cXpcdi-
| tons that were on the eve of embarkaton. We
believe the report was not well tounded but if it
wcrc and any armed vessel connected with our
navy, should attempt to impede the sailing of an
| expedition bound for Cuba, she would find her
self resisted by force which she could not CON
qucr. Mr. Marshal Talmadgc will hereafter find

expedition, that he has got his hands full OF bust

provoke ire, justify MS IN cogiaq vGr
against her Island. Ne Frankly dls,cer, she has
not: and that hare other RIGHT than that
which MIGHT girc>, to SEEK possession Of Cuba. We
rant that lslamd-its possession is to Us matter
of great COnscqucnCe-and, rjght OF Wr0Hg, re
,iU hare it, In saying thus much we do but re-
iivct the popular sentiment of the day. The con-
dition of the Qacen of the Antilles is not what it
ought to be; and, we of the United States wish to
amend it. We want those great and glorious
principles which pirate of, and which we
ought to see extended and implanted i'll every
gion from IIudson's Bay to Cape Horn-cStab-
llShcd IN Cuba. We CannOt-we will not, stop
anywhere short of its Shores and our desires must
be gratiicd.
1T is very probable, that our people would
consent to negotiation, if that could be had on
favorable terms. They would prefer, however,
possession by the right of conquest.
Conquest gives title, which none can gain
say or dispute. 1t requires no nice or elaborate
survey; and, when once perfected puts an end to
all dispute, for all time to come. 1t is, therefore

DyBy the following account of the doings of
the Council of the city of Milwaukee, our readers
will see that something will yet be done for the
commencement of the Lake Shore Railroad. 1t
depends entirely upon the action of our ncighbors
in Illinois, to say when this important, and we
may say indispensable work will be commenced.
1t is no TO talk hcsitatingly about this road
1t must and it will be built. 1t is only question
Of time. In the course of two or three months,
the connection by railroad between New York and
Chicago will be complete. And who supposcs
that the capitalists will long suffer the business of
Wisconsin to remain unconncctcd with the great
thoroughfares of the commercial metropolis of the
Nation. We shall not be much surprised to hear
the engine snort in twelve months from date.

The Common Council at a special meeting on
Monday evening last, adopted the following re-
port. by yeas TO noes.
HEREAS, Lew blossom, IN Dtnal1 OF the
! Green Bay Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad com
panv has presented to the Common Council three
propositions, which have been made to said Com
pany for the construction and equipment of said
road from the city of Milwaukee to the line of the
state of Illinois, Il distance of thirty-ninc miles
one Of said propositions being to equip the road
for the sum of SOP 900, on the following terms,
viz. fourth part i'll cash. one fourth in stock,
/ and one half in bonds of the Company another
TO construct and equip the road for S665,573, one
half in cash and the remaindcriu stock and bonds
of the Company in equal amounts and the third
to construct and equip the road for S652, 900 one
fifth in stock two ithS in cash, and two tfths in
bonds of the Company.
And, whereas, said Company has requested
action of this Board. either by advice or 9TH
erwise in relation to which of said propositions
would best subServc the interests of this city, and
ought TO he accepted.
Therefore, resolved, that although this Board
have now no legal authority TO direct advise the
action of said Company, in any matters which may
come before them, and cannot have until some
action is had by the Legislature ofthis state, gran
ting the right 10 take stock loan the credit of
the city aid in the construction of said road,
we feel that the people of Milwaukee have deep
interest in having the work speedily commenced
and vigorously prosecuted to completion, and will
