bued with the republican teachings
and enthusiasm of the mssiionsros de.
Ldertad. Their impetuous desire
for action was continually hurrying
this class of republican theorists into
partial conspiracies and local insu:.
rections which, from want of general
concert and we'll understood combin.
alton, only ended in the ruin of the
unfortunate leaders. The time seem.
ed to call for more thorough plans
than could be effected in Cuba, and
the old missionaries took the field on
new system Of action. It was de-
cided to establish in New York, the
commercial metropolis of the land of
unlimited freedom, ON organ for gath
ering, ripening, and disseminating
the principles and plan of a revolu.
ton. This organ, whose voice has
penetrated every recess and stirred
every family in Cuba with new hopes
and anxietics, was called La Verdad,
and began it's course in January,
1846. From that time the project,
of wrestling Cuba from the power of
Spain has advanced steadily to its
completion. There is one feature in
this system Of organization peculiar
to itself, and which could only spring
from the experienced brain Of such
long-tried ccnspirators as those Mis-
ioaeros dc Libertad. Circles and
societies are formed among the 'sre-
publicans'' of the lslaud, which in,
stead of communicating with each
other to any dangerous extent, es-
tablish relations directly with the
Cuban Council, securely and aperma-
| nentIy located at the free and safe
city OF New York, and whatever
these local organizations require,
from a number of La Verdad to a
! printing-prcss or ,seasteamei, can be
ordered through its representative in
The Council. 1t fellows that no trait

measures are locked np in the coun-
ellis Of chosen men, who, by placing
themselves on this soil, are situated
to consult, plan, publish, and organ
ize with unbounded freedom and adj
vantage. Whatever it is essential to
communicate is printed in La Yer
dad, and falls in some mysterious
nocturnal shower all over Cuba. It.
is sent to the conspirators and to
their enemns, the Spanish party,
with eyen.handed impartiality. Tile
officials know this, for they too are
visited in q frequent and unaccoun,a-
Bile manner by this pertinacious and
unwelcome Truth, and it perplexcs
them somewhat in their system Of ar
resting all who may receive or have
in possession the reasonable sheet,
for it may sometimes happen that
they are themselves the principal and
only known recipients. To make
this confusion the more inextricable,
the sectional organizations in Cuba
are beginning to print and circulate
revolutionary sheets ON the Island,
although in tho midst Of arrests and
espials, which, falling almost invaria.
bly, on innocent and highly respecta.
bic families, ends in inaaming them
with rebollious sentiments, and crca.
ting new circles of organization
Each, as it forms, know, through La
Terdad, where to find its chief, and
can send without fear or delay its
contributions and representative to
the Cuban Council. This Council,
or Junta, to use the Cuban word, is
composed Of representatives from the
various districts of the island, and
its members are men of the highest
reputation. 1t has therefore a ma.
tional dignity and weight in the eyes
Of the Cubans, and Of course gives
proportional uneasiness to the gov.
ernment Of Spain, which can no more
comprehend how the laws of the
United States can protect such an
organization within lis limits, than
Austria could comprehend the recep-
ton of Kossu,h
