our free schools could not make as sensible a
speech as this one of Gen Scott's-saving al
ways the barney to adopted citizens, which we
admit beats all natur," we would be sorry in
deed. We copy from the Scott organ, the
Herald, of Cleveland, which, of course. gives
the most flattering report. Here are {" words of
fame !" for you Free Press.
Fellow citizens-When say fellow citizens
| mean native and adopted citizens, as well as
all who intend to become citizens of this great
and glorious country. thank you for theenthu
siastc reception you have given me. Cheers.
But there is one thing regret in visiting your
beautiful city, and that is the rain. was pain
ed that while was comfortably sheltered in a
covered carriage, you should have been exposed
to the rain and mud. During my military cam
paign and at other times in the discharge Of the
duties of my office; and during the greater
part of my life, have been on the march, and
have always been accustomed to expose myself
to the weather and other inconveniencies of
camp life, in common with the brave soldiers of
the army, and | am panied at this time to see
you put to so much Inconvenience on my ac-
count. Great cheering. Fellow citizens
have thought man could hardly call himself
citizen of this country, without passing over
these great lakes, of which this is justly cele-
brated as one of the most beautiful of the
whole West. [" You're welcome here" from
an lrishman. Ihear that rich brogue, love to
hear it; it makes me remember noble deeds of
lrshmen, many of whom have led to battle
and victory Great cheering.]
Fellow citizens-l do not intend to make a
speech, am not journeying for that purpose
am travelling for the purpose of selecting
site for a Military Hospital. simply came at
your call to thank you for this kind greeting
You have seen fit to greet me cordially, so would

az We hope the Lumbermen, Mill owners
and Tiers of the Pineries in this State will re-
member the party that has caused them so much
trouble for the last four years. We hope the
vessel owners will remember who it was that
caused their vessels to be seized, without even
the shadow of cause, and entirely without the
authority of law, as shown most clearly and
concusively by the decision of Judge McLane.
We ask the question, how much money has been
eXtorted from honest, well.disposed men in this
quarter within the last four years, by housing
whig officials We will answer the question
by saying that we believe the gross sum would
amount TO several thousand dollars, that has
been taken by these sneaking mousers, from the
owners of vessels and from secondhand pur-
chasers of Logs, Timber, Lumber, Bark, &c.
Their mode of operation has been to seize un-
der pretended authority from the Solicitor of
the Treasury of the U. S., then to offer the per-
sons thus robbed the choice between compro-
mise or an expensive suit at law in the U. s.
Court, before their property could be restored
to them. Settlements have been made and
much money has thus been extorted from men
that never would buy Logs or any thing of that
sort that came from Government land. Tools
for carrying on this kind of persecution have
been found in this region, but thank God they
are not and never were of the Democratic par
ty! They are the sole property of that party
that harbors and protects meanness and NOUS
ers wherever found, from collectors down to
Light House tenders and tide walters.
We say, then, to all that have been thus per-
secuted. that the only chance of curing the evil
complained of, is by your votes and influence to
overturn what little there is of whiggery, and
put in their places men who are capable of read
ing and understanding the laws of the United
States, and putting upon them the construction
intended by Congress, and the same as con-
strued by the SHpreme Court of the United
States. Men of all parties, will you any long
err submit to have all your business watched by
these long-nosed wings, who never aspire to
any higher position than that of deputy to some
deputy, to act as the agents of Attorneys, Col
lectors, Lumber-Agents, or what not, is the
highest aim of some of the wing officials about
here. They are ever ready to act as spies and
informers under a system of secret surveillance
that has ever been considered despcablc and
mean, wherever carried on. Vote them down,
put them out of place and power, and you will
be no longer in fear ofhaving your property seiz-
ed without cause, and be under the necessity
of paying the liquor bills of wing officials to
avoid suit in the u. S. Court.

CUBA.

The Telegraph accounts from this distressed
and i'll governed country represent the perpe-
tration OF great outrages against American ves-
sells in the port OF Havana. The Gods seem at
work destroying the Island-the mountain Of
injustice is heaped up so high against Cubans-
the work of tyranny is so complete with them
that vent must be found in another direction
the men and property of the United States
must now be assailed We do not doubt the
accuracy of the report-the government of Gu
ba have run riot in oppression and wrong. The
citizens of the United States there have ever
been insulted and their property confiscated,
and our Government has looked on with sloIid
Indifference. We have no faith, now, that our
authorities will do more than to send out ship
of war, whose officers, after dining with the
Governor General, will report that all is
right" In truth, we have no government, so
far as our people abroad are concerned. We
expect that in the archives of the Vice Ron in
Cuba, can be found orders from the Home Gov
eminent not to arrest or disturb French and
English citizens, but to deal harshly with Amer
leans We submit to this--why do we SUBJ
NIT? Have our citizens, invited abroad to do
commercial and other business, no rights! Are
our Treaties binding upon us and void as to
other Governments Have we no power to
compel this miserable bankrupt Government of
Spain to observe the decences Of civilized life,
and to discharge her solemn covenants! She
has the power to cut off our commerce, to for
bid our ships to enter her ports--she is, how
ever, in the absence of positive orders, presum-
ed to invite trade, and she has no right to seize
our ships and to impose upon them unusual
burthens-but above all, she has no rightto pun
sh our citizens, except in accordance with trea-
ty stipulations existing between the two Gov
ernments. Were we permitted to advise as to
the proper course to be pursued, it would be to
hold the Government of Cuba to rigid and re-
lentiess accountability. We go father: if the
Capt. General continues his outrages, we shall
urge upon the American people that they have
a right to regard the Government of Cuba as
practicing bloody and heartless war upon hu-
manity, and that it is their duty, peaceably or
forcbly' to dspossess them of all power to do
further mischief The Government Of Cuba is
a disgrace to the civilized world, and shouldsbe
blotted from the record of civilized States.

eB- Considerable misunderstanding seems
to prevail in certain quarters with reference to
the course we took in publishing the proceed
ings Of the Wing County Convention. Both
our lberaity and veracity are called in question.
1t is charged, that, after having promised to
publish the proceedings of said convention, we
failed to publish certain long string of wing
resolutions, which are claimed by our accusers
to form part thereof Now plain statement
of the facts, we are confident, will satisfy all
that we have not only kept our word in this
matter, but that we have also done all that could
have been reasonably required at our hands,
To begin, we were present ut the convention,
and obtained no knowledge whatever from any
thing we saw, heard, or imagined, that any res
olutions were adopted, or that any steps were
taken for that purpose. In process of time,
tolerably correct report Of the proceedings was
handed us encum bered with the aforesaid reso-
lutions, with request to publish. We pub
lished the report of the proceedings as we had
agreed. This report occupied about two-thirds
of column. The resolutions would have &C.
cupied an additional column. These we did not
publish. We never promised to publish them,
nor would we ever be induced to publish reso-
lutons of like nature. Our paper is ever
open to both sides of fair and courteous dis
cussion of the principles of every political par
ty. We mean to make it medium of general
information, and means Of accommodation to
both wing and democrat. We are now, and ex-
pect hereafter to be under thousand obliga-
tons to our wing patrons, who are both Dumer-
Gus and liberal. But there are certain limits
which we can not overstep. The Times is de-
cdedly democratic paper The principles of
the democratic party have always harmonized
with our convictions of right and expediency.
In our adherence to these principles, we claim
that we act with that full degree of candor and
sincerity, which we are willing to believe actu-
ates the majority of our wing neighbors. En-.
tertainng these sentiments, we aver, that it
was asking too much to require us to herald
abroad such an embodiment of abuse and SLAM
der as was here concocted for ourselves and all
others who are equally sincere and ardent in
what we believe to be the great and good cause
of the people. Wewould as soon open our col
umns to the sanderer whose poisoned shafts
were aimed at our own individual honor, as to
the man whose detractions are heaped upon the
illustrious leaders of that great and popular po-
litical organization the success of which we be-
lieve to be identical with the welfare and glory
of our country.
