OFFICIAL JOURNAL
THURSDAY MORNING, July 8, 1852.


During the height of the Cuban excitement, and
when great personal peril to Mr. Thrasher was
involved in such statement, the Delta announ-
ced that the Declaration of Cuban Independence,
which it first published, was directly derived
from that gentleman.
At the time the general sentiment of our COM
anunity was, that the statement of the Delta
even if true, was an ungenerous sacrifice of Q
gentleman entirely in the power of asuspicious
and vindictive race-the Spaniards-and if any
! thing, only too enthusiastic in behalf of cause
which the Delta pronounced sacred and glorious
and Of which it claimed to be the special cham.
pion. Its article looked like singular, if moi
spiteful, betrayal Of friends. It was q public
denunciation Of Mr.. Thrasher to the Cuban ar-
thorities as a prime promoter Of Cuban Fillibus-
terism in America. In this style and tone we
spoke of the matter at the time.
The result is known. Mr.. Thrasher was put
under surveillance--seized-im in a
loathsome dungeon-tried in a.spirit Of cruel
and cowardly tyranny-wantonly and 5unjusti-
fably condemned to a long and dreary term Of
punishment. in.a foreign land-his property con-
fscated-his fortunes ruined-and himself re-
leased only upon the earnest interference of our
government. ~
Our contemporary admits the grave injustice
it did Mr.. Thrasher and the severe suffering il
caused him-but pleads that it acted inconsid-
erately and-meant no harm rather a feeble
excuse for SO singular q course, involving such
serious Consequences! The fact is, an unhappy
acrimony Of feeling between the Delta and
another journal Of this city gave birth to the
article. 81
However, our contemporary admits it was
gravely wrong The admission is fully made
1t atones for much: and even shows some thing
of manlness and fairness. 1t does not restore
to a gallant and large-hearted gentleman the
property of which he was so unjustly deprived
and which he lost through the inconsiderate and
head long excitement Of controversy displayed
by our neighbor When the Delta says:
ssWe never supposed that any civilized power would
base judicial prosecution much less conviction, upon
paragraph in newspaper'-
Wecan only say. Heaven forgive us that we ever
believed the Delta when it pronounced Cuba a
land of the drest, and gloomiest and bloodiestty
rannies-a land in which nor lfe nor limb, nor
property was safe, except at the caprieious plea
sure of a cruel, and blood thirsty, and vindic-
tive race-and now, our shrewd neighbor cannot
even conceive how such race sswould base q
judicial prosecution, much less conviction p
upon a publicly denounced attempt to add fuel
to the fame Of rebellion against its powers
8 BY the way, our citizens will give Mr.. Thrasher
. public dinner, at the ST. Louis, on next Mon
day. So kind and chivalrous gentleman, so gal
liant and true-hearted an American, deserves q
thousand such compliments as this. Our ma
tional authorities should yet to it that he is
solidly Unidentified in the premises.
