In Tie foregoing bc: review and examination Of Cuban
affairs the following points would appear 10 be clearly &C.
Iublislct:
THAT Cuba suffers unparalleled expressions.
2.-luat she has undenabe right TO revolt.
3-inut her people have done towards etl=csng It much
Of whit they could possibly DO.
4.-ihGt movements originated in Cuba
5.-i.a! il The fault OF Spanish despotism that the
nucleus OF revolution was elected from The Island and
compelled 10 prosper IN the United States.
Gihar the first and largest expedition raised entire
~ win Cuban money.
Tim, il received the oil very high officials
5.Iat Cuba had righ: TO Aid from the people Of The
United States
9ar such aid has been sought 81 the representatives
:" respectable political pnTy.
l0Tnat i. granted BY Americans Of the highest
honor and principles.
ll.Ihat movements are proven, on Spanish official
authority known the government 10 have been purely
political.
l2Iha the assertions contained in Mr.. FIllmores pro-
rau,ann are, Tor his reason, than ara'ulious
Is That the judicial tribunals Of the lend have, IN every
inS lance given ,neir verdict IL this ell
lA-hai the pursued for the raising OF means
those adopted by all other people under The
s:i,n circumstances.
Is That movements similar 10 have received tie
sanction % history
l6-Iaat il merely the result Of circumstances that
G. n. LuleZ was not supported by the Cubans.
l7-lha the Cuban revolution has been by our efforts,
fciauied pUn rlilvc soil, where now progresses
l5 That consequently we have claim 10 the support OF
public opinion the aid OF the american people, and
the moral Ui iiclr government in any future
struggle VIII, the tyranny Of spain
How this AID is 10 be granted by either, il would be pre-
sunptu"uS dictate. The people have the strict
CONSTRUCTION the for their chart Their govern
Tor guide the pulley Of President Monroe, the
interests oi America, and its duties to humu:ty IN
whose behalf IL has become the potent and visible
agent OF The Almighty In the hands, then, Of free and
generous people ANA 10 the wisdom nj prospective oc al
American administrator the instrument Of ,1et ana
rruuuyc Providence, should BE- willing commend
the cause Of ones own d,a: hand.
