short time since doubted the truth Of the that the
Administration contemplated the purchase of Cuba,
whereupon the Buffalo Express Abolition Journal
marks:
The Network Express is from its relations to the Ad-
minstration sort of organ, and its para
graphs for that reason have significance which would
not ntrinsicaly belong to them This insufficient denial
Is strong presumpve evidence aganstthe idea seeks
to inculcate II proposition has been made nothing
would be easy than to say in ten plain Words
The attempt to mask the action Of the Government
this deeply interesting subject under the example of Mr.
Adams and Mr. Clay exposes the inncerty of the whole
paragraph by misrepresentpg their policy "That Cuba
should not be annexed to any European power not
the policy Of Messrs Adams and Clay is well known to
the Express The assumption that it is necessary to
justify by their example the effort to take her from her
| European annexaton and make her a member Of this
| Union.
The first proposition to buy Cuba and her to the
United States far know made by Mr. Polk,
and instead OF being policy of Mr.. Adams and Mr. Clay
any other wing statesman it is democratic prolayery
policy of the strctest stripe 1t is sample Of the
policy which annexed Texas, and brought with it the
| Mexican This matter, which is cloud larger
than mans hand may grow to be of great and con-
| trolling national CONCERN
This brings out the Express again. in the following brief
but significant remarks:
We have authority to speak for the Administration
and know nothings of its intents but what will say
is if Abotionism makes party question of purchasing
Cuba, the purchase will be made popular Abolition
thing for Cuba What it supports. it ks-and what it
decrieS, becomes DOpular.
