United States though deeply TO be lamented and
sternly TO be CONDEMNED as violation of municipal

Tie idea tia: convention like that proposed.

Of these lawes expeditions, seems to rest upon an
entire msconeepton of the present state OF the law
III the United States and Of cur treaty relations with
Spain Our treaties with that Government. and the
ws OF the United States forbid all such enterprises
The tripartite convention would have added nothing
TO their unlawfulness. If we had been desirous OF
multiplying objections, we might well have COM
planned that the acts OF very small number of rash
Young men, citizens and foreigners, should be put
forward by two Of the leading Powers of Europe,
as the main reason why we should be suspected TO
enter into strange compact with those Powers,
binding ourselves never to make q lawful and hon
cradle acquisition OF Cuba.
Consider, toe the recent anteeeden of the pow
ers that invite us to disable ourselves to the end of
time from the acquisition In any way of this natu
raj appendage to our continent. France within the
present century, to say nothing of the acquisition
of Louisiana, has wrested rnoiety of Europe from
il native sovereigns has possessed herself by force
of arms and at the time greatly to the discomfort
of England, of six hundred miles of the northern
coast Of Africa, with indefinite extension into the
interior and has appropriated to herself one OF the
most important insular groups Of the Pacific. Eng
land not to mention her other numerous recent
acquisitions in every part of the globe, has, even
since your despatch OF the 10th of February was
written, annexed half OF the Barman empire TO her
oyergrown Indian possessions, on grounds. if the
statements in Mr.. Cobden's pamphlet are TO be re-
lied upon. compared with which the reasons as
signed by Russia for invading Turkey are respecta-
bic.
The United States do not require to be advised
of he utility of those rules for the observance of
international resolutions which for centuries have
been known TO Europe by the name Of the law Of
nations" They are known and obeyed By IN
der the same venerable name.
After speaking of the utter disregard of all
international law, by both England and
France, under the British orders in council
from 1900 up to 1912, in which the citizens of
the United States, neutral power, were
stripped of more than 500, 600 worth of
property for which no indemnifcation has
ever been received. Mr.. Everett. continues:
You viii not, hope, nisapprehend the spirit in
which this letter is written As an American citi-
zen do not covet the acquisition Of Cuba, either
peaceabiy or by force Ct arms. When cast my
thoughts back upon our brief history as a nation /
certainly not led to think that the United States
have reached the final limits of their growth or
what comes to very much tbesame thing, that rep.
byjury, the freedom of the press and the other
great attributes of our Angio-Norman civilization
are never to gain farther extension on this CONT
nent Iregard the inquiry under what political
organization this extension is TO take place as
vain attempt to penetrate the inscrutable mysteries
OF thefuture II will, if we are wise, be under the
guidance ofour example, hope it viii be in virtue
OF Ae peaceful arts by which wegoyerned States
extend themselves over unsettled or partially set
tied continents. My voice was heard at the first
opportunity in the Senate of the United States in
favor OF developing the almost boundess resources
ofthe territory already in our possession rather
IMAM seeking to enlarge it by aggressive wars.
SIM cannot think it reasonable, hardly respectful
on the part OF England and France, while they are
daliy extending themselves on every shore and IN
every sea, and pushing their dominions, by new
conquests TO the utternost ends ofthe earth TO call
upon the United States to bind themselves by a
perpetual compact never under any circumstances,

SARATOGA AND SAcKErTs HARBoR--A company
for the purpose of constructing railroad between
these two points, has been organized. The road is
under contract at 100000, and it is intended to
complete the eastern half of the line by December
1854. The company have donation of 10000
acres OF land from the State, and as much more
from individuals interested in the country through
which the road passes. The route win be through
wilderness great part of the way, in par.
through os near the rocky and thick region, of
which Gerritt Smith gave 10000 acres to the ne
groes, few years ago. There is abundance or
timber, iron ore and other minerals, however, and
we hope the company may succeed.
