or free negro empire.
Let not our administration therefore, be led
astray by the apparently hostile manifestations
of England through her parliament and her
press against poor Old Spain. upon the issue
of the slave trade. These are but the devices
for driving the Spanish government into hard
bargain, the main result Of which will be to
give to England the permanent balance of
power in Cuba and the Gulf Of Mexico, by the
iremediable exclusion Of the United States
rom the island. Introduce the British West
India emancipation system into Cuba and we
are perpetually excluded. Is Secretary Marcy
daily advised and rightly located upon this sub
iect? We hope he is.
The LAST VAGARY OF THE GREELEY CLIQUE
The Wo..ssN, THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR CHAM
PIoNs.-ihc assemblage Of rampant women
which convened at the Tabernacle yesterday
was az interesting phase in the comic history
Of the nineteenth century. We saw, in broad

of every day life, to the neglect of those dnties
which both human and divine law have assign
ed to them. We will not stop to argue against
! SO ridiculous q set of ideas. We will only in
quire who are to perform those duties which
we and our fathers before us have imagined be-
longed solely to women. Is the world to be
depopulated? Are there to be no more chill
dren? Or are we to adopt the French mode
which is too well known to need explanation.
Another reason why we will not answer the
logic which is poured out from the lips of such
persons as Lucy Stone, Mrs. Mott Mrs Amelia
Bloomer and their male coadjutors. Greeley,
Garrison, Oliver johnson. Orson Burleigh, and
others, is because they themselves do not be-
lieve in the truth or the feasibility Of the doc
trines they utter. In some cases eccentricity
is harmless disease. but the idicsyncrasies of
these people spring from another source They
admit the principle that fame and irfamy are
synonymous terms. Disappointed in their
struggle for the first they grasp the last
and at the same time pocket all tie money they
can wiring from the barren fsols" who can be
found in any community eager to grasp at any
doctrine which is novel, no matter how out
rageous it may be. They arc continually ad-

great body Of their audiences onty came to be

Yankee. has gone step further. and in her
management of the business Of the Women's

1t is almost needless for us to say that these
women are entirely devoid Of personal attrac-
tions. They are generally thin maiden ladies,
