The New York Tribnps contains =

long editorial showing that there is an
other filllbusting EXPEDITION about ready
to advance upon Cuba. and asserts that
they can do nothing without the conni
vance Of the government, and hints
that government aid is being giyen.-
We are somewhat disposed to believe
that the late fugitive slave riot in Bos-
ton, has given Greedy the nightmare,
and the article in question WAS penned
while under rs influence. Negotiations
of favorable character are pending
between our government and Spain,
which an expedition Of thai kind would
be very likely to lrusttate, and to mag
inc that government would secretly aid
such an expedition under present CIR
cunlstances, Is to suppose the govern
ment incapable Of parsuiDg settled
policy, u doctrine which will not lie
against the present administration 1t
might be We to mention in this connec-
tion that since the overwhelming de-
feat of the wings in -, the 1ri5uae has
disclaimed b. ing whig Journal, and
agowed its intention Of leaning whichev-
er way ii can effect the most for free
DOM. e. agitation Of the slavery
question. It's subsequent splurges in
the bilge water Of ahoitionism are awful
to contemplate. It's other incidental
doctrines such as "Women's Rights"
"Spiritual Rapping, ""S "Swedenborgism,"
'.MessmerismD and .'Fourierism, are
funny than otherwise, and does not in
the least effect its efficacy as an abolition
journal.
The Tribune says the expedition IS to
be commanded by Gen. Quitman of
Mississippi, who is the "son Of a Dutch
reformed clergyman and bor~ ap the
Ruds0a" Such an uuatural birth must
of course presage great deeds, aud Gen.
Quitman may be the man appointed to
fllibuster Cuba away from Spain, as
McDuf, who was also born in an uu-
natural manner, Was the only person
who could slay Macbeth. We believe
in Shakespeare now, but should Quitnan
take Cuba, we shall partially add Gree
ly to our belief hereafter. Warn't

Ras~ The completion of the railway
from Chicago to Rock Island on the
Mississippi, was made the occasion for
grand excursion from Chicago to ST.
Paul, Minnesota. The excursion was
given by the railroad company, who
sent extra trains from Chicago to Rock
Island, and chartered six steamers to
convey their guests from thence to the
Falls Of St. Anthony. The northwest
ern states are being rapidly covered
with network Of railroads. There
is now railroad communication from n.
Y. west to the Missississippi, extending
though the States Of New York, Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana and Illinois Another
State will bring to the Missouri River.
Hannibal in Missouri, is already the
eastern termini of a railroad which
points ambitiously to the Pacific Forty
miles of this road are now completed,
and the balance is under contract 10 the
Missouri river The opening Of the
kanzas aud Nebraska territories to set
tiers, will not have a tendency to impede
the extension west Of these roads. If
there any who do not believe that ten
years hence will see railroad in opera
ton from New York to San Francisco,
''let him 60 weep"-he's too "slow IA
coach" for the present age, and should
join those who permit slavery to obscure
every bright vision Of the future.
