THURsDAY, AUGUST 3, 1854.

CueA.-On the LIST inst, the President
transmitted message TO the Senate, stating
that he may have chance to get hold of Gu
Ia during the recess of Congress, and asking
that $i0,0eO,O oe may be placed at his dispos-
al, to enable him to take immediate advantage
Of any favorable accident that may occur. He
tells the Senate that measures have been taken
for the amicable adjustment of our disputes
with Spain; but if those measures fail, he
will employ force. 1t is in anticipation of this
failure that he modestly asks to be entrusted
with SO much of the public money.
We do not think that the Presidents mes
sage indicates much common sense; it GER
tainly does not exhibit much craftsmanship.
A true American patriot might desire to see
Cuba annexed to the United States, but wise
and prudent statesman would never publicly
say SO. By such an exposure, the secret
spring of all our action towards Spain, be-
comes apparent. 1t is not our national honor
and dignity that we seek to vindicate; we on
ly mean to steal an island. tits not the spirit
of the brave, proud old chivalry, so prompt to
resent insult, that we exhibit; it is the spirit
of brigands, whose Interior aim is plumber.
The President does not give one satisfactory
reason for asking this appropriation. There
is no exigency which renders such an appro
priation necessary; and even if there was,
we would strenuously object to putting such
temptation before SO weak character We
trust the House viii promptly reject the pro-
position.
We can easily perceive that the present
state of affairs in Spain, encourages the adj
ministration to hope that something will turn
up to the advantage of fhbusterism, and that
the door of Cuba will be opened to us, If
Queen Isabella is compelled to run away
from Madrid and take refuge in exile, our
diplomatists may be able to buy Cuba from
her, or the revolutionists, cheap if however,
neither of them win trade, our Minister can
plead that " his measures have failed" and
our fleets and armies can then be sent to take
it. Anarchy in Spain will greatly facilitate
such proceedings. We do not expect that the
administration viii be more magnanmous to-
wards Spain than they were towards Grey
town.

Illinois.

The legislature of Illinois, in 1868, passed
a law prohibiting any colored man from en-
tering that State, upon pain of being sold at
auction, to any one who would pay the most
for his seryile labor. This execrable edict,
which was passed by the Douglas clique, in
utter opposition to the sentiments of the peo-
pie, is a nullity in the northern part of the
State, and has always been so still, it re-
mains upon the statute book, blotting and
blurring the fair fame of the Commonwealth.
illinois seems, at last, however, to have looked
seriously at the position to which Douglas and
his minions have reduced her; and her cit-
zens are now acting in a manner that is not at
all gratifying to A" Stephen A." and his body
guard. Cassius NJ. Clay of Kentucky, and
Mr.. Codding have recently been addressing
the people of Illinois, and their speeches have
been everywhere listened to by large assem-
blages Of people, and received with the ut
most enthusiasm. These indications of the
popular feeling, are not very gratifying to the
postmasters, and other consumers of the pub
lie swill, and they sometimes valorously throw
themselves before the current, and try to stem
it; with what success they do SO, the follow
ing from the Chicago Tribune, will show.
SAT Alton there was the silence of the
Sabbath hour, the streets deserted, no teams
or people from the country to trade, for fear
of the cholera; yet Messrs. Clay and Codding
addressed an audience of fifteen hundred
from the steps Of the Madison Mill. The
Postmaster, English, defended the admins
tration, and in doing so was compelled 10
claim the Nebraska scheme "as secret more
neent Of Pierce and Douglas for the abolition of
sIaUery, and unless it was SO, he aoou5d repWds-
ate the administration. A few moments
after the close of the meeting, he was found
in consultation in front of the Post Office,
with Dr. Hope, who claims the honor of hav-
ing shot Lovejoy. With great indignation
he inquired if such meeting, and such
crowd in the public streets, to hear Clay;
would have been tolerated in Philadelphia, in
Baltimore, or in Washington, and swore that
1t should not have been in Alton; he'd be
damned if he wouldn't have paid for the eggs
to break the meeting up" The party lines
being pretty closely drawn, DIR. Hope, the
assassin of Lovejoy, and the Postmaster, on
one side, and all the rest of the people ON the
other, the attempt to egg down the speaker
would have been rather of an unequal contest
with popular sovereignty
AT Quincy, KimbalPs Hall was crowded to
hear Clay in the afternoon, and Codding in
the evening The leading minds of this
growing city were present at each of the
meetings Like success and great enthusiasm
attended the gatherings in Iowa, and at Rock
Island -

CHOLERA. = On Tuesday, LIST inst, there
were II new cases of cholera in New York,
and deaths. In Brooklyn, there were only
new cases and deaths. In Williamsburgh,
2 cases and deaths.
In Troy, N. Y, there were 25 cases during
the 4S hours ending Monday noon, 3lst ult.
Fourteen persons had died.
Only fatal cases had occurred in Boston,
during the "a hours ending Wednesday noon.
1t would seem that the disease is not only abat-
ing but is assuming less malignant type.
The Board of Health in this city, are taking
eruing to the public, from the filthy habits of

of cleaning up goes briskly on.

STATE Reform School FOR GIRLS. - We

DRowNED.-We learn from Mr.. B. D..
Walker, of Ross Express, that an Irishman
named Murray, aged about 90 years, was
fished out of the cove near the R. R. Depot
at Providence, on Wednesday, I'd inst. He
was discovered by some boatmen while cross
ing the water in their boats. 1t is surmised,
from the bruises on the body, that he had met
with foul play.
Same afternoon, two Irish girls were drown
ed while playing on raft in small lily

The awful rumor that Sontag and Pozzolini
had been poisoned by Count Rossi, is thus
commented on by the Musical World and
Times " Nil-maortujs nisi bonum. Of course
there can be nothing in it-but malice. The
rumor is doubtless of Italian origin. 1t sounds
Italian-it is entirely un-American. One of
the city Italian papers published, we believe,
an announcement of Pozzolini's death by
cholera, and in parenthesis placed signs of ex-
clamation & y Hence perchance the report.
A year ago, even, we heard the usual gossip
which is circulated about professional persons
of celebrity, applied in the case of the noble
Sontag to the name Of Pozzolini. But what
folly A lady of Sontag's mature age of so
"a mother who had sacrificed nil her comfort
for her children and husband, and yet to give
cause of jealousy in connection with young
man like Pozzolni Even changing the latin
sentiment quoted above-asd de mortuis ssiSt
vERUM--the world surely could utter nothing
that would initiate against the fair fame of
Henrietta Sontag'
Death gives the fairest forms to the worms;
and sometimes he gives also, the fairest repu-
tations to the worms of SANDER. The whole
life of Sontag was protest against the truth
of the above story.

The KNOW MORNINGS OF MASSACHUSETTS,
The Boston correspondent of the N. Herald
has the following:
"The number of Know Nothing lodges in
the State is now said to be about two hundred
and fifty. There is a rumor that there is to
be business convention of the Know No
things in this city Tuesday, August l /; but 1
know nothing about it. This convention is
understood to be only preliminary to another
convention, that will meet here late in the au-
tumn, just before the State election. Both
conventions will be composed of delegates
from the various lodges. Report says that
there is much difference of opinion in the or
Governor. A strong party is in favor Of nom
mating Mr.. Banks, while others oppose his
nomination. Nothing definite will probably
be known on the subject, until the morning
OF election day. The Know Nothings say
that they shall throw fifty thousand votes
