We would invite the attention of our readers
to the following proclamation by the President,
warning all persons against organizing an ex-
petition against the Island of Cuba, and call
ing upon the civil and military authorities to
interfere, as far as they rghtfuly can, to prevent
a violation of our neutrality laws and treaty
stipulations.
For some time we have seen statements in
the newspapers that such an expedition was
meditated but they were SO vague and uncer-
tain that we doubted whether any Importance
should be attached to them. We do not know
what information the Executive has received
on the subject, or what evidence has been ad-
duced to support it we suppose, however, that
the government has good and sufficient grounds
for the belief that there is q scheme on foot in
violation of the law of 1918, which forbids ex-
peditions against the possessions of any nation
with which we are at peace.
The law is plain and explicit, and no matter
what may be the opinions Of individuals as to
its wisdom and justice, every good citizen must
sustain the President in a just and proper exc
cution Of it whilst it remains on the statute
book. The annexed proclamation is the third
which the Cuban revolutionists have called
forth, and it affords us much pleasure to state
that it avoids the glaring errors of its predeces
sors. The proclamation of General Taylor
paid no regard to that article of the Constitu-
ton which secures every citizen from unreason-
able search and seizure by requiring a legal
process from court of competent jurisdiction,
for it was based upon the idea that the Presi
dent might authorize an arrest by procama
ton That Of Mr.. Fillmore was equivalent to
decree of outlawry in advance, and it placed
Lopez and his followers on the footing o.
pirates, because they committed misdemeanoI
punishable only by fine and Imprisonment
General Pierce has acted properly in the pre-
misses. He has stated the true nature of the
offence which those who organize armed expe
ditons within our borders commit; he has
warned all good citizens against violating the
law and he has called upon the officers of the
government to exert themselves, as far as they
can rightfully, to arrest a movement which the
laws of the country forbid. We earnestly de
sire to see the Spanish yoke broken, and Cuba
annexed to the United States, but it is the duty
of the President to execute the laws of the land
and he should be sustained in dscharging hi;
duty.

A peaceable solution of the Eastern ques-
ton is very difficult, if not impossible. at the
present time. From the beginning, this East
ern question seems to have been guided by an
invisible agency, superior to anything human !;
for among the parties interested, there is not
one who has wished for war, not one, includ-
ing the Gar himself, who has not proclaimed
to the world his earnest desire for peace. Ev-
erybody wishes for peace, and yet the whole
world is led on to war, as if a war had long
been among the DEGREES Of God

After a moments hesitation she replied
" General, think that you resemble skillful

are building behind s@afold, which YOU will

thought that, in Bonaparte's mind, the scaffold
concealed the restoration Of the legitimate
dynasty. She was deceived concerning the
intentions of the man; but her remark is none

has been violating the fugitive slave law very
recently, and, although no one is better ac-
quainted with the magnitude of the offence,
and the penalties that await him, he seems to
manifest no signs Of regret, or repensance.-
On the contrary, he rather glories in what he
has done, if we may judge from the following
extract from his paper of the Esd inst:
1.-TWO days since, four young men passed
through this place, en- route for Canada, the
land of the free. Slaves they were, but are
SO no more, thank God. They were from

HEAVY PUNISHMENT OF A BIGAMIsT.-A gen.
teel looking man, named Jacob Johnson, about
thirty years of age, married lady in Port
land, Maine, on the 10th day of December,
lS49, with whom he lived up to September,
1852, when he disappeared. He went to
Portsmouth. Va, where he attempted to mar
ry another lady, but the fact of his already
having wife was discovered, and he
left that place. On the Sth day of September
last he was joined in wedlock to a lady of Bal
timore. The fact of his former marriage was
discovered on the third day after the marriage,
and the father of the second wife commenced
an investigation. He was tried in the Balti-
more Circuit Court, was convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for seven years two
months and eight DAYS. Both his wives were
in Court, and were much affected at their ex-
poaure. Johnson wept continually after re-
ceiying his sentence The first wife, after the
conviction, wished to have an interview with
him, that they rnight talk about their children,
one Of whom had died since his arrest but
he Tesolutely refused to have anything to say
to her, at the same time stating that he should
ike to have an interview with the last one.-
This was refused.

WORCESTER DAILY spy ;.
" :. TUESDAY MARCH

LossEs AT San FRANoIsco. The losses on
flour and on some other articles at San Fran
cisco are enormous. Flour has been sold at
auction as low as 1927 l-2to $3,77l-2. This,
however, is the lowest quotation that we have
seen. The San Francisco correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce SAYS:
con Saturday last, one of our prominent
commission houses proceeded to sell at auction
their stock of butter and provisions, as per i'm
perative orders from Eastern owners. At rates
realizing from 80 to fifty per cent. loss to ship
pers.
Money Is very abundant, but the security
required on loans must be Of UNREASONABLE
character, and to twice or thrice the value of
the loan, at rates of interest ranging from l-2
10 IL per cent. per month, and on short
loans to per cent. per month.
1t is somewhat questionable whether the
rcmittances Eastward will continue to average
four millions per month, as the great decline
Of staple goods, and the falling off of freights,
must soon be felt. The decline in flour is
sufficient OF itself, to reduce the remittances at
least five hundred thousand dollars per month,
to say nothidg of the decline in butter, and
other articles.
On flour, the losses must be immense. A
parcel Of 1000 bbls., recently sold here, cost
the Eastern shipper $500, after losing the
first colt. A heavy tax this, on a single ship
ment but this instance is but trihe. 1t was
only last week, that a full cargo of over 1000
bbls, flour arrived here from Richmond, per
ship Samuel Appleton on which the loss can
not be short of $40, OOO-over So per bbl.-
Another parcel of $50 bills, Richmond -four
outside brand, sold at private sale at S., sub
sequently sold at SIS Ia; 1900 at SIS l-2. $780,
600 lbs. butter, in kegs, packed in hhds. and

MORE OPPOSITION TO THE NEBRASKA BILL.
In the House of Representatives on Thurs
day, an important demonstration against the
bill was made by two Southern members. Mr.
Millson, Democrat, of Virginia, made a quasi
assault upon the Senate bill. He thought OPP
position the natural position of the South, in
regard to all such bills. Hethought the South
would not be benefited by such a repeal of
the Missouri Compromise as was proposed,
and he was opposed to all middle ground.
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana, made noble and
manly speech in opposition to the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise in any form He
took the broad and high ground that it was
breach of plighted faith-that it would be dis
honorable to the South and contrary to the
true policy of the country. We are reioiced
that at last one Wing has been found at the
South with sufficient regard to the dictates,
alike of honor aud of true policy, to take open
ground against the Nebraska peridy, on the
true and strongest ground that it is breach
OF faith, and therefore no honorable man can
have anything to do with it.
