MORAL SUAsIoN ys PROHIBrTORY LAWS.
AT convention of temperance men, held
at Woodstock, w., on Monday week the fol-
lowing resolution, among others was adop-
ted:
Resolred, That we believe the cause Of
temperance has declined since the enactment
of the present stringent laws for its
support; and that to recover the ground al
ready lost by i'll Legislation upon this sub.
jcct, it is necessary to drive the question al.
together from the political arena, and to re.
turn to the good old way of convincing men
of the error of their ways by the power Of
| reason.

The recent outrage upon the Black Warrior,
the general burst of Indignation which has

Congress for the repeal of the neutrality
laws, have given n new Impulse to the fill.
bustero associations, and infused fresh cour.
are into the Cuban exiIcs. Should the new
trality laws be repealed, it seems highly prob.
able that organizations preparatory to a great
expedition against Cubs will be set on foot
along the whole line of const from New York
to New Orleans. The Cuban cxilcs are said
to have raised already Il sum of one million
of dollars for the cause; another million
could soon be raised in this country, if the
government declared that it would not inter-
ferc. In very short space of time, an army
of ten thousand men could be enrolled, Just
as able and efficient as that which conquered
the Mexicans; and we have not doubt that
some of the old Mexican Gencrals-General
Quitman among others-wOuld be ready and
willing to accept posts of command. The
present time is peculiarly favorable for tho
execution of any such designs. Both France
and England are engrossed with the pros.
pcct Of u European war, and neither could
lend any assistance to Cuba that would DO

to stand neutral, Cuba had better make

that sacred instrument which we are all sworn
to support"
