which, protesting devotion to the rights OF La
Dor, upholds system that degrades Labor by
placing il absolutely at the mercy Of Capital,
under its heel, that Democracy which has
the hardihood TO send to the Senate Of the
United States, as fit representative Of State
consecrated to Freedom by the Ordinance Of
1887, and peryaded by the Anti-Slayery senti-
ment, a man who holds that Ordinance to be
unconstitutional and would break down every
bulwark which the wisest and best statesmen
| Of the Republic have erected against the spread
/ Of a barbarous and accursed system--is stu
pendous sham and cheat, and the question now
for the People of Ohio to decide is, how much
longer they intend to be the victims Of it.
DOMESTIC INSTITUTIONS OF CUBA-MTERvEN-
TON ASKED FOB.
We find the following in the New York
Evening Post.
"sResolutions have been introduced, and are
now pending, in the Legislature OF Louisiana,
denouncing the Administration for not interior
ing to prevent the abolition Of Slavery in Cuba
Our telegraphic despatch of yesterday brought
us this piece of intelligence. The South IS cyl
philanthropy Of their neighbor, the Captain
| General Of Cuba. Pezuela has already shown
disposition towards freedom, which, however
it may be in accordance with the dictates Of
Justice and humanity, is not, of course, In har-
m0ny with the Southern sentiment
"The freedom of the emancipad0s, the colo
/ nization scheme, and the tariff limiting the price
| Of slaves, promulgated by the Captain General of
| Cuba, are three severe blows to the Slavery in
terest The direct effect of each and all Of
these measures is to reduce the value of slaves
as marketable commodity, and thus to give
fair competition to free labor These are cum
ningly. devised measures on the part of the Cap
tain General Of Cuba They are based upon
q very shrewd calculation of the meanness and
selfshness Of mankind To turn the interest OF
the Cubans in behalf Of liberty, might be prac-
ticable when no hope was left of converting
their hearts. Hopeless Of any scheme of pure
benevolence, distrustful Of appeals to the senti-
| ment of the slave-owners, Pezuela wastes no
time upon the Cuban's love of his fellows, for
it may be hard to reach, but goes straight to
the Cuban's selfintere6t, which meets him in
the way"
The Fairfield lS c. Herald says:
aCuba is overlooked, Nebraska is fought for,
and what will be the result of the fight? The
| future alone can tell. Both of these countries
are about being snatched from the South; the
loss Of the latter would be but slight restric-
ton to Slavery, while the former, in the hands
of emancipatcd blacks, OF Of foreign Powers de-
! termined to emancipate, would be total loss
to the commerce Of the world and death blow
to the extension Of Slavery. How rapidly is
| this latter destiny being contaminated! Al
| ready the apprenticeship system is being ap-
| piled, and slavers are daily embarking for the
/ African coast TO return laden with slaves, who
| in a few short years will work out their rights
to free citizenship on the island Of Cuba.
This is the design of England and France, and
of course Spain will not hesitate to connive at
| q scheme she has long since desired herself to
accomplish If this suspected object Of the
European Powers ever be attained and Cuba
fall into the hands of the emdncipados no one
can tell the immediate consequences to the In
habitants but the ultimate determination of
the Creole population, or their complete Danish
ment from the island, is a result too palpable
to require prediction. We have but to revert
to the st. Domingo insurrection, and the Hay
ten emancipation, and think now of his woolly-
headed Majesty, Faustin |, to learn the fate OF
emanipated Cuba.
!
We suppose the next phase of the convent
emit doctrine of Non-lntervention will be, Fed
eral Intervention in the domestic affairs of
Cuba The South does not seem disposed to
suffer Spain to attend to her own business in
her own way, to regulate the domestic insti-
buttons Of her colonies. After we have set
tied this Nebraska affair, repealed the Mis-
souri, Compromise, given to the Federal Con-
sttution, which recognises, and carries with it,
Slavery, full play in all United States Terri
tory, the next duty will be to look after the
Territories Of Spain, arrest the impudent in
reference Of the Spanish Government with
their affairs, spread over them the brooding
wings of our Constitution, under which Sla-
very may be cherished and protected
Don't be in hurry, Mr.. Herah-our Non
Intervention President has the matter under
advisement. The little furry about the Black
Warrior affords convenient pretext; and Mr..
Dean is already moving to repeal all our Neu-
trality Laws, as to Spain and Cuba The Adj
ministration will think itself fortunate if it
can break the force Of Public Sentiment in the
North, now gathering against its Nebraska
scheme, by getting up new excitement, even
should that involve the hazard Of war with
Spain.
Keep quiet-don't bruit the matter about
Slavery so openly-it will be much easier to
fight your battle against the Captain General
Of Cuba under the plea Of vindicating the
honor of our flag, than on the open ground Of
Intervention with the domestic institutions Of
the colony.
The North might have some scruples about
engaging in struggle on such ground as
that--espccially after having been SO thoroughly
indocrinatcd into the policy of Non-Intcrven-
ton by Southern Statesmen but it might be
