| Annexation of Cuba. 1--WE know of only one
, way of dissuading the white population Of Cuba
from their inclination TO join the United States,
aud TO form amongst themselves one or several
distinct States. We cannot say If this tendency
exists--we hope il does not but il appears 10 us
: | impossible thai the inhabitants of Cuba will not,
| some day or other feel desire 10 be annexed 10
their nearest neghbors. Their interests urge them
they forcibly in that way. When once IN the Union
would form there a sovereign State; they would
govern and administer themselves; they would
!, | have in the federal government protector whom
. no one would venture TO brave, and they would be
, relieved from the enormous tribute winch they
, every year pay into the Golfers OF the peninsula.
For their products OF every kind they would have
: an immense market. without having TO pay any
entrance duties. II must also be declared that the
agitations in Spain, should they be PROLONGED, can
not fail TO generate in the minds OF the inhabitants
I of Cuba ideas Of annexation, supposng that they
! have remained free from them up TO the present
line. But how is that current TO be struggled
against if not in developing at Cuba, by the free
consent and initiative 81 the mother country, civil,
commercial and polite franchises
, Hitherto we have not spoken Of the blacks and
NJ their acknowledgements We will not guarantee
that the project of emancpating the blacks VIII be
pleasing 10 the white population OF Cuba, or 10
The creole or native poprlstion OF Europe The
| contrary appears TO us exceedingly Prooaoiy
Creoles OF all the colonies have shown but little
: sympathy for the emancipation OF the blacks; Il
woulI therefore be suppositlon OF too hazardous
character 10 coy that the whites OF Cuba would
NOT prefer The maintenance oil slavery. But the
: Snanisn government cannot forget that all the
other European governments have enfranchised
The blacks in their colonies. The Spanish govern
ment was remarked formerly for the mildness OF
its legislation respecting the blacks, and such q
tradition cannot be PLACED aside 10 the nineteenth
century, when the emancipation OF he blacks is
being accomplished everywhere else.
The Spanish government cannot, without expe-
riencing or later great injury, remain out
: of the way opened up by the other nations, Here
the very interests of its rule over Cuba commands
il. The best means, indeed only infalible one,
of raising, as il by enchantment, barrier be.

sonists is TO set the black there free. On the in
s,ant the intention TO annex Cuba 10 the Ameri

their principal motive in their undertaking is the
