the Cubanos to throw off the Spanish yoke, is
supposed likely greatly to incline the expected
new Spanish government to the sale of the

national party Of the free States II took the first chance
to do this and long before the Nebraska question excited
the tempest in the abolition teapot the Express told the
South that henoeforth it must catch It's gves and
that men in the North not willing 10 peril their
standing for set of ungratefu Shareholders After this
convenient penitence the Express resumed the Seward
uniform But when Nebraska came then the Express ex
poded into manifold denuncation and rebuke Nothing
could exceed its bitterness The work faction was thor
