THE FLUCTUATIONS IN PATRIOTIC STOCK.

Cuban stock, which had shot up to very high
figure on the seizure Of the Black Warrior, has,
it seems, undergone as sudden depression. The
philanthropists banded together in New York,
under the title of the Cuban J1nta, having for
their object the emancipation of the obstinate Gu
bans and their rich plantations, greatly eated
by the recent occurrence at Havana, as promising,
if not an immediate national collision, at least
peal Of neutrality laws, and consequent freedom
to all freebooting expeditions whether against Cuba
or any other rich Spanish island. But the hopes of
this enterprising association have been damped by
the calm tone Of the Presidents Message, and the
journals in the interest of the junta censuring
the President for evincing "lack of courage and
energy" We confess that the absence Of vaporing
in the is to us its chief recommendation and
this calm style would have been quite as proper had
the circumstances of the case demanded immediate
and extreme measures The President had been
made aware by one journal that " there never was
time when the plans of the Cuban J1nta and
sthose who work with them were SO we'll organized
sand their means SO ample as at present. In New
York there is ammunition enough stored to supply
an invading force which could sweep the island Of
sCuba from east to west in thirty days; that men
are ready and have attained respectable state Of
discipline the officers are ready, willing, and
sanxious, and are soldiers of such accomplishment
tvalor, and prudence that the ranks Of an expedi-
6 ton which they would lead against such an army
as that in Cuba would be crowded with the best
volunteers which this country would furnish"
We should like to know, by the way, how all
these drllings of soldiers and dscpning of forces
and accumulation of munitions have been going on
without molestation from the Government officers,
whose duty it is, so long neutrality laws re-
main unrepealed, to look after and repress such
proceedings
Another journal lets the President know that
among the numerous communications it received
ION the subject of the Black Warrior seizure was one
with the heading $4,000 men for CuJa,' from an
officer who has served in the United States navy
{ and commanded in the merchant service that
there captains and officers enough in New York
ready to raise $4,000 seamen and soldiers to
whip the ID Spaniards out of Cuba
The President is, however, unmoved from the
line of propriety by these tempting advices, and,
with tone of moderation and dignity beftting his
station and the delicacy of the occasion, simply
submits the matter to the national representatives
for examination and decision, by whom, trust, it
will be treated without passion, and without the
slightest reference to the hopes or schemes Of the
Cuban Junta. ..~ ...

CONNECTICUT ELEcTIoN.-The next State Elec-
ton is that of Connecticut to take place the Sd
of April. The State Conventions of both parties
having passed resolutions against the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise, the people may be regarded
as nearly unanimous on that question. 1t is not
supported BY any candidate for Office, of either
party, in the State. On that subject, therefore,
the April election will be all one way.

CHERRY PICTORIAL,
For the rapid Cure of

CONSUMPTION.


Many years Of trial. instead of impai
ing the public confidence in this medicine,
has won for it an appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectations of its friends. Nothing but its
intrinsic virtues and the unmistukable
benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many. inferior
remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget. and
produced cures too numerous and too re-
markable to be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pre-
tend that any one medicine will infallibly
cure-still there is abundant proof that
the CHERRY PEcroRA- does not only as q
general thing, but almost invariably, cure
the maladies for which it is employed.
