GrRRIr SNirH OF CuBA-.Thc aIolitionists,
compelled to admit that the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise cannot add a foot OF
slave territory to the Union, have sought an
apology for their scnseless cutlery against
the south in an absurd charge that they
favor the annexation Of Cuba for the pur-
pose of re-oponng the slave trade. Gcrrit
Smith-ultra aboitionist as he is, cannot help
ridiculing the charge, and pronounces it
simply "nouaensical." The following is an
extract from his late address to his constit-
ucnts: .I'
"Again. as an abol,ionist, desire the
annexation Of Cuba to our country, because
that would end the connection Of Cuba with
the African slave trade, and would also go
TAR to end that trade everywhere. do not
forget the charge that the American slave
holders are in favor Of rc-opening that trade
with this country. But know that the
charge is nonscnsical. Not only d es their
interest forbid it, but do them no more
than justice when say that their civiliza
ton iorbids it. They have ou'grown the
ba,barism of the African slave trade. May
they speedily outgrow the barbarisms which

There are Wings who still revere the
memory and believe in the political doc.
trincs Of the late Henry Clay of Kentucky,
who for quarter Of century was the en-
bodiment OF the principles Of his party. We
would invite heir particular attention to the
following extract from 4 speech which he
made on the 10Th CAV of November, 1850.
With prophetic vision he seems TO have fore
seen that the effort would be made in the
Free States to "iuse' the Wing party with
the aboli,onists, which at the present time
is attracting the public attention. Mr. Clay
in that event, announced what he should do
in the following emphatic terms;
"But if it nhe Wing party is to be
merged into contemplate Abolition party,
and if Abulitionisn is TO be cngraited upon
the Whg creed, from that moment ! re-
nouncc the party aud cease to be a Wing.
go yet a step further: II am alive, | will
give my humble support to that man for
President who to whatever party he may
belong, is not tainted by hnai,iclsm, rather
than the one who, crying out all the time
that he is whc. maintains doctrines utter
ly subversiye of the Constitution and Of the
! Union"
Was Clay humbus, and were his principles
all wrongg How can the wings Of 1852 join

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union contains speech prepared
by MIR. Latham, of California, and deliv.
cred, pro lorna, yesterday, in the Hall Of
the House, upon what is known as the
California civil fund question. 1t is an
argument to show the justice of Califor.
Mas claim to that money, so far with
held from her by the General Govern
ment- This effort Is the ablest argument,
by long odds, which has yet ooe. EN-.
light on the question. Some twenty
congressional speeches have been made
to it since the admission of California. If
1t b possible to induce Congress to listen
to that claim, this speech must have the
desired effect. The Union discusses the
principles of the veto message, and holds
that no one has . right to deduce from
the Presidents veto of the insane bill,
that he will also veto any other particu-
lar measure to be named. The organ
further discusses " the reign of Fraud
&C., according to the EDITORS vocabu-
lary,) the four years before the advent Of
Pierce to the presidency.
The Infelligereer discusses the veto
message, in which, as might have been
expected, the editor can see nothing to
admire. He says:
There is no constitutional power which in.
terposes an objection to the bill vetoed. 1t is
the first veto that ever has been given to an
appropriation of the public lands, and it is ex-
eeedingly unfortunate that the Administration
should have come before the country with a
copstltu ional objection when none can exist
1t Is generally agreed that the veto power was
not given to be interposed except on constitu-
tional questions. Before General jackson e
administration, We believe no law was vetoed
on question of policy.
The argument of the President that the
lands are pledged for the redemption of the
public debt. must excite smile in the reader.

portunIty OF purchasing stocks of the Govern
ment at a premium, this argument ia brought
