Purchase of Cuha.

The New York Herald, usually SO fruitful of ru.
mos, and SO adroit in procuring the earliest ntel
gence, has discovered through its Washington CORES
pendent, that negotiations for the purchase and
transfer Of Cuba the United States have already
resulted in bargain. This may be so, or it may
not be- nj be- besides being the earliest intelligence
the subject, it is also the most pleasing and
interesting with which the public has been favored
for many day. We incline to the belief, however,
that it is only the invention of Washington CORES
pondcnt's fanciful brain, greatly distressed fnd
something uucommony piquant and refreshing for
It's readers. The Herald ITSELF it appears, does
attach very serious Importance to the statement OF
its correspondent Even its faith in the truth Of the
report is only about the size of mustard seed For
il informs that tho Statement is not avouched as
positive undeniable fact but is given one of the
dts current in wsll-normed circles the Capt.
toll" to which it kindly adds by way of rc-assuring
US little, that its correspondent credits the rumor'
This is likely; for if Washington correspondents vii!
not credit the rumors they themselves invent it is
hardly probable that other people will, without very
grave doubts as to their truth.
This is one of those runors however, which we
trust may turn out to be true 1t is fixed fact that
Cuba to he and the the better, provided
10 obtained by purchase, or by conquest in just
war. We want no occasion for acquiring it by the
latter mode Therefore, if Mr.. Pierce succeed in
purchasing il at reasonable price, and adding it
peacefully to the American constellation he will be
doing much better work than has been his habit
heretofore-that Of dividing out the spois among
set OF corrupt and ravenous partisans He will be-
sides, divert public attention for a while from the
general mbecility Of his Admnstrat ion, and be-
come, for time, also, the object Of much and en-.
thusiastic Democratic euogium. And surely, Mr..
Pierce ought not to be unmndful of the necessity of
doing something that will bring him praise from even
any quarter-for even his best friends have not been
remarkably lavish of that article for some time past
30 numerous and provoking have been his short
comings. 1t will be most fortunate hit for him.
therefore, if he manage to acquire little eclat
from the purchase and annexation OF Cuba Our
friendly hints, trust will not be taken amiss by
the worthy Brigadier We anxious fot him to
redeem himself somewhat, and hence our solictude
Besides, the purchase of Cuba, we believe, would
instantly put end to all danger of war or serious
difficulty between US and France and England. 1t
would also mpart death-blow to Flibusterisn,, and
extinguish the bright hopes of many disconnected
and flaming patriot Therefore, it is, we hope, the
Herald's rumor may be true and that Cuba will
henceforth, cease to be object Of pratical desire
Let it be ours peaceably and honoraby, and let all
controversy about it be at end as soon as posi-.
