That portion ofths Governors N ~
sage wherein be calls attention Of tn
legislature to What IS thought to b
the design ef England and Spain ii
reference to Cuba, has become I'll,
principal subject for leaders in thu
city press, and per force we are called
on to say something about it.
The Bulletin thinks that 1.-THE Gov
ernor had better left out the conclus
ion. Of his message" and that "the
people can no longer he humbugged
about Cuba" The Crescent is Of
very near the same opinion. The
Delta thinks that ''the editor Of
the Bulletin probably does not
understand Spanish, OF he would
not make this reckless assertion. II
he had h4es. =, ,.e.a<arr of rho Spanish
journals edited usually by the Captain
Generals Secretary, he would have
seen ample proof of this rule and ruin
tendency Of that Government he
would have read long and plausible
arguments in favor Of emancipation,
and the virtual realization Of what the
Bulletin believes would be far better
for the interests of Louisiana, to wit:
the delivery ofthis Beautiful island to
the African race"
, Our neishbor in Church street, (but
not therefore piously inclined-hav-
ing a good deal Of the recklessness of
Young America about him) thinks
that the Crescent is an old Fogy, and |
gives vent to the following excl:nna-
ton IN reference to him aud his con-
feres: -s... 4
What terrible thing Young
America is, to he sure. and what aciiZ
become If the world when all the Ud I
Fogies are dead! What a racket
Young America will make over their
quiet conservative, old bonesAalmost
enough to keep them from sleeping
soundly,"
This opens the battle, and we
scarcely know what position to take.
The Bulletin and the Crescent are anti
beilnm, and the Delta with the Advo-
cate BY its side, is bellun1: The mat
ter in controversy is Afficahization.-
