any wherever sufficient may arise justly calling
for interference We shall advocate the exercise
of this right of interference in any wild Quixoe sense
but shall be studoasly careful to allow ourselves to
be driven from maintaining its existence by yielding any
point of convictions TRADES the sancuy Of
property held in defiance the claims of the rphtful
owner.
The mere instincts of interest will teach recog-
Mise AS property anything which he himself might
easily acquire. IL doubtless the with govern
ments European governments have shown that they
are disposed to sustain and recognise in another
all the rights of property to their several foreign pos
sessions when not Immediately regarded with a covet-
GUS eye accompanied by the opportunity and physical
force to seize them for their purposes The conflict
of political morals this question is well illustrated by
the colonial history OF France and England These powers
have often fought in the wds of America the ungles
of India during the seeming reign of the prooundes
at home 1t is unnecessary to rocapulae instances to
hbit the shocking atrocities and unmitigated enormiies
which have accompanied the acquisition rule by
European of their possessions beyond the
Asia America The history Of the three
turtles is red with their details We remarks
have general well particular hearing but do not
pretend to disguise that they especially directed
to the existing Spanish rule in the island Of Cuba We
led to this clearly that the attempt is
about being made to carry out the policy which was plan
ned and started through the Vaccinations at Madrid Of
Howden, the English ambassador, who, with lagos
eronery crupes not to the vehicle Of familiar and
private correspondence to pass such words through the

cover, plain teaches that when Eng
lands olgarcy processes love for the negro it is only
chosen phass for presenting their hate to Americas de-
mocracy When people like the Creoes of Cuba held
under the subsection of the srctes and harshes military
rule sustained by resortng the most degrading and des
pcabe system of espionage and police they
action in the hour Of their uttermost peril for
their defence independence, We know from the vim
dctve threats of their oppressors that than
them attain that basis Of all other rights Of people,
these yrannca rulers would hen bound hand and
foot the mercy of the ruthless and savage African Is
it crime before God to interpose in such

and sustain them in the assertion Of their rghts 1t
will be place if should here for moment
vert to those of deluded young counyen who joined
Lopez in his unsuccessful attempt free the Creoes Of
Cuba from the Spanish yoke These misguided young
violated the laws Of their country and rendered them
selves amenab as citizens the nation in any penalty
might impose for the vndicaton of those laws. But
they were far less appropriately chageable with the ap
the present lights and glories of Englands armies and
naves when they fought in the peninsula Of Spain
and Portugal for the intrusive usurpcs the Pedros and
Isabellus against the occupant yrans the Migues and
Caroscs Posterty in its just estimate of the relative
merits of such acts will doubtless class the latter as gal

martyrs the shrine Of liberty preach disregard

darity mutually Of interests with the other powers OF
the world, by which should guaranty them in the
maintenance of their possessions however wrongfuy

the of things is disturbed by of the par
ties treaty as directly indirectly to affect threat
en- the interests of the other party, such party
properly fairly disregard the stpnlaons of that treaty
without any violation of pghted faith.
We must therefore conclude that the people of the Uni
ted States nation constituting of the great powers
of the earth, under obligation whatever either by
treaty otherwise which should compel them passvey
to await the copsumnaon of such action of the Spanish
government might lead the determination of the Gre
oles of Cuba So that whenever they have reasonable
grounds apprehend the adoption of such policy the
part of Spain the placing the negroes of that island
footing of equality with the whites which must result in
the determination driving off the latter they have full
and ample right people looking to their safety
and the preservation of important interests to adopt for
their action and guidance such countepolicy may

tend to the forcible occupation of the island
SOUTHERN WINGS VERSUS NORTHERN DEMO-

Every day serves to convince u.s. and more of the
faihlessness that small class ofsouthern who try

the plea that the democrats Of the free States anxious

exists is adjunct to abolitionism-a tender to
