EMANCIPATION IN CUBA.

The declaration of the Spanish Ministry, to
which we refer, was made in the Cortes at Mad
rid on the 9Th of March. 1t had transpired that
the Captain General of Cuba had transmitted
to the Government detailed report on the
suppressed conspiracy, together with his views
on the state of feeling in the Island. 1t seems
that in that document General Concha insisted
upon some political concessions to the Cubans,
as, for instance, representation in the CorteS,
and that he further maintained that the import
alton of negroes must be checked by all legal
means, though he believed that additional meas
ures, such as declaring the slave trade to be
piracy, might be too dangerous, and might pre-
cipitate a crisis which would perhaps leopard
the possession of the island, and transfer it to
the flibusters. The Spanish public did not
like Concha's views, thinking them too timid,
and not thoroughgoing enough; and, in order
to ascertain the policy of the Ministry, General
Serrano interrupted the debate on the Consti-
tuition, and demanded explanations as to the
contents Of Concha's dispatches. Mr.. Luzur-
riaga, the Minister of Finance, stated all the
facts of the detected conspiracy, and assured
the Cortes that the tranquility of the colony
was in no further DANGER and that the Cuban
garrison was to be REINFORCED from Spain. AT
the same time he limited that the conspiracy
was fostered by parties in the United States,
and insisted with great energy upon the fact,
that all the conspirators arrested were notorious
supporters of Slavery. Proceeding from this
point, the Minister took occasion to declare,

DEATH OF REV. JOSIAH HUTCHMAN.

With deep sorrow, We announce to our read
ers at a distance, that the grave has closed upon
all that was mortal of the Rev. Josiah Hutch
man. He died last Saturday, at o'clock, of an
affection of the lungs.
The death of Mr.. Hutchman is public ca
lamity. He has long been one of the leaders
and advisers of the Anti-Slavery cause, which it
is the aim of this paper to advance. Endowed
with superior intellect, which was admirably
matured and disciplined by study and possess
ed of a singular sagacity, which enabled him to
foresee consequences, his services in the great
cause of Freedom were invaluable.
An insidious disease, which leads its victims
along the road to death, tantalizing them ever
and anon with hopes of recovery never to be
realized, has carried him to the tomb. amidst
the bitter yet unavailing regrets of large cir
Gle of friends and admirers. But although he
has fallen in the midst of his days and useful
ness he leaves to his fellow laborers the exam
pie of a thorough devotion to the cause of God
and humanity, and to his children the legacy of
a name unsullied and irreproachabe.

The foreign letters and papers by the Asia

troops were held in readiness to suppress it.
WAR NEWS.
The French rockets had set fire to SebastOpol

is confirmed. Russia has again prohibited the

Olozaga, on this bold declaration of the Minis

After such declaration and such unani-
nous approval by the National Legislature
which strangely enough the British journals
represent as applying to the slave trade, not to
Slavery-there can be no doubt that the meas
ure will be carried through, and that while
Cuba, by being represented in the Cortes, be-
comes an integral part of Spain instead of a
colony, the abolition of Slavery will leave the
United States and Brazil the only slaveholding
countries of Christendom. How this measure
will be regarded by the present Executive of
this country, and by our slave-driving states
men generally, is well known to the public.
The report of the 0stend Conference signed by
James Buchanan, John Y. Mason, and Pierre
Soule, AYERS that in such an eventuaGty, we shall
be justified, by every law human and divine, in
making war against Spain, to prevent such a
measure, and to acquire the island as a posses
sion, and market for our own slave-drivers and
slave-breeders. 1t is beyond dispute that an
effort will at once be made to plunge us in
war for no other purpose than to prerem the d6-
clifton Of Sldrery on a Spanish island. = No
doubt other pretexts will be invented to dis
guise this revolving object, but we warn the Os-
tend plotters and negro-catching political gam
blers, that all their attempts TO hide the truth
will be in vain. The free people of the North
will never allow such war. We defy the con-
spirators to make tn y. Tribune.

that the head of the Navy Department objects
to sending the contributions out in national

sells from its proper duties, and devote it to the
transportation of industrial products The COM
mittee have it in contemplation to raise, by vol
untary contribution, the funds necessary to send
these products to Havre, in time for the exhibit
ton. AT Havre the goods will be taken charge
of by the agent Of the French Imperial Com

Connecticut Election

Hartford, Apru 2.-The annual election in
this State, for Governor, Lieutenant Governor.
Secretary of State, Comptroller, with members
of the Legislature and members of Congress.
took place to-day. The result, as far as known,
is as follows:
In thirty towns, Ingham, Dem, for Governor,
leads all other candidates Minor, Know
Nothing, leads Dutton, Wing, largely, and he
falls little short of Ingham. There appears
to be no election by the people. The Democrats,
as far as heard from, elect 26, and the Know
Nothings and Wings Il to the Legislature.
Several strong Know Nothing Districts are yet
to hear from.
The result in the first Congressional District
between James F. Pratt, Dem, and Ezra Clark,
jr., Opposition, is doubtful. In the Sd district,
Sydney Dean, Wing and Know Nothing, is
elected by a large majority.
Hartford sends one Democrat and one Know
Nothing, and New Haven two Democrats to the
Legislature.
We apprehend this is but the beginning of a
reaction, which, we have already predicted,
would give new lease of life to Hunker De-
mocracy. So much for Know Nothingism.

BY an advertisement, which appears in our

had an argument in reserve against continuing

far more potent than any submitted u. Congress.
That argument was, that boats cor ID be run

poses to address this argument dire Aly to the
