Mr.. ROBERT TYLER VERSUS GEORGE LAW
Now and then we hear of Captain John Tyler,
and more frequently Of Robert, promising
and talented chip of the old block. In fact,
the Captain has left the field of politics to
Robert, pretty much as Martin Van Buren, has
left 1t to Prince John. The last demonstration
Of Mr.. Robert Tyler, who is at once a poet and
q politician, was at Philadelphia last week, in
q regular set speech against the Know
Nothings, in which he says =

It is the arrow in the heel of Achilles. Abolish
slavery in Cuba, and what can we do with it?
The South will not consent to the annexation
Of free negro rendezvous for their fugitive
slaves nor will the North consent that slavery
shall be there re-established. Or what will

Cuba be worth, as q free gift to the South, with
a population, to begin with, of 100000 free
negroes, against an aggregate of 100000
whites, such as they are?
We have had the cry of "wolf," "wolf," so
long and SO often from the Cabinet organ at
Washington, that it has ceased to excite any
further alarm than the boy in the fable But
here we have the wolf himself before us. The
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs says his
government "has finally decided" to put an
end to the institution of slavery in Cuba.

against insurrectionists and flibusteros are to

These are the temporary safeguards. The per-

force, ''what is to be donew How are we to
prevent the fulfilment of this scheme of Afri-
canization, upon which the abolition aristo-
cracy of England and their affiliated traitors Of
the North rely SO strongly for sapping the in

an institution which the Spanish premier him
self does not hesitate to denounce as "a pest and
shame to humanity" So we perceive that
since the expulsion of the queen mother, Chris
tina, great moral revolution has been worked
out in the government of her daughter. The
pin money Of Christina, as all the world knows
was derived for many years from her commits
sion, per capita, upon African slaves success
fully landed in Cuba, in spite of international
laws and Spanish treaties denouncing the traffic
as piracy. 1t is also known that the Spanish
authorities of the island shared in these pratt
cal profits, and that the Cortes at Madrid quiz
city connived at If they were not directly i'm
plcated in the business.
Whence this sudden revolution in Spain,
which not only recoils upon the African slave
trade, butupon the old. established and successful
institution of slavery in Cuba, as "a pest and q
shame to Humanity? may charge it to the ma
chinations Of England and France, to the dlsaf
fected creoles Of Cuba, to the flibusters OF the
United States, to the mission of Mr.. Soule, and
to the conviction at Madrid that the Africaniza-
tion Of Cuba will be an infallible safeguard
against the absorption of the island into the Anne
rican Union, and the only infallible barrier,
henccforth and forever, to that consum nation.
The Jealous vigilance Of England, the mission Of
Soule, the Ostend Conference, and the general
ihibustering pretensions upon which this
Pierce administration set out upon its worse
than useless experiments in European diploma
cy, have, however, been the chief instrumen-
talities TO the conversion Of Spain to the Ameri.
