u The New York Sun intnates that a
new plan to effect the independence of Cuba
has been concocted-a plan, it says, which
"wll neither turn to Washington for encour-
agement, TO the South for friends and lead
ers nor to the North for the support Of un-
principled demagogues. 1t contempates the
entire independence of Cuba--a free Cuba,
not to become or be made a means of elect
ing American Presidents, or swelling the
political power of any section of the Un-
ion"
What the new scheme is, says the Balti-
more Sun, and who are its oriyinators, we are
not informed, but there is hint that Mr.. Col.
cura, lately Treasurer of the Cuban Junta, is
connected with it; that it is on somewhat
large scale may be gathered from the follow
ng-we have little faith, however, in these
spectators:
ave may add that the future efforts for the
Independence of Cuba will not be confined to
organizing sympathy on this side of the At
anlic. Liberal offers of aid, made long since,
both in England and France, foran independ-
ent movement, may now be accepted, and il
would not surprise us if the governments
of both those countries should be induced
to let things take the proposed directions in
Cuba"

tE- The safest and more honorable way
Of accumulating wealth and enjoying happl
ness and contentinent is through industry.
Every days experience and observation de
velopes its truth. We see the active, ener
getic man, overcoming difficulties, conquer
ing misfortunes aud elcvatlng his condition
in life. Success and all its concomitant
blessings attend his efforts. With clear
conscience and light heart, he can enjoy
after tho close of a busy day, the quietude
and pleasure Of his family hearthstone.-
The smile of his gentle wife seems more
bewitching, hcr voice sweeter, and the pratt
lie of his little ofsprings is much to his cars.
All is happiness. Strange then, there are
so many who lounge around streets in idle
ness, in the way Of industrious men, and of no
earthly good to society or themselves. Why
not be man; at once call into action those
dormant energies, and thrust yourself into
the great arena oi business life, determined
to make an honorable reputation at last.

And regarding it the highest duty to avow
their opinions upon subject so important, in
distinct and unequivoeal terms. it is hereby
DECLARED as the sense of this National Council,
that Congfess possesses on power, under the
Constitution, TO legislate upon the subbjrct
of SLAVERY in The States where it does or NAV
exist, or to exclude any State from admission
into the Union because its Constitution does
or does not recognize The institution of
slavery as a part of its social system; and
especially pretermitting any expression of
opinion upon the power Of Congress to es-
tablish or prohibit Slavery In any Territory,
it is the SENSE of the National Council that
Congress ought not to legislate upon the
subject of Slavery within the Territory OF the
United States. and that any interference by
Congress with Slavery, ns 1t exists in the
District of Columbia, would be violation of
the spirit and intention of the compact by
which the State of Maryland ceded the Dis
trict TO the United States, and breach of the
National faith.
XITI-The policy of the Government of
the United States, in its relations with foreign
governments, is to exact justice from the
strongest, and do justice to the weakest; re-

ment, all its citizens from interference with
the internal concerns of nations with whom
We are at peace.

each member shall be at liberty to make
known the existence of the Order, and the
fact that he himself is a member; and it re.

THE PORTLAND RIOT.

The investigation going on at Portland is
eliciting some curious statements. According
to the testimony of Captain Charles E. Rob
erts, he and Mayor Dow and two or three
men belonging to the Rifle Guard, went
down into the cellar under the agency, on
the night Of the massacre, and, by order of
Dow, two of the men took guns. Dow wish-
ed to fire up through the gratingsi Capt. r.
understood they acent down for that purpose
But as the cellar was dark, and Capt. Rob.
erts left before the others, he cannot say
whether any personin the cellar fired through
the gratings or not.
William 6. Ten Broeck testified that he
saw the whole affair from the window of the
United States and that the greater part of the
crowd seemed to be spectators, and TO take
no active part in the proceedings.
"You say but a small part of the crowd
engaged in acts of violence--did they seem
to be determined, or was it mere boys
playT
"Before the firing commenced it seemed
TO be boys play think that before the
firing that ii any gentleman had gone
and spoken to them they would have dispers-

Alderman Thomas went out the next eve
ming and addressed the crowd, and they went
away peaceaby."
According to the testimony of John C:
Begg the crowd had no intention of doing
anything except to spill the liquor, which
they said they might destroy because it was
not property. He saw the whole "riot,"' and
his evidence makes the conduct of "the au.
thorities" appear ridiculous as well as wick
ed. After the firing was all over, Mr. Begg
says:
"Neal Dow came out, wringing his hands,
and said, In the name of the State ] com

dozen standing round the door. Neal Dow
followed me,wringing his hands. We backed
off the sidewalk. A young man on the left

A LUCKY MAN-KINDNEss REWARDED
When Mr.. Albert Morgan kept the Pavilion,
at Gloucester, several years ago, one of his
gnests was an Engiishman named Erskne.-
lie was attacked with the small pox, and
while all other attendants deserted him, Mr..
Morgan mnistered faithfully to his wants till
he recovered. A day or two ago, we learn,
the British Consul communicated to Mr.Mor-
gan the intelligence that Mr.. Erskine had
deceased and left him by will the sum of
$I25,000. This is n munficent instance of
English gratitude, and the recipient of the
good fortune is quite worthy of II. We

ISpEPEsDEEcE.-We like Independence
We like to hear man express his honest
convictions on any and every subject on
which he may have occasion to speak. A
man who is n mere echo Of some lending
poltician-some distinguished divine, or
some shrewd linancier-whose religious SEN
timrnts are the sentiments of his church-his
political views II fac simile Of his party organ
who listens with open mouth and glarng
eyes to those whom accident has elevated,
pecuniarily, a little above himself, not daring
to utter an opinion which does not fully
coincide with that coming from such source,
may find appropriate spheres in this world;
but the moral and intellectual condition Of
the community will not be greatly improved
by any thing he dares to do or say.

THE NEBRAsKA-KANsAsB BnL.-The New
York Journal Of Commerce estimates that
100 members are already elected to Congress
(or to be elected from the South,) opposed
to the repeal of the Nebraska bill, and but 8
more are needed to make a majority against
touching it. We quote:
ut is not impossible, nor very improbable,
that this number will be found, (among the
1874 members not included in the above cal
cuationD will oppose repeal, although some
of them voted against the bill on its passage.
In other words, it is by no means certain that
bill to repeal the Nebraska law can pass the
house. But if il should, il will be defeated
by large majority in the Senate. And be-
fore n new Congress is elected Nebraska will
probably be knocking for admission into the
Union as State"

REMARKABLE BALLOON AscEHsToN.-Wm
ID. Banmistle, of Adrn city, Michigan, as.
cended, recently in balloon, from that place,
at lOi in the morning, and descended in
Clarion county, Pennsylvania, at 2i in the
afternoon, making the computed distance OF
three hundred and fifty miles in the extraor.
dinary short time Of four hours. This is his
second trip, and an experimental one with a
balloon of Unusually large size. 1t is 80 feet
in diameter, contains over six hundred yards
of silk, and is capable of holding nineteen
thousand cubic feet ofgas.
After his ascent to the distance of three
miles and half the @ronaut struck the
eastern current of air, which, he says, is con-
tinually blowing in the one direction. 1t car
ried him south of the lakes, through Central
Ohio. His intention was not to descend until
dark, as he was above the rain clouds in a
clear upper sky, but the excessive cold to
which he was exposed brought on the accus.
toned drowsy sensation, which prevented him
from properly managing his balloon. He was
in that sleepy state when his "craft" anchored
in tree in Red Hook, having descended in
consequence of the evaporation Of gas. The
cold was so severe that his feet were COM
pletely frozen.
