which Mr., Buchanan has so cordially adop.
ted This circular was the joint production
Of Mese.s Bacha nan, Mason and Soaie, but
there can be little doubt that the paternity
belongs TO the torner After stating at
length the advantages that would accrue %
the United States from the purchase, and
to Spain from the sale Of Cuba, this pre-.
cinus document says,-"Hat ii Spain, dead
% the voice Of her own interest, and aetas-
ted by Stubborn pride and a false sense Of
honor, should refuse to cell Cuba to the
United States, then the question will arise.

can Government, under such circumstances
After We shall have offer
ed Span Praee tor Cuba Ter beyond It's
present value and this shall have been re-
fused, il will then be time 10 consider the
question, Does Cuba ia the possession Of
Spain seriously endanger our internal
peace and the existence Of our cherished
Union, Should this question be answered
in the Affirmative. then BY every law hu-

power. Under such cireum-
stances we ought neither to count the cost

men may doubt the justice of urging on a

may question the policy OF depending millions
and shedding the blood OF thousands for
such purpose, but James Buchanan says,
