FINANcIER1NG IN New YoRK.--The
Herald, ofNew York, contains an adver-
tisement, Of which the following is copy !:
merchants embarrassed, in want of
means, or willing TO suspend with means,
by tinanciering, can hear OF a party who
has just carried parties through to the
amount Of $4,000 without prejudice.
''Address los, Herald office. Refer
ence given"
'Willing 10 suspend with means by f.
nancisring''-what gentle phrase (says
the Baltimore American) for cheating
creditors and pocketing others money.
CHAIN GANG IN GRANADA.-We see
it stated in the newspapers that several
hundred natives of Central America. who
were arrested at Granada for aiding Wal.
ker and his gang, have been organized
into chain gang at that place, and forced
to clear away the ruins for the purpose of
rebuilding the city.

Louisiana, and sold his reluctant country,
men at the rate of about EGO head. The
Americans profess to dread the contag gion
Of liberty, ard declare that the proximity
of free blacks is to be avoided as the
plague by the model republic. A mos'
humilialing confession, if true, yet what is
the remedy proposed by Themselves fol
this danger? The security of the Unit.
ed States, according to these views, is to
be found in advancing their frontier, and
placing themselves nearer to Hayti,
Jamaica, and other free islands. than they
now are in Cuba. The Minister nc
doubt feels that America can afford to
bide her time, and let the Spaniards play
her game for her. There is little cause
to fear that Spain will, by doing justice to
her white colonists, aud conferring the
rights offreemen on her colored subjects.
secure to herself the possession of Cuba.
The chances are much, rather, that she
will drive one or both parties into open
revolt. Spain may also give the United
States such provocation as to otford SUBJ
stantial grounds for a war. If not, the
folly and perversity Of Spanish officials
will continue the succession Of vexatious
offences they are perpetually giving the
American citizens, until tho accumula-
ton is sufficient to justify and entitle the
Republic to demand proportionate indem-
nifty. When Castilian stubbornness shall
have refused that, then the object Of her
enemy will be attained, and Cuba seized as
a a"material guarantee" will pass away
forever from the dominion of the mother
country. Loud and protracied cheering.
The mayor proposed a vote OF thanks
TO Mr.. Dodson. for his very interesting
lecture, which was most cordially respond.

TIE IMMORAL.
The undersigned citisens Of the United SLAtes
ard electors Of the State of Connecticut respect
fully offer to your Excellency this their memorial
The fundamen tai principle Of tho Constitution OF
is, that the people shall make their own laws and
elect their own rulers. We see with grief. II not
with sstonish meut, that Gov. Walker Of Kansas
openly represents and proclaimB, that the Prest.
dent Of the United States Is employing through
him (WAiksr) IN army, one purpose Of which Is TO
force the people OF Kansas to obey laws not their
own, nor of the United States, but laws which II
never IN AIDE and rulers they never elected.
We represent, therefore, that by the foregoing
your Excelency is openly held up and prociai med,
TO the great derogntion OF our national character
