TRE ADMINIsTRATLoN-cuRA.

The question is frequently ssked, what viii
be the policy OF the ADMIN stTaliOn in refe-eCce to
the scq Iisitiol Of Cuba. And when We consi5 .
or the importance OF this question and the great
interests involved in its solution, it is matter of
no surprise that it should be at this time -gsgiL
the MAD of the Southern people Cuba; an is.
land rich and Productive; adapted to slave labor ;
contiguous TO our Institutions; grooming uuder the
yoke OF foreign tyranny; ard clothed by nature
wi matchess beauty, sh uld be tbs object of con-
Germ of every Southern patriot who loves the ia.
sututiOns Of the South and has at least her best IL
t rest aud prosperity. We do rot profess to know
he policy Of the administration in regard to it, nor
do eel authorized to say that il will ref sct the
ntIments Of q "a &c portion Of the American PEG
pie, should it IN Its wisdom and in view of our iu-
ture greatness, acquire the possession OF that veal
tny island by 90 honorable purchase. Her people
are Ignorant aid crushed by the heel OF oppres
sion, and should we desire to relieve them from the
vulture grasp Ct Spain, and unite tkeis terIitory
to ours, from motives springing from the biybest
impulses OF patriotism, and aims worthy Of chris
tiau eople we could not be charged with lust OF
territorial as gsDdzement or purposes of rspine or
vi-lslce but SIMPLY dischsrgug cry ing duty, and
perform the part OF the good Samaritan.
Regardless Of considerations of public policy,
there are many reasons why the Southern pc pie
anticipating the possible Developments of the III
ture and anxious TO make provision against dis.
tant danger, should rejlice over the purchase Of
Cubs as tie surest pTecaunOn sgsiust the insidous
schemes Of hostile powers and as the best exec /
cut for maintaining he independence and equality
of tie South in tue confederscy. SILL many will
be found WHO will oppose it from principls alone,
and the honest conviction that The acquisition Of
territory dmiuishes rather than Increases cur
strength. The whole however, will not grow
weak by the i crease Of its parts but like the tall
OSk will strike lis roots deeper into the soil and
cling with acOser grasp as its broad arms are
stretched out.
We should rejoice over the acquisition eff Cuba,
ard should Grra Britain and France mediate the
scheme If ALTERNATING it, we believe the policy OF
the administration from its regard to our peculiar
institutions, would he to defeat the plot and shield
