States Of Mexico will be subdued to the uses
of slavery, when, in the fullness of time they
shall be released from the impotent grasp Of
the Central Government. The possession of
New Mexico is indeed splendid conquest for
the Pro-Slavery party. They lost Kansas by
the operation of the non-intervention princi-
pie; but under the same policy they have Sc
cured ample indemnity in quarter where,
instead of being sickly exotic, slavery will
take root in congenial soil, and flourish of its

Revolt I'm Cuba.

The following is the article which, in the
New York Sun, has created the belief in the
public mind that the next arrival from Cuba
will bring intelligence of general revolt
against the Spanish authorities;
eve seek to raise no idle excitement
We have good reason for the belief that if the
flames of revolt has not already kindled in the
island of Cuba it will be before the end of this
week. The Cubans have, by many bitter dis
appointments, realized the truth of the poets
lines, that .aana. .aa
"Who would be free
Themselves must strike the blow"
Therefore, ever since their abandonment
by Quitman and others, their betrayal by
protested friends in the United States, and the
squandering of the resources of the revolution
which they had collected, they have devoted
themselves to new plan, in which the initia
tive and the first effort for freedom should be
exclusively Cuban. Upon this basis they
have organized patriot clubs throughout the
island, and the members count by thousands.
Their copatriots in the United States have
aided all their plans, and will share with them
in the dangers and the glory Of the struggle
for Cuban rights. -a .r -. .... -
GAN the stories set afoat about the organ
ization of American expeditions are wide of
the truth. This last is a pure Cuban move-1
ment. The first of this month was the time
fixed by the clubs throughout the island for
general rising; and, unless their plot has been
discovered, or some untoward event has hap
pened, they. are now in arms against their
oppressors. @fT ' ,

triots-a small but determined band-sailed
on their dangerous mission in the latter part
of March. If the patriots in the island had
not already risen on the day fixed, the landing
of the New. York Convention would be the
signal for revolt Arms and ammunition have
been provided, and all are bound by solemn
obligation to stand by the cause until victory
crowns their efforts, or the last man has fall

from New York are young men; many Of

A disgraceful row occurred in the House
of the New York Legislature on Monday
Mr.. Rutherford, Democratic member, of
New York, being intoxicated and applying the
most insulting epithets to the Speaker and the
House. The Speaker had him arrested and
removed. Several members explained that

To their brethren in other towns in Fillmore
County, the Republicans of Chatield send
greeting in the laconic words of Perry, "We
have met the enemy and they are ours :"
Never was an election more holly contested
The Democracy were fighting to sustain the
Decision of Judge Wilson, and to prove to the
world that they had as many voters in Chat
field as the count last fall indicated but it was
no go! Pot houses and poor houses, could
not, ransack them as they did, furnish the
needful compliment of men, and when the
votes were counted there is shown falling off
of Democratic majority since last fall of
EIGHTY votes.
In another article the Republican remarks
further:
The vote between Foote [108] and Bemis
[142l shows the relative strength of the two
parties in Chatfeld Township, it being about
81 majority for the Democracy. 1t will be
remembered by our readers, that their pre-
tended majority last fall was from 100 to a.
Where the other 80 Democratic voters were
on Tuesday last, is question more easily
| asked than answered. The Democracy could
not, on Tuesday. When asked, their answer
invariably was, Gone to Pixies Peak.
In all Fillmore County for members of the
County Board of Supervisors the result stands,

The Republican also has the following per-
tinent suggestion:
Wonder if the parties holding certificates
of election from H. d. Bristol, to the Legisla-
ture, in obedience to Democratic Supreme
Court mandamus writ, will, after the verdict
of Chatfield in the matter on Tuesday last,

Minnesota Town Elections.

The township election in Chatfeld, Fillmore
County, had an extra interest from the efforts
of both parties to sustain their respective po-
sitions in regard to the tampering with the
ballot box by the Democracy at the last fall
election for the Legislature. 1t will be recol-
lected, that it was pretty well proved by cir
cumstantial evidence that Republican ballots
had been distracted from the box and Demo
cratic ballots substituted probably, as it was
thought, while the ballot-box was deposited
by the Democratic judges in the U. S. Land

A Dear Little Baby.

There is nothing in this beautiful worl'
so lovely as dear litlle baby. 80 says
fond mother, as she clasps her OWL
sweet darling TO her bosom. So says
fond father, as he enters from his daily
toll, and a beloved infant creePs forth t(

signed 10 the ''breathless darkness OF tht
narrow grave" their only child.
How interesting to watch the growing
intelligence of the darling little one !! he
first catches a smile from off the mother
counlenance. and presently you are sar
prised to learn that the dear little nesting
can laugh out loud. Observe the frs
lisping words; the lids move, sounds are
audible and then comes mann, mamma.
This is soon followed by 'PdpG,' his own
name, and "Jaby," as he is frequently
called. How charming the first song as
hejoins in the chorus with mamma and
sings himself to sleep 4!
Baby slumber ! Beauty's bud of inno-
cence Is there anything half so lovely
as darling, sleeping baby ! Catch the
dew from off his moisiened breath. On
either side Of thai cherub face, lie uplurn-
ed the little hand.-angel's wings ! AT
the slightest noise the baby awakes. The
rested eyes, so bright, ,are full of meaning.

tain is purity. The little one now man

And hers was Patience Warner.

Her cheeks were flushed a rosy red,

Flew round and round The stocking.
While, as lor Joshua, bashful youth,
His words grew few ard fewer
Though all the time, 10 tell the truth,
His chair edged nearer 10 her.
Meantime her ball yarn gave out,
She knit so fast and steady
And he must give his aid, nc doubt,
To get another ready.
