President Buchanan soctgde for the suppression
rghted Africa may in charity, be accepted sincere;
but that the Of the traffic should be
reokoned Of The chief sources Of annoy the
American people,, and be alleged as reason tor the
QUESTION of Cuba by the United States is nothing but
huge piece az political hypocrisy far too transparent to
deude any but the most wfuly blind Such subterfuge
is unworthy Of great nation. 1t has the additional de-
meri: ef being gratuitous. II has been, for
at least quarter of century, settled point Of
the policy of the federal government TO acquire Cuba
Nay the very period for the consummaton Of this
was foicbly dweit upon, in 1923, by Mr.. Adams then
Secretary Of state at Washington in despatch which he
addressed to Mr Nelson the American envoy at Madrid
and which contained the following remarkable passage
Such indeed between the interests Of that island and Of
a ea me y n s na
time and even verens to maturity that in looking
half century Is scarcely possible 70 resls. he
dspensabe to the continuance and integrity OF the Union
We upon this side of the Atlantic may be permitted to
question whether tho Union would nos be quite safe
without Cnba as with il. AT the same time We may ad
init that from American point OF view the possession
OF that island would be Of importance the United
States for II commands tue great highway which modern
has increasing tendency traverse n make
its shortest transit the East The President recapitu
ates the political reasons which would render the acqu
siton OF Cuba desirable, and they have been submitted
every possible occasion 10 Span France and England.
In le4S Mr. Buchanan, as Secretary of State,
went so far as TO act upon them and autho-
rise Mr. Sanders, the American Envoy at M.
drid, TO make Spain bona fde offer for it, fixing
maximum price which the President OF the republic was
prepared to give at hundred millions of dollars, or
f2OO00oO0 sterling In the long correspondence, too
between the United States France and England respecting
triparte convention, having for its object guarantee
10 SPAN Inc possession OF Cuba and prevent from fall
ing INTO the hands of any European Power the Interior
policy of the federal republic in relation to the Island
was not disguised any than when Mr. Buchanan,
party TO the memorable Ostend Conference signed the
pro1gate manifesto which emanated from TO the effect
that Cuba must be acquired by America aud if not by
fair means then by force. Instead of again insisting
upon a multitude OF petty grievances which but
50 many rreexts snugly slowed away for when the
opportunity may present itself for orcble seizure Of the
island. II would have hecn only honest and by far
.snanse 10 declare that, in his Judgment the time
had arrived 10 renew negotiations with Spain for its acqu
sion By purchase and for carrying out in relation 1t
what had long been the fixed policy Of the federal
government.
The European Powers must understand that this is the
fact Two only OF them-of except Spain-have
any real interest in the ISSUE namely France and England
and these have recorded 1t To be their fixed deter
mina;ion not TO allow America TO annex Cuba. In
February, 1852 Lord John Russell, addressing
Mr.. CHAMPION on the subject of the rejection
by the federal government OF the proposition TO con-
ciude the ripartite convention already alluded to, said
that while fully admitting the right Of the United States
to reject the proposal that made by Lord Mamesbury
and N. de rurgo Great Britain must at her
entire liberty, and upon any occasion that may call
be free to act either sngy in conjunction with other
Powers, as 10 the way seen fit Hence, whenever
the policy Of America with regard 10 Cuba begins to
substantial form, may expect a political
complication Of ordinary kind, which it will be well
10 WATCH lest it embroi transatlantic war.
No doubt, We're Cuba 10 pass into tho possession
OF the United States the slave trade would be at once
abolished, and this would be much gained to humanity
The Cubans themselves have everything acquire by the
transfer for s scarcely possible people be
oppressed and overaxed than they by the Of
Spanish corruption. The would be at least well
of under their American masters and that most awful
system of immigration which augments their numbers
would probably experience the fate the traffic
negroes. That the Of the island would be i'm.
mensely ncreasea admits OF doubt; there be
difference of opinion that the position OF the United
States maritime nation, would be greatly improved.
What IS there to set against these probabilities
