THE ANT1-sLAvERY BUGLE.


The Cuban egg is 10 be matched in 1850, and in
this wise, according to the Washington correspond
en-, of the Journal Of Commerce
"Tbe State Rights men of the South will, it is
said, generally oppose the Thirty Millions Cuban
bill, and 80 for Mr.. Taylor's project Of a bill nu-
thorizing the President to buy Cuba, If he can do
so at the sum of $3.50, 000. 600. and consummate the
purchase 10y the annexation Of Cuba, and allowing
1t four Representatives ia Congress. The scheme
may, perhaps, be adopted 10y the President IN pref
erenco to his own. if it C n be carried through
Congress. Whether Congress will 20 so far with
the matter, is not certain but it is understood
that if they DO, they will give the Democracy a
fresh impulse, and perhaps cement it together 10y
a new and strong bond. Tho Dem jcracy will raj
lY for n President at the next election ' no will lie
most likely to act on the power thus invested IN
him and buy Cuba. No one suppOsos that be can
buy it, but the man who will promise to buy II,
will carry with him the majority of numbers"
1t is a tact that Mr.. 5%purgeon has recently re-
ceived a worry liberal offer from persons in this
country to come here and preach. I'VE have seen
a private letter from him, however," says the New
York Post, (Which authorizes us TO say that
though it is likely he will soon visit America he
will do so without any pecuniary engagement or
inducement of the kind mentioned in the above
letter or Of any other sort whatever. lie will vis'
1t America, ii he visit it at all, as an Independent
preacher, and whatever means he may take to
raise money for the building OF his new chapel
will be taken after he shall have reached this
city"
