In calling the yeas and nay. on the npprop ia
ton ~ the Wesleyn Seminary, Mr.. Talbot OF East
Machias, rose and said, "Mr. Speaker, l voted
for t1at bill in Committee and expected to vots
for it here, but after hearing tho remarks of the
gentlemen from Portland (Mr. Dow shall vots
No."
The above has been the rounds Of about all the
bunker papers in the State, and more damag ;
ing thing could hardly have been done for Mr..
Talbot. Mr. T. voted right in Committee-just
as he thought was duty. In the House when tho
matter comes up, he votes contrary to his judge
ment and his conscience; and why : forsooth, Mr.
Dow who thinks as he does on the merits Of tho
bill. has not 10 his estimation behaved in all things
to square with his ideas of parliamentary dccorum,
therefore he and Mr.. Dow can't vote alike. How
frivolous an excuse how uncertain legislator, how
bclittling to him as man of integrity Of purpose,
and how poorly he represents his town. or the dig
nifty and Straightforward character of a mas.
We hope there not many more such repre- :
sentatives at Augusta. Inssssd Of ''doing right
though the heavens fall" Mr. Talbot will not do
right because somebody will bear him company If
he does for whom he has dislike!

The new Cuban Movement,

Under cut Of flag bearing single star the New
York San Of the 18th publishes the following article
TIE FLAG OF FREE CUBA-We display once more
In our columns the emblem OF Cuban liberty--the
emblem under which her patriot Sons are perhaps at
this moment startling the ears OF their oppressors
with the cry which rang through the thirteen colonies
In the glorious days Of our Revolution GfUe ~
We seek 70 raise no idle excitement. We have good
reason for the belief that II the flame Of revolt has not
already been kinded in the Island Of Cuba i VIII 6e
before the end OF this week. The Cubans have, BY
many bitter dsappointments, realized the truth oil the
poets lines, that
Who would BE- FREQ
Them.eives strike the blow. .
Therefore, ever since their abandonment by Qult-
man and Others their betrayal by professed fendsin
the United States, and the squandering OF the re-
sources Of revolution which they had collected they
have devoted themselves to new plan in which the
initiative and the first effort for freedom shouId be
ciusiueiy Cuban. Upon this basis they have organ
lied patriot clubs throughout the Island, and the
members count by Thousands. Their co-patriots in
the United States have aided all their plans and will
share with them 10 the dangers and the glory Of the
struggle for Cuban rights.
All the stories set afloat about the organization Of
American expeditions, are wide of the truth. This
last is pure Cuban movement. The first Of this
month was the time fixed by the Gibbs throughout
the Island for general rising; and, unless their plot
has been discovered, or some untoward event has
happened, they are now in arms against their OPP
pressors.
The New York Convention Of Cuban patriots
small but determined band--sailed their danger
mission 10 the latter part Of March. II the patri
OTIS 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 obligs
ton to stand by the cause until victory crowns their
effort, or the last man has fallen. Most Of the Gu
bans who have gone from New York, are young men
many of them sons Of the leading men Of the Island
and all fred with the determination to free thei!
native soil, or die in the attempt. They go forti
taking their lives in their hands.
The Cubans will now prove the sincerity Of th'
loud-spoken American sympathizers. They strikt
for their own liberties Viii our Government see Il
it that they have fair play? Will Mr.. Buchanan
stand up to his pledges and profess ed policy? Viii
Senator Brown and Tammany Hall back their brave
words by deeds Of practical sympathy? The mex
steamer from Havana may bring Us stirring news
in the meantime let those who have talked Cuba
prepare to do something to strengthen the hands o

The North Louisiana Baptist of the 18th says:
Since the early part of last week, it has been warm
andpleasant, just sung the season. On Sunday very

like raining more very soon. 1t is now ascertained
that the rosts of last week did little HARM and
all apprehensions Of severe frost, this spring, may
now be dismissed.
The Claiborne Advocate Of the 18th says:
The weather here since our last issue has been
warm, pleasant and spring like. Vegetation is in
rapid state of progression, every shrub and plant j.
putting on the rich and beautiful garments of thu
season, the farmer looks cheerful and happy under
the bright prospects Of crops now before him, and al
nature around us wears cheerful smile.
From the Lake Providence Herald of Saturday las
we extract the following:
We have never known more clustering, rainy and
changeable spring than the present has proved thus
far. Weeks of almost incessant rain to prolong the
planting of crops, sudden alterations of heat and
cold to check up the growth of what had already been
minds of our people, lest the levees should be so
washed and weakened by the dashed waves to
them to break in certain places and the destruc
tive scenes Of the past in parsh-al these have
characterised the ushering in and progress of the
present spring-a season which we trust may prove
more moderate and lamblike in its elimination and
out going,
A ride through some Of the finest portions of oul
