Tue CUBA MovExEST.-DemOcratic State Conven-
tons have recently been held in the following
States Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Connecticut. Mich.
gan, New Hampshire and Kentucky. In evrey one
Of them resolutions passed favorable to the nc
QUESTION Of Cuba. The Opposition are against II, but
are afraid to openly avow their hostility. The Dem.
Ocra,c party has always favored the acquisition oi
territory, and to her We are indebted for oil we have
acquired. The purchase Of Louisiana, the annexa-
ton Of Texas, the purchase Of the very State We
are now living In, the Opposition took decided
grounds against, but the Democracy took the re.
spOusibity, acquired them, and all parties now
wish TO claim the credit due exclusively to the De.
mocracy.
