From the Charleston Mercury
Senator Brown and Cuba.

We have had occasion to speak OF Cuba
at the North, and the aspect in which il is
brought forward by the democratic presses.
We have ventured TO express the opinion that
the proposition in Congress TO purchase Cuba
was an issue brought forward To divert atten-
ton from the great sectional issues which
threaten the subsection OF the South and the
dissolution of the Union; and by Offering to
the people of the Union a new matter for
party organization, and save the democratic
party, which IL doomed TO overthrow on the
old matters of party controversy. We did
not express this opinion without due con-
sideraiion; fol-, supported rs the proposition 60
purchase Cuba was by nearly the whole South
in Washington, all Prescriptions ought 20 be
in favor OF the proposition. But facts, /;
appeared TO us, were too plain snd stubborn
TO leave much doubt upon the subject On
the one hand, there stood Spain. supported
by England and France, in her hold on Cuba
defiant and indignant at the proposition. On
the other hand, there stood the great majority
party ia Congress the abolitionists or black
epublicans-equally opposed 10 il. II could
not have passed, at the last session OF Con-
gress. the House of Representatives: aud II
will be still more desperate in the next both
in the House Of Representatives and the
Senate where Increased abolition msioFiIies
will exist. This Increased abolition majority
has ariseh 10 carry out the sectional policy OF
excluding slavery from our territories. How
absurd l. Il 10 sappose that this majority will
consent To the paFehase Of territory 10 ex-
tend slavery. Senator Brown openly declares
that his sole ohieet, aud the object OF the
South, 10 sesking The acquisition Of Cuba, Is
90 extend and support slavery. We have no
doubt thai be has stated the truth. II Caha
j. sought 20 be = free state. or 10 destroy
slavery In the border States. Il will be most

The amount of unfinished business left
by Che last Congress affords some slight indi-z
cation of the extent of the delinquency OF
that body. Congress, at its late session.
says the National LaielIigencer. .'passed thirty
two acts and nine joint resolutions of pub
lie character, and sixty acts and SIX resolu-
tions relating to private claims. Each House
left on its calendar large mass of unfinished
business and considerable amount in the
hands of committees ready TO be reported
whenever the rules permitted. Amongst the
subjects lying over in the Senate, there was
one hundred and fifty bills of public nature.
and more than one hundred private bills. In
the House there were left on the calendar up
wards of sixty public bills and over two hum
dred private bills All these bills died with
the Congress itself, and can only be resusci-
tated through the standing committees upon
new presentation of each case" When the
country reflects that the last Congress was
Democratic one. and that all this formidable
mass OF business was sacrificed wantonly by
empty discussions on the scandalous Thirty
million bill and other kindred projects, it
may catch at least faint inkling of the as
founding faithlessness and incompetency Of
the party now in power, and of the urgent
public necessity of hurting it from power at
the earliest possible moment. Our convic-
ton is, however, that this country possess
considerably more than a faint inkling of
this already.-LOu. Journal.

Details of Crime.
From the New York Observer.

Must the press print all the disgusting and
corrupting details of crime and criminal
trials? That our best daily papers reek witt
foul reports that no decent man will read
aloud to his wife and daughters, is evidence
that the conductors of our daily journals
men of taste, refinement, and religious prin.
ciples, believe it TO be right and expedient
thus to spread the lOathSUme revelations Of
vice before the whole community.
We protest against the practice and the
principle. The pressure on the press appar.
entity compelling the daily publication Of all
The nelcs we fully comprehend and appreciate
Perhaps under the same pressure, our judg-
ment and conscience would give way, and
we might be left or led TO do the same thing
1t is said daily paper must reflect the times
we live in-readers will know what is going
on. and if we do not tell them, other papers
will. and ours will be behind the times. Tint
is the point If it is true that the details OF
crime are depraving, no plea of self-inteFest
will justify man in spreading them before
the world. If the practice is injurious, that is
the end of the argument. No man is doing
right when he is doing wrong. We may not
do evil when good is TO come oi il Good
men will feel the force of this, and think
of it.
Nor is il necessary to sustain the reputa-
ton OF Press for enterprise and ability, that
IL should fill its pages with the records of dis
gushing vice. There are minds and hearts to
be reached in the city and country that re-
joice in secular daily newspaper in which
there is ReUer lipe that may not be read aloud
in the domestic and social circle and com
mented upon freely by father, mother, daugh-
ter and friend
This is a subject Of vital interest and i'm
portance. The work of corruption is power
fully aided by the process OF reporting now
so common and universal, that one can hard
ly get his coffee in the morning without being
sickened by staring capitals announcing de-
tails of sin and shame. There is a remedy
and it ought to be applied.

STATE EXECUTIVE CoMMIrrE1
WEDNESDAY, APRIL q, 1859.
The Louisville Journal.

1t suits the purposes of Southern Demo
cratic politicians, just now, to hold up the
Louisville Journal as unsound upon the slave
ry question, and desiring union with the
Black Republican party. Mr.. MAGoFFIN, in a
recent speech followed the bad example which
had been set him. and INDUCED in similar re-
Elections upon the Journal, On the 22nd
inst. the Journal responded to him as fol.
lows
A WORD OR Two TO Mr. MAGOFFrN.-W
have much respect for Mr.. Magoffn personally
We have always thought of him as a kind
hearted and honorable man. and we have rea-
son 70 believe that he has often spoken of the
Lou VIII Journal in terms which coming
from political opponent, could not but be
consider d fiattering. We wish, however, al
this early stage of his political canvass. 10
put him on bis guard against doing us any
injustice. as assuredly we shall endeavOr TO
do him none. We find the following given
p by our reporter as a portion of his remarks at
z Lebanon on Tuesday.
"He then quoted some passages from the
JCuTrsdt urging an union among all the con
servative elements North and South, which
Mr. VI. thought was a complete betrayal of
the most ultra abolition tendencies on the
part Of the Journal"
When Mr.. Magoffin sets himself at work to
/ make men think that the Louisville Jouryal' s
advocacy "a union of all the conservative
elements North and South" was ga complete
betray al of the most ultra abolition tendon
cies." he attempts, ignorantly we hope and
trust. the preparation of a foul wrong. We
have advocated and we do advocate. as he
ALLEGES. "a union Of all the conservative ele-
menis North and South" in one harmonious
party, but we should not suppose that any
man Of respectable attainments or respecta-
bic natural sense could possibly bring him
self Ia regard and treat this as 1.-The most ultra
aboiiIionism" or any sort of abolitionism.
When We have advocated a union of all the
conservative elements North and South. we
have been very particular or at least have
attempted To be so, to protect ourselves
against the possibility OF honest misconstruc
ton. We have said, that in speaking of con-
seTyatIve elements, we meant conservative ele-
ment- and no other sort of elements. We
have said,as plainly and directly as language
could Express it, that we would unite. and
that the other Southern opposers of the
Democracy would unite, with no man or men
anywhere except upon basis of broad CON
servative. national principles, free, utterly
free, from everything like sectionalism. Now

lleges of a candidate for Governor or any,

ground of objection at all. 1t was not be-
cause ne voted for those measures, but be-
cause Col. READY was unfortunately so situa-
ted just at This time, that the Opposition could
not strike the Democracy without striking
him. He had voted with the Democrats
upoa the Kansas-Nebraska bill, he had voted
with the Democrats upon the Leoompton Con-
stitution, he had acted with the Democrats
upon the investigating committee, be had
made himself the apologist of BucHANAN's
administration and by many other actions OF

Mr.. READY was cited a. an authority for the
