LOUIS NAPoLEoN's POSITION IN TIE AFFAIR.
ia TO be remarked in this address that the French
aror Is not connected with the projected movement
but that hat Idea s, nferentialIy, excluded Colonel
Ashbosh stating Vat the legion To be formed under
the auspices Of the sasa nian government. We know
too, that the Paris C6nstutioa explicitly centralized

BY the Imperial sancton saying that tho French govern
ment had nothing to do with the proceeds or attempts
Of those refugees has also been stated that Sosauths
negotiations were with Prince Napoleon, not with the
Emperor. We give the contradictions and statements for
what they worth leaving our readers to Judge be-
tween them.
At all events, the peace puts end 10 the proceedings
Of the Hungarian leaders, and there the project falls the
ground.

in Italy. Francis Joseph declared IL to be war Of the
revolutionary party and the Pope and bis organs also
proclaimed as . seditious and nndel movement Doubt

Hungarian revolution did not arise He had high pru.

| his constitutional regulation. That body rep.
resents the people of the United States, as the
constituents of a common National Union, in
contradistinction from the Senate, which repre-
sents the States in Federal capacity. The
members of the House of Representatives have
no connection with the State Legislature. OF
with any other Department of the State Gov
eminent. 1t is true that their election is con.
Quoted under the State authorities, but their
business is to represent the people en- masse,
and not the States. The Senate is differently
constituted. 1t is composed of the representa-
tives of State sovereignties, without the slight
est reference to the number of people embraced
within them. The Senators are elected by the
solemn act of the State Legislatures.
In the election of members of the House Of
Representatives by the people at the polls,
numerous cases of dubious result must neces-
sarily occur, owing to the great numbers of the
electors, the abecence of sufficient legal respon-
sibility on the part of the judges of the polls,
and the real difficulty of preventing fraudulent
voting. The House Of Representatives is the
The State Governments have nothing to do
with them and public opinion cheerfully ac-
quiesces in the constitutional regulation which
refers them to the House for decision. But in
the case of Senators, every friend of State rights
will watch with jealousy cases of disputed cleo
ton. Senators are chosen by the State, not by
the people of the State. They represent it, in
some sense, as Ambassadors to foreign Court !;
and while we viii not undertake to question the
propriety of the constitutional regulation which
vests in the Senate the right to determine the
validity of the election Of its members, we in
sist that the greatest caution and delicacy
should be observed in supervising the acts of
the States.
The majority of the Senate, in the case of the
Indiana contested case, while protesting the
most ultra State Rights doctrines have shown
none of this delicacy. 1t has rudely set aside
the authority of the State, in violation of its
own precedent at the last session of Congress.
We but utter the common opinion of all dispas-
sionate men when we say that the admission of
Bright and Fitch to seats in the Senate, imme-
diately after the rejection Of Mr.. Harlan, has
been accomplished by the majority in that body
on grounds of the lowest and most disreputable
party exigency, regardless of the rights of Indi-
ana, and of the honor and dignity of that body.
A party which has thus signalized its con-
tempt for the popular will, and for the obliga-

from abiding to topic which must always be

SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN CUBA.

We are indebted to Mr.. Benjamin for the in
formation, that Slavery has no longer any legal
existence in Cuba. He says:
I" The continued supply of labor in Cuba by
natural increase is impossible. 1t is well-au-
thenticated fact, that its whole laboring popu-
lation is exhausted in single generation. Hor-
rible as is the contemplation of such fact, the
evidence in support of it is irresistible. None
of the writer's on the population of Cuba fix the
number of its creole Gid est, native) negroes
outside of Havana at more than ten per cent,
whilst a recent authority on the island, per-
fectly competent to Judge, fixes it at emily FIVE
per cent. We have, then, the fact that ninety
to ninety-fve per cent. of the slaves engaged
in agriculture were imported Africans"
Now, Mr.. Benjamin is aware, that about the
year 1920, Spain entered into treaty with
England, by which she consented to the aboli-
ton of the slave trade, and agreed that all
slaves imported thereafter should be free. A
large portion of the negroes who are still held
in servitude are recognised as coming under
the provisions of this treaty, and are styled
emancipados, if we are correctly informed !;
but, according to Mr.. Benjamin, all the negroes
on the island must be free for he admits that
the whole negro population is consumed in one
generation, which one of his authorities says
is but seven years; but supposing it to be
twenty, there could not be negro living who
was slave in 1920. He also states that "none
o fthe Oriters on the population Of Cuba fla the
number Of ats creole I'D est, ndtiUe) negroes out
side of Harana at more than ten per cent, sohile
recent authority on the island, competent to
Judge, fires at only Jfre per cent" Mr.. Benja-
min admits, then, that only five per cent. of the
slaves in Cuba, or at most, ten per cent, are
native born and that the remaining ninety or
| ninety-6ve per cent. are free under the treaty
with England. The FIVE per cent, or, at most,
ten per cent. of slaves who were born on the
island, must in the nature of things, in great
part, be the children of the Africans imported
since 1920, and hence they, too, are entitled to
Freedom so that only an infnitesimal frac-
ton of the native negroes can be supposed to
have descended from the negro slaves on the
island before the treaty. Cuba, in word, is
free island, by the laws of Spain, Mr.. Benja-
min being the authority.
| The proposition to annex Cuba to the United
States is therefore proposition to re-enslave
the free inhabitants of that island. Are the
American people ready for this step? We
think not and so far from it, we think that
majority of the American people, should the
| island be annexed to the Union, will insist on
fulflment of the conditions of the treaty.
