That our slavery-ruled Administration
is intent on the acquisition of Cuba, is
known to all the world. That Spain re-
fuses to sell the Island at any price, is
equally well known. The President has
offered to pay her one hundred millions of
dollars, and would double the bid for the
sake of getting the Island with its negroes,
and the Democratic press has made it an
article of their creed, that if Spain won't
sell the Island, then we have a perft c
right to seize it by force; and doubtless
the fear of the intervention of England and
France is all that has restrained our
rulers from an attempt at forcible anneXa-
ton.
But the plan seems to be changing
Mr.. Stephens of Georgia, a prominent
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
has announced his plan, which is more in
accordance with the morality Of the be-
levers in piracy. He would give no such
price for the Island. In fact, would not
give anything for it! But, Mr.. Stephens
would nevertheless have it. The plan
proposed is, to repeal our neutrality laws,
and turn loose IL fillibusters, and when
they shall have murdered the white inhab-
%itants, we can then step in and annex the
negroes.
The Washington '~Republic," in com
menting upon the p%iiatical proposition,
says:
''There is something more detestable in
this proposition than highway robbery it.
self. 1t has all the meanness of stealthy,
skulking, petty larceny. 1t is not merely
a proposition TO take by force what we
covet, simply because the owner refuses to
sell it at one-huudTedth part of the value
that we ourselves have sci -upon it; but to
take it in a mean, skulking. and indirect
way. If the refusal of Spain to sell us
Cuba, at any price we may choose to offel
for it, would warrant us in acquiring pos.
session of it without her consent, it would
warrant us, in our national capacity, il
declaring a war for its conquest-a wal
which we should be constrained to conduc
on principles recognized by the laws oil
nations, and which, as a member of the
great family of nations, we should be un.
der some obligations to attempt to justify
to the civilized world. But Mr.. Stephens
has no idea of assuming any such respon
sibility. He would simply turn loose
band Of fillIbusters and cut-tlIroats, t.
ravage and murder, unrestrained by the
laws of legitimate warfare; and when they
had succeeded in subverting the Spanish
authority, step in and onnec the conquered
territory to the United States"

Kansas

The Convention for the formation Of a
Constitution of the Estate" Of Kansas, is
in session, and progressing finely. The
Republicans have a large majority. The
Convention has adopted the Constitution
of Ohio as the basis of theirs.
A Board of Commissioners were APP
pointed by the last Legislature, the Chair
man of which was a Democrat, to adj
the claims of all persons who had property
destroyed during the commotions Of the
years 1855-'56. This Board has made
an elaborate report to the Convention
They report the number of persons muir
dered as over ttOo hundr'eN
Four hundred and ~siXty-three persons
have been awarded the amount of their
claims against the Territory, amounting
to $4I2, 978. Ofthis the pro-slavery men
own, as awarded, $77, 1913; Free State
men, 1885 79. Destroyed by pro-slavery
men, $318,718 63; destroyed by Free
State men. 1859 40. Crops destroyed
amount to $37,349.6I. Seventy-eight
houses destroyed, three hundred ana SIN
ty-eight horses, and five hundred and
thirty three head Of cattle stolen.
The largest award is to Col. EIdriige.
It will be remembered hat the Col. had

in the West, which WAS battered down
with CANTON, by order of the Governor,
acting, as he claimed, through instructions
from Washington, IN the effort to drive
out the Free State men from the Territory

DislbOliCAl.

DR.. boy, of Kansas, on the night of the
25th of January, was seized by a mob and
carried into Missouri, where he was i'm
prisoned on a charge of enticing a slave.
called Dick, from his master. After be-
ing kept in Jail several months, he was
brought to trial before a p~ro-slavery judge
and a Jury of slave holders, when, not
withstanding all the efforts that could be
made, the jury refused to convict him
one or two holding out for a conviction
and was discharged.
He was continued in Jail until the next
term, and on the second trial, the Judge,
according to the Missouri "Democrat.'
by brow. beating and intimidating the
Jury, succeeded in securing a conviction,
and he has been sentenced to fVe gers IN
the Psnarnttary.
The Democrat" publishes a report OF
the trial, which it says is the most perfect
mockery of justice ever eI:acted III IA coun-
try pretending to be governed ~ law.-
There was no pretense that boy had ever
been ir Missouri at all. Thirteen of the
most prominent citizens of Lawrence
proved that he was in that city at the time
of the alleged o~tfense. The owner of the
slave testifisd that he gave John a free
pass to go into Kansas for three days. to
play the fiddle, and that he never returned,
until the mob caught him in Kansas, at
the Same time they seized the DIR. The
strongest evidence against MIN was, that
he had said that Dick, having come into
Kansas by the written consent of his mas
ter. was free; and Cor this crime he must
spend fire years IN the Penitentiary Of a

Those who are not in the habit of read
ing Southern papers can form no idea of
the fanaticism which prevails there on the
subject of Slavery. All other subjects

The Southern Literary Messenger
has hit upon the only mode of civilizing
the Indians. 1t is through the medium
of this "Divine institution Of course.
The messenger says:
alt is with the Indians as it has been
with all other nations. No people ever
became civilized except uPon tile basis Of
domestic Slavery. Il is the foundation
upon which all improvement has rested;
without it, all mankind 1DouLd be SGU0geS.
Ii is the sole hope of salvation for the In
dian; without it, he must perish; with 1t,
he can be saved; and if our Government,
instead of wasting millions of dollars in
the vain attempt to civillze wild and pow
ertI stricken savages, would purchase a
few thousand slaves, and divide them
among the different Indian tribes, they
would have taken one sensible and practi-
cal step towards he civilization OF the red
man."
Blessed institution! Only let the Gov
eminent buy a few THOUSAND slaves and
distribute them among the IndlSn tribes
and substitute q drivers lash TO-" the

r2lc NATURALIZATION Omcstiom.

The first letter of Gen. Cass, surren-
dering the the dcc,rine heretofore main
tanned by this Government on the subject
of the rights of natwlalized citizens, and
virtually denying them tie protection
granted to natives, caused such a univer-
sal burst of indignation that the Admins.
tration became alarmed. Cass wrote W.
other letters, trying to excuse and palli'
ate the doctrine Of the first; but each at
tempe only made the matter worse. The
papers in the interest of the President,
feeling themselves bound to sustain the
party, have labored assiduously TO recon
Gle the people to the monstrous doctrine.
And TO do so placed the naturalized citi-
zen IN the precise condition of the 'Jugi-
tire ~sla0e!!' This outrage increased the
storm, and leading Democrats at last be-
gan 10 protest.
Senator Pugh wrote a long letter, at
tempting to show that Cass could not have
meant what he said. Hickman, and 9TH
ers, denounced the doctrine as a base be-
trayal Of the rights Of citizenship. Gov.
Wise, Of Virginia, in II long and able. let
ter, denounced the doctrine as the most
monstrous and untenab'e ever announced.
And now. Judge Black, the Attorney
General of the United States, has just
published an opi"ion on the subject, in
which he boldly and maniully maintains
/ H. .:-I, e .,o,,l;,rl ,ifi1apc To fho
same protection from the Government,
which is accorded to the native born
taking, in its fullest extent, the Republi-
can view of the subject.
Whatever his motive may be-and al
though it is probably to save, If possible,
the Democracy from the defeat which
awaited lhem-his position is a sound one,
and will be sustained by the people. The
Administration will evidently be com
PEELED to back down. But in what a hui
initiating position will it place those who
have been racking their brains for plausi
BILE sophistries by which to justify the
ground assumed by Gen. Cass? We don
know a single Democrat in Pomeroy wht
has not fully committed himself to thu
Cass letter. We hope they will now have
a good time in taking the other track
We predict that those who, for the las
month, on every street c)rner, have ar
gued the immaculate Democracy of thu
Cass letters, will, before another month
take the exact opposite position! We pu
this prediction on record, and ask our read
els to take note of its literal ful6llment. w,

July 9Th. 1853.


DEAR StR:-I wrote you some weeks
ago, stating that the wagon road from
this place to the Mississippi would soon
be completed and hat a line of stages
would be run from Bayfield, TO st. Paul.
| now have the pler sure Of stating that
u road Is so far completed that "A weekly
line Of stages are running between this
place and st. Paul. They have already
made several round trips in good time
From st. Paul, a regular line is rApning
to Breckenridge, on Red River ofNthe
North. thus making a continuous Hue
from Bayfield,, on the western end of Lake
Superior, via st. Paul, 10 Red River of the
North, traversing i'll the route, Northern
Wisconsin, Central Minnesota, and pene-
trating the rich plains of Dacotah Terri
tory.
From Breckenridge, passengers can
take steamboat to Pembina, and to Lake
Winnipeg, in Canada West. This route
is not only the most expeditions, but is
the pleasantest, and affords greater advan-
tages for obtaining a correct knowledge oil
the character of the country than any
other. as it passes through the central
portion, of the Great North West"
The lands along the road from Bayfield,
to St. Paul are now in the market, subject
to private entry at 81 25 per acre. Many
desirable points at, and near, the relay
stations, can now be obtained where set
tiers can not only make good farms, blu
can make money from the commencement
by keeping places of entertainment, ant
furnishing refreshments to Travellers
Young men wishing to establish them
selves in the West, can make AS good 10
cations with a view TO future wealth, a
can be made in any new country. AnC
the heaithfuIness OF the climate is, alone
sufficient to give a decided preference Il
this country over many others.
