Taken.
The friends Of Cuban annexation met at
Tammany Hall last evening. under the
championship of Captain Rynders, Post
master Fowler, John Cochrane, and other
prominent democratic politicians. The
band played, the cannon boomed, and the
bonfire blazed, vet the rough crowd came
but slowly, and the gathering when at it's
height, was not formidable, either in char
acter or numbers. Ex-Mayor Micklepre-
sided, and Mr.. Fowler offered a tedious
series of resolutions in favor of acquiring
Cuba, which was cbeerel AMI adopted.
The first speaker was Senator Brown. of
Mississippi, who laid down the democratic
ilibuster creel in the broalest way pos
sible. Cuba, sail he, must and Shall
be ours. The decree has gone forth, and
there exists nowhere power on earth to re-
woke it. The only remaining question for
us to consider is this: by what means shall
we make the acquisition? Three modes
have been proposed-iirst, Ly purchase,
that Iregard as the most honorable; second,
by conquest and that | regard a the not
certain [applanse third. from the agency
of the mysterious operation of that power
known in political nomenclature by tia,
name Of flihusterism aud that regard az
the most probable laughterl but whether
by one or the other, or by all of these
agencies combined, say again that Cuba
must and shall be oars cheerSl !, and the
power does not exist on earth TO prevent If.
If Spain is disposed to sell the island, [

/ Spain one hundred millions, and if that is
not enough, TO pay her two hundred mill

disposed to sell, then my next proposition
is to propose an investigation for the set

For the purpose Of having indemnify for
the past and security for tie flltuIe-if
Spain be inlisposed TO sell would seize
Cuba [applausel |. seize it as an indemnity
for the past, and then negotiate for the fu-
tnre security. If we cant nerve the gov
ernment up to that poiht--if the preverLi
al timity of old age, which presses heav-
l!y on Mr. Buchanan and General Cass,
can't be brought TO l'iat point-if they
will not direct the extending spirit of
American freedom, would repeal the laws.

The remainder was rambling, AMI some of
