TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
HAVANA, Jan IL, 1859.
We here In Havana have read with pleasure aud salts.
faction which quite NATURAL the noble and magnificent
Message Of Mr. Buchanan, the President OF hc usitod
States. You cannot imagine what unuitorabc pleasure
have felt reading those lines OF tho Message relating
to our island which have sprung from the iusrous pen
Of the eminent representative OF tho American people
Marks Of the greatest giadncss were visible
tenances Of all Cubans were hardly able speak
for joy; all could do at that moment whom arst
read the words Of the Message utter In silence
ejaculation OF hearty thanks to the who 80 nObly
guides the helm of your government aud who SO gene
rousy feels for and takes much interest in the misor
tunes of our greatly oppressed country.
Not content with feeling alone, wo have also resolved
take up the pen for the purpose Of making known
to- the public in the United States by the medium Of
your widely extended Journal the gratitudo which
feel towards Mr.. Buchanan. Sure we are-y nost po-
svey certain are, that all true Cubans, all Sc
who detest tyranny and desposs who desire to ad
vance in the career Of progress and liberty do not look
with Indifference upon the truths in relation to Cuba
which are 80 frequently contained in the columns Of your
estimabie journal.
posed the serve obedience and submission to old and
Anticipated customs under which country is kept en-
saved How different Is situation from that Of your
country, where the individual who occupies the presi
denta chair gives every year in friendly way his views
with respect to the different relations existing between
your country and the other nations Of the wordl
Who there that feels within himself that he has right
to liberty who would prefer to remain subjected TO des
potism and tyranny, who would rather hail with
giatness, and bless the hand which is generously
stretched out to him by nation which has raised itself
above the age and is more exalted than any other peope
It gives great pain think that you should look
upon degenerate to be willing TO submit to the
worship Of despotism Dcspcabe indeed that man who
obeys the command Of tyrant, and ticks his feet like
wretched and hungry dog We deny that that man is
Cuban, whoever he may be- who on the perusa of your
Presidents Message does not breathe forth sentiment
OF gratitude and feel glad to embrace the protecting hand
which is stretched out to us.
We repeat it again and again, there does not exist
single genuine Cuban who has heard with Indifference and
without pleasure the words of the Message Of Mr. Bucha
You sir, will understand better than we can ex-
press to you how it is that dare not make any
men and how We are obliged to submit to all that the
tyrant who Expresses is pleased to command This
will enable you to account for the memorial to the Queen
got up by the corporation (dyuntaieno) of this city,
and how it has been filled up with signatures. sAl the
subscribed the memorial have been obtained by
force and obgation of them have signed spon
taneously, or by free will. Most of those who signed
have done in the base submission of their necks the
yoke imposed upon them by the despot of Cuba.
To-day this 18th Of January 1852 several officers of
the tyran the butcher of Atares sail for SPAIN
One of these. young Pedro Pablo O'Relly, Of the
Cuban arstocrat Manuel OReily, has been specially
appointed to place the memorial in the hands
Of the Queen This memorial among other signatures,
bears the names Of several ladies, such counesses
marchonesses, &c, persons whol could not refuse any
thing at the bidding Of the monster who Expresses u.s.
The whole affair is matter of force and nothing else.
Don't believe that We the Cubans, remain content
cd under the government Of SPAIN II would be ridcu
lous to suppose such thing freeman feel
any sympathy fellow feeling with tyrant Ever since
the Cubans woke up from the ethargy in which they
previously SUNK they have despsed and abhorred the
Spanish government; they have done since they
have discovered that it's fine speeches and fair promises
were falsehoods and seducons, which only ended in
ashes.
By these few lines, traced upon paper by hand still
trembling from the effects Of joy and also agtated by in
dgnaton you may learn that the whole affair of the dyu
tdieto and its memorial TO the Queen is nothing in the
world but subtle trick and cunning devsein word,
il all Of lie No Cuban be satisfied with
the yranncal notions and retrograde sentiments Of the
Spaniards, Of the Spanish government. The Cubans
have model to initiate and follow, namely your nation
and people. Cuba has necessarily her eyes fixed upon
your people the progress of your republic She
templates too earnestly and too inteny the liberty you
enjoy in all your States aud Territories to be able to
be content to sympathize with government of
Spanards. The sentiments Of tho Cubans and the
same with your own--namely, progress and liberty.
In conclusion, are anxious that you should publish
his letter In the columns Of your widely circulated jour
nal, and we arc your most devoted servants, and
BROTHERS AND CUBANS.
