Y;re State. There congregato the genuine, simon
pure Democrats, who strain neither at gnats nor
eamsls, but stand ready to swallow Cuba, negroes
and all, and especially the negroes. A Tammany
Mall Democrat cannot be mistaken for q disguised
Republican, or an intriguing Know.Nothing, for
his characteristics are so plainly written they may
be read at a single glance. What he does, he does
with oil his might, and as Tammany wished to ex.
press its sentiments in relation to tho acquisition
Of Cuba, it was fitting. of course, that Tammany
should do it up brown, and Senator Brown Of Mis-
sissippi was therefore chosen as the mouth piece
Of tho unterrifed. The Hon. gentleman said,
"For the purpose of having indemnity for the
past and security for the FUTURE! Spain be indis.
posed to SELL would seize Cuba (applause,) seize
IL as indemnity for the past, and then negotiate for
fu;ure security. II We can't nerve the government
or TO that point; if the proverbial timidity Of old
age. which presses heavily upon MIR. Buchanan
and General Cass, can't be brought to that point;
If they will no. direct the extending spirit Of
American freedom. [ would repeal the laws, and
cry Speed to the fllibnsters. and let slip the dogs
of war" Cheers For one, my fellow citizens,
I have grown weary of this thing, of having young
proud, glorious America knocking at the door Of
Spain. and asking for admission. 1t is our policy
not TO ask justice, but to demand it, because it is
our right. l would have no more dalliancc with

Sor Brown isn't e1a;tly sick, but he tells his fellow
citizens he has gro n ueary, and he then presents
. postical picture OF Young. proud, glorious
America knocking ut the door of Spain, and ask
ing FOR admission" The imagery of This descrip.
Hion fully equals that Of Poo in his Raven, when
-"suddenly there came a tapping

chamber door"

appear to differ in opinion from the Honorable
gentleman, and having possession Of Cuba, does
not seem disposed to open the door to Young
America, and still! less to beg him to accept the
island as q present.
Senator Brown tells why he desires Cuba:
II want Cuba for the extension of slavery. /
speak for myself. and not for any party. (Sensa-
sion.j Let Greedy understand this, let Garrison
understood this, let all the dirty abolition crew
understand this" lCheers.)
This matter has been we'll understood from the
commencement, net only by Horace Greedy and
she Republicans, but also by tho abolitionists; the
Teason-we m~ean-why the South wants Cuba
As to tho Senator's orn reasons for wanting il
the opponents of Cuba annexation regard them
with the mos. supreme Indifference, except 30 far
% they are the reflex of southern sentiment. The
Senator 10 mistaken in surprising The northern
people estimate him SO highly as he does himself,
OF consider his individual opinions of such vast
importance as he evidently thinks they are. Hun.
dreds of thousands only know him rs one Of the
extensive family Of Browns. which we believe is
numerically superior to either that of Smith or
Jones.
That the Hon. gentleman is intensely democra.
tic, may be seen from his confession Of faith:-
AZ am a pro. slavery man; | believe that slavery

tinued applause; and my i'm preston is, that every
one of you would be better off if he had q negro
TO wait on him. (Cheers and applause.) "a voice
Three cheers for Brown. They were given with
energy"
No one, Of course, can object to this unless he
10 radical enough to believe in human equality, has
some knowledge Of the doctrines of Christianity,
and isn't lazy enough to want a negro to wait on
him.
Senator Brown wants sldreholding Cuba. and
not free Cuba. As he appears to esteem his views
upon this point as a matter of general interest, we
give our aid in making known his sentiments.
"But I have heard it objected TO by some Of our
friends. who are not abolitiOnists, nor in the aboli,
tion interest, that Cuba is a slave territory, and
that it's acquisition is not desirable on that account.
Now, speaking for myself, and myself alone, and
those who simply agree with me, IT it were to come
TO Us as a free territory, and a free territory alone,
then my courage would very much ooze out at the
points of my fingers"
Not only does he want Cuba for the extension
of slavery, but for sundra other reasons as here
enumerated.
"Yhen We want Cuba for the purpose of nation

The Gulf Of Mexico, and blocks up the Mississippi.
