CUBA.-We trust that every Southern member of
Congress at least and every citizen of the South,
will oppose every proposition and every project for
the acquisition of Cuba against the wishes of its law
full proprietors. Surely after the scenes which
have lately transpred in Virginia, no Southern man
countenance a filibusterIng invasion of friend
ly island nor condemn the severcst measures which
the Spanish authorities have ever taken, or may
hereafter take, for their protection. What Virginia
is there, who if a Cuban would hesitate to deal
with hbusters just as Virginia has dealt with old
Brown! The idle stories of the oppression of the
Cubans are just groundless as the abolition
stories of Southern oppression those wretched fables
which inspired Brown and his companions with their
quixotic purpose, and which now infiam-
ing multudes at the North with false sympathy for
the blacks and vengeance against their masters
Even if the Cubans oppressed, are called up
on to break their chains ? Must we become like
the abotionists, the selfconstituted champions of
oppressed humanity? We demand Justice from the
North; let us exhibit it to the South. We say to
the North, "hands off," let us keep our own hands
off Cuba and all our weak neighbors. Let us show
that it does not require might to make US respect
fright; let do to others as we would that others
should do unto us. We are all aware that it is the
North which must be principally benefited by the
acquisition of Cuba but designing men in that Sec
tton have always sought and are still seeking to
make the South catspaw for the purpose of taking
that tempting chestnut out of the fire. All that the
South has gained by fillibusterng and the lille
gal prosecution of the African slave trade is the re-
putaton throughout the world o. az aggressive pi-
ratical race, whilst Northern capital and Northern
commerce have been the main spring. and have
reaped the principal advantages of both kinds of en-
terprise.-Richmond Dispatch

But, their opposition will prove unavailing. The
minds of the people cannot be diverted from the true

the result. Greater incentives to united and har
monious action could not be presented to the minds
of freemen. They will produce their results. They
will arouse that love of country inherent in the
American heart, and which is never found wanting
when that country is endangered. Personal rival
res and party differences will alike disappear, as
the fight thickens and the danger approaches. The
acts of the politician will then lose their charm,
