Contemplated Field of John Browns Opera
tiong

Among the papers Of the late John Brown,
found upon the Kennedy farm after his cap
ture, were maps Of eight Of the United Sta
tes, viz: OF Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and Tennessee. These maps were
such as are to be found in Morse's large
bound atlas, They were entered according
to act of Congress in the year 1872, by Sid
ney E. Morse and Samuel Breese, IN the
clerks office of the Southern District Of New
York. Each of the maps had table OF the
population OF every county of the State,
taken from the census Of 1859, pasted on It's
side. Andrew Hunter, esq, OF CharleStown,
acting attorney for the Commonwealth, kind
ly gave US permission to inspect these maps,
and We examined them infinitely .-Nortotk

The ACQUISITION Of Cuba.

In the late message, President Buchanan
again urges the acquisition OF Cuba, by fair
puschase ltl useless to talk about fair pur-
chase or foul purchase, when man il not
disposed to sell. II your neighbor has fine
mansion, much coveted by others, and has
often replied to proposals for purchase, that
he desires it Tor his own occupancy, II Is an
noying and insulting to hint j. anything
but good neighbOrhuod-tu insist upon IN,
selling. Moreover, before we talk ot acqur-
ing new countries, we would better keep to
gether what We have got, In fact, We could
better afford to sell than to buy. Suppose,
instead Of buying Cuba, We sell out New
England to Great Britain. The only diih-
Guilty in this plan would be in inducing Great
Britain, which has had some experience u
that race, to take her at any price.
We hope the SJuth 1T III events, will
wash its hands, especially 1T tits time, u
ali fiIibustering projects against CUBA. Let
the whole world see that it i not in this
part of the Uaion that schemes Of spollut!un
and aggression upon the rights, honor and
property of other comm untieS receive the
slightest countenanUe. Lot tie SoHth con.

In these days, when small politicians are
so glib upon tho subject Of dissolying our

wisely thought and we'll expressed on the
other side-to learn in fact, that the wisdom

Revolution, and founders ofour COVE -nment,
is not forgotten and disregarded. Please,
therefore, publish in the Gazette the follow

sequences that would follow Il dissolution Of
