MESSRs. HOTCHhISS SONS -
Since you informed me thatyou had become
the paoprietors of the Congress" and EN-
pire" Springs at Saratoga, l have reflected a
good deal upon your idea of extending the use
OF these healthiul waters. l hope you will
make an effort for IN thus promot ng your
own interests, you confer great benefit upon
all who are brought to knowledge Of the
virtues of your Springs. l have visited Sara
toga annually, for nearly forty years and du-
ring that long period, Il have kept the Congress
Spring Water continually at my residence;
partaking of it two or three times week. In
my voyages to Europe and the West Indies, |
have taken several dozens with nc. Indeed
no family ought to cross tie Atlantic without
Congress Water. have dra"k it in the Trop-
cal Islands, IN England, in France, in Ger
many, ard in Italy, with the same beneficial
effect IS when drawn fresh from the Spring.
To me, Congress Water, aside from its medi-
cinal qualities is a deiie htful beverage. The
Empire Spring, though but recently resorted
to for bottling, furnishes very delicious Water
and like the Water of the Congress Spring. pre-
serves its healing qualities rs long as air Is
excluded. 1t is so rare that we find in the
medicine fequired to cure The ellis that flesh
is heir to-" pleasant beverage, that hope
you will send it 10 many thousands who will
gratefully rememoery you ass public beaefactor.
Truly yours;

CUB ia.

The Spanjsh authorities>n Cuba officially deny the
outbreak of an insurrecon in Puerto frincipe' anu
represent the whole affair as hoax. we give tne
official denial as we gave few days ago the report
of the instruction, for what it may be WORTH Inc
official statement, we believe stands fully as much
in need of further confederation the unofficial
report. Subsequent information will establish the
whole truth In the mean time, it may not be out oil
place 10 recall a few undeniable facts:
/. There has been for many years in Cuba strong
marty in favor of making the island Independent Oh
European rule and free American country.
9 This party enjoys the undivided sympathy of all
the peoplc of the South American Republics. those
ofhe Republics which at war withSpan as appears
from our latest Panama intelligence, have, for some
time. been planning scheme to aid the CUBAN party
of Independence, and have recently been IN eager
consultation about the subject There IS therefore,
nothing improbable in a Cuban revolution, and IN It's
support by the allied Republics of South America
On the contrary if there was not recently an lnsurc
ton in Puerto Principe, aided by South Americans
We think it highly probable that there will DC sneVey
soon.
3. The Republics of South and Central America
which together count population Of about 14OO0o Oo
inhabitants have concusiyely proved by the opera
tons of their ron-cads that they can liberate Cuoa
the moment they shall agree upon aunited effort HOW
long would bankrupt Spain be able to sustain a war
against an American army of2O,OOO or 10000 men III
Cuba
From these reasons we believe that the Spanish
rule in Cuba and in the West Indies in general Is
rapidly drawing to a close, whatever may have been
the nature of the recent disturbance in Puerto Pn-
cine.

Among the thousands Of farmers we have met, we
do not remember one who ever planted seed in his
neighbors garden in the hope that the fruit would
fall into his own. Yet there are men who have, by
dnt of hard labor convinced themselves that the only
way to build up American agriculture is By encour-
aging European manufactures. Encouragement of
this kind is very charitable, but it would it not be
more Just to encourage our own We do not wonder
that the English believe in free trade profoundly,
for they have the profitable side of the question; that
which surprises us is that any thoughtful American
agriculturist should think that he can work better
with an'inported spade than with one manufactured
at home The theory Of Protection underlies our
whole system of government; it is carried putin boun
Diary lines armies, navies, and orresses; it is only
when commerce and manufactures are concerned that
the free trader bids us throw off armor and aban

world
Free trade admits that its incyitabl: result is to
cheek the growth ofhoms Manufactures, and actually
jusfes it by the m9p;trous argument that unlimited
increase OF manufactures would produce rivalry
that would destroy them all Upon this principle, we
