FREE misunderstanding to the
Nashville ('renn.) Banner, there will be
an opportunity the comisg summer TO test
the question whether one Of the results or
the overthrow Of slavery was the securing
the right Of flee speech to any citizen Of
the United States who may be disposed to
address the people Of any State upon po-
litical questions. A writer in that paper
has heard the intimation that the true
Union men Of the State propose in the
coming campaign TO put ten or dozen
of the best speakers from the Northern
States on the stump. and discuss questions
of national politics before the people--and
he closes his communication with the fol-
lowing til eat " So sure as there is God
in Heaven. If the radicals inundate the
State with Northern speakers this year the
conservatives will do the same, and just SO
sure as this Is done, so surely and certainly
.oiU IL end IN hood" Here then is a field
in which to try the question whether this
is yet free country or whether the spirit
of slavery in its worst form still holds par
amount sway. The chains and shackle,
of slavery have been stricken from tn
limbs of the black man and lie stand
erect free man. Do they still renal
upon the mind and thoughts of the whit
man, and is he to be told that If be utter
his sentiment in an orderly and prope
manner that he must seal his words wit
his blood One of the triumphs whic
our boys in blue won by their bayoneI
was the rights of free speech on every fo
of soil over which the stars and stripe
float, and that right will be asserted an
maintained in spite of any and all threat
We trust the Union committee will tax
early measures to test this question in
Tennessee.

Two stirring proclamations by
General Prim have appeared posted
up in the large towns of Spain. On
the subject of the insurrection, the
Paris correspondent of a London
paper says;
"All the information that has yet
reached US through the telegraph
agencies is from Government sources,
and therefore worthless; but, even in
that, any one who is acquainted with
Spain, and who can read between the
lines, may discern symptoms of a re-
bellion on a large scale. Among
Spaniards | hear but one voice as to
what must be the result of a success
ful movement, and it is that the
dynasty must go, since it has now
been sufficiently proved that it is In
compatible with an honest govern
ment. The question is between the
downfall of the Bourbons and the
ruin OF the country. For a long
time past Madrid has been like a
tomb, where no business is done and
little life seems to exist" - ,noe

SWEET CIDER.-Why should you
crave sweet cider? If you want a
drink of water, you are particular tC
have it fresh and pure, from a clean
bucket or pitcher, free from dust
bugs or flies. How is it that you are
so careful to use only clean water in
making tea, coffee, chocolate? Most
people pick and wash coffee before
browning it. Did you ever drink
pure, sweet cider? NEVER. Have
you ever seen cider made? The
sound and perfect apples are first Sc
lected for market, or home use; ther
the inferior, wormy and partially de
cayed fruit is carted to the press
thrown in heaps upon the ground
the wasps, bees, flies, bugs and worms
too establish their quarters among
the apples and around the press, and
the turkeys and chickens add any
thing but cleanliness to the surround
ings. The straw laid on the press tC
hold the pomice harborS insects and
gathers dirt. The powerful pressure
is applied, and whether the juice of
the worms, bugs, insects and filth ado
to the sweetness Of the flavor of the
expressed apple juice is for you tC
judge.
Did you ever observe the fermenta
ton? If so, you must have seer
much filth working out at the buns
hole. Would you be tempted to ca
the stuff forced to the surface by fer
mentation? Yet you drink it wheI
you drink sweet cider. The appl,
| juice hides it from your sight anC
taste. Has the filth all left the bar
rel? You know better.
Then let me ask, if you want pure
sweet cider, how can you be sure tc
obtain it except by eating clean, sounC
apples, free from insects, worm juic,
and alcohol?

Ask me not to Drink.

Fair lady, ask me not to drink, ...
A toast to thee to-night;
For broken vows and blasted hopes
Expose the demons blight;
Put back the wine, dare not taste
Put back the sparkling BOWL
For who hath quaffed draught SO deep
And reached blissful goal?
Oh ask me not, there lies within, ...
A poison deep and dire
And every drop but serves the more
To fan the latent fire.
Each draught will quench my sense of guilt,
And blast youths budding hope;
Each drop will sink me deeper still
In moral night to grope.
Oh press me not to touch the cup,
Within are glaring eyes, st
And starving widows, hungry babes,
And freezing orphans cries;
Whom the Gods destroy they first make drunk
Then ask me not to drink;
Oh tempt me not, but spare my soul,
From deaths eternal brink.
l have three sisters mildly fair.
Like angels round my way;
Whose love is like the stars that shine,
With undimnished ray;
Shall they be doomed to see me fall,
A prey to maddening drink;
And sundered be the love that binds,
Or snap the golden link ?
Another sleeps where sadly waves
The willows in the vale,
And midnight whispers from the sky,
Come on the signing gale;
She pass'd away summers breath,
In life's incipient bloom;
Then tempt me not, would not mar
Her slumbers in the tomb.

At the recent great mass meeting
at Macon, Georgia, one Of the colored
speakers, Rev. HI. M. Turner, read
from the Bible in the original He
brew, in support Of his argument
about the races. He closed as fol
lows:
81 ask no more for my race than
am willing to grant to yours. We
want our rights, and ask the white
man for them. For two hundred and
fifty years we have labored for you,
more submissively than any race has
ever done before. We built your
railroads. During the war we took
care Of your wives and little ones,
when at any time we could have scat
tered ruin and devastation in your
rear. And what do we ask of you
now? In the whole $4,000 squar-
miles within Georgia, what portion is
possessed by the negro? No, there
is nothing for the negro; and all he
now asks is that the negro have a fair
living chance. | do not ask for ven.
geance upon the white man. | wish
him to have fair and equal chance,
and have no grudge against him, and
will take the hand of all white men
who will give US our rights. | want
my white friends to take the wheels
on one side Of the Union car, and the
negroes on the other, and roll it
through"

Acquisition Of Cuba.

The mysterious insurrection going
on in Spain derives new interest from
the reported offer of General Prim,
its leader, to sell US Cuba-in case.
of course, his success should ever give
him the power to sell. This contin-
gency, it must be confessed, does not
seem very imminent. And yet the
acquisition of Cuba by our govern
ment, through oae method or another.
does not now seem any more improb-
able than the acquisition of Russian
America did one year ago. The lat
ter region is afar off and unknown.
Cuba is close at hand, and as terri
tory, aside from other considerations
is universally acknowledged to be
desirable. John Quincy Adams nev.
er said of Sitka, Alaska, or whatever
else it may finally be called, as he did
of Cuba, that it naturally gravitated
toward the United States and must
yet become one with us. But we not
only actually have the Russian Pos
sessions, but there is a project on
foot for buying British Columbia we
have negotiations under way for OBJ
tanning the port of Samana; and
many people suppose we have taken
the initiative for acquiring the Sand
wich Islands. 5ea eur Nil s.F
Considering then, how the appetite
for national annexation grows by
what it feeds on, who can say that
our next absorption may not be in
the direction Of Cuba, and that it NAV
not be accomplishments has happen
ed in the case of some of our previous
acquisitions-before the country is
fairly walked up to the consideration
Of the question. We should certainly
deplore such a step under present cir
cumstances, or any which now seem
probable. But if we are destined to
any future acquisitions of territory,
there is none, excepting possibly so
much as shall give us a continuous
right of way to our new territory in
the North, that, under unobjectionable
conditions of sale, would be so desir-
able as Cuba. The Island comprises
an area of about $4,000 square miles
about equal to the area of the
State of Maine, or half that of New
England. In a military point ofview
it is the key to the Gulf of Mexico,
and has ports which would be of the
greatest value to our iron clad fleet
Agriculturally, Cuba is the garden of
America, richer probably in its re-
sources than any other region of equal
extent. AS the last strong hold of
slavery, it might well fall under the
sway of the great emancipating re-
public. But there is no need of dis
cussing the question just at present.
Gen. Prim has not succeeded in his
revolutionary project, and there is no
evidence that he ever will. The
present government of Spain, which,
in measure, lives On the revenue de-
rived from Cuba, is not at all likely
to entertain any propositions for the
alienation of the island. The whole
subject in fact, is one of those that
belong to the future-and sufficient
unto the day are both the evils. and
the advantages eof.-Boston Jour

PUTTING UP SWEET CoRN.--The
time will soon be here when sweet
corn will be ready to put up for win
ter use, and a few points in regard to
curing the article will not be out of
place. Get your corn when the grains
are in prime order for the table
when the corn is tenderest and the
juices are sweetest. Boil the ears a
few minutes (not above five) three is
better than five. Then cut and lay
away to dry. A fruit dryer is best ;
oven moderately warm, will answer
very well or take any method that
will soonest dry corn, being always
careful not to burn it, and do not lay
in Jumps, or too thick together when
drying, or it will soon mould. Around
stove, or where there is a fire, is a
good place always avoiding dampness
and steam, put in sacks, and hang it
away in dry place, and your corn is
fit for next winters use. In using,
you are to restore as near as possible
to its original state. This is the best
done by washing it to get out dust
and husk, and then thoroughly soak
ing in water, the water retained to
boil it i'll.

MOnEI. CONFESSIONS

MODEL CoMPosITIoN.-The Essex
Statesman says "a boy in South Dan
vers wrote the following composition
upon his native town, which it thinks
is very good for school boy:
South Danvers is in the United
States. 1t is bounded by Salem and
reaches to Middleton. Its principal
river is Goldthwaite's brook, which
empties into Salem Harbor. Its prin.
cipal lake is the mill pond, which is
dry in summer. Its principal produc
tions are leather, onions, the South
Church and George Peabody. South
DanVers has many religious sects
among which are the Orthodox, who
worship their minister, the Spiritual
lists, who worship everything, and the
Utarians, who worship nothing.
