'sAll OF these islands are now free except Cuba
which is now oppressed by tae proudest and most
cruel tyraut of Europe, himself of mixed race oil
swarthy DIoo.s and sluggish white blood. He may
as well take warning hat the day is very near AT

Aud, ain, traverse hor twenty thousand miles
from the Russian possessions around the !stnmuS
of Darion, up the Gulf Stream to the bold shores
OF the Grants State which, with the ISLANDS OF
the Gulf soon, Ihope and believe, Will be added
to this mighty nation, to which they natura y De-

OF the mighty Walrus, on the strait which no nos

hearty enterprise OF this mighty ,mpiro-and you
have such vast, impregnable and sea-girt domain
as. the world HeFor saw. anything more
were wanting, moro iron-clads than al Europe
could send to this distance could be brought into
active operation in any tine necessary Tor tho de-
fence OF the nation. Then take your route North

every latitude nece sary for the production OF all
the industrial products Of civilization. No mineral.
NO vegetable that ever God created Tor the wealth,
comfort or ornament OF man would be wantea:
Her Southern climate, never moro to be polluted
by the unholy and infamous institution OF slavery,
bears upon every breeze tho balmy odors that de-
light the senses. Its soil is filed with burning
sapphire; its rivers run sands OF gold, Thlle It's
more rugged parts bsar quart equal to the fapled
Ophlr, and iodes OF silver.
II its more Northern climate is held IN firm de-
LIGHT by the lrdy sons of "ireenlaud's icy noun
tains," its moss-clad granite will always be pro-
tected by the Goddess Of Liberty. How much
better than the delicious isle over which contin-
ualIy blow the soft brcezcs Of spicey Ceylon,
