THE WEEKLY ARGUS,
REDUCTION IN PRICE,

Ihere never was time in the history of oui
country when greater necessity existed for cir
cuIating pure Democratic documents. Radica
legislation has made II grave yard and desert Of
half of our country our liberties have been in
tringed upon to an alarming extent: ogerwhoIm-
ed with debt and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the scot and by-word of foreign nations dispis
ed at home and derdcd abroad il il oycrhanp
| ing the very brink of destruction: the departure
of our people from the glorious precepts of the
| past, has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in a military
| despotism. The New York ImpenaIist, founded
| and supported by the bond holding aristocracv,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire:
its efforts receive the countenance of high gov
eminent officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs ofthe East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship of State. There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed. |
There is but one way to redeem the country from |
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg- |
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles OF the fathers of the Republic, drive
from places Of trust the spoilers fattenng upon
the life blood of the nation, and place in mower
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism The struggle has already
commenced. The Democratic party will be
found, as in the past battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people
Circulate the documents
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands of every

Democrat in the county, and within the reach

investigate facts and listen to the truth while vet
here is time. On and after the LIST of July, the

Cespedes, the Cuban Patriot.

A correspondent of the New York Sun gives
the Cuban insurgents
Carlos Manuel Cespedes was born about forty
FIVE years ago, in the town OF Bayamo, Cuba.
The first twelve years of his life were spent with
his parents, who resided on plantation in the
vicinity. With them he only learned the first
rudiments Of reading, writing and arithmetic,
while at the same time he indulged in those
hardy employments and health-giving games
which are incident to life in a country naturally
mountainous and full of forests. His family
having gone to live at Bayamo when he was
twelve years old. Carlos was sent to school for
the first time. A few days after the commence
ment of his studies there, he gave proofs of an
extraordinary mental activity and intellectual
talents leaving behind him the most advanced
scholars in the school, and being recognized by
them as the head of the institution. When
eighteen years of age he went to Havana, with
the object of pursuing his studies there for the
legal profession. His great intellectually was
further developed there, at the same time that
numerous personal affairs gave him opportunity
to show his active, courageous and tenacious
disposition, giving an indication that he would
be as great in war as in peace. Graduating as
attorney-in-law in Europe, where he went after
wards, and receiving the highest honors he re-
turned to Cuba and fixed his residence at Man
zanillo. His powers Of eloquence, energy, and
his knowledge soon made him the most popular
man in the vicinity, and entitled him to rank as
the first lawyer in that part of the country. But
of all traits in his character, generosity marks
important one, and will give luster to all his
future actions. The fortune he inherited from
his father, the wealth he amassed by his indus
trious exertions, and his future prospects of in
creasing it, would have given him life of ease
and comfort but his patriotic heart could not
support the sight of his country in chains and
the victim to the outrages of the tyranical
Spanish government. Inspired by heroic reso-
luton, he gives freedom to all his slaves, aban-
dons his sugar estates to the merciess fury of
his Spanish foes who burned them in revenge,
and sacrificing all upon the altar of liberty and
independence, with the noblest motives he inau-
gurates the revolution in Cuba, at the head of
one hundred patriots-a movement which now
counts in its ranks the whole native population
all his acts the fullest energy, an untiring con-
stancy, and the greatest moderation IN the exer-
else of the discretionary power conferred on him
by the unanimous accord of all Cubans. When
we see men of this stamp supported by all the
natives of Cuba, and that they, without arms
and ammunition of any consideration, and by
their unaided efforts, not only have been able to
withstand the advance of the Spanish foe, but
have repeatedly defeated them and at last OBJ
tained possession of the greater part of the
island, then it becomes impossible for US to
doubt the final triumph of liberty and the pre-
vailing of American institutions in the " gem of
the Antilles

JEFF DAVIS PLANTArroN.-A correspondent of

The buildings all remain as they were when

been torn down. An old negro who used to be
one of Jeffs slaves now leases the plantation for
ten thousand dollars year, and hires hundred
and fifty hands to work it. Not white man is
to be seen on the place. Strange as it may seem
to Mr.. Davis, his old slave is making money FAST
and feels as proud as any white man, "libin in
