Of public meeting by her Grand Sachem, Mr.. VIM.
n. Tweed, and which duly came Off last night-"An
American citizen yet languishes In an English
prison for alleged Irish political 0nence;" and also
because "American citizens are executed IN Cuba
almost under the guns of federal ships Of war, and
without fOrmallties Of trial, and before they had
committed overt acts" Woe to perfdous Albion for
allowing an American to "languish' (cuttlng or his
mint juleps in summer and his whlsSey skins in win

one that comes under the denomination Of an
alleged Irish one. And doubly woe to Spain,
and her Regent and her Cortes and her
Cuban Captain General for having the audacity
to deal summary with those piOus youths whose
sensibtles are too high strung to let them permit
the ever faithful island to remain faithful any
longer. Tammany Is irate; she Is on the warpath,

two CASTLES had better beware. FAC .slf
