1t might afford a preterf, but not an
excuse. The statesman who always trims
for expedieucy is not equal to great
emergency. Let him be guided by the
truth and the right, and he need fear no
evil.
Ifany one ofthe nations ought to inter-
fere in this ease, it is the United States.
And first of all, because Cuba is near
est to us, and ought geographically, to be-
long to us. This is reason sufficient in
itself. But this is not the principal source
of our obligation.
We have ourselves attained to independ-
ence by struggle with transatlantic
power. Our wrongs and grievances were
few and insignificant compared with those
of Cuba, but we esteemed them sufficient
cause for separation. OF all the nations
then we are best prepared to sympathse
with those who fight against oppression.
But again we have been the party Of
the other side, not as oppressors, but as
obliged to subdue rebellion, and are the
better qualified to sympathise with Spain
if she is entitled to sympathy.
Evidently then the conditions are fully
met which make it proper and suitable fol
us to act in the case.
To descend from The highest motive-S
that of our duty to the cause of suffering
humanity-there are other reasons which
bear pointedly upon the case.
1t is possible that in the course of time
Cuba may become Independent withou
our assistance. Otherpowers may be con
strained to do what naturally devolves up
on us. 1t is easy to foresee that Cuba, i
she becomes independent of Spain withou
encouragement from US, will not be likel
to seek friendly relations with US. TIL

Smuggler's Notch,

Mr.. EDITOR There is some question
in this vicinity, regarding the claim of the
above name to the route from this town to
Stowe.
There is no doubt that the route from
Bakersfield to Waterville was tho
roughfare for smugglers and their attend
ants, driving u smart business some fifty
years aGo-and the reputation of the latter
routes may have been charged to the
Mountain Notch.
There are but few among tis able to
give the desired informatisn land We trust
they may be induced to let your readers,
with your permission, have such facts as
may bear upot the subject.
