The Mainland Democrocs.

We take the following from the Washington
dispatches of the New York Times of Monday
last:
Democratic journals have been, for some time
past, wasting much time and space ia efforts TO
prove that the Republican Party is SO disorgan-
lied that it cannot hold together much longer,
that, in fact, the work of disintegration has
already commenced. The Democrats themselves
do not appear to be much better off to say moth.
ing about Ohio, and the effect of the Rosecrans
letter. The discussions in the DeHocratic Party
of Maryland, although they have not yet come to
an open rupture, are SO great as to alarm the old
party leaders, and to threaten the loss of the
State in the ensuing elections. Within the De-
mocratic organization, and constituting almost
one-half its strength, is party known as "Pro-
gressive Democrats" who come very near the
recent profession of faith by RosECRAYs and who
are beginning 10 make themselves felt in the
inside workings of tho party. Iii well under
stood in Maryland that enc of the most prominent
and trusted Democrats in the State is but wait
ing favorable opportunity to come out in favor
OF the Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment. and
that he has by no means insignificant portion
OF the Democracy with him. Movements are new
making which will be found to be of considerable
importance by-and-by, and which, in their re-
suits will be far from what the BLAIgs expected
toimagine."
We take it that the correspondent who sent
the above is more than usually 'well-informed."
The democrats Of this State delight to lay the
pleasing JUNCTION to their souls that Republcanisn
in Maryland is dying out but we tell them that
it is not so. There never was time, since 1866,
when the opposition TO Democracy in Maryland
was more powerful or united than now nor
more determined TO battle for the right We are
Gliding our time," waiting for coming period
when we can strike sure and effective blow in
defence of our cherished principles
We have heard before of the stson,iurpt ana
"trusted democrat mentioned in the foregoing
despatch, and think, with the correspondent,
that at the proper time, he is bound to create
quite an excitement among our democrats
Whether he can carry enough of the democrats
with him to carry the fifteenth amendment through
our coming Legislature remains to be seen but
he will make the effort, if there is any show Of
success an effort in which he will be seconded
by all the Republicans of the State.

Cuba.

Advices from this famous island, the Queen
" of the Antilles" bring US intelligence that
war, desperate war, still RACES upon its fair
fields. The insurgents seem determined to
fight on, and ever, if need be, to throw off the
weight of their dependence on Spain, while the
Spanish Government, 10th to lose its main sup
port and brightest jewel, is exerting its utmost
power to reassert its full authority. heSpan-
iards hold one portion of the island, with the
principal sea ports, while the insurgents are
back in the interior, between them being a
debatable land" which is often Redeemed
with human blood, because of the fierce con-
tests there taking place. And this contest
promises to be OF long duration, unless there
is an active interference by ours or some other
powerful Government. Whether the United
States will interfere or not is a question which
can only be determined by the futures but we
believe that it will not-as a belligerant, or
armed friend. of either side, but that it will
seek to purchase Cuba and make it part of
our Government. 1t has long been the ambi-
ton of many of our prominent men to possess
Cuba, and this seems to be an auspicious hour
for our getting possession of it. The Spanish
Government is poor. To defray its expenses,
the authorities have been compelled to borrow
for years past, pledging as payment for such
loans the revenues to be acquired from Cuba.
In the present uncertain condition of affairs
