A striking example of how
Radicals dwell lovingly together
In harmony, is the New York
SUMS (RadiCal) assertion that
@Gen. Grants CoWardly Spanish
message on the Cuban question
has been translated into Spanish,
French, German, italian, and dis
tzibuted among The enemies OF
Cuba and liberty all over the
world. The despots Of Europe
hsve had no such useful document
for circulation during the present
century. To the friends Of free
government, everywhere, it is q
severe blow. Upon all the peo-
pies Of the earth struggling fol-
liberty, It falls like a thunder
stroke. No liberal European car
read II without . pang ; no free
born American can think Of Il
without q blush. Meanwhile, il
il pleasant to note that oul
people, in everv State o,
the Union, repudiste thu
infamous document with one voice
and devote Ito authors to scorr
and contempt. It ought to b.
expunged from the records o.
the nation, and, as far as possible
banished from the memory o.
