Hamilton Fish in the Pil,orv.

The Congress of the United States OF Co
lombia takes different view of the duty of
an American republic toward the Cuban
revolution from that which now prevails in
tho minds of Mr.. HAMILTON FISH and
his ney-getting associates. That Congress
has just passed resolutions declaring that the
Cuban revolution is right that il is the duty
of Colombia to help it; that the expulsion
of Spanish power from Cuba will alone pre-.
vent future uggressions of monarchicul Eu.
rope against the liberty and independence of
American States and that 1.-THE policy of
the United States of America cannot serve as
guide TO Colombia on this occasion"
When Americans contrast this manly ex
preston of a free republic with the
twaddle Of BISonAMs amendment. by
which the House of Representatives in
Washington lately endoavored, at the com.
mand of the President, to bolster up our in
competent and corrupt State Department.

Der Of the family Of nations, If rank in that

made in accordance with moral qualities and
intellectual perceptions, that little republic
must be placed far above our own, as we are
at present governed. Our conduct toward
Cuba, which was magnanimous and honora-
bic so long as JouE A. RAwLINs lived,
has ever since been controlled by q
desire to make money out of the pur-
chase of the island In aid of this pur.
pose our Secretary of State tells Congress
that we cannot afford 10 go TO war with
Spain but Colombia. through her national
Legislature, says, 1.-THE resources which
we may need for this war are not beyond ouI
means"
Such is the difference between a republic
whose Government is inspired by m anly and
generous sentiments and one whose Govern

Can IL be Truc 2

Can it be true that the subscription Of
81 ,000 which Gen. GRANT made last year
TO the fund for the family of the late
JONI A. RAwIINs was not paid by the
President, hut by JAMES FISK, Jr, with
whom he was at that time on terms of re.
maIkable intimacy?
Can il be true that there was false pre-
tcnce even in this testimonial TO the memory
of a most faithful friend, elow-soldier IN
the times that tried mems souls? Was it
not q testimonial from GRANT, but from
FISK and GOULD in GRANTS name?
1t is Of late currently alleged and quito
generally believed that this Thousand dollar
sui scription Of the Presidents was paid ly
Mr. Fisk or by his partner, JAY GOULD, in
addition to q similar subscription of their
own. If this is not so, Mr. Fisk should
not allow the report TO be circulated mo-
nient longer 10 the injury of tile President.

our Government was constrained to disavow the
act and PonrER was brought before court mar
tial. OF course the finding was against him, and
he was sentenced TO a brief suspension from
duty. The proceedings Of the court were up
proved by the Secretary Of the Navy, Mr.. Souri,
ARD, and subsequently by President ADAMS. Gen.
LAFAYETTE was then in Washington, and being
warm friend and admirer Of PoRrER, he begged
the President TO remit the penalty and restore
PoRrER to duty. Mr.. ADAMS gracefully acceded
TO his request and invited the Marquis
to meet PoRrER and few other gentlemen at
breakfast with him the next morning, when he
would announce the fact to the Commodore, and
tender him the command Of the fignte brandy
wine, which was then fitting out at Washington
TO carry the guest of the nation back to France.
LAFAYETTE was delighted, and expressed bis
thanks with characteristic vivacity. Meantime
a knot of politicians hostile to Mr.. ADAMS, called
the Jackson Association, had invited Commodore
PoRrER by letter TO attend one of their regular
meetings In this letter the Commodore was as
sured of the sympathy of the signors in his I'M
deserved persecution by an Administration that
was wanting in true national feeling. PORTER
made an indiscreet reply, Of course, rejecting
bitterly upon the treatment he had received
AT breakfast Mr.. ADAMS showed Porter letter
to the Marquis, who was greatly vcxcd and
chagrincd, but said that under the circumstances
nothing could be done but TO let the sentence Of
the court martial take its course PoRrER called
ut the White House, and Mr.. ADAMS turned his
back upon him. PoRrEp soon after resigned and
took service under the Mexican Government
Subsequently President JACKsoS gave him an

a performance generally regarded "a nautical

relations have been distinguished for the con-
spicuous incxactncss Of their representations.
Admiral roRTRR's career in the service, and
it was certainly very gallant one, would have
come to an end soon after the fall of New Orleans
but for the interference Of Admiral GuEGoRY.

the arrogance and presumption Of PORTER that
the Secretary of the Navy relieved him Of his
command and ordered him to the Naval Academy

there for day OF two, proceeded promptly to

A Sound Platform, but an Unsound

The Convention which nominated Gen
GRANT for the Presidency set up platform
Tor him to stand on, and one of lis plnnks
was the following:
"Tbis Convention declares Itself IN sympathy
with all oppressed peoples struggling Tor thor
lights
This declaration was made in May, 1865,
and in the October following the people of
Cuba, desiring to obtain their rights and re
lying upon the professions Of that great party
which had governed the United States for
eight years, rose in rebellion against their
Spanish oppressors Thus they began that
brave struggle for freedom, for the abolition
Of slavery, and the equal rights of man, in
which they still persevere in the face Of Oh
staclcs that only the most devotion could
contend with.
If the Republican National Convention OF
1868 felt such sympathy for oppressed PEG.
pies struggling for their rights, how deplora-
bly, the Republican Congress and the Re.
publican Executive have fallen away from
that noble declaration Instead OF aiding
the Cubans, they have aided their enemies
md ut this very moment there are men
ut the head of the State Department, kept
there by this Republican Congress and

gagged in scheme to make money by
the purchase and sale of Cuba, and who have
