! IL is with regret that have again t.
Announce continuapce Of the dis urbed
condition Of the Island of Cuba. No adj
vance towards the paclfcation Of the dis
contented portion of the popuface has been
made, while the lnsurrection has gained
NO advantagesand exhibits no more OF the
clement of power or the prospect Of
uii innate success than We're ex-
hlblted a year. ago. Spain on the
other band, has not succeeded in ITS re
preston, md the parties stand ia appar-
emily the same relative attitude which
they have occupied for long time past.
THIS contest has lasted Apw for more than
four Years. Were its scene at a distance
fr"m our neighborhood, we might be in
i different to the, results, althpug6 hunani-
Ity copd not be uimovcd by It's Incidents
wherever they might occur, They are,
however at our door. cannot doubt that
| the continued maintenance of slavery in
Cuba is among the strongest inducements
10 the continuance of the strife. A ter
rible wrong is the natural cause Of a ter
rlble evil Tue abolition of slavery and
the introduction Of other reforms in the
administration OF the government in Cuba
tcouAd not fail to adva tie restoration
oil peace and order. 1t is especially TO be
hoped hat he present liberal government
OF Spain Will voluntarily adopt this view.
The law OF emancipation which was pass
ed more than two years since has rema n
! ed uneXecuted IN the absence Of Iegu-
latlons Tor Its enforcement. 1t was but a
feeble step toward emancipation, but it
vas the recognition of the right, and was
1 hailed as such, and exhibited Spain in
harmony with the sentiments Of humani-
ty and of justice, and in sympathy with
the other powers Of the christian and civ
lllzed world. Within the past few weeks
the regulations for carrying out The laws
or emancipatitn have been announced,
! giving evidence or the sincerity Of the
Intention of the present Government &c

have not failed 70 urge the consdera-

tlce OF more eff Give system for the abo-
l!iion of the great evil which has Cypress
ed race and continues bloody and de-
structive contest close to our border, as
well as the expediency and the justice of
conceding reforms Of which the propriety
is. not questioned. Deeply impressed
with the conviction that the continuance
of slavery is one Of the most active causes
| LOT che continuance of the unhappy con
| dition in Cuba, regret to believe that
citizens of the United States, or those
claiming to be such, are large holders in
/ Cuba Of what is there claimed as proper
ty, but which is forbidden and denounced
by the laws OF the United States. They
are thus in defiance OF the spirit Of our
own laws, contributing to the continuance
of this distressing and sickening contest.
In my last annual message referred to
this subject, and again Recommend such
legislation as may be Proper to denounce,
and, II not prevent, at least TO discourage
American citizens from holding or dealing
in slaves.
