THE CUBAN QUEsTIoN-WHAT THEY
THINK OF IT.-On Thursday night a larg,
meeting was held at the Third-street Metho.
dist church, embracing some of our LEADING
and most influential .colored citizens, for thu
purpose of considering the Cuban question:
John Oliver was called on to preside, and
w. III. Wells and L. Boyd acted as secreta.
ries. After spirited addresses by Messrs. w,
Brooks. W. Lester and w. II. Trent, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the American steamer Virgin
rus, sailing under the flag Of the United
States, with regular clearance from the
American government, was recently seized
in mid ocean, upon the common highway
of nations, by Spanish war vessel, who,
after capturing said steamer, hauled down
her flag, carried her into one of the Spanish
ports, known as Santiago de Cuba. where
her officers and crew were. without lawful
trial, shot down by Spanish soldiers acting
under order Of officers of the Spanish army;
and whereas, such seizure was violating
the laws Of nations, and gross insult to
the American flag; and whereas, there is
party in our country believing that the
Spanish republic, Spain, should be easily
delt with, meaning we should not ask too
much for the wrong inflicted, &C., &C.;
therefore, bel
Resolved. That we appeal with conf.
dence to the national administration and
the law-making power of the government
to secure ample redress for the shameful
and cowardly outrage inflicted upon the
honor of the Renuhlic
Resolved, The time has come for this
Republic to teach that red-handed slave
master, the Spanish government, that
wherever the American flag flies there
every American citizen, native and natu.
rallied, shall stand protected by an invio-
late safeguard.
Resolved, That we sympathize with the
Cubans who are now struggling to free
themselves from Spanish yoke. And we
recommend such measures be adopted that
will speedily secure for the Cubans place
among the free and independent republics
of the world, and thus rid the North
American continent of that foul, yea,
damnable blot, human slavery.
Resolved, We have no sympathy with
those men who would purchase peace by in
effectual expediency that must at least only
postpone war; who would for the indeci-
siye spirit of self.indulgence secure them
selves a respite from the responsibilities
and trying action which must devolve |
upon those who come after them.
Resolved, We deplore any such time
serving, hesitating and timid policy. Be.
lieving each generation should meets its
like brave men, we should and
are willing to render aid and such assist
ance by which Spain shall be made to know

SEAsONABLE ADVICE. Here are some
words of advice suited to the season: Now,
in November, when you 60 into neighbours
premises, be sure to leave the doors as you
find them. If you find a door shut, you
may reasonably suppose that your friend
wanted it shut, and, therefore, you have no
right to leave it open; and if you find it
open, no matter how cold the weather is,
do you leave it open, for it is reasonable to
suppose that it was left open for some good
purpose. And the same is good for all
places, whether they be houses, shops,
factories, offices, or whatever they may be.
Remember the rule, it has no exception:
leave the doors as you find them" If
the owner of the door does not know how
he wants it, how do you know how he
wants it?

The lesson which has been taught us
at the late election was of the severest
kind, but after all good one for that
large number of Republicans who, in
stead of being active and watchful, were
too lazy or too confident in their good
cause to do their personal duty, while
the enemy used every strategem and the
hardest work to obtain success.
What is the use of having from ten to
twenty thousand more Republicans In
this State than Democrats if more than
that number stays away from the polls ?
The result is our defeat, but it is also a
powerful reminder of our duty for the
future. from which we have still the
brightest expectations for our canse. Our
opponents, who have been starving for the
loaves and fishes, will reform only for
their benefits. We shall see the expen-
ses of our State Administration increas-
ed instead of diminished, as was SO
loudly promised, and our resources
squandered as they never were before.
Thus the next election will find..t the Re
publicans all as one man, in the front,
striking down the political hirelings and
gloriously rejoicing in the supremacy so
wrestted from them and
so richly deserved in the defense of Re
publicauism and true liberty.
