CUBA ana cyprus.
In calling upon Mr.. EvARIs to consider the
attitude of the United States toward Cuban
slavery, the American Foreign Ant-Slavcry
society speaks to duh ears Neither Mr.
HAYES nor Mr.. EvARrs is disturbed by u
wrong that aroused the indignant rcmon-
~truncc- even of Gen. GEANr. and was made
the subject of diplomatic correspondence by
Secretary FISH. Throughout his eight
years. President GHANr did not cease TO
publicly dcuuuncc the holding of slaves in
Cuba 10y American citizens, and herewith
to express the hope that slavery in the
island might be wholly done away. If
little was practically accomplished thereby,
Mt least Spain aud the world repeatedly
learned the determined sentiment and
wish OF our people. But during seventeen
months Mr.. HAYES has been dumb on this
subject while in an act speaking louder
than words he appointed JOIN WELSH. OF
puio plantation notoricty To- the highest
diplomatic Office in his gift
Contrast this conduct with that Of the
Government to which HAYES sent PuRIo
WELSH. On July II, when as yet Sir GAR
Nrr WoLsELEY, the appointed Governor Of
Cyprus. had not entered the island. the Earl
OF SnAFrEsBURY. in the House of Lords,
asked the Duke of RICHMOND aud GoRpoS
whether the Government proposed to main
tain or abolish slavery in Cyprus. Lord
STANLEY of Alderlcy was quick TO iutorpo-e
that the subject WAS premature, since con
troll Of the island had not yet been assured.
But the Lord President of the Council
waived delay; he said he could understand
the interest which the Earl 81 SIIAFrEsBrKY
took IN the question. and which all English
men take in II. and hc declared that the
Government could lee trusted to carry out
that policy which it had lately exhibited in
Zanlihar, and again in the slave trade con
venton with Egypt. This announcement
was received with cheers.
The same night, in the House Of Com
mons, Mr.. BANTER asked the Under Score
tary of State for Foreign Affairs n question
like that put in tine Upper House by the
Earl Of sHArrEsBCRY. There was little
discussion. but the upshot was that Mr.
BOURKE assured the House that the Gov
crnmcnt would not, in its dealings with
| Cyprus, depart from the policy IN regard 10
-laychuldng that IT had already exhibited.
| and again reference was made to Zanzibar
and the treaty with Egypt
Cuba, it il true, is not to the United States
what Cyprus il to England; our relations to
! it are not those of "A prutcctorate. Never
! th"lr--. Cuba II our near neighbour. and not,
! lih" Zanzibar on cyprus, a distant country.

/ itor- and residents ;and whereas the slaves
/ in Cyprus nrc not connected with any class
of the British people, the slaves la Cuba. a.
