NO MORE CUBAN SLAVERY.
The Spanish Government Resolves to Ere
All In the Queen of the Antilles.

The Spanish Government Resolves to Free
All in the Queen Of Antilles.
Madrid, August 3.-Spain has virtually
abolished slavery in Cuba. In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day Senior Rafael Maraide
Labra made a motion that the Govern
ment take steps tn free, as soon as posi-.
BILE, the &c, 900 slaves who are still held in
bondage in Cuba. The Government &C.
copied the motion, which was passed unani-
mously. The President OF the Chamber
congratulated the Deputies on their action,
asserting that it was the GROWING point oil
the glorious work of the abolition of sla-
very throughout the dominion Of Spain.
This act OF the Spanish Government is
the most important act that it has passed
for centuries. Tonight it is the one prin-
cipal topics and all classes of the commun.
ity are discussing it. 1t is already pre-
dicted that as soon as the abolition Of
ton from Spain to the Queen OF the An
titles will be enormous. The Liberals have
long worked for this ultimatum, and there
is great rejoicing not only in this city, but
all over Spain because of this action of the
Government. Asembers OF the Chamber OF
Deputies are congratulated by citizens
wherever they are met, and the city has
the appearance OF a great community hold
ing a jubilee. When this act shall have be-
come a fact there will not be a single slave
under the Spanish flag.
This act of the Government is the culmi-
mating sequence of many efforts to bring
about the abolition of Cuban slavery.
Many OF the leading citizens OF Havana
have long hoped for this event, which will
undoubtedly be most gratefully accepted
by them as q forerunner of the new en-.
larged prosperity throughout the island.
Many of these will remember the action
of General Jose de la Concha in 1854. In
anticipation of an uprising of the creole
population he threatened to A~fricanize the
island. He formed and drilled battalions
Of black troops, armed the native-born
Spaniards, disarmed the Cubans and made
ready for a desperate defense. It was
by his energy that a revolution was
prevented. The Cuban Junta in New York
had made representations for descent on
the coast and had enrolled a large body Of
men, but owing to the condition of affairs
in Cuba, the fllibustering enterprise was
abandoned, Two Cubans, Pinto and Es-
trampes, who were captured with arms in
their hands. we're executed, and about one
hundred Others were condemned to the
galleys.
From that time to the present the con-
trolling sentiment among the enlightened
Cubans has been in favor OF the abolition
OF slavery, and the action of the Chamber
to-day will be hailed by them as an augury
of better days for Cuba, politically and
commercially, and in every way that
promises to give impetus to her progress.

THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.

Editor THE RECORD.
SIR You contend that the Prohibition
party is in effect an ally of the rum power.
If this is true, was not the anti slavery
party an ally of the slave power when it
stood in opposition to both the old Wing
and Democratic parties? The argument
is certainly as good in one case as in the
other. Time proved, however, that the
principles commended for by men of the
Lloyd Garrison type, were the correct ones,
as these and not the temporiziDg or COM
promising ideas of the Henry Clay type,
were the ones that brought final success
to the Republican party and liberated the
country from the curse of slavery. The
Wing party was not an Abolition party.
II it had have been, there would not have
been any other abolition party, and the
same is true Of the Republican party in
relation to prohibition. Hence, We have
Prohibition party.
State the majority of Republicans have
voted for temperance measures, but there
has always been enough Republicans to
vote against them to cause their defeat,
which is all that the liquor men want.
BY means of these few men they are able
to shut off and render poweress all the
temperance sentiment there is in the Re-
publican party of the State. If the Re-
publican party was really and truly an
anti-rnm or prohibition party, these men
and their sympathetic supporters, which
compose perhaps one third of its member
ship, would not be in it apd if it should
become an anti-rnm party, these voters,
or at least large portion of them, would
leave it at once and the party, as far as its
power is concerned, would be likely to be
q thing of the past. Such being the case,
the PARTY has not, and it is probably safe
to say will not, commit itself to prohibit
ton. Nor will it do so in any other
State where it has not majority too large
for the liquor men to overcome. Satan
will not help 10 cast Satan out. The rum
power will not be a party to its own de-
struction. On the contrary, it will al
ways be party to its own protection.
The two great enemies that threaten to
destroy our government by the people are
the rum power and political corruption,
each of which fosters the other and each
of which has a Judgment in both of the
old political parties. Hence it is certain
ly rational to conclude that If these evils
are ever cast out, IL will not be by any of
these parties that are permeated by them
The great question of the future viii be,
shall our government by the people be
swallowed up by these two great mon.
sters, or shall the monsters be destroyed
by the people ? and it is fast becoming
apparent to men of unbiased minds, that
the settlement of this great and all import
ant question must be preceded by poll
tical revolution.

REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.


1t appears to be favorite notion with
the Prohibitionists that they are sort of
second edition of the anti.slavery party,
and that the result of their efforts will
eliminate in the destruction of the rum
power. So far from likeness between the
two, there is not even resemblance. The
anti-slavery party was fighting an institu-
tion-not an appetite but their fighting
did not destroy slavery. Slavery would
have been in existence to-day, notwith-
standing tho Abolitionists and the Re-
publicans, had not tho slave power made
war on the national government When
II did that, like some reptiles, it bit itself
and died. When President Lincoln sign
ed the emancipation proclamation, every
slave was free. Before, slaves were born
afterward blacks were born but slaves
never. But does any one suppose that
the passage of Prohibitory law will pre-
vent the juice of the apple or of the corn
from fermenting, as heretofore? Let no
one deceive himself with the idea that
Prohibition is to be as quickly ac-
complished as the destruction of slavery.
1t will, no doubt, come in time, but it
will be result of the gradual education
and uplifting of the people. In the mean
time, while waiting for whole loaf, SEN
sible people will be willing to take even
half loaf if that is all that can be got.
Further, the wise man will, we imagine,
see more potent force in accomplishing
the result in moral rather than in poliii- |
cal efforts.
The Prohibition party is practically an
ally of the rum party, in that it defeats
temperance Republicans and elects whis-
key men to Office. The '.old Wing and
Democratic parties" were pro.slavery,
and SO their relation to the Republican
party was not the same as that Of the Re |
publican to the Prohibition party. Rath-
or, the Abolitionsts bore the same rela-
tion to the Republican party that the
Prohibitonists do to that party The
more moderate party did the most effec-
tive work.
Our correspondent acknowledges that
''the majority" of the Republicans voted
for temperance measures in the Legisla-
ture. One would suppose under these
circumstances that it would be best to
hold on to those who were already tenn,
perance and try to defeat those who were
not, and elect Temperance men in their
places; and so sooner secure success But
the Problbitionsts seem to have decided
that their little faction of the Temperance
army can do the best service by running
ticket irrespective of the character of
those on other party tickets, and ire
spective of the results following from
such action. How soon they will ''get
there by such course it is not difficult
to predict
If, as our correspondent suggests, cor
ruption as well as intemperance is to
be destroyed by the Prohibition party,
some of its leaders will have to be sub.
stitutei for better men, unless the
principles of homeopathy are to be ap-
piled to politics--''like cures like.''
