GENERAL CASTILLO, one of the Gu
ban chiefs, says his troops can not be
disba1ded until they shall have been
paid. AS the United States did not
enlist them, and as they not only re-
fused to render any assistance to the
U. S. army, but actually withdrew
from it, why this country should be
called upon to pay them, is what can
be told only by those who imagine that
the chief business of the people of the
Unites States, is to pay taxes.

ONE HUNDRED and eight years ago
General Washington wrote letter to
Patrick Henry. in which ne said his
"ardent desire was to keep the United
Stltes free from all political ccnnec-
tlons with every other country; that he
wanted an American character, aud to
chow the powers of Europe that we arc
for ourselves alone, and not for others,
and to share in the broils of none, and
that nothing short of selfrespect ought
to involve US in war; What would
the General say now if he could write
a letter, about interfering with Spain
and her insurgent subjects, and about
uhe late Spanish war?

seems that the American immunes have
already caught the habit.
