Thursday, August 23, 1949, ‘The Steamer’s News, ‘There is yet no news from the steamship Cana- da. The wires to St. John were in fine working | order last night. ‘We Position and Affairs of Cuba Rightly Explained, ‘There seems to be a great deal of incorrect in- formation abroad respecting the projected move- | ment in favor of Cuba, the sympathy of the American people, the movement within the Ame- | fiean borders, and the position of the government ef the United States, with perhaps the sentiments of other governments in relation to this compli- eated but very important matter, that we were the | first to bring before the country a short time siace. Let us explain further. The contemplated movement, in regard to Cuba, is a pronunciamente, or a revolution, which is in- tended to break out in the island of Cuba, in the meighborhood of Havana, probably, as soon as arrangements can be made to give force and energy te such a eourse of independent action. Fer many, many years the white populatien of ©uba have been excluded from all participation in the government, of any description whatever, and are furthermore oppressed, taxed, and very tre- quently imprisoned for simple expression of pinion, at the will and pleasure of the governor gent cut by the imbecile court of Spain to tyran- nize over that island. The idea of issuing a pro- unciamento, and effecting a revolution in Cuba, w as old as a quarter of a century. When the last revolution in Spain was in progress, before it was put down by the French, under the Duke d’Augo- Jeme,fabout twenty-seven years ago, we know that ‘@ similar movement was contemplated by the in- habitants of Cuba, and it was even favored by | many members of the Spanish popular government | of that day, and it was by the merest accident in | ghe world that the people of Cuba did not acquire their independence during that great political effervescence in Old Spain. Nothing bnt the in- vasion of Spain by the French, under the Duke @’Avgoleme, and the dread of a French fleet at Hlavana, prevented the people of Cuba at that time fom declaring their independence and maintain- ung it against all the Spanish force on that island. | From that period to the present day, the same enterprise has been contemplated, and the same opinions have been maintained, with more inten- sity, by the great bulk of the inhabitants of Cuba. Every now and then some feeble attempt is made te realize independence, but, as yet, with very in- | different and unforiunate success. At the present | tame the prospect 1s more favorable. All Eurepe | is in a state of revolution. Spain, herself, 1s in the anxious seat; and it is now believed that a vigerous and united effort of the white inhabitants of Cuba would be joined by a considerable por- tuon of the very army which is under the command | of the government there, as soon as they got into a position to declare their sentiments and express | their convictions. There is not a soldier in that | army who would not receive from one to two or | served—no patriotism, however pure—no judg- | have been forgotten, or are likely to be forgot- | ‘ three thousand acres of the beautiful soil of Cuba, | after the termination of the etruggle and the real- mation of the independence of that glorious is- Jand. ‘The stories put forth in relation to the expedition from the United States, onght to be understood in 2 eertain reserved, dignified, and diplomatic man- mer. Ifthe people of Cuba, as we believe they will, begin the contemplated movements them- selves, issue their promunciamento, and commence their revolution, they will be able to maintain | themselves, and will attract to their assistance the aetive energetic spirits of Europe and the United States, that may wish to join them in carrying such a glorious enterprise to a succeseful result. The bodies of men collected at New Orleans or else- where, do not come in conflict with any law or any engagement between this country and Spain, erany other foreign nation. It 1s not the Ameri- ean people, nora body of armed Americans, that | ‘will commence or carry on this revolation. It | clearly perceive that the demecrats will be com- | manage their effairs with discretion. They are im- sent administration, We don’t care what cabinet may be in existence at the time, we are sure that Zachary Taylor bas the eourage, the Amencan feeling, and the yromptitude to take a stand at once, and say to the Spanish government, and its aid- ers and abettors, the British government, that they shall not move a step further—that they mus; allow the inhabitants of Cuba to settle their own independence, in the same way, and with the same weapons, by which the American people settled theirs before the close of the last century, at Saratoga, at Yorktown, and a few other similar places. We believe that the new minister to Spain has ample instructions on all the intricate points that future movements in Cuba may bring to light earlier than may be generally supposed. To the inhabitants of Cuba it is ealy necessary for us to say—be united, carry out your arrangements that are already made, and you will have more aid and assistance, more sympathy and good feeling in this country, and in the old world, than you are aware of. Besides, we should not be surprised to see a large portion of the Spanish army in Cuba declaring in your favor, and help to destroy the lingering remnants of Spanish authority in that beautiful, much abused, much misgoverned island. Mysrgries of THE Democracy, AND MADNESS OF Tae Wmas.—The whig journals throughout the country are quite in ecstacies, on account of the fancied irreconcilable disunion of the democratic party in this great State. Well, we declare, these sapient whig journalists will be the death of us. ‘They are the most amusing wretches in existence. ‘They are continually reminding us that they can see as fur into a millstone as anybody; and yet, poor souls, here they are, utterly blind to the real state of political affuurs at this moment. “Heaven be praised!” they exclaim, “there is to be no | union of barnburners and hunkers!”—* The divi- ion was made more decided than ever at Rome !” The rascally democrats have gone to perdition ; so let’s be gay !—let’s be gay.” And off they goin fits of hysterical laughter. Now, who is there at all familiar with the myste- rious character of the democratic party, and can read aright the signs of the times, who does not pletely united, in this State, in the great struggle at the next election’? These rival addresses of the two factiens, and all their fuss and fury at Rome, amount to nothing, and afford no indications of continued disunion. The whig journalists, bless their innocent souls, as usual, reckon entirely with- out their hostin the present instance. Repeatedly as they have been taught that democratic “discord is harmony not understood,” they persist in theirblun- dering disregard of all experience ; and are only awakened to a sense of their folly by receiving the customary periodical licking at the hands of their quarrelsome, squabbling, discordant, disunited op- ponents, who always manage to be affectionate enough on election days. We have not the least doubt that the democrats will carry this State tri- umphantly at the next election. Their defeat in the presidential contest was the result of the deter- mination of Van Buren to kill off General Cass. | In that notable exploit, the barnburners succeeded; and both factions will now assuredly unite and carry all before them, the motives of disunion hav- ing been removed. All will now be free soilers, or anything else, in order to regain ascendency in the State. A few of the leaders of the hunkere will stand out to the last, and make a terrible show ‘of consistency and firmnees. But the masses of ‘the party are at this moment, to all intents and purposes, pertectly united ; and the leaders who hang back, will find it quite convenient and pa- triotic to fall in at the proper time. But the dear, harmlees, unsuspecting, joyful, dunderhended whigs, can’t see all this! At al- most every step, as they blunder along, their shins are broken by the stubborn facts over which they stumble, but they will not be admonished that they are in the wrong track—not they. In one word, the whigs never had tact or common sense enough to measurably behind their opponents in knowledge of human nature and the tactics of party. Here they have, at this moment, at the head of the gene- tal government, a man who possesses, beyond all precedent, perhaps, since the days of Washington himeelf, the elements of universal and enduring pepularity, and yet the fools don’t know how to turn him and his popularity to account! They will be beaten shamefully in this city and State; and, according to all appearances at this moment, break down still more shamefully in the adminis tration of the general government. We believe we must take General Taylor out of the hands of | these blind, blunderng whigs, and put him oa his own platform. No popularity, however well de- ment, hewever sound—could counteract the stu- pidity of a eet of politicians who faney those oppo- nents dead, from whom they are about to receive a fatal kicking; and who flatter themselves that their own party is strong and united, when it is crumbling into fragments. Verily, verily, General ‘Taylor must be got out of the hands of the Philis- tunes. Iurortant Dir.omatic Movewants.—Sarimo ov Tux Srxamsuir Amenica—The Steamship | America, Ceptain Harrison, sailed yesterday noon | for Halifax and Liverpool. In the list of passengers will be found the names of the Hon. D. M. Barringer, Minister | to Spain, lady, and maid servant; Hon. W.C. | Rives, Minister to France, and lady; A. Girard, | bearer of despatches from the French Legation in | Washington ; Julian DePaz, bearer of despatches | from the Spanish Legation at Washington ; Mr. John E. Warren, attaché to the Ameriean Lega- | tion in Madrid; Mr. V. C. Barringer, Mr. Alfred will be commenced by the inhabitants of Cuba themeelves, and it will be conducted and carried | on by them, aided and assisted, as they have a night to be, by bold and adventurous spirits, from | any part of the civilized world. The unimproved wild lands of Cuba would amply repay an army of twenty-five, fifty, or a hundred thousand brave men, to go there and assist the Cubans in effecting heir independence. | Under this view of the matter, it will be seen that the proclamation issned by General Taylor, | wad which took the nation by eurpfise, was proper | enoagh in its way. It does not affect the move- | meat looking to the independence of Caba, com- | meneed and to be carried on principally by the in- | habitants of that island themselves, bat merely | shows the world that we have certain diplomat and national duties to perform, whieh are perferm- ed by that declaration, and that things gust af- terwards take their own course | But there is another view to be taken of the mniter, and it is thie, Fora long time there has been a lurking desire on the part of the British government, stimulated by the British bondhoid- ers, to get hold, in come way, of Cuba, as a gaar- @nty or indemnity for the vast debte which Old Spain owes Britich capitalists. If a successful promunciamento should be issued in Cuba, at an early or later dey, a we believe it will be, itis very probable, and we have good reason to expect, that the Apanish government would call in the of the Britich naval force to put down all the aspira- fons of the inhabitants of Cuba for independence. | Now, in such a dilemma, if the people ef Caba or- gantee a provisional government, and should ealj on the United States government to interfere in their favor, 1s there a President or a esbinet in this country that would dare to refuse such a call, or such interference, asacheck not only to the prolongation of the Spanish dynasty oa this eenti- ment, and over American waters, but as a eheck fe the grasping dieposition of the British govern- ment to get that island noder its eontrol, in eon- Jecetion with the Morquito terntory, and thus ecntrel the commeree of the world? If that erisis should come in the efleirs of Cuba during the pre- Rives, Mr. W.C. Rives, jr., the two Misses Rives, Gen. Baron Jolly, and many others. She only took oul $4,404 in specie. This presents a large display of diplomacy.— There are certainly wndividuale and documents enough on board the A., to be of some moment to | the United States and Spain. Among those who have gone in the Ameri bearer of deapatches from the French Legation, and another from the Spanish Legation at Washington. These despatches are, of course, of importance to this e@ontinent. It is unnecessary, at this time, to speak of the French despatches. When necessary, their character will be made known ; but of those from the Spanish Legation there is much to be said. The recent events in this city, in New Or- | Jeane, in Cuba, the abduction of Rey, the quarrel about the American minister's eervant in Madrid, | the conduct of the Captain General of Cuba, and the decided stand taken by the administration in | regard to Key, which form the text of the Spanish | deepatckes, will give the government of Madrid | an opportunity to refleet on the proposition of the Hon. Romulus M. Saunders, to give $100,000,000 | for Cuba, which they #0 contemptuously toseed ride o short time ago. All there documents will be made public at the proper time, aud these movements come toa head. Then we'll ree. | Morr or Greecey’s Siinvecammontem.—The Tribune, a day or two since, published a ridiea lous statement, that a lady tell overboard from one of the Lake Champlain steamboats, and that the | eaptain declined or refured to stop the boat, and, | if poesible, rescue her. It turned ont that the story | was false, as might be expected. The lady who toade the report wes the identical one who was re- ported overboard, but Greeley swallowed the news, | and heetily transmitted the humbug to the Tribune for publi om. What prece of Slievegammoniam will our Fourierite coternporary indulge in next? “Marine Affaires ‘The ship Catherine, with ber masts fn, will be Huneanian Arrains—Amurican Symratay.— The great mass meeting to sympathize with the people of Hungary in their struggle for indepen- dence and nationality, has, it seems, been postponed tonext week. We fear that an attempt will be made by the socialists and destructives—the same class that ruined the French republic, and, in its train, that of Rome—to throw the worst kind of cold water on this movement of the American peo- ple, eympathizing with the cause of Hungary. We trust that public feeling and common sense will revolt at and put down promptly any attempt to mar or ruin the glorious cause of Hungary, and tkat the people will have nothing to do with so- cialism, connected with this movement, or with Shevegammonism, or mere paltry contributions. Lock at the result of the Irish movement in this city. It was taken hold of by the socialist de- structives in this city, and those who are really so, without professing its doctrines. They knew the popular feeling in favor of Ireland among the Ameri- can people; but not content with the natural working of that feeling, they must fabricate intelligence and forge news, such as the Shevegammon stuff. With the countenance of a distinguished dignitary of the Catholic church, who has eaten and thrown up his Irish opinions half a dozen times in as many years, they contrived to collect the sum of thirty five thousand dollars, and who knows what has become of the meney? Who knows? Where is itt Ay! where i it? It is generally believed that many of the subscriptions were returned. We have heard that His Lordship Bishop Hughes re- ceived back his five hundred dollars, and others may have received theirs also. Did Greeley get his $500 back? The expenses of a foolish expe- dition to Montreal were also paid out of it, and some of it has run away to California. Now, if the Hungarian movement is to be man- aged under the influence of such men, and in the same way as the Irish Slievegammon movement was conducted, it will materially injure the glorious cause of Hungary, instead of benefitting it. What the Hungarians want is not paltry contributions of twenty, fifty, or a hundred thousand dollars. They are a nation—a great people; they have had their own legislature and their own independence for centuries. A recognition by the American government of their existence as an independent nation, would do them more good than all the paltry contributions that could be made. Look at the course of things in England. They have taken up the Hungarian cause in a proper manner. It is true they have made some contributions, but that is not what the Hungarians want. They want the nationality of Hungary recognised by the British government, and then she can effect a loan to maintain her existence, independent of Russia or Austria, for ever after. In every movement, in every step taken, in every feeling indicated, the American people ought to persuade the slow- inoving, time serving, thumb-twirling cabinet at Washington, to come up to the mark like men, and counsel the President, who is always ready him- self, to recognise Hungarian nationality at once, and put themselves before the wrorid in that inde- pendentattiiude. Such a course would have more unfluence on the Hungarian cause than all other movements put together of a mere popular cha- racter. It would aid the Hungarians in Eurepe— in France and England, where they want to nego” tiate a loan. But above all things, socialism must be kept out of the proposed movement. Its effects, God knows, have been disastrous enough in France and ia Rome, without extending them to Hungary, where socialiem would certainly do as much injury to the popular cause as it has effected in those countries. Thanks to the genius of the American people, that destructive theory can never geta foothold in this country ; and while they are freed from its baneful influence, they should exert themselves to prevent its polluting the cause of nationality in Hungary, to the extent of their ability. Avurmsrration or Justice — Astor Piace KIoTERS, AND THE BLoopy Textn or May.—No } trial, yet, of the rioters at Astor Place—no expla- nation of the delay of justice—no more arrests—no eflort, even, to excuse the neglect—not a syllable on the subject from the District Attorney—all tileat as the grave which received the victims of | those deadly vollies! How is this? Whence | comes it, that, in a case of such extraordinary magnitude, involving the most serious considera- tions, and affecting so intimately the character of our city and the whole country, this unparalleled | neglect has occurred? Who are the authors of | t lelay? On whose heads rests the grave re- sponsibility of this maladministration of public justice? It is a grend mistake to suppose that the transac- tions of the memerable night of the Tenth of May ten, by this community. A studied effort has in- deed been made to ject, by the authorities, and portions of the press | of the city. But that awful tragedy made too deep an impression to be soon effaced. The people | are not to be deceived and duped in this business. | Although every journal in New York, except that one whose columns we control, has bsen dumb in reference to the inexplicable and mysterious delay | of justice in this case, yet the public has not been 80 indifferent. Among all classes, except those in- terested in maintuini ind defeating i vestigation, there is a very strong feeling of ind nant surprise that not one step has yet been taken to follow up the action of the Grand Jury, who in- dicted the persons arrested on the night of the | Tenth of May, charged with participating in the riot which preceded the slaughter of twenty-five | citizens, and the wounding and maiming of up- wards of fifty others. This feeling grows stronger and stronger every day; and, if it did not exist, we should indeed have reason to blush for the charae- ter of this city. | Why this delay? In the sacred name of justice, | why do her ministers i this city thus neglect ther | duty? Month efter month hag passed away, and yet we have had no movement towards a judicial | mvestigation in this case. We call upon the Diss trict Attorney to clear his skirts in this extraordi- nary business. Does he fancy that he is exempt from public censure for his ehare in this culpable neglect of public duty? Why have not the persons indicted been brought to trial? Is our Grand Jury | system a mockery? Have we regularly consti- tated judicial tnbunals? Is this a community of law and order t or, have we relapsed into a system of feudal despotiemt Are our municipal anthori- ties afraid of a trial of these rioters at the Court of Seseions 1 Does the Mayor shrink froma legal investigation of this ease, as he ehrank from duty on the night ot the Tenth of May? What fearful secrets are they, behind the curtain, which it is feared these trials might reveal? Why this delay? | Why this dread? Why thie ominous silence? | Mr. Distriet Attorney McKeon, we await your | answer! | Barney, Capt. Langeton, we are in receipt of files | of the British Packet to the 30th of June. We annex the following items of news from the above | journal:-— The Houre of Representatives has voted a1 toH.E, to his inet en} li review of every important topic d upon in that memorable exposé of the state of the affaire cf the republic tm general and of the pro- deem it proper to f met with the fw The intimatos intrusive government of Mon- tevideo to the Notables to relinqnieh their enlled forth rome expression of angry feeling in at bedy on the (th instant. to roeh « degree, it wonld | . that an open ruptore between those mock great not at all oniikely. trevii | paper pabliched in| ‘of the diseovery of Jaunebed to-day at about one o'eloek, from the yard of WH. Webb, foot of Sixth street, Rast Rives, of oid all allusion to the sub- | Late yrom Buenos Aynrs.—By the Mason y; Sreaxoz Sentiments ov 4 Puriapecruia Jour- waList.—There is a paper published in Philadel- phia, called the Public Ledger, which always pre- tends to be very much in favor of first principles in liberty and religion, when the application of these principles can be made in a far away place and at adistant day. That journal denounces the wish of the people of Cuba for independence as ‘a con- spiracy, whose object is separation from Spain—a conspiracy of a band of fraudulent bankrupts—a conspiracy for hatching war between America and Spain”—and everything else that 1s vile and abo- minable. Now, this is exactly in keeping with the tone and temper of the tories of the last century, who denounced the American revolution in its in- fancy. That wasa ‘ conspiracy,” to throw over- board the tea in Boston harbor. That was a ‘“‘con- spiracy” to seat the British, and throw off the yoke of the English despot. That was a “ conspiracy,” to defeat the enemy at Suratoga. That was a « conspiracy,” to declare the independence of the colonies, and to convene the old Congress in this very city of Philadelphia. Its utterly disgraceful to the character of Phila- delphia, that such a dastardly assault should be made upon the cause of popular liberty in Cuba by one of its journals. It was but the other day that a most enthusiastic meeting was held in Philadelphia, for the purpose of expressing the ardent sympathies of her citizens for the brave Hungarians, who are struggling to be free ; and yet here is a journal is- sued there, which thus insolently ventures to ma- lign ard execrate the newly awakened movement ig favor of freedom which has developed itself in Cuba! The publication of such despotic senti- ments, such cold-blooded toryism, is just in keep- ing with the character of the paper in which they appear—the common sewer of all men’s opinions, at full advertisement prices, but generally the woret opinions at the highest rates. ARRIVAL OF THE Stoop or War Dax, with Caurrornia Gop Dust.—The sloop of war Dale, Capt. Rudd, arrived off this port, yesterday after- noon, from San Francisco, via Valparaiso. She left the former place on the 12th of March, and was 55 days in making the passage to Valparaiso, The Dale, which, according to report, was to bring gold to the value of $1,500,000, brought only $220,000. This finds its explanation, however, in thg fact, that she sailed at the end of the winter, when little had been done at the mines, because of cold and snow. Some of the $220,000 was proba- bly left at Valparaiso. The Hon. Seth Barton, late Charge d’Affuirs of the United States near the government of Chili, has returned home in the Dale, with his family. It will be recollected that he married a Chilian lady, which greatly offended the Archbishop of Santiago, and led to difficulties with the Chilian government, till, finally, Mr. Barton demanded his passports, and took passage in the Dale. The legation was not closed, except in regard to the questions pending. These were left where they were, for the rrceent; but the duties of act» ing charge were in the hands of William G. oorhead, Eeq., United States Consul at Valpa- Taiso. a The Dale will probably come up to the eity to- jay. No Ruxnino Away 4 Seconp True, Mr. Mayor! —We understand that some of the socialists are negotiating with the Mayor, in order to induce him to preside at the Hungarian meeting which is to take place next week. If these amiable and phi- lanthropic gentlemen succeed in this grand effort in diplomacy, we trust that they will put in an ex- press stipulation that his Honor will not run away before the termination of the meeting !
