‘The Cuban Question and the Cuban Invasion. ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Wasuinaron, Dec. 30, 1852. In the recent debate in the United States Senate, on Mr. Mason's resolution, the expedition for the re_ lief of Cuba under General Lopes, and what is term. ed Gilibusterism, was denounced as dishonorable, and for robbery and plunder; and numerous letter-writers and declaimers indulge in the same strain of vitupera- tion—indeed, it is quite the fashion to rail against + filibusteriam, and class it with robbery and piracy. This defames the dead, and is unjust to the survivors of the most gallant and glorious expedition of the It is fal:e in fact. There was not one of the 450 men who embarked with General Lopez on the Pam- 8 nation to produce a general hout the island, that he expressed to his that all he wanted was to be Enaet with twenty men and place | of the revolution. land with 450 men was just as certain to land with twenty men, if they were | assisted by the people of Cuba; and he well knew as not for him.

Say that they | and deceived, that is no reason ey motives should be impugned, and their dee It is easy to say that the Cubans did not wish the | ‘aid of Lopez and his companions, and that they did | not join him. It must be evident that this assertion refuted by showing when, how, and | the conspiracy was conducted, and it extended. But this much may be stated, news to the Spanish authorities, that pez, before he left New Orleans, on ugust, 1851, fully expected a rising on west end of the island; and that on the 7th all his principal adherents were arrested, the roads were patrolled, the villages and towns garrisoned, and ar- nts made for the quick transmission of in- mee; and then false information was sent to General Lopez, near Key West; that the Vuelta Abaja was under arms, and thus he was deceived, nd the dungeons, and guard-rooms, and two thou- sand mers, and the panic of a detected conspi- racy, show why no Cubans joined his standard. i's government which suspicion is conviction, and which has a vigilant espionage, bribery, confis- cation, the dungeon, the Legere and torture— as its agents, is all-powerful to defeat conspiracy. Ne ding all these disadvantages, and the lose of the lamented Crittenden and his massacred companions, the brave old general, with a force re- duced to less than three hundred and fifty men, de- feated, day after dax, the thousands of the regular of Spain, and finally, when attacked by the pee on one side, and the infantry on the other, repulsed both attacks, drove the enemy before him, and slew General Enna, the highest military com- mander on the island. For seventeen days this little band kept the enemy at bay—they killed and wound- ed upwards of fifteen hundred of their assailants, and, still unconquered in any fight, they were com- | led to surrender when their ammunition was ex- jausted, and the get dere rendered their muskets unfit for service. bbery and plunder do not do these extraordinary and glorious deeds. One fact, characteristic of General Lopez, should be recorded, as stated by a youth of fourteen years of age, 3 in the expedition. “‘We had been ——- said he, ‘for a day or so, without an attacked; we saw no one, but occasionally we woul: find a bullock tied to a tree by the road side; about the fifteenth day we found a beef in a grove, and im- mediately prepared for dinner. We had not been long before I, who had been sent out as a vidette, saw a large body of.cavalry approaching rapidly. I tried to fire my musket, but it would not go off, but by running and hallooing I gave the alarm. Just as T reached them, our boys had seized their arms, and as the cavalry charged every man fired, and the enemy were repulsed—but they had rushed nearly on us; a8 they fell back, General Lopez dashed into | their ranks, and seized a Spanish trooper and dragged | HE fl 5 7 ef g aye —as it would—evaded the blockade there, from the Pacific to the Gulf, and thence to New | of the medical institution of Yale College, died at Norwich, Sia oi be entirely cut off by Jamaica, Hayti | Coun., on the 11th inst. an uba. tle in six hours. strange, or at variance with the practice of England, if it was done. with the European and, if they did not, a foolish or malignant President would show them—and at the same time they con- ceal theirs. that England had tak that, with all possible more and his whole cabinet, and his recent allies, i pendence ? tl were not a disarmed ple; every important point Was not garrisoned; fee, D ate he es hibited; they had the press, and the town meeting, and the assembly; and their industry was not taxed, | or very slightly so; and, in fine, they did not groan | wretches have found it difficult to obtain admission him into our ranks.

Immediately the old General led us in full run to reach the hill, which | we did before the Spaniards; we fired and rushed on | them, and drove them before us. killed General Enna.” I have a copy of the general | order of march of the Spanish army, in five divisions, | at that day. The fall of General Enna paralyzed them, the double repulse checked them, and if on that day five hundred well armed Americans had been landed at Bahia Honda, under a dashing Amer- | ican officer, in one week the whole Spanish army | would have token refuge under the guns of Havana, | the country would have been cleared, the Cubans | would have flocked to the standard of treedom, and | the reyolution would have been accomplished. They ought to have been there. it may suit the policy of European despots to try and becloud this most unparalleled achievement of American arms by opprobrious epithets, and by say- ing that Lopez’s men were armed with superior | rifles and Colt’s revolvers. Such is not the fact. ‘They were armed with two-dollar muskets, and but very few had a rifle or a revolver, and they were scantily supplied with fixed ammunition. : But, certainly, it does no honor to any American, however high in station, to calumniate in so _un- founded a manner the sons of our own soil. They should bear in mind that they are outraging the com- mon sense and gencrous impulses of our whole peo- ple, and, further, that one hundred thousand bold, energetic, intelligent, and enterprising men, will | mark them for al! time totome. The Masons of the revolution, and the Colonel Cass of 1312, would have | scorned the defamation of our bold and gallant young men, especially ata time and in a manner which savours more of heartless intrigue for selfish pur- poses than a high appreciation of national dignity and honor. Is it that General Cass, who has mounted every hobby warhorse for years past, without much success, now wishes to try his Iuck on a hobby mul Or is it intended to embarrass the incoming adminis- tration in relation to that most delicate of all sub- jects, our foreign relations? But probably those denunciations are intended to deter the exiled Cubans who have sought refuge us, and those who are supposed to sympathize with them. We know but little of the designs of the Cubans, either at home or among us. But of this gentlemen may be assured, that there is not one connected with any movement in the future, who does not believe that the Creole Cubans, m masse, and many of the Spaniards identified with island, are anxious to assert their liberties, and will do so whenever they can obtain assistance enough to cut the cords with which their arms are bound. But when those cords are cut, all know that the Cubans themselves must fight the battles and maintain the war. That they will do so I have no doubt. : In addition to the general belief that Cuba is ripe and ready for revolution, there are other reasons ope- rating on the minds of many which did not exist | when Gen. Lopez embarked for Cuba. The massacre of Crittenden and his men, has sunk deep into the | hearts of the American people. It is believed that this gallant soldier and fi noble companions, who, when led out in parcels, surrounded by the Spanish soldiery, and a savage mob, and the bloody, and stil! and writhing bodies of their mardered | m, still shouted (defiance at their bloody assassins—never did searemder at discretion. Those | who knew Crittenden, Miam, aad the brave boys who went from New Orleans, have always thought that nothing but extreme privation could ever have in- | duced to surrender except on terms of capita- | lation, if then. If such was not the case, why were | they taken to Havana? = The orders were peremptory that no quarter should be given. Why did Concha, when they arrived, debar them from all intercourse, and, flaunting the pro- clamation of Fillmore in the faces of those who inter- for even delay, in violation of the precepts of umanity, hasten their execution; and, even when they were permitted to write a few words to their friends and relations, compel them to do so in half an hour, under the eye of the Spanish officers and gol- diers’ ba; Hecently. it” is intimated, from a very reapectable source, and well informed, that evidence might yet be obtained that Col.

Now it is appalling to think what would be the effect on the vastly expended operations of the North, of even a temporary cessation of the supply of gold from California. In the face of these things, it will not do for Sena- tors to become top-loftical about our determination not to let any other nation have Cuba—and, oh! “Cuba we will have,” and then taper off with “when we can get it with the consent of Spain, or the Cu- bans themselves acquire their independence and de- sire annexation.” which will ever happen. When we consider the stubbornness of the Spanish character—its tenacity of territory, the it anxiety with which Spain clings to Cuba—the of all her unbounded realms discovered by Colambus—and, not least, the publication of the abortion correspondence under President Polk, for the purchase of the island, we must be satisfied that there is not the least hope of our making a successful negotiation with Spain. It will deceive many if a negotiation can ever be opened. But if Spain should consent, will France and England consent? We will get that answer when another vane is hoisted at Havana.

We play the game of politics at great disadvantagé powers; they see our cards— Now, in spite of all this gas, how do we stand. The answer to our refusal to entertain the tripartite treaty was, that England surrounded Cuba with a cordon of war steamers, under pretence of sup- pressing the slave trade, and France occupied Sa- mana under pretence, I suppose, that she wanted to do so. Suppose that tomorrow news should arrive en possession of Cuba, and rade and bluster, Mr. Fill- should call on the British minister for an explana- tion; what would be the cool reply? ‘‘ Why, gentle- men, we wanted Cuba, you wanted Cuba; but we, to conciliate matters, p1 it, this our national right and take it,athing you would have done if you had sense enough.” roposed that neither should have refused, and we felt at liberty to exercise Can the people of Cuba, unaided, achieve their in- The thirteen colonies which founded great nation could not have done so; and they communication was not pro- under one millionth part the tyranny and oppression which r Cuba suffers. But it is said that the colonies struck for freedom and then it was glorious to aid them. This will not do—it would appear that these old fogies are so old that they have forgotten their ool lessons, and the first pages of the history of their own country. If they will look into the matter, they will find that before the revolutionary war commenced that glori- ous old filibustre, Ben Franklin, and others, were | guilty of filibusterism in France, Holland, Prussia, and, you may say, all over Europe, preparing mater- | ial aid for the day they knew would come; and when the war begun, individual communities, and even na- tions at peace with England, fillibu the colonies obtained arms, ami men, and officers to discipline their raw battalions. According to these modern doctrines, all this was a raseally piece of business, but such, I submit, has not been the judgment of history. ‘ition, clothing, But let us examine this proposition according to the standard of political morality. If a people are oppressed to a certain extent, which leaves them control enough of their energies and means to make resistance, and they do so, then it is glorious to aid them. are tightened down upon them so that they cannot resist, then it is infamous and dishonorable to assist them, even to rise to the point where their own and means might save them. If a man in the hands of robbers has his limbs free, and fights to save himself, then it is noble to rescue him; but if he is chained and bound so that he cannot move his legs or his arms then it isa most monstrous outrage to lend him a file, or to cut the cords which bind him. | To say the least, this moral arithmetic does not suit our day. Not less untenable is the effort under Fill- more’s proclamation to cast odium on the exiled Cubans who have sought refuge amongst us, and who have uot yet given up the hopes of achieving the in- dependence of their native land. Exiled by tyrants, they are driven into obscurity, and compelled al- most to hide themselves from tyranny here; for, poor fellows, they do not know what little weight a weak | and unpopular President | outra in this country when he public itiment and the generous im- pulses of the people. Let us take a short paragraph of history.

They marched inthe night by devious paths, and, by an ingenious manouvyre, seized one of the gates of Thebes. They rushed to the market place raised the shout of liberty, called the people to arms stormed the citadel, and freed their country from in tolerable bondage. And, further, Thebes rose to a higher pitch of prosperity and renown under these same fillibusters than she ever attained before or after; and the name of that noble fillibuster, Epaminonidas, stands second to that of Washington. What has been the judgment of posterity on this fillibuste 0 History is full of similar examples, and never, un- | til recently, and that too in our land, the very child of fillibusterism, has it been asserted that the exile, driven by tyranny from his native land, commits a wrong when he seeks to restore the liberties of his country.

Sally Mamanash, died in Northampton, Mass., says the Hampshire Gazette, on the 8d inst., aged 88 years. She was the last of the Indian race in Northampton. Her father’s grave-stone stands alone in a field, near the pine grove on the plain, with this inscription—< Joseph Mama- nash died May, 1767, aged 40 years.”” Her mother, who died in 1780, aged 60, was Elizabeth Occom, of Mohegan, deat sister of Rey.

It es that Dr. A. R. Wilson, a citizen of Des Are, knowing the character of Dixon, sed a rather free opinion of this individual, who, upon hearing the same, assaulted the doctor, beating him most brutally. Dr. Wilson the same day procured a gun and shot Dixon, iz him instantly. The case was examined before a magistrate, when Dr. Wilson was discharged. Tax on DoGs.—The town of Hartford. Conn., has voted to apt y to the Legislature for a law taxing dogs. It is said tl hat the great objection to keeping sheep in Connecticut is their destruction by doy: and it is hoped that a tax upon them will diminish the number of worthless curs, while owners of valu- able animals will be willing to pay a tax for the sake of having them recognized as property. Two thou- sand dollars worth of sheep are said to have been killed by dogs in West Hartford in the last two or three years. A Map Hor: A horse. a few days since, was bitten by a rabid dog, in St. Louis county, Mo., upon the lips of the upper and lower jaw. For some time very little notice was taken of it, but when the horse began to show symptoms of the disease he was put in a large lot, where he remained for several days before he died, and in the meantime, the pa- sms of madness were terrible. He tore off, on and trough, the whole side of his face which received the wound id tore and bit off the flesh from his bones in every part of his body that could be reached.
