THE HORRORS OF REVOLUTION—AN APPEAL FOR PEACEABLE ANNEXATION TO THE UNITED STATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Dear Sin—I have read the article in your pape of the 12th instant, communicated by Mr. Porfiris Valiente, and as a planter, and a representative of the sentiments of five hundred more, I beg to differ with him in the manner of obtaining the indepeu- “dence of Cuba. a " A revolution once established in that island, would blot it our forever from the list of civilized countries, and in a few years it would become as barbarous as | St. Domingo. Whatmore honor, what more glory, can he or ary of us aspire to than that our beloved island, should add another star to the bright constel- lation of this glorious republio—that we should be- come freemen? Suppose for a moment that the people of Cuba were composed evtirely of whites, even then a revolution woud sppoe. ae how can ay te de- ed by oppression and tyranny, accus' a tna Sacelioe qocrapidn in jek department of gov ernment, know or appreciate \iberiy/ No, sir; ao people can form a republic without sume precedenta | { of # liberal goverament, as the history of this, the only true republic, will show. Eveu suppoming a re- volation should be successful, we should oaly be changing masters; fer the people, who, with but few exceptions, are ignorant and corrupted, would be- come but mere tools in the hands of ambitious men; but a revolution in the island of Cuba would present a picture mere terrible than the wildest fancy could describe. Our slaves, incited by the present government, would, after destroying our estates, and, horribile dctu! violating our wives and Cee symecerey tor- turing us to death, turn upon those w. nd a war of caate and color would ensue.

Cuba, sunexed to these United States, will be ia America, from its geographical position, what England is in Earope. Its agricultural resources are immense, for three-fourths of its fiuest lands are still in virgin forests. I truly belicve that slave owners in this country would find it to their interest to take their slaves to Cuba, and that Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland, ina few years, would become free States, caused by the immigration of slaves from those States to Cuba. | _ T would give my life’s blood @ thoneand times for the liberty and happiness of Cuba and my Nec men, but I sincerely believe, hy trying to obtain the | independence of Cuba “ vi et armis,” we should leave nothing but anarchy anda heap of rains ard | asheaasa heritage to our children.
