Rolling out of his nest, his first im- de irendo, in ren efora at impowrible regeneration, and that cach | pute wasto grab us by the thoat, believe judging for a commision de Ma erin ase on We translate the following highly important do- eument from proof sheets with which we have been favered in advance :— x: TO THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. Events which are not to be discussed here, errors and misfortunes which we will examine at another tame, have come to overthrow violently the toileome eombination which was to have brought liberty to @aba, and to disturb the mind of all the good pa- riots who had placed theirjhopes in the projected movement. Since our combated revolution has re- eeived such and go oft repeated reverses, it was le- gitimate and very justifiable to desire to know in aD their details the immediate causes of that new Paisacter,so.asto guard against their repetition in {wture, and to ask an account in the proper quarter ‘of the immense and grievous sacrifices sustained. Reasons of high convenience, which the Cuban Junta have already sufficiently explained, have ne- eessitated the appearance, brief, without doubt, of a public manifestation of these deplorable causes; but there is no reacon why—on the contrary, everything wmduces to it—concentrating public opinion anew, we should not endeavor to define the present situa- tion, and ascending to higher and more general con- siderations, demand from the study of the past les- sons and gnarantees for the future. To satisfy that double exigency, this document is issued. "Whey are much deceived who think that with the misfortunes oustained our revolution has died; they are also much deceived who imagine that it has ex- perienced a very grave reverse. To concede either wapposition, it would be necessary to ignore com- pletely the vitality which exists in principles, or to Mieunderstand the special stimuli which operate upon the revolutionary sentiment in Cuba. It would be necessary to magnify excessively the importance ef the acts which have transpired, and to falsify their im@uence over the march and the progress of our fature operations. The revolution of our country is cemented on one side in the barbarous and oppressive system which ‘eas enslaved it for centuries, and on the other in the progressive knowledge which its inhabitants have been acquiring of their rights, of the justice which agsiste them, and of the benefits which are to be ex- peeted when that power is annihilated and that op- preseion overthrown—so that the energy of the mo- tives which gave the first impulse to the determin: § tion of the Cubans, being still existing, or rath g imereasing constantly, the fundamental base of our Patriotic and noble undertaking is still the more strengthened and fortified by its very reverses. ‘We must not confound the revolution which its Tous sous, promise days of fory. and happiness fr Tous souls, promi ‘y8 of their enslaved country. The Temembrauce of so much blood and tears that have been shed. the re- reo ne who are still waiting for = hour apotheoals, so many family ties rent, so much grief, oppression and misery—here are mo- tives, more than sufficient, why the chariot of the revolution, once set in motion, should not stop for a single instant, but that rather, if neces- sary, and if abandoned by the entire world, casting everything behind us, and of consequences, we should, in one su bye day of enthusiasm, rush hand to hand agains e tyrant who degrades us. That is the most noble, most worthy and most heroic resolution that can be taken by the free man of Cuba. To prepare for that with faith, and in concert, and in struction from past errors, is the first counsel of an elevated and foreseeing policy. When the momen of a bold initiative on the part of Chbans shal have arrived, it will bring with it all the feelings o this country, putting an end to the indecisi which were not only a delay, but an insy le ob stacle to the final success of our 0] We have entire faith and full confidence in the indivi vidual sympathies of the American people, who, though absorbed to-day in the irritating debates of their internal interests, would not, in such a case, allow liberty to perish for want of co-operation. But is that the whole? Is the pointing out of this last and highest necessity the Sale, fruit which we can derive from the study of past and present events? We believe not; and at the same time that our revo- lution must not slacken a little in the path which its interests, its dignity, and the ency of the danger which encircle it point out, we think that it accords with our mission and our duty to meditate simulta- neously other combinations, and even to accept any other solution which, while preserving intact the social existence and the honor, may guarantee the rights, the independence, and. the liberty of our country. It would not be the first time that the in- tervention of the high Powers which stand at the head of the nations, would have concerted their common efforts to drive back the monster of inter- national discord and conflicts; nor would there ever have been a more propitious or urgent opportunity for settling on solid and durable 3 the future peace of the world. From Spain Cuba has rothiug to expect, unless, indeed, the increase of the evils and the oppression in which she groans. Her past acts, and the horri- ble reality of her present conduct, sufficiently attest that. Nor are there any extremes to which Spain cannot be driven by the stimulus of wounded pride and manifest impotence. She is resolved to close the history of her ominous domination in Ame- rica with the perfidy of the most barbarous decree, notwithstanding the protests, always false, of her ministers and her Cortes, and which are due, on this occasion, to suggestions of the moment, and to the fears inspired by the threatening attitude of our preparations. On the other hand, what power has Spain, evenif she wish- ed, to keep back the inexorable consequences of the measures already set on foot in Cuba, and which are only suspended—by no means revoked? Or how can she longer resist_the pressure exercised over her by public opinion in Europe, and by the political in- stratlon—The TripariKe Treaty, support which it eo much re for success.

The few Cubans, who, in good or bad faith, aided Spain in that Machiavellian movement, will in pro- time owe a strict account to the country for the pportuneness of their co-operation. re was time enough afterwards to discuss the merits of an- nexation, considered as the end of our toils; the only consideration then was the means concerted to accumulate material and moral powers against the tyranny of Spanish domination; and it is not con- ceivable that that being the dominant and primary object which animated all, there could have been no friend of our revolution who would frustrate it with an opposition as imprudent as it was premature. Certain it is, that on one side calumniation of the motives and object of our enterprise planted ina foreign soil, and on the other the excitation of sen- timents which will always preserve their empire in the human heart, were counter principles employed to combat in its vulnerable side the revolutiona: rogramme of 1848. Lopez and his heroic band, The numerous Cuban vic! sacrified since on the terrible scaffold, still sleep in obscure graves, withou the universal sympathies of the surprised and shocked world having come to console their noble and patriotic shades. pabsye: also—and mel ae hee speek mithest disguise—the gerat ope of an co- OF ris comme from petra may have influenced dleadvanta ously the maintenance and kindling in the soul of that ane and iter which wa 80 necessary for people to ire onor and dig- nity, the prniena ead of freedom. Without that very important consideration, some grievous events which took place in Cuba, and facilitated to our ene- mies the Gy rtunities for new calumnies and impos- tures, would still remain unexplained. But even as it was, notwithstanding all this, our combated enterprize would have Leia Ligh were it not for anomalous and unforseen o! les_ which have arisen against it in the very land where it came to seek at least a favorable neutrality. It isan event which will remain marked in history for shame and confusion, by the detractors of the American govern- ment, that in the midst of most propitious cireum- stances, and even of most inexcusable provocations by the Spanish authorities, notwithstanding the most perfect accord between self interest and the vindica- tion of its outraged honor, it still resisted temptation, and did not only not favor, but did not conceal the plans which were being formed here, within the range of the law, to overthrow the common enemy. eae, the truth must be told. The greatest enemy that the Cuban revolution had, it has always met in the administrations of this country, whatever may have been the political color of their elevation to power. Hence the nepenied embargoes and confisca- tions of our means of action; hence their searches and persecutions; hence, also, the constant espionage and the denunciation of our movements, which have more than once frustrated the best laid combinations against the oppressors of our country. That such conduct should absolve the government of the nation from every ambitious view towards Cuba, or that it should preserve its honor before an impartial people, of the motives which dictated it, is a thing which cannot be conceded without serious uncertainty.

Spain as resolved that the misfortune of the island shall remain for ever sealed; and it must ‘rremediably be 80 in consequence of her hatreds, her engagements and her weakness. It would be, pechaps, sufficient that this should be weighed and meditated by the inhabitants of Cuba—to receive at the proper mo- ment a solution in harmony with acquired and under the outside protection and shelter to which she may with certainty aspire—to enable the present generation to acquire, without it risk or eae the longed for good of political indepen- nce. But our ambition should be directed to the highest ends; and after past deceptions we should neither confide anew our salvation to the sup; of a single e, hor to the co-operation of a sole and particu- alliance. We know how to interest the whole world in the providential work of our revolation, now that it contains in its breast the gravest solu- tions which the civilization of the age impatiently expects, and these may be messengers of peace for the political future of the nations of the earth. The murderous cannon would not now be thunder- ing before the walls of Sebastopol, mor would the blood of the peoples be flowing in torrents, if the principle of political equilibrium which the struggle proclaims had to be limited to the conservation of the European statu quo. The Anglo-French alliance has an origin anterior to the Eastern conflicts, and a significancy vaster and more comprehensive in the destinies of the universe; and it may be that the sources of the Cuban revolution and the threats in- volved in it of aggrandizement for the American Union, were the first inspirations of that league which to-day darkens men’s minds with the ni- tude of its extension. At least it may be said that the refusal of the Cabinet of Washington to sub- scribe the tripartite treaty, while it confirmed the tendencies of its ill. ‘ised ambition, had also the effect of strengthening the rivalries of all the maritime powers, and of making closer, if not producing, the entente between France and Eng- land, in the crusade which they meditated in favor of the political balance of the two hemispheres. it treaty, on account of its unjust und restrictive contents in reference to the revolutionary principle in Cuba, ought to be the object of marked censure for all generous hearts, particularly as it appeared to ye fect, under a crafty concealment, the impreseri ible rights of its inhabitants. On the other hand, to be a fundamental solution of all the complications, which meres in the future, it should have trans- formed into a principle of foresight that which was alone an effort of conservation unworthy of the high Powers which conceived it: For the three most power- ful nations of the earth to maintain de facto, though not de jure, despotism and barbarity in the middle of the nineteenth century, is an idea which is repug- nant to the most elemental notions of humanitarian justice and enlightenment; but it also presents a pal- pable demonstration of what the interest of a petty and exclusive policy may lead the most eminent statesmen to. All praise he to that nation which by its repulse, was able to disconcert the inevitable ten- dencies of the project! And if its authors pro) any other object, they would have succeeded better had they, entering upon the path of justice and anti- cipating events, combined a convention which, while recolvin; pending difficulties, would have gaarded against those which the continuation of the barba- ped Spanish system in Cuba reserves for the fu- ure. , Perhaps it was rash to suppose at that time pos- sible the common concurrence of the three great the means and plans concerted for its realization. These plans may be openly resorted to at any of their epochs, just in proportion as the revolution vedoubles its activity, acquiring from its very veverses greater strength and new powers in its strife with tyranny. If other proofs of this truth Were wanting, Cuba herself would offer irrefutable proofs of it, in the history of the past years; and if ‘we desired to paint in a few words the different Peases of that increase of convictions and moral nergy, produced by the very disasters which have been suffered in our country, we might say, with af propriety, that they consist in this, that previous to 1848 it was a simple plot--in 1850 and '51 it was & conspiracy, to reach in 1855 the height of a real reyolntion. That logical, inexorable march, proceed ing from the development of ideas, the tyrant could mot interrupt, but on the contrary precipitated, thereby offering a new demonstration of the fact, that im proportion as their victories were multiplied they hhad always to increase their material means of as sistance. In Cardenas and Puerto Principe the op- position was made by a few detachments. Ther whole army was employed in the Vuelta Abajo; and this year, when they dreaded new battles, they did Rot hesitate to place in arms the most unusual ehl ment, believing themselves still insecure, notwith- standing the co-operation of powerful alliances abroad. Is it thus that revolutions succumb or re- rograde? that key of the Mexican gulf, the RORERPALCAL stra- tegical and commercial exigencies on which depend its future greatness, would remain unsatisfied. But that clear and universal intuition of the value and Hales it) of our territory, in ascending from the individual sphere to the councils of the federal rep- resentation to be interpreted into executive acts, arrives there debilitated and obscured by the clashing of political parties and the strife of the interests of the house, which dispute among themselves prepon- derance in the bosom of the national Congress. Cuba always appears at a distance, but each time more in- volved among the mist arising from internal agita- wens 80 prolific in the parliamentary history of the inion. Besides, this is no time for deception. This giant people, in the developementof its internal strength and resources, is deficient in fixity of el trey and reso- lution in the march of foreign policy. It might be said, on looking at the vacillations and speculations of its pena ee it still wishes to grow and strength- en more, before promulgating its thought and its will before the assembly of nations. Therefore the Cuban ficesien has been for all administrations, without distinction of party, the touchstone of its incipiency and inaptitude for the debates of in ternational policy. And if past administrations can find no excuse for this, in their political antecedents and the conservas tive eed which they represent, for the hostili- ty which they displayed against the efforts of the Cu- ban revolutionists, still lesscan any excuse be formed for the present administration, which owed its elec tion to the most democratic and progressive ele- ments, and to the most solemn engagements in favor of the cause of our country.
