We do not wish to stigmatize that document, and will keep from our lips every word that, although,do.ng it jus- tice, might appear insulting. We wish only truth to shine forth brilliantly, were it only but once, with regard to tho affairs of Cuba, in epite of the force which here oppresses and overwhelms us. Tt ig painful to us, and to whosoever values the dignity of man, to ve obliged to sign an address wherein, amidst ardent protestations, sentiments contrary to the ideas set forth there are perceptible. The document referred to was planned by the Capiain General, D. José de la Concha, whose hostile sentiments towards the Union it is superfluous to enlarge upon. The members of the Ayuntamiento are ouly culpable for its unworthy form. » As goon as it was planned a public invitation was ad @reesed to all citizens to sign it, and it is well known that 4 a despotically governed country such an invitation is equivalent to an order, Weobey here with the con- sciousness of there being no right, and with the conviction of force ruling over us. Who refuses obedience to a chief of bandite, at whose mercy he finds himself ? We need not exculpate ourselyes with regard to an act which js not our own, because it is forced upon us; we well know tbat it is considered in this tight, and that all of us foresee what immense difficulties will be involved in resigtance to such an act of odious violence. 5 ‘The world is well aware of the impossibility for a civil- ized country to willingly accept the Spanish rule, and it moreover understands that a rich pale, whose are awakened by afreeand powerful nation, can- not cheerfully acquiesce in being kept down by an abgo- lute government which science condemns, nations hold in horror, and men execrate; by a form of government which by the very mon who rule the destiny of the island has been combatied on the battle field and in the political tribune; theso men, in their ardor to vanquish it, going even to the extremity of forgetting their oaths and tread- ing in the odious path of treason. nsequently, an address wherein a people emit ideas condemned by science as the product of an erring reason ‘only gerves to prove to what point the debagement of a position may arrive when the lips pronounce and accept and the hand signs what the heart curses and the reason condems. Disregarding these sensible considerations, permit us to offer you the loyal support of all Cubans for the realiza- tion of the great idea spoken out in your message, 80 violently attacked in public and eo cheerfully accepted in secret. The idea of annexation fs just and great, under whatever point of view it may be considered. A great and powerful nation hears from beyond its shores tho murmor of the fountains, the gong of the birds, ef a neighboring country it perceives the fragrancy of its flowers, and sees that it is the key of her future great- ness. ‘This country is roled by anothor nation, which lives at a great distance, which looks on it not aga province, but a8 a pitiful colony, subject to a distinct form of govern. ment, which does not embrace it with feclings of kind fraternity, but keeps it fettered and degraded, proving thos that it reckons not upon the love of its gous. Is it, therefore, an act of spoliation when a noighboring nation attempts to take possession of the island ? Any government not founded on the will of the inhabi- tants is arbitrary, odious and despotic. The Spanish go- vernment, abhorred by everybody here, is based only on force, and therefore cannot call to its assistance the prin- ciples of equity and justice, ‘The sympathies of the inhabitants are favorable to the United States, under whose shelter they would behold their wealth developed, and their soil rivalling with the very heaven. If the United States take possession of the island, they do not seize a property, but come to take poeseesion of it through the consent of the country. Besides, it appears to us useless to invoke rights when ‘the question ir with a party to which interest is right, and ‘upon whom there is no power capable of enforcing the principles of justice. Politics comprise the science of utility, and, with regard to nations, every useful principle is a just one. ever there is a Power stronger than all the rest, then there is no law which may be applied to it, because there is no power w enforce it. With regard to nations tne principle of force will ever predominate, for with them lies the greatest facility to ap- we eee as supreme law. ithout going back to distant periods we may find the following proof of this principle:—Did we not a little time ago see how France and Spain imposed on Rome a form of ernment which the Romans despise, and against which y rose in arms to get rid of it? Did not other nations dis; at their pleasure of unhappy Turkey? ‘we not sce Spain humble before France, dejected in presence of the United States, proud in Mexico, and over- weening in Africa? Jostice cannot exist, as we have already stated, when there is no power to impose it. It is evident that the United States, even if not reckon- = with the sympathies of the Cubans, might by force e ession of what does not belong to Spain, and of wi that nation deprived another, applying this sami principle of force, and abusing it inits to such ‘a degree as to force its inhabitants to renounco even Hea- ven not to find themacives in hostility to their ferocious execution@re. They avail themgelyes even of the significa- tion of the words in order to awaken sentiments which do not exist even in a latent state. The Ayuntamiento revolts aga'nst the idea of m gale; as if this ‘name should be bestowed on an indemnif- cation offered by the United States to Spain, in order to avoid bloodshed. Nations are not sold, and whosoever knows the significa- tion of this word ‘ gale’’ understands that the retribution offered to Spain belongs not to this category. An object 4s purchased, and thereby the right obtained of using and abusing it; and only the Ayuntamiento of Havana is capa- bie of Imagining that nations are used and abused in this way. ‘3 it therefore most positively made known that we Cubans do not honor ourselves with the title of faithful subjects of Spain. Be it moreover known, that Providence fortunately p! us near a great nation, in order that we may ipate in her liberties, setting fortn freely and truly our thoughts. Receive, sir, the wishes wo address to Heaven for your prosperity and rely upon our firm and resolute support. ‘This declaration is signed by thehearts and prayers of ‘all Cubans; and should it even express only the desire of him who writes these lines, a spontaneous signature is worth more than a hundred thousand forced ones. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AND THE LADIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Jan. 23, 1859. ‘The message of President Buchanan still continues to be the nightmare of General Concha and many of the old Spaniards here. General Concha, who knows his col- leagues in the Spanish government well, and who isdeeply convinced to the contrary of that which he wishes tomake all the world believe, with his fabricated demonstrations of indignation against the message of President Buchanan, is employing all the ample means at command under bis all-pervading power to increase them. Not satisfied with the hg eager oorme he ordered tho Ayuntamientos to make, he has directed the governors of the principal towns to remit to him, signed by three of the most respec- table ladies of cach place, letters which he has sent pre- pared, addressed to other notable ladies in Madrid, re- questing these to inte: cede with her Majesty, that she may not give way to the temptation of selling the island to the Yankees. leage note this fact, which I lay before the readers of the Hxratp in advance, that they may know ‘tho true value of these letters when they see them pub- lished. Concha knows very well that at the Court of Madrid everything gives way under the influence of the “mint drops;’” and that even the much boasted Spanish chivalry bridies itself with respect in the presence of that sweet face “eighteen carats fine.’’ General Concha himself gives one this impression, with his feverish anxiety to gend Lome indignant manifestations. Military reviews of all kinds, and speeches of Concha to the veteran volunteors and organized firemen, suc- ceed cack other with frequency on the Campo Marte; and the same practice is pursued by the subordinate governors elsewhere in the island, under directions from Concha, The object of these reviews and speeches ig none other than to counteract the effects of the congreve rocket which Mr. Buchanan has let off. The Diario de la Marina, which is the voice of the gov- ernment, has taken upon itself to give us a full account of the recent news from Furope; and it telis us, daily that France bas declared it will not consent that the soverciguty of Cuba shall pass to the United States. There- fore, the Diario tells us, the message of Mr, Buchanan should be torn up and given to oblivion; and we are ex- cted to listen with open mouths to ite assurance that in has, in Louls Napoleon, a father who has com- pletely overthrown Monroe and all bis followers. But what has most amused us is ite assurance in the last paragraph but one of its editorial on the 19th instant, where it says, wincing under tne gall, ‘In the island of Cuba there is more civil liberty than in the republic of Washington itself, for here no unjust restraints are laid upon labor, talent, genius; and all the paths to well being, riches and glory are open.’” On reading this we Cubans remember that Heredia, Luz Caballero, Varela, Saco, Del Monte, Tolon, Orga and many other illustrious Cubans, have been banished from our shores because (the government itself said it) “their fee and talents were prejudicial to the coun- try.” Hore we reply with nilence to all that the press says, because, as it has been expressed by the venerable Don José de la Luz Caballero, in a recent discourse, ‘I speak to say that I may not ie If slaves may emit a humble ion before freemen, trust and doubt not that Mr. jan will deign to Usten to the prayers and heart offerings of the enchaincd PLE OF CUBA. PUBLIC OPINION IN CUBA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Jen. 23, 1859. Everybody in the government cirolog, is at sixes and Sevens, and very pensive on account of the measures taken by the American government, in fortifying their coasts, declaring Key West the naval station of the Gulf, and on account of having hoard of the variout resolutions in Congress proposed by Morsre, Mason, Slidell, Branch and others. ‘This is not vory diragreable to us, when wo Onbans aro already chanting yictory in yiew,of these measures, and are only anxiously waiting for the fortunate day. Our Guajiros will then do the contrary of what they did at the’ the liberating American fi support ting , they would be Sea riety pescelved the formidable army oa. the coasts of Cuba. ‘The Spaniards wil! do the samo, and in particular the wealthier amonget them; for they very well know that there will no longer be 80 many taxes, as is found by those of their countrymen who are established in the North, vor the great Snescurity, that Low exists, in epite of the excessixe expenses caused by the police; nor will the army be sed a6 it is at present: por will there be s0 many shackles for the press aud thought, nor so many monopolies and duties: we ehal] eat better bread and cheaper; rice, beans, butter, cheese, pork and several other articles of firet neceesity will be free from duties, because those articles are produced in the federation. In fact, gran tony, in this country is 80 tired and dis gusted with thie prolonged tyranny, and #0 fearfn) lest it m4 last forever, that several reunions of Cubans took place, not Jong sine, wherein the most desperate intentions were manifested, believing the day to be not distant when they would have to resort 1 the most terri- ble means of sedition, in combination with the colored races, who are suffering under a not lighter yoke. 1 speak of this fact in order that our brethren the Americans may hasten their efforts and furnieh us a = tremedy, A public spirit has been largely created ere by the timely measures taken by the staleemen of your great people. Weare likewise very much gratified by the departure of the Hon, William Preston, plenipoter- tiary to Spain. Herethe greatest hopes are entertained from this highly important mission,» Should any of my fellow countrymen think of independence, he may from the present moment commence his conversion as a good political neopbyte to the achool of xpue America, for the destiny of our country is unavoidable. I do not speak of Cuba alone; the Antilles, Mexico, and even as far as Cape Horn, “will enter into common’ Union with the United States of America.’? This is but @ question of time. Ag ina garden grafting is necessary in order to bring plants to perfection, so should an imperfect people cn- deavor to procure for themselves this benefit, in order to produce a riper gnd more perfect fruit. Nature itself, in inferior classes of beings to man, admits the crossing of breeds in behalf of a greater develope ment, Why, therefore, should not the Cuban» and other Spanish-American races desire for their improve- ment a union with that race which speaks the English idiom, extends their political and civil liberties, the'r vast commerce and their improved agriculture, and possesses: feese* personal stature, political docility, well educated ladies, and many other improvements ? Tn a word, shall we not so improve our physical and moral constitution, and fulfil one of the precepts of the Eternal, which is to improve ourselves in every respect a8 primordial beings? Let us, then, lay aside the individ- ual ond general egotism of our race, and enter the path of reform, although we grown people may to a certain degree suffer through our inherited monarchial education, Let it be for the future benefit of our rising youth. God permits amalgamation of nations, as is proven by the history of all times; for the race of Northern Europe or that of the snowy regions, as a race more thinking and better trained to obedicuce, whatever different authors may say as to its barbarous character, civilized the effum- inate Latin race of the South by its famous invasion, and gave it life and atrength to reveive the Christian religion, God permitted the Ishmaelite civilization to be intro- duced into Spain for the benefit of the latter; thus be will likewise permit the Anglo-Saxon to descend towards the South, carrying with it the perfection of principles, the perfection of its individuals, the commerce and glory of the future. What is imperfect must be improved. Therefore a stationary and retrograding nation must abandon the field. It must perish or amalgamate itself. ‘This is its destiny in this world. And whereas there ia no other remedy for our snd situation, what better antidote than the eloquent and memorable one expressed by our Cuban philosopher, Don Joeé Antonio Saco, the learned and illustrious ‘ician, when speaking of the annexation of Cuba to the United States:— “There abe will find peace and consolation, strength and protection, justice and freedom; and, resting Uae these solid foundations, wili, in a short period, exhibit to the world the portentious spectacle of a people rising from the moet profound degradation, and passing with the rapidity of the lightning’s flash to the bighest point of greatness.’’ MORE TESTIMONY IN THE CUBA QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF TAE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Jan. 14, 1859, Considering your paper 23 one of the most impartial of the Union, I beg to solicit the favor of the insertion of the following lines in relation to the seeming public demon- stration of the inhabitants of this island, in regard to that part of President Buchanan’s Message to Congress in which he makes reference to the relations of the United States with Spain, and his views as respects this island, T will commence my remarks as follows: As a genera) thing, diplomacy and policy bear such intricacy that one is at a loss to conceive the end in view; but such has not been the case with the course pursued by the government of this island in relation to the syatem it has deemed ex- pedient to follow, owing to the dangerous sensation (for the existing government) caused by President Buchanan’s Message to Congress in reference to Spain and this island, ag its simplicity would not even mystify an infant, being @ problem any child could solve, and perhaps feel af- fronted at its shallowness. Immediately on receipt of the Message, our very politic Captain General, knowing the natural grateful sensation it would cause to these anxious inhabitants for a change 80 a8 to counteract this tendency, (and to blind, if possi- ble, those desirous of affording relief from without,) issued his wishes verbally and by tel ‘to the rities under his Sontrol, cxprossing his roa, (which T would interpret as an command,) that each and every corporation should manifest, as if it were @ sponta- neous measure, their utter abhorrence of anything like uniov to the United States, expressed as if the mere idea Were an ingult. These were, of course, to be issued ag per sample, forwarded all of one tenor, and to appear as if it were a popular and sitnultaneous feeling excited by the President’s Message among our population, and then to be publicly paraded by some of the minor anthorities, soliciting signatures in such a decided manner that non- compliance would have been sufficient cause for a brand such as Cain’s, or an order in your favor on some good keeper for solitary confinement—who knows for how long? Of course, many were the signers, but an observer could plainly notice that few wore voluntary; I have noticed many signers were boys, who neither knew head nor tail of the story, excepting that a vacancy was re- quired to be filled with their names. This is what is here called a popular demonstration; but in the United States it would be called a forced loan to cover a discrepancy, I cannot conceive for a moment who the Captain General dreams of decelving with such a childish and absurd de- monstration. Can he for a moment consider that he can deceive the people of the United States with a farce so feebly enacted? Can he dream of blinding an enlightened nation, anxious to aid their neighbors, seeing them too foully oppressed by their despotic masters ? Why has he forced the people to a feeble attempt at representation, when they have never had any?—the gov- ernment being that of an absolute monarchy. If the government counted on the popular feeling, why not leave itto a natural and spontaneous effort, and not as this farce has been enacted, forcing signatures, when non- compliance would have been sufficient cause for ote ment, or some like penalty. It would have showed more dignity and self-satisfaction at its own strength, did it really count on popular feeling; but as this has not becn the case, it would seem yoke Miler itis weak, and would deceive by artifice; but happily an enlightened na- tion like the United States cannot be deceived with such an empty show. ‘The people of the island would deom it a happy ers in their existence could anything compared to annexation take place, were it even purchased with the sacrifice of their heart’s blood; and any re tation to the con: trary is entirely the reverse of their most ardent wishes, and which their despotic rulers too well feel and know and the slightest approach to anything sympathetic with their desires places them on the qui vive, thinking that the time has arrived when they will lose their sway. T could enlighten your readers with regard to the many contrivances and artifices which the government of this island have had recourse to, to blind our brothers who sympathize and would aid us in our misfortune; but they are so many that Iam afraid to occupy too much space in your esteemed Peper. Begging your kind indulgence to my request, T am your obedient servant. CUBAN SENTIMENT AND MR. SLIDELL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. w York, Jan. 31, 1859. With deep emotion we have read Senator Slidell’s re. port on his bill recommending an appropriation for the purchase of Cuba by the United States, and beg to make a fow remarks on the subject. We endoi every argument, every phrase, every word set jh in that able, well digested report. With us, the people of Cuba would endorse it, too, were they allowed to discuss even the slightest political topic. But all which is left for them to do touching this momen- tous question is to write about it from concealment, and send their writings here for publication, as seen by seve- ral letters from that island, in your issue of the 22d inst,, which are but a faint expression of their feelings hurriedly committed to paper. Indeed, the whole Cuban population are anxious to get rid, once and forever, of the slave. trading, treaty breaking Spanish government, and cannot fai) to concur, heart and soul, in any measure or movement likely to bring about that desired end. And their concur: rence in this ig the more spontaneous, as it holds them out annexation to, the United states, which has been their cherished hope while striving to throw off the Spanish ©. ve Several attempts bave been made for the severance of Cuba from Spain, and in them we have suffered, with hun- dreds of Cubans, under the lead of Goneral Lopez, since 1848, until the failare of the Quitman movement carly in 1865, and cannot therefore but possess knowledge enough of the true feelings of the Cuban people to make for them this statement, and, in their name, as well as in ours, tender Mr. Shell sincere thanks for his praiseworthy efforts in behalf of Cuba, and Vay ge for his remarks on the slave trade—he being the frat who, in an official capacity, has done the Cubans justice by asserting that that (sna ee in Po at ed ee and oth le not born in down-trodden Cuba. sais tare SEVERAL CUBANS, A NORTHERN VIEW OF CUBAN ANNEXATION- TO THE EDITOR OF THE HARALD. .

I notice in the columns of the Henxarn that you want tome forther information as to who and what is General N. 8. Renean, who is arranging @ new expedition im this part of the country against Cuba. 5 He kept not long since @ dry goods store in the town of) Grapada in this State, and went to your city months ago to purchase goods. Itseems he obtained credit there to the extent of severa! thousands of dollars, but as busines did pot go well he broke up, and left your New York jobbers in the lurch. After that he went to Washington, and pretends to have laid before Mr. Buchanan a detailed pian for purchasing or acquiring Cuba. In a few weeks he returned to this partof the world, and made his début at Memphis, Ten-. negeee. There he gported epaulettes, sagh, and a Jong: sword, as the insignia of bis rank in the army for the con- quest of Cuba or Nicaragua, for he did not appear to have any éefined notions as to which he should first annex, From Mempbis he addressed letters to Goneral Concha, at Havana, proposing to give him fifteen millions of dol- lars to deciare the island independent. These he sent to an American at Havana, whose name he had learned, pe- questing him to hand them personally to Concha, He po loubt addressed letters to many persons in the South, pre- nds to be at the head of an immense filibuster organi- zation, From Memphis he went to New Orleans, where he ar- rived about a month ago, and there be seems to have found persons to believe his grand stories. His chief game seems to be to get his name carried over the tele- Ca) wires in connection with some new acquisition of rritory. A very strong belief prevails in Granada, and, indeed, throughout Northern Mississippi, that Reneau issomew! deranged; and hig course recently nly justifies that belief, He hag been go erratic in his movements that he hag attracted considerable public attention in this part of the country; buta Manioniniy sod, would certainly bring him in as @ decided case of moral insanity. Extraordinary Suicide in New Orleans. [From the New Orleans Crescent, Jan. 24.) . ears of age, an Englisiiman b; ip carpenter, lived with his wit and two children in a houge on Perdido streot. In October jast on fever, then prevailing, counted among ita victims the youngest child of the Ruperts—their litte girl Lizzie, about four years old, and the particular pet of the father. This was a blow from which the father never re- covered. Not able to buy a tomb, he had the child buried in the ground in Greenwood Cemetery. The grief preyed heavily upon him. It was his only thought, and, being out of his regular employment, he found employment in is grief. ‘He bought a burial lot and some bricks and other ma- teria}, and with his own hands, and all alone in the ceme- tery, built bim a brick tomb. He had not the means to make the tomb a stylish one; so in its mouth or entrance he fitted a wooden frame, and on this frame he fitted a piece of board, and secured it with screws in its four cor- ners. On this board with which he enclosed the vault, (in lieu of the usual brick and mortar or marble slab,) be had carved nicely with his knife the burial inscription of his child. The tomb finished, he disinterred the child’s body and placed it there. He fastened the board with screws, in order that he aii afterward have no trouble in removing it when he felt like gazing upon the decaying remains of his child, ‘This employment finished, it was his habit to visit the cemetery, open the tomb, and look at the corpse of his pet. He always carried a screw-driver in his pocket with ‘which to remove and replace the board, and also to. re- move and replace the iid of the cotfiu. Neither the bag- gard aspect of the ebrinking little corpse, nor the foulodor of its decay, could repel him in his morbid grief. His visits were frequent, and sometimes his wife went with him. He frequently complained to her that he could not get work; and this inability doubtless fostered the despon- lency which was drawing bim to death. He frequently spoke of having no faith in the futare, and of death as a desirable thing. ‘On Wednesday ho went te the cemetery with two shrubs which he had purchased, and planted ther in front of the tomb. On Thursday, when he left home, he told his wife that if he had no better luck in finding work she would never see him again. He also said something about hav- bat evening, or that night—for noone saw him in his gloomy proceedings—he visited the cometery, taking with him bis screw driver, an iron trunk handle, a small rod of iron, apiece of wire, some new screws, and a large vial of jaudanum. Unscrewing the board of the tomb, he threw anny = screws and filled the screw holes in the board with clay. ‘With his new screws he then secured the trynk handle to the inside of the board. This work of course had to be done outside of the tomb. Pushing his child’s coffin aside, he got in by its side, taking with him his poison and other articles with which he provided himself. His bat he placed upon the coffin; his coat, which he had taken off, he wrapped around a brick for a pillow. He shut himself in with the board, by means of the handle he had screwed to it, the board litting outside the wooden frame. The iron bar, which was of the proper length, he Fame would not allow the bar to pass through tho tapi ame would n w the pandie on. &, +) ‘of tho heard; en bo gocnred the and the bar by means of his wire, coltng iedhronett the one and sround the other. He did not succeed fn ting the boards squarely upon the frame, One corner of it caught upon the brickwork outside the frame; this he did not discover, probably owing to the darkness of the night; and but for this little circumstance his fate would probably have never been discovered, or not at least for Many years, Having thus hid himself away, as he fan- cied, beyond mortal discovery, he drained off the contents of his laudanum bottle, composed himself on his back, placed the brick and coat beneath his head, and went to sleep, and off iato the unknown regions of the suicides. As he did not return home on Thursday night, his wife feared the worst, remembering well the tendency of his Tate conduct and the tenor of his parting words. On Fri- day morning she rose early and went out to the cometery. She looked all around and failed to find her husband, She went and looked at their tomb, and was about to leave, when she happened to notice that the board did not fit snugly into the frame as usual. Looking closer, she dis- covered the mud in the screw-holes; and putting her hand on the board, found it was standing loosely. pulled it outa little, and the first thing she saw was the doad face of her husband. She fainted away, and laid in the grass she could not tell how long. She recovered at last, fot up and went and informed the sexton, Mr. Merritt, er discovery. The latter went and looked at things, and sent word to the coroner; and the inquest was held, as we have stated, on Saturday. rity of the South. [From the Savannah Republican, Jan. 28.] When we bear men talk about the oppressions of go- vernment and the dissolution of the Union, we involun- tarily turn to the real condition of the country and ask ourselves where are the evidences of a down trodden people? Where the burthens that press so heavily upon us? Where the ruin and devastation that news ir editors and sepration orators so often depict in terrible colors as at our very doors and staring us in the face? Echo answers, ‘‘Where.’’ There is not to-day, on the broad face of the globe, a people so free, independent, happy and prosperous as the citizens of the Southern States of the American Union. This is a fact that cannot be denied. Our laws are liberal and just. Tabor, in every department of human industry, is having an abun- dant reward. Our planters of cotton and rice, who con- stitute the great body of the people, never in the history of the country enjoyed such a harvest of prosperity and wealth, The former especially are loaded down with the fruits of their labors, and are troubled to know what they shal! do with their money. Every railroad that can pro- mise a return has been built; the stock of those already in operation and that pay good dividends f& selling at enor- mous rates; nobody wants to borrow, and in despair for an inveetment they are segs paying from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars mogroes that may lie down and die to-morrow, or runaway, and cost their own- ers balf their yalue to recover them. In Georgia, so reck- less have some of them become, that they are placing thelr money in the stock of the Macon and Brunswick railroad, while there is not more freight or travel to the const than one rajlroad, already in operation, can accommodate. Who feels oppressed? Who looks oppressed? In the midst of the general peace and plenty, even our slaves are happy and compare favorably, in the matter of personal comfort, with any laboring population on the globe. How ry pekapeg D weare to complain when the blessings of Heaven are thus showered down upon us! How strange it is that man is least satisfied when ho is doing best—that the ever expanding capacity of his desires knows no bounds and refuses to be filled! Let us cease our murmurs, our discontents, our desire for change, and thank Providence that we are as we aro, Above all, let the people, as if with one voice, repudiate and silence forever those minis ters of evil who are ever trying to convince them, in oppo sition to their sonses, that they are degraded, oppressed and wronged, and that it is their duty to raise the hand of violence against the benignant institutions under which wo have grown s0 great, free and independent. Arremerep Svuicipe oF A Murperer.—Louis Gould, the man who so bratally murdered Eliza Lawrence, at Poughkeepsie, a few days since, and who is now con. fined in the jail of that city, awaiting his trial for the crime, attempted to destroy himself on Sunday morning jast, by cutting his arm and severing the arteries, thereby intending to bleed to death. About nine o'clock Mr. Palmer, the jailer, heard one of the prisoners knocking against the door of his cell,and on going up to learn the cange, was informed that a fow moments ago Gould called to him, and bid him | geome stating that he had cut his arm with a knife and was ry Tho jailer immodiatcly went tothe murderer's cell, but started back in horror at the bloody spectacle that presented iteelf to his vision.
