For the President's Message insists on the necessity of emancipa-
tion in Cuba in very emphatiC and significant language. Cuban Slavery, he appears to have said, "is opposed to' granting relief to misrule, has no aspiration towards fraedom, no generous policy, but seeks .still more strongly to rivet the shackles of slavery and op- fireistiti.- It seizes upon many emblems of power, under pro- fessions of loyalty to the mother country, exhausts the resources -ed the island, and- does acts at 'variance with the principles of justice, instead of giving a character of nobility to the Republic. In the interests of humanity, civilisatien, and progress, this evil influence must be abated." This iletoric, if it be really President Grant's, and not the reporter's, is slip-slop stuff, but kis excellent sense, and means business. We should, recommend the Cuban $11PreoVleis to "agree with their adversary quiclily, while they are in the way with him," lest at any time they should be delivered over to the United States, to be dealt with as the South was dealt with. Assuredly they would not come out thence till they had paid the uttermost farthing.
