OUR FOREIGN POLICY IN 1854 AND
18fi!.
Ik 18.r4 Franklin Pierce, a Democratic Presi
dent of tbese United Htatcs, ordered James
Buchanan, John T. Mason, and Piorre Soule,
Democratic ambassadors at foreign courts, to
assemble at some convenient place and de
liberate how we oonld most expeditiously get
possession of the island of Cuba. The vene
rable trio, since otherwise distinguished, met
at Ostend, France, and after sitting in solemn
convention for three days issued the "Ostend
manifesto" a document more celebrated per
Laps, for its folly and rascality, than any othor
reoord of political history. These are its
points: In the beginning it sets forth various
reasons why Cuba would be an advan
tageous acqnisition to the United States;
from this it glides, with an agreeable
frankness, to the wretched condition of
Spain, her financial distress, and the
evident want of money which should compel
her, if Bhe bad any self-respect at all, to sell
ns her spare property; finally, in a burst of
confidence, it advocates the buying of Cuba
if we can, and the stealing it if we can't. It
says, with a great deal of truth, that the pre
sent (1854) was an age of "adventure" of
Democratic adventure, of course, though it
does not say that and though a Demo
cratic President would inflexibly enforce the
neutrality laws, yet he could not prevent
'liberal-minded men" (like Mr. Walker and
General Quitman) "from rushing to the
assistance" of the Cubans in case they should
revolt, which they were pretty sure to do if
we wanted the island very badly. All of
which was respectfully submitted to tho De
mocratic President and the Democratic party,
and by them most heartily endorsed.
When this admirable paper was promul
gated in Europe, it was regarded everywhere
as a very transparent though exceedingly
good joke. But when it was clearly ascer
tained that it was no joke at all, that its vene
rable authors were perfectly serious, and were
moreover supported by the great body of the
Democratic party, then dominant in the
United States, there went up such a cry of
indignation and disguBt from the civilized
world that quickly brought the incorruptible
organization to its knees. It assemblod in
National Convention in 1850, but declined,
with commendable prudence, to go before the
country on the Ostend circular. It
nominated James Buchanan, that the South
might see it was still of the same opinion,
but would have none of its candidate's diplo
matic triumphs engrafted on its platform.
Nevertheless, the Ostend policy was the
policy of the Democratic party, as everybody
perfectly well knew, approved by its Presi
dent in the White House, and written by the
President it elected in the November of '50.
It was the same policy that had stolen Texas,
was then trying to steal Nicaragua, and was
about to steal Cuba at the first convenient
opportunity. It contained the grand princi
ple of all our foreign policy under Democratic
rule manifest and shameless theft.
If we turn our eyes for one instant to our
present relations with Cuba and Spain, we
shall discern a moral progress in our people
during the last fifteen years that clearly de
notes the decay of Democratic influence.
Although a rebellion, as powerful in its
effects as the principles which gave rise to it,
has long been raging in Cuba; although the
Spanish authority has been overthrown again
and again; although Spain is weaker and
more defenseless than she ever was, by reason
of her own internal convulsions; although
Cuba is twice as desirable an acquisition to
the United States now than in 1854, when a
Democratic administration wanted to steal
her the world of Europe and America will
bear witness to the integrity of the policy
pursued by President Grant. Unable to re
press the sympathy of our people, he has
watched with a jealous care that that sympathy
should not take elf ect in filibustering expedi
tions from our territories. Unlike President
Pierce, he can and does prevent "liberal
minded" men from compromising the na
tional character. With an honesty rare in
the history of the world, he has not reoog
nized Cuban independence when strong and
generous reasons weighed heavily in its scale.
He has preserved intact a noble policy towards
the distracted Government of Spain a policy
looking ultimately to the acquisition of Cuba,
but now and always to the maintenance of
our country's honor. That it is a question of
high principle and not a mere caprice on the
part of the present administration, is shown
by the fact that its action is in direct opposi
tion to the warmer sympathies of our people,
all of whom pray for the liberty of Cuba, and
are determined on her future annexation to
the United States. Under these circumstances,
reflecting persons may ask themselves which
of the two parties now dividing this nation is
the party of civilization and enlightenment,
and which the party of barbarism and igno
rance.
TI1E CANDIDATES FOR THE SU
PREME BENCH.
No Republican in the State, and no good
citizen who prefers acknowledged ability to
unlettered mediocrity on the Supreme Bench,
should fail to cast his vote at the coming
election for Henry W. Williams. He is a
lawyer of profound attainments, a judge of
great experience, and admirably qualified in
every respect . to adorn his present position,
ui'Jl9 lea&or great seryioa to the people of
Pennsylvania in expounding their laws, as a
member of their highest judicial tribunal.
The Democracy, in nominating C. L. Persh
ing, an obscure country lawyer, perpetrated a
terrible blunder, which tho voters should not
be slow to correct at the polls. It is a mattor
of vital importance to have men of the
highest ability in ttie Stato Court of last re
sort. Many questions which, directly or indi
rectly, deeply affect every citizen, conio be
fore that body for ultimate decision, and in
tho midst of the folly and recklessness which
prevail elsewhere, nnd especially in the
Legislature, it is absolutely nocessnry that our
foolish laws should bo wisely interpreted.
Judge Williams has enjoyed a superior train
ing for this position through an oxtensive
practice at the Tittsburg bur, long service as
Judge of the District Court of Allegheny
county, and also considerable experience oa
the Supreme Bench. His abilities are ac
knowledged by his political foes as well as his
partisan friends, and there is scarcely
a single man in the Commonwealth
better fitted by antecedents and mental char
acteristics to adorn his present position than
himself. When he was a candidate before
he was defeated by a small majority by Judge
Sharswood, the strongest and ablest man tho
Democracy could put in tho field, and this
result was due in a large dogree to the Repub
lican votes cast in Philadelphia for the Demo
cratic candidate at that time, on account of
his well-known abilities as a lawyer and
judge. In Allegheny county, where Judge
Williams was then best known, he enjoyed
the public confidence to an equal or even a
superior degree, and now that his acquire
ments are well understood throughout the
State, his election may be anticipated with
great confidence. It is difficult to explain tho
nomination of an obscure lawyer like Persh
ing as his antagonist, in any other way than
by the supposition that the Democratic lead
ers felt that it was scarcely worth while to
damage the reputation of one of their attor
neys or judges of acknowledged legal ability
by nominating him as a candidate in what
they felt would be a hopoless contest. But
whatever may have been their motives, the
people should certainly take very good care
to avoid the calamity of the election of a
fifth-rate lawyer to tho Supreme Bench.
TERRITORIAL CONSOLIDA TIONS.
At the recent banquet of the Peace
Congress, in Switzerland, Victor Hugo
toasted the United States, and said
that "he felt sure that, in imitating the
example of America, Europe would eventu
ally become a fcderulive republic." This is
a grand and startling idea, and though it is
advanced now only by a writer of romance,
it may hereafter claim the grave uttention of
statesmen and of the most solemn delibera
tive bodies. In our own time two great terri
torial consolidations have occurred in Europe,
which would have been deemed utterly
impossible a generation ago. The
creation of a united Italy and
of the now Germanic Confederation marks
the spirit as well as the progress of the age.
The telegraph and the railroad are groat de
stroyers of ancient prejudices, and the
facilities now afforded for commingling the
populations of different nations, not merely
during holiday tours, but at great interna
tional industrial expositions like those held in
France and England, go far to convince men
that the whole world is kin, and that the old
idea that people who spoke a different lan
guage from your own, or who resided on the
other side of a boundary line, were natural
enemies, was a relic of barbarism. John Bull
is gradually discovering that Johnny Crapeau
is not necessarily and inevitably a deadly
enemy, and even Germans and Frenchmen
can consort together without feeling an irre
sistible impulse to cut each other's throat .
During the late war in this country, John
Bright, in combating the prevalent desire of
British politicians to promote the disruption
of the United States, took the broad ground
that the welfare of all mankind would be ad
vanced by the reduction of the number of
national governments instead of their increase,
and that this doctrine could be advantage
ously applied to Europe as well as America.
He thus foreshadowed, in part, Victor Hugo's
sentiment; and though he said nothing of a
great European republic, it is difficult to
understand how the diverse continental na
tions can be peacefully, permanently, and
advantageously combined except upon the
great republican system. Powerful warriors
may temporarily establish an empire upon
the ruins of broken thrones, but they cannot
firmly weld together the entire continent on
any other principle than the rule of the peo
ple for the people, which has proved so effica
cious here.
While Hugo is predicting a future great
republic in Europe, events are ripening for
the peaceable extension of the sway of our
own Government over all the outlying regions
to the north and south. It is folly to seek
aggrandizement by war, excessive expendi
tures, or a tortuous diplomatio policy; but
if we simply govern ourselves well and wisely
iuo unuau powsessions in JNortn America
Mexico, and the West India Islands will in
good time as inevitably fall into our lap as
the ripe apple falls to the ground.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
non. Columbus Delano, during his stumping
tour in this State, has made somo gratifying
statements in regard to the marked improve
ments in the method of collecting there
venue which have been established by the
present administration. He alleges that dur
ing the fiscal year ending June JJ0, 1808, the
whole amount of whisky on which duty was
paid was only 4,(U)'.t,54G gallons, and no other
portion of the yearly product (which is esti
mated at 100,000,000 gallons) was accounted
for except 4,227,101 gallons exported from
the bonded warehouses. During the fiscal
year ending on the UOth of June, 18(J1, the
tax was collected on C2,00t),331 gallons of
whisky, making a net incroase of revenue on
this single article, notwithstanding the re
duction of xo rate of taxation from two dol
lars to fifty cents por gallon, of $15,280,000.
Tho increased internal revenue receipts from
tobacco during the same period amounted to
$,082,000. And tho increased receipts from
internal revenue during the present quarter
over the corresponding period of last year he
estimates at ten millions of dollars, or at the
rate of forty millions per annum.

Genilemen: In ihe year 1866 I unfortunately was
In business In tho Artisan Building, which was de
stroyed by fire on the 10th of Apru. I had then In
use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upon
opening it I found everything destroyed, and Are
burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several
of your Safes in that are, also several In the Are at
Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, Ave
weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened
proved they were Arc-proof indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and la every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of ether
makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
once concluded to have something that I could de
pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The safo I purchased of you at that time was sub
Jccted to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside in the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marble Paper factory, 921
Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening o'f the
24th Inst After digging the safe from the ruins,
and opening it Mils morning, I was much pleased to
find everything, consisting of books, papers, money
and silverware, all right. I shall want another of
your safes as soon as lean get a place to continue
mv business in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of safes.
