Quite a number of colored people are leaving Washington to work on tue cotton plantations in Mississippi. A schooner was wrecked opposite the Highlands of Neversink, N. J., yesterday morning.

General Prim declared in the Cortes yesterday that in future the Government would deal summarily with such disorders as the outbreak of the conscripts by which he narrowly escaped injury. The Columbus (Ohio) Mate Journal thinks the great want of the age is a female John Brown; thitf I'omeroy'ri seul does not march to THE DEMANDS OF TUE UOUIt. To tt t FiMor of Tht Evening TtlegrapK The lame and imperfect ideas entertained of onr country and countrymen by foreigners are very often a source of amusomont and ridicule, and yet there are phases of Ameri can character, manifestations of what is called popular opinion, that are so apparently at variance with our political education, national character, and what would be con sidered tho natural results of our institutions, that an American, one to the manor born, can find no key that will solve the mystery. We should therefore be modest at least in our criticism of foreign writers on American opinion and character, who must of necessity write at disadvantage, when we are nnable at times, with all tho lights about us, to analyze causes and lay bare the mainsprings that govern and direct popular sympathies, or at least explain the surface in dications of what claims to be the "vox popuK." . It is reasonable to expect that the impress of language, laws, literature, and political polity will so far shape the heart and mind of a people that a safe prediction could be made as to popular opinion upon any important question, foreign or domestic, that would to any large extent appeal for approval or de mand condemnation. And vet this simple and natural proposition seems widely at vari ance with facts, if we are to judge popular opinion from the voice of tho American newspaper press. The physical difficul ties overcome in felling our forests, dedicating a virgin soil to agrioulture, building houses, and peopling a new land, developed and ripened the already planted seeds of political and religious liberty. The . fruits of declared national independence naturally followed, and from that hour to tho present, through varied changes of gloom and sunshine, the education of tho people in heart and mind has been to an appreciation of free domto a hatred and detestation of op pression. That this education has not been without its higher and nobler victories as the years rolled on is manifest in the recent emancipation of a down-trodden race, and the broader and truer signification given to our national emblem as the Hag of the free. And yet, in the face of our education and entire history from its first written page at Jamestown and at Plymouth to the present hour, the American people stand to-day watching an unequal contest at their very doors; if not applauding despotism, having no kind, generous word for a gallant, long enduring people, fighting in the name of free dom and good government against a corrupt, tyrannical, and cold-blooded despotism. If it was a righteous thing for the American colonies to throw off the yoke of George of England, and demand the sympathies of the world in the after contest, surely it was right for the oppressed people of Cuba to rebel against a foreign invader, whose corruption and vices at home had called down the scorn of the nations, and whoso exactions and tyrannies in the island can only be fairly un derstood by those who have given patient study to the unrelenting extortions and wholesale robbery of a people to enrich a profligate court and a continually renewed swarm of hungry adventurers sent out to prey upon tne land. 'lo drawnp a bill of indictment that would in any fair way present the multifarious crimes of whioh Spain is guilty towards Cuba would cover more space than can be spared. There is not a wrong of which nation can be guilty against nation, or despotic govern ment against oppressed people, of whioh Spain is not to-day guilty. Until the recent revolution, her tiovern- ment at home was a type of nothing that is desirable in the present, and was indeed but a half-dead representative of the corruption. weakness, and wickedness of the past. And now, at this hour, in spite of the few intelli gent public men that would direct her to a nobler destiny, she totters and staggers in her sham republicanism, half inclined to again embrace the stupendous follies and corrup tions of the past. From the corroding and deadly curse of oppression under such a power, a brave poo pie at onr very doors struggle to be free, and yet from republican America, from this land redeemed and regenerated from oppression, no voice goes up of succor and support. On the contrary, all that the nation can give in encouragement, gunboats, arms, and muni tions of war, are reserved for the oppressor. All this seems strange, and passing strange, that we, with all our antecedents, can be indif ferent to such a contest. When Hungary was in her death struggle with Austria, the whole people were alive with sympathetic ardor. When Poland, the land of patriotism and heroio valor, after sufferings that can never be told, of famine, torch, and sword, lay prostrate at the teet ot her gigantic and un relenting foe, the heart of the American people went out towards her in universal condolence and sorrow. When oreece contended against oppres sion, although "wide seas and distant lands intervened between her and us," yet our hearts went out to that classic land of im mortal art and sweetest song, and American statesmen were not afraid to hand down to future times a few burning words of eto quenco for the land of Homer and Demos thenes. All this is in the past. A change seems to have come over "the spirit of our dreams. Instead of a people that could at least tender their poor sympathies, if nothing else, to the oppressed and down-trodden, we have become a prudeat nation, which, fearing to lose a few dollars involved in the Alabama question, woula allow freedom to perish at our very doors. All this may bo very good statecraft. To our limited comprehension it seems rather fishy. There can be no doubt of one thing, however: it is not old-fashioned American statesmanship, nor is it of that character that will ultimately command the respect, sympathy, or support of the Ameri can people, xnere are many people who be lieve that Spanish gold has more to do with airecun? it man tue tear 01 losing our British claims. Our Government can afford to pooket all the louses occasioned by the Alabama and other British pirates upon our commerce du ring the Rebellion, but our people cannot afford to look with coldness and indifference upon a struggle for freedom. In spite of the sympathies and open assertions of England, France, and Bpain, we fought the battles of the Rebellion to victorious eonolusion, and if En eland desires that her oonduct during that trying period shall establish a precedent for the future, so let it be: upon her will rest the reHponsibility. Let us do our duty to ourselves and to struggling humanity. Because England In indeoent haste recognized as belligerents the Southern (States before they had struck a telling blow in the contest, is no reason why we should withhold our sympathy and recog nition of a people who for more than a year have defied all the power of Spain to subdue tbem, and are to-day, altbonqn poorly olad match for Spanish prowess. Spain has ex hibited in the contest nothing to command our respect. On the contrary, her whole policy on the island has been marked by im becility and brutality. If in the open field and deadly conflict she had exhibited any of her old historic valor, we might be led to be lieve that the present dogeuerate raoo of Spaniards, after all, had some of tbe old Castilian blood left. But alas I no. If the murdering in cold blood of old men and de fenseless women would give her the claim, she has it, but in nothing else. Not content with the cold-blooded butcheries that have marked her treatment of the poor Cubans, she has of late varied the perform ance by shooting down in open day unarmed American citizens, and yet no voice in autho rity gives utterance to indignant protest. The American people are "dumb, and open not their mouths. ' Will nothing arouse them, and especially Mr. Secretary Fish, to a sense of duty and the call of honor ? It has been hinted that those in authority are very nervous abont the power of the Spanish army. We don't sympathize in thoir fear; but if we are in such a lamentable condition, the sooner we correct the evil the better, so that we may not be deterred from doing our duty for fear of a fifth-rate power. Lot the administration speak but the word, and the electric cord will vibrate from one end of tho land to the other. But if the administration, from whatever cause, fails to respond to the demands of the hour, let the people arouse to a sense of what is due from them in sympa thy and moral support, if in nothing else, to a gallant people contending, amid suffering and great privation, for the freedom of their native land.
