He reprobated all these effete to procure Cuba by force: If the people of Cuba wanted to throw off the yoke of Spain, they had hie warmest sympathies, and the independence of the Wand would be gladly recognized by the country, whenever they might be in a position to snake it proper. The annexation of Cuba had no terrors fore him.

There was no measure that would to greatly tend to strength en-the bonds of the nation as that. commented severely on the inconsistency of Englaed, who aver harping on Jonathan's th' rat for territory, was %lousily extending her own dominions b'y the power of the sword, in every weak quarter.
