There seems to he now no doubt that Concha, the Governor-General of Cuba, has been much better in formed than tlie American public, 44'. the arraugements making in the United Statr,,f r a w•trlik , _ de-cent upon that isko d, and that the prompt and severe measures taken by bitn to prevent the insurrection from breaking out and to defend the coast -and the seaports against attack, were dictated by the instinct, 113 ZAr.ing with governments as with individuals, of self-preserva tion. Circumstances are gradually coming to light, which show that vet extensive and apparently lOrmidable preparations Were made in this coun try cot the invasion- of the island by band: of adventurers, who were to be conveyed thither in steamers. There is no longer any occasion for surprise that the American steamer El Dorado, in sailing near the coast of Cuba, was stopped and . examined by a Cuban vessel of war, whose commander was suspicious of the errand on which she had come. The act might not be ex actly conformable to the law of na.• tifins ; but it was just what an Ameri can commander would have done in like circumstances, and just what our own government ‘vould have directed its vessels of war ti) do if it had in formation of an imminent rebellion at home and a meditated invasion from abroad. A government must protect its own existence. One of the persons concerned in the conspiracy, Eamon Pinto, has been tried, convicted, and executed. A good deal is said, in some of the jouroels, of the cruelty of this pro ceeding. To us it seems that, so lung as capital putli,hments are allowed, those who ate enllCCl'llt'd in a plot to overturn a government, and put to death the offiCers who administer it, are as properly made, amenable to the penalty of death as any other class of offenders. The Wasbington Union, we per ceive, calls Pinto "a martyr," and his execution "a murder." The Union is playing directly into the hands of the aholitiouist:s. It :•ays of this proceed ing: The murder of Pinto is but one of a long cata:ogue of evidence of unsurpassed cruelly and harh_.risnl. There no liberty in Cuba; there is a property there—no safety of life or honor in Cab 1: A tyranny, against which even Europe wou!d revo:t, you can 'see any c'ear day from ,he promon.or.es of. Fit:trifle. There it is, the dealt of into!erance, the agony of try tor.ore, the horror o: the Laqutstion, the ever-increasing and agonizing demonism of .he save trade, all in one, all co..ec ed from .he b rb .ri.ica of ages, brew ing and wri.biug under those clouded moult; tam-tops :o the ea! , .." If liberty be a blessing in Cuba, it must be •a blessing everywhere. In the slave states of this Union are three THE PEOPLE'S JOU \AL millions and a half of huinan beings, three times the population of Cuba, who are much greater strangers to liberty and to political and civil rights than the people. of that island. if a conspiracy should be formed among them to recover their liberty, are the conspirators patriots ? If they are detected and executed, do they be come martyrs, and' is their death a murder Yet we look upon the exe cution of those who are concerned in a slave insurrection as a matter of course. The slave trade is in con stant activity in the southern states ; slaves are every day sold, to be car tied' from the older States to Alabama, to Louisiana, to Texas. Is the slave trade in Cuba any more deserving of the epithet „ demonism," applied to it by the Union, than the slave trade at home ? Hear the 'Washington Union again, from the midst of siaveholders and a slave population: • ." There are no Jaws in Cuba, save such as a nomadic governor, equally remorse e•s as to life or tootle}•, chooses- to make for !Mose f. There is no press there. A r.gid and armed wall exc'udes its people from ihe word, and the word from them. They seize in it's there, open le; ers, and seize tho.e to whom they ire nddre.sed.

"What press have .they to speak for them, to express their wishes and any more than the people of Cuba ? Are not they excluded from the world, and the world from them," in a far gi eater degree than the Cuba planters ? Is there a letter directed to a slave which his master may not open ? What chance has a negro on a trial, deprived as he is of the right to call any person of his own color as a witne§s '1 What person, of all these three or four millions, can go out of the slave states without the permission of the white man, or what colored person can enter a slave state without the certainty of being taken up and imprisoned ? SENATOR DOUGLAS IN VIRGINIA The Richmond Enquirer gives a flaming accouot of the impression made by-Stephen A. Douglas's late I speech at Richmond. Mr. Douglas seems to succeed better with a south erir than a northern audience. At Chkago he is hissed; at Richmond he is applauded. Douglas has a pair of tools and humble fidlowers to Illinois. One of them is Shields, the late Senator in Congress, who was recently set aside by the people in a canvass for re election, and who is to be compen sated by a military appointment in the new regiments which ate to be raised for the defense of California. The other is John Moore, state treasurer of Illinois, and a sort of door-keeper (lithe State Capitol, whohas regularly opened its doors to Douglas and biz friends when they wanted to hold a meeting, but kept them closed against all who were hostile to the Fugitive Slave law: The Richmond Enquiier says t Senator Douglas was peculiarly eloquent when, in riductuing the 'dangers of foreign influence,' he referred to two examples iu his own State. The first was General. Shic.ds, who had spilled such a stream of Mood, year cst his heart, in defense of the honor of the conntry, cod yet was shamelessly ostracised by the Know-No bingo! The second instance was ,hat of old John Moore, who was Lug lish-horn, but had lived fifty years in this conutry—who had been elected State Trers nrer origin() s. and who, in his odieial capac ity, htd refiised to allow the Stam Capitol to he defied by the speeches of atintition dis unionists, as Giddings and Cassius M. Clay, hat Mould always throw open the doors to n ttiond men, Whigs and democrats, who spoke . and cc.ed for the maintenance of the sacred guar.tmees of .he Constitution. Sen ator notights's beau iful and truly .eloquent pimures.of these two noble men, drew down thunders of applause. Douglas should have seen that though his eulogy of John Moere might an swer-very well in Virginia, it would . , make the matter worse .for him in _lllinois. The Know-Nothings of !lois will most certainly take advantage Of it, to ask if foreigners, who are adopted .into the American family, 'are .to have the prerogative of excluding native,horn citizens from the' tight of addressing their brethren in public.— Evening 'ost.

THE commenctrT ELECTION. The returns of the late elections in Connecticut show a complete defeat of the friends of the federal adminis tration. The whigs and Know-Noth ings have carried, according to one account, eighteen, and. according to another. twenty of the twenty-one sen ators, about two-thirds of the mem bers of the House of Representatives, and the four. members of Congress, There were three candidates for Gov ernor in the field. The Know-Noth-• lug candidate, Mr Minor, has the largest vote, and next to him, at no great distance, is his democratic com petitor; the whip candidate having received, it is suppm-ed, about ten thousand votes. The election of Mi mir and the other Know-Nothing can : didates for State offices, by the Leg islature, is expected as a, matter of course. in the last Congress the four mem bers of Congress were democrats. Three of them voted against. the Ne liraska bill; but even that act of vir tue could not save them. They were supported in the canvas by the friends of.the adniinistrution, and that seems to have been a sufficient reason t;) ensure their defeat. The people of Connecticut appear to have resolved that no member of the Congress which passed the Nebraska bill .should sit in the House of Representatives fir the next two years. It:is remarkable how perfect a copy this Connecticut election ii of the New Hampshire election, which took place three weeks since. As in that election, the party supporting Mr. Pierce's administration has been an nihilated. As in that election, the representation in .Congress has been shifted from his political - friends to his political enemies. As infhat election, the met it of having voted against the Nebraska bill was not sufficient to secure the reeleCtion of any member of Congress who camdbefore the peo ple with the disadvantage of being suppOrted by the party which sustains the administration. The whig party, in its vote for Dutton, the regular whig candidate; figures as an element in the election of yesterday; but just as in the Now Hampshire election, the fyeesoil party have entirely disap peared, their votes having probably been given •for the candidates who obtained the majority. Of course, they fbund no such valiance from their views and purposes in regard to the slavery question as should make it proper to withhold from these candi dates their support. • The victory will undoubtedly be called in some quarters a victory of the Know:Nothing party, which may possibl) be allowed to use it as - such ' for this year.- It is simply, however, a union of all other parties and polit ical sects against the administration, cemented temporarily by a common interest, and taking advantage of a most unpopular measure ofMr. Pierce's administration, to break down the pa'rty by which he is supported.— Strip the Know-Nothiwr faction in Connecticut •of the strength it has gained from these alliances, detach it from its wing, its democratic and its freesuil auxiliaries, who are enlisted for thi; present campaign only, - and it would make much such a • figure as the English troops before Sevastopol would make if their allies were to Withdraw from the'. , :iege. Meantime, if• there be arViincer• taints as to who has triumphed, there is none as to who has been beaten.. We shall be glad if anybody will tell us which of the States north of Mason and Dizon's line is likely to support .Mr. Pierce if he should again be a candidate for the Presidency. A kind of northern. invasion bus overrun all that great belt' Of populous Stateti which ties between the Atlantic coast not th of Cape May and . the Mississippi —a northern party, which owes its origin to the foolish as well as unprin cipled policy of the administration in regard to the Nebraska bill, has taken possession of them, and will hold them firmly against any candidate whOse political character is tainted With the iniquity of that measure.—Erating Post. • MARRIAGE OF .MISS LYNCH: The newspapers announce the marriage on Saturday last of Miss Anne .C.

ANGLO4APAREECE This elegant and most useful work is very easy in its execution, while the means and appliances for its per formance are within the reach of every one. The materials are simply yellow withered leaves, a little .dis- solved gum, black paint, and copal varnish; while the objects to be orna mented may be a box cupboard, table, etc., in fact, any old furniture that has been rendered unsightly by age or long use. A plain, deal box, costing about a shilling, may, by this process, so far as the outside .goes, be con verted into a costly-looking dressing case. An exquisite chess-board may be made, with very little skill, from a square piece of deal. Flower-pots; • pole-screens, folding and hand-screens, may all be decorated in this manner, and from untidy-lmiking lumber may be converted into articles of use, ele gance and beauty, and this at a mere nominal expense, taste being the chief requisite in the production.

Hew often, in after years, will a single dried' leaf, carefully cherished, recall the pleasing circumstances un der which it was gathered—perhaps some single spray was presented by a dear friend, between whom and our seh,es, at the .present time, oceans may roll. And even a tiny leaflet may have the magic power of 'con juringup a host of }dewing memories; it may be the link which auddeiily opens to us a fiord of kindly sympa . tides, occasioned by this gentle recol lection of the absent one; or• it may be, perchance, that some leaves were . plucked by loved cues long since departed to a heavenly home—if so, then how fetidly do we dwell on These treasured mementoes, and our, hearts insensibly warm within us at sight of th holy relics of the dead.

The leaves selected fri;m this plant should he of a bright yellow, small, and well shaped. Many of the earliest leaves of spring are falling.

The brown leaves of the oak may yet . he found lying in the hedge-rows; and-the under lemon colored leaflets of the hemlock will ' furnish most beautiful sprays. • All leaves that are small, of uneven shape, and serrated at the- edges, are welt adapted for this wog k. As they are collected, they should be placed be tween sheets of paper, but not close together; then pressed, by placing • a board on the top, with a weight upon it, to express any moisture that may be therein, and to render them quite flat. In the autumn, the sweet-scented I geranium leaves, the 'maple, thorn, chrysanthemum, wild - parsley, fern, and a multitude of others, may bo found, including the smaller sycamore and vine leaves; but they must- all have turned of a golden hue, or red ' dish-tinted yellow. Prepare the ar ticle to be'ornamented thus: . First rub the surface smoothly down with sand-riper; then coat it over " »WI black paint, which can be procured ready made at any oil-shop; when dzy, rub it down smoothly with pum ice-stone, and give two. more coats.

Gum the wrong side of theleaf, and press it on in its appointed place with a hard tuft of wadding, fastened tightly up in a piece of silk. COntinue this with the yrhoie of the leaves ; "and. when they are all gummed on, dis solve some :gelatine, or . isinglass; in warm water, and while . rather . warm brush it well over every portion of the work, Using the ..brush entirely one way, :not for Ward and back,-- When dry, give . .the work :three coats of the best copal varnish, letting the article remain a day or •two - .between. each coat.
