is large, and is rendered insecure and depreciated In

ly waited the progress of events. Our om civil conflict
it too recent tor us not to nnclder the difficulties whch
surround a government distracted by a dynastic rebel
lion at home, at the flame time tht it has to cope with a
separate insurrection in a distant colony. But whatever
causes may have produced the situation which so griev
ously attects our interests, it exists with all its atteudant
evils operating directly upon this country and its people
Thus fur all the efforts ot Spain have proved abortive,
and time has marked no improvement in the situation.

this nature, where a considerable bod v of peoplo who
have attempted to free themsehes of the control of the

puuun oi lernniry. in power and in tumoral organ iration
as to constitute in fact

for the administration of internal policy and the execd
tton of its laws, pre.jartd and able to administer justice
at home as well as in its dealings w ith other lowers, it is
within the province of thofe oilier powers to recognize its
existence as a new and Independent nation. In such
cases other nations s uiply deal with an actually ezfstlug
condition of things, and recognize as one of the pmverb
or the earth that Iwdy politic which, posheteing the
necessary elements, has in fuct become a new power in
a word, the creation of a new state Is a fact. To establish
the condition ot things wisential to the recognition of thh
tact there must be a peoplo occupying a known territory
united under some known and denned form of govern
ment at knowledged by those subject thereto, in which
the functions ot government aie administered by usual
methods competent to in eta out justice to citizens and
strangers, to afford remedies fur public and for private
wrongs, and able to assume the correlative iutornutlonal
obligHtions and capable of performing the correspond
ing international duties resulting from its acquisition of
tho righ s of sovereignty. A power should exist complete
In its organization, ready to Uko and able to mtlutain
its place, among the nations of the earth. While con
scious that the insurrection in Cuba has shown a strength
and endurance which make it at least doubtful whether it
be In the power of h pain to subdue it, it seems unques
tionable that no such civil organization exist which
may be recognized as an independent govrmuent.oapahle
of performing its international obligations and entitled
to be treated as one of the powers of the earth. A recog
nition under such circumstances would be inconsistent
with the facts and would compel the power granting it
soon to support by force the government to which it had
really given its only real cl .im of existence. In my judg
mejt the United St it us should odhure io the policy and
the principle!! which have heretofore been its sure and
eafe guides in like contests between revolted colonies
i'nd th'-'ir mother country, and acting only upon the
lei rest evidence should avoid any possibility of suspicion
r uf Imputation.
A recognition of the Independence of Cuba being, in
my upiuion, unpracucaoie ana lndefens lble, tne ques
tion winch next presents itself is that of the recognition
of belligerent rights in the parties to the contest.
In a tormer message tu Uouyrees 1 had occasion to
consider this queitioa, and reached the conclusion
that t .6 conflict in Cuba, dreadful and devastating as
were its incidents, did not lise to the fearful dignity of
war. Regarding it now aiter this lape of time 1 am un
able to sat? that any notable success of any mirkej or
reid advance on the part of the insurgents has essen
tially changed the character of the contest. It has ac
quired greater ags, but n-;t greater or formidable pro
portion. It is possible that the acts of foreign powers,
and even the acts of Spain herself of this very nature,
might ba pointed to In defense of such reuoanlllmi.
Hut now, as in lis past historv, the United States Bhoidd
carefully avoid the fa Kb lights which might lad It luto
the mazs ot doubtful law and of questionable pro
Eriety, and adhere rlfcidly and Btoruly to the rule which
as baea Its guide, aud doing only tuBt which is lUhl
and honest and o( good report. The question of ac
cording to or of withholding rights of belligerency

In the sense of International law as war.

THB MEXICAN FBOMTUsV
The free zone, so called, several years since establish
ed by the Mexicau government tu certain of the states
of that republic adjacent to our frontier, remains in full
operation. It has always been materially injurious to
honest traffic for it operates as an incentive to traders in
ftlexioo to supply without custom charges the waute of
Inhabitants onwhis side the line, and prevents the same
wants from being supplied by merchants of the United
States, thereby to a considerable extent defrauding our
revenue and checking honest commercial enterprise.
lepredations by armed bands from Mexico on the
people of Texas near ihe frontier continue. Thoogh the
main object of the incursions is robbery, they frequently
result in the murder of unarmed and peaceably dit-nosed
rersons, and in some instances even the United States
post-offices and mail communications have been attack
ed. Henewed remonstrances upon this subject have
been addressed to the Mexican government, nut without
much apparent effect. The military f -roe of this govern
ment disposable for service In that quarter Is quite inad
equate to effectually guard the line eseu at those points
whereft he incursions are usually made. An experiment
of an armed vessel on the Kio (irande for that purpose is
on trial, and it is hoed tint, if not thwarted by the sua.

THB DCTY ON TEA AMD COVFKK.
One measure for Increasing the revenue, ana the only
on I thiak of, is tne reetoratlnn of the duty on tea and
coffee, 'i'uew duties would add, probably, eighteen
million dollars t- the pie ent amount received from
tmpirts, and would in no way Increase the prices paid
for those articles by the consumers. These articles are
the products of countries collecting revenue from ex
ports and as we, the largnt consumers, reduce the
duties, they proportionally increase them. Wltn this ad
dition to the ievenue many duties now collected and
whton give but an Insignificant return for cost of colleo
tlon might be remitted and to the direct advantage of
onsumers st home. I would mention tnose articles
which enter Into manufactures of all sorts. All duty
paid upon such articltsg-i dhectly to the cost of the ar
ticle when manufactured here and must bn paid for by
t!m consumers.
These duties not only eims from the consumers at
home, but act as a prot ctton to foreign manufacturers
of the same completed nicies in our own and distant
marktts.

LOSS OF HAIR.
Boston. July ia.
M !. Jewpii Burnett & Co.:
For many months my hair had been falling off,
until I was fearful of losing' it entirely. The skis
upon my head became gradually more and more ia
flamed, so that I could not touch it without pain.
By the advice of my physician, to whom you had
shown your process of purifying the Oil. I commenced
its use the last week in June. The first application
allayed the itching and irritation. In three or four
days the redness and tenderness disappeared, the
hair oeased to fall, and I have now a thick growth of
new hair.
Yours, very truly, SUSAN R. EDDY.
A REMARKABLE CASE.
East Middleboso', Mass., June 9, 1864.
Messrs, BuknittA: Co.t
When my daughter's hair came off she had been
afflicted with neuralgia in her head for three years.
She had used, during that time, many powerful ap
plication.. These, with the intense heat caused by
the pains, burned her hair so badly that in October,
1861, it all came off, and for two years after her head
was as smooth as her face.
, Through the recommendation of a friend, sh. was
induced to try your Cocoaine, and the result was
astonishing. She had not used half the contents of a
bottle belure her head was covered with a fine younc
hair. In four months the hair has grown eeveral
inches la length, very thick, soft and fine, and of a
darker eol.r thaa formerly.
With respect, WM. S. EDDY.
