      Modern Buccaneers. Wars For The Purposes...

      MODERN BUCCANEERS . Wars for the purposes of conquest and territorial aggrandisement , have generally been supposed to be the peculiar and exclusive offspring of Kingly ambition . ** If the people were wise , " runs an old political aphorism , " war is a game that Kings would not be permitted to play at . " It has been reserved for the last quarter of a century to prove that this , like many other bequests of " the wisdom of our ancestors , " is not to be implicitly believed . Unfortunately the most flagrant examples of unprovoked and unjustifiable aggression , have recently been set to the world by the most powerful and perfect Republic ever yet known in history .

      The two last American mails , closely following each other , bring intelligence of the organisation , departure , landing , and defeat of an expedition for the purpose of seizing Cuba . It will be recollected that about twelve months ago , aa army for the same purpose was openly recruited for in the Southern States , and , that by the interference of the Central Executive Government , a stop was put to the open organisation and collection of what was clearly a piratical force . It now seems , however , that the design was only seemingly abandoned ; and , in the interval an expedition—variously estimated at from eight to twelve thousand men , fully provided with munitions of war—has been fitted out at

      various Southern ports , under the pretence that they were emigrants for California , and that the vessels containing a portion , at least , of these modern Buccaneers , sailed ostensibly for Chagres en route to the Pacific State , but , in reality , to make a descent on Cuba , for the purpose of wresting it from Spain . When the expedition had sailed , the Washington Government immediatel y dispatched ships of war to intercept it , if possible ; and , if it had already landed , to act in the friendly spirit required by the existing treaties between the Governments of the two Countries . The first portion of the expedition had , in the mean time , been routed by the Cubans . General Lopez , a Venezuelan adventurer ,

      who was in command , made a hasty retreat , after suffering considerable loss ; and for the present , at least , Cuba is saved to Spain . Whether the influence of the repulse will be temporary , or permanent , remains to be seen . Our own opinion is , that the attempt will be renewed , as early as feasible opportunities for doing bo present themselves . For the time being tho almost ridiculous failure of an expedition which was preceded , and accompanied by such magniloquent proclamations as those of General Lopez , may have a detering effect ; but , there are influences at work in the bosom of American society , which we fear will , for a considerable time , stamp its policy with a warlike and aggressive character .

      In the first place , there exists a strong , and perhaps not unnatural desire , that the whole of the vast continent should become a Federated Republic . Schemes have been occasionally heard of among the old world monarchs , of founding new kingdoms , under scions of the reigning dynasties , in order to counteract , or at all events to counterpoise the Republican principle . But if there be one political idea more prevalent among the citizens of the United States than another , it is that America shall not be subjected to monarchical institutions , and that the whole of its enormous territories , from the Atlantic to the Pacific , shall be thoroughl y Republican .

      Of this general feeling , intriguing , selfish , and interested parties avail themselves , to promote schemes of personal or sectional aggrandisement . Some time since we showed at length , the nature of the influence exerted by tho slave-holding interest—their desire to maintain an equality iu the Legislature and Executive , and the means they have had recourse to for that purpose . Seeing that the Free States were naturall y outstripping them in population , wealth , and real political power , they attempted to counter-balance the growth of an influence inimical to slavery , by wresting from Mexico the large territory of

      Texas , out of which several Slav © States may be manufactured . This was effected by a band of adventurers in tho teeth of all ialternationallaw , and without any sanction from the Federal Government ; but as soon aa they succeeded , and applied to be admitted into the Northern Federation , the illegality and unjustifiable character of the means by Avhich they had gained possession of the territory of a neighbouring friendly power , formed no barrier to . ; ihat admission . Success in their case , aa in many others , gilded Grime . The result is forcibly- described by the New York Tribune , one of the ablest and . hi ghly pTuftipled . JQW . nals in the ; Union ,

      In the name of freedom the slave-hold er , want to make Cuba a source of additi onal strength to the slave-holding interest , and ft means of perpetuating that moat accursed If human institutions . If the people of Cub wish to be released from S panish dominatio n * and either to govern themselves or to form part of the American Confederation , they have the means of showing that such is their desire When they have done that , and appeal for hel p as a struggling , oppressed , and suff ering nation , let them by all means have it . If the Emperor of Austria , when beaten by the gallant Hungarians , had a right to call in the aid of his brother despot of Russia to help ia restoring his lost dominion—if the Republican

      arms of France were in any sense justified in being fratricidally used for the suppression of the French Republic , and the restoration of Papal oppression and tyranny—surel y the same power inheres , the same ri ght exists , on the side of nations struggling to be free , and free nations ready tohelpthem when required . But the objection to this Cuban Expedition is first , that no such ground for foreign interference has been laid ; that it is not intended to spread freedom , but perpetuate slavery , not only in Cuba but in the United States ; and that for such shameless , selfish , and abominable objects , the dealers in human flesh , land like pirates upon the shores of a foreign country , for the purpose of subverting the existing Government . They invoke the sacred names

      ot Liberty and Humanity to cover their rapacity and their lust of Empire ; and whatever might be the ultimate result of such a struggle , it could not fail , in the long run , to engender a world-wide war between Monarchical and Republican States . The readiness with which the despots of Europe would avail themselves of any tangible excuse for precipitating such a struggle at the present moment , was shown by the bloodthirsty and truculent articles of the Times , as soon as it was known that the expedition had sailed . That journal is the undoubted organ of the absolutists and the money-mongers , not only of Europe , but the world ; and it is evident , from its tone on this

      occasion , they wish for nothing more than a fair excuse for precipitating a war , for the purpose of drowning Democracy in blood , They believe they have the means of doing that at present ; but , if the people are allowed to become more enlightened—to gradually posses ! themselves of more social and political influence , and to assert and exercise that influence through peaceable and constitutional channels , the days of absolutism—of the tyranny of the Few over the Many—are numbered . The genuine and permanent triumph of Democracy can onl y be obtained by its

      achieving a victory over the ignorance and prejudices of men by its enlisting in its service their passions , their intellects , and their energies . To gain ascendancy by means of brute force , would debase , vitiate , and lower Democracy to the level of the old Despotisms . It would win its supremacy by force and fraud , and by the same means would have to sustain it . It is needless to add , that the world is not to be emancipated from poverty , ignorance , vice , and crime , by such agencies . Democracy must base its empire upon the enlightened opinion and the general affections of the people who recognise , in just and equal laws

      and institutions , the direct and natural result of those great and benign principles of Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity , on which alone society can be safely or securel y founded . We earnestly trust that the real Democrats in the United States will prove , in the case of any future attempts of this description , that they are adverse to such violations of the Law of Nations , and the dictates of Justice ; and that they will cause the shame and the disgrace to be fastened upon the true parties , who , under tho guise of Democracy , in reality seek to perpetuate the worst forms of human slavery and oppression .

      The Price Op A Perjured Prince. Sir Robe...

      THE PRICE OP A PERJURED PRINCE . Sir Robert Walpole and Napoleon ruled on the avowed principle that " every man has his price . " They reduced corruption to a system , and , certainly , the readiness with which the bribes they offered were clutched at , was by no means calculated to disprove their theory of government . It has been reserved for the Nephew of the Emperor to give the most practical and unblushing illustration of the truth of his Uncle ' s maxim , to be found in modern times . Scarcely was the BUI passed , which deprived several millions of Frenchmen of the franchise , than the

      Assembly was asked to raise the salary of Louis Napoleon from £ 20 , 000 a-year to £ 120 , 000 . For betraying , insulting , and robbing of their constitutional rights , one half of those whose votes placed him in the Presidential chair , the miserable and despicable huckster , asked that his pay should be increased five times overt It is calculated that the Disfranchising Bill will take away the suffrage from at least 3 , 000 , 000 of voters , whose rights were as solemnly guaranteed to them by the Consti- tution as the right of "tho seventeen con- spirators" to set in the Assembly , or the Pre * sident to exercise the executive power attached I to his office . For his consent and comp licity f

      in this most monstrous aud infamous trausac- - tion , he asks to have his salary increased from a 1 , 200 , 000 to 3 , 000 , 000 francs a year , or , , just at the rate of one franc per annum for r every voter struck off the register , and driven n without tho pale of the Constitution , by him- iself and the perjured majority , whoso tool ho 10 has become . Some one has wittily , but truly described ed a knavo to be a fool with circumbendibus . The hei

      truth ofthe description has been shown in the-he * present instance . The President has performed edi his part of the compact first ; he has p layed edi into the hands of the Legitimists and Orleafl-iflists , whose object it is to get rid of him as woo iom as they can , and now thoy are either unable hlei or unwilling to fulfil their share of the con-ontract , and give him the price of his treachery eryy to the Republic and the people of France . He lies has lost himself irretrievably .
