EStHAM) AND (TEA
Letters from Madrid, which we find
((noted as from sources entitled to con
fidence, express the opinion that Ihe
project of selling Cuba and Porto Rico
to Great Britain has many friends in
Spain. These are not, however, with
i the Cortes or the military. Cuba is a
' rich Held for the reward of partisans.
It has fat appointments for which the
aspiring and the greedy thirst, and
these will not willingly forego their
opportunities of promotion or gain for
any mere inducement of prospective
advantage to the nation, in the extin
guishment of her debt, tbo consolida
tion of her power, or the improvement
of her institutions. That till these ob
jects would be advanced by selling the
•Spanish possessions in the West In
dies is apparent to all observers, yet
it is equally evident that there are in
terests and prejudices, and feelings of
national pride, and the characteristic
Spanish love of dominion, that will
prove strong obstacles to any proposi
tion for parting with the island at all
Time, however, is multiplying so ma
ny arguments of necessity, so clearly
developing tbo elements of disturbance
within the island, and the accumula
ting perils which its geographical po
sition offers to permanent Spanish as
cendancy, that it would not be surpri- j
sing to Jini C some day, and under some j
sudden pressure, a resolution taken to i
get rid of a troublesome possession on j
the most profitable terms.
Great Britain has a longing eye to ;
the possession of Cuba. It would serve j
the commercial purposes which are j
the ruling considerations of her foreign ]
policy, giving her the command of the
Gulf of Mexico, and the key of the
channels of communication, by whom
soever made, across the Isthmus be
tween the two oceans. No Govern
ment is more sensitive upon such
points, or more prompt to seize every
opportunity to advance these objects,
or less scrupulous in the means em
ployed in improving or in making op
portunities and pretences for extend
ing her power and influence. We
have 'no faith in her moderation, and
no doubt of the strong desire she has
for the possession of Cuba as the pivot
of a commercial policy which, main
tained by her fleets, would embrace in
its scope the control of the trade of
half of this continent, and the groat
marts of Asia and the South Seas.
Yet wc are by no means convinced
that Great Britain would venture to
purchase Cuba, under existing cir
cumstances, while a chance remains
for its being otherwise, kept, from pas
sing into the hands of the United
States. Her policy is eminently that
of peace ; particularly with the United
States. Her statesmen, of whatever
party, know bow essential to her pros
perity at home, to the employment of
an immense amount of her capital, and
the consequent subsistence of many
thousand of her operatives, is uninter
rupted commerce with the United
.Slates- The same causes which make
Cuba an uneasy possession to Spain—
its contiguity to tlie United States, the
sympathy between a large class of its i
inhabitants and those of the neighbor- !
ing republics, and the growing desires \
on both sides for a closer political con
ncction—would deter a prudent nation
from seeking to succeed to tbo etnbar- '
rassmenls of Spain ; much more from
paying largely for all the hazards and
expenses of a precarious dominion. —
To Kngland, the possession would
bring further embarrassments, which
Spain does not feel. The abolition of
African slavery is a settled principle
ot British Government; but we should
think the boldest of her statesmen
might shrink from the responsibility of
paying a hundred and fill millions,
for the sake of trying the Jam Va ex
periment over again, with i ■> half
million of slaves in Cuba. Site could
not retain them as laves, without a
convulsion .inning her philanthropists
at home ; and she could not carry out
her emancipation schemes, without
hazards and costs, the prospect of
which might well startle her into cau
tion how she meddles with such dan
gerous affairs.
If Spain were willing to sell, which
she is not, at least yet, Great Britain
is hardly ready to buy. Her policy
is that Spain should be maintained in
possession—that all changes of Gov
ernment over the Island should be
discountenanced, and tilings be kept
as they arc, us loog as possible. She
will lend money, a-.-ist Madrid finan
ciering, use all her influence, and in
case of an emergency send a fleet to
prevent any body else from getting
possession of Luba; but much as she
would desire to own it, we do not be
lieve she is r ady to close with any
oiler for the purchase, or that she will
be until it becomes a direct question
whether she will lake it or it will fall
into the possession of the United
States. To prevent that dreaded
event she might run all the risks of
buying a discontented people, in order
to subvert their whole domestic policy
and maintain them in subjection
against all the influences which would
incite them to insubordination, resis
tance and revolution at last. But if
she is wise she will forego the tempta
tion ; and, counting the inevitable con
sequences. surrender Cuba to her na
tural destiny, to be part of an Ameri
can system, not a dependency on any
antagonist system having its seat on
the other side of the Atlantic.

THE CASK OF MR. THRASHER,
The telegraph announces the trial
[ and conviction ol' Mr. Thrasher, on a
charge of high treason against the
I Spanish Government. It also informs
I ns that Mr. Owen, the I . S. Consul at
Havana, appeared in his liehalf. It
states that the sentence pronounced
against Mr. Thrasher was eight years
condemnation to the chain gang in
.Spain.
Judging front the lights before ns,
Mr. Thrasher’s trial and condemna
tion appear to he it mockery—a farce
got up and enacted to satisfy the re
quirements of the treaty of ’Do. If
there is not enough known to form a
Correct judgment of the dealings of the
Spanish authorities in this east;, the
fault is with u Government which con
ceals its proceedings from the knowl
edge of the world, and suffered its pri
soner to languish in a dungeon in ig
norance of the cause of his arrestor
the crime imputed to him.
The case, as presented, is this : Mr.
Thrasher was arrested and contined
tor some hidden cause. He was lock
ed up for more than a month in a
close, damp and noxious dungeon ; du
ring all of which time neither he nor
his friends were informed of the crime
charged against him.
The next we hear of him, he has
been convicted of high treason and
condemned to an ignominious punish
ment ; and that the U- S. Consul ap -
peared in his behalf. It is not under
stood that time was allowed him, or
opportunities granted him to bring for
ward evidence in justification of his
conduct, or in refutation of the wit
nesses against him. The government
took ample time, and employed abun
dant means to have him accused: but
whilst these preparations were going
on against him, he was a close priso
ner, and himself and friends studiously
excluded from all knowledge of his im
puted offence, and the nature of the
proof by which they were to be sus
stantiuted. This, we contend, was a
gross violation of the treaty of 1795, a
mere mockery of law.
No man, however innocent, can es
cape condemnation, where any one is
interested in his removal, it he is to
be arrested upon secret information,
and hept in close confinement until
brought forth to be arraigned and con
demned. No time was allowed him
to prepare hisdefer.ee; no opportunity
to rebut evidence ; none to explain his
conduct, and none to weigh the cir
cumstances and proofs upon which ( ue
Government relied to produce convic
tion. Everything that has yet trims
pired combines to stigmatize the pro
ceedings in this case as inquisitorial,
arbitrary and in defiance of treaty ob
ligations.
The next arrival from Havana may
throw some light upon this mysterious
transaction. Hut it should be re mem
bered that the Government will per
mit nothing to appear in the public
press in Mr. Thrasher’s behalf. Me
can get nothing from that source
which is not to the taste and in justi
fication of the authorities which con
demned him. It is only through pri
vate channels his justification will ev
-ler be made known. All the avenues
of public light are closed to him. And
; such is the espionage of the Cuban
rulers that even his personal friends
! may be indisposed to risk a simi
-1 lar fate by volunteering anything in
his behalf. Up to the last dates Ironi
Washington, no complaint had been
laid before his own Government in his
1 behalf. The American Cabinet had
1 no official knowledge of his arrest, or
the causes which led to it. M hatever
was done was undertaken upon the
rumors of the day. There Ims been
gross dereliction or deception some
where ; and the mortification at the
j suspicion that there should have been
any w ant of interest manifested for
him bv the representative of his Gov
| eminent in Havana, is aggravated by
j the fear that he may have fallen a
victim to this indifference. If the
NO T 4
Spanish Government desires to revr
I hlibiisleri»m iu this country, it is pu
I suing the most effective system of pr
pagandisru it could adopt.

to thinking about the matter, no Iu
ther effort need be made:
“People are beginning to vcntila
public halls, so that one can soractim
hear a lecture without being oblig
to inhale other people’s cast off hrea
with its foul gases ; hut churches gc
erally hold close communion, and wi
most brotherly pertinacity tlie sat
mouthful of air is breathed by l
whole, congregation. Hister llrov
throws it out ot her lungs with a ft
seeds of consumption in it, and th
brother Jones takes it into his che
and gives it back with a tobacco Have
and so on round, each 6ne supplyir
from Ids or her store house some an
ma'i matter to make the precious littl
morsel of breath, shut up within th
four walls, good and thick for famil
consumption. If their minds do no
become assimilated by a communion u
Ciith, their bodies might by the genet
<d union and communion, and mix in
up of the gases and vapors of tliei
mortal part. People who would no
eat out of the same dish with another
or sip with the same spoon, think no
tiling of taking into their lungs, an*
Incorporating with their hlook the par
tides of foul matter which has passei
off from the other’s system. W e wool
much rather submit to an indiscrimi
natc use of tooth brushes than o
breath. It would not appear half s
disgusting to put another person’
tooth brush into one’s n.outh as i
would be to take his east out breatl
into one’s lungs; and in a crowded
church, without great care in vcntila
ting, this process is regularly going on
and so wo just as regularly go off.”
