This baneful influence has thus far succeeded in defeat ing the efforts of all liberal-minded men in Spain to abolish slavery in Cuba, and in preventing the promised reform in that Island.

But the forty thonsand priests dotting every hamlet, as a rule, were but so many additional slave masters, and the parish systems over which they presided but so many spiritual planta tions.

In the interest of hu manity, of civilization, and progress, it was vj do noped tnat tne evil influence might be soon averted. In reference to the cap ture of the Virginius, and the inhuman and the illegal murder of fifty-three of the passengers and crew, he says that the Spanish government had recognized the justice of his demand, and had arranged for the immediate delivery of the vessel and for the surrender of the survivors of the passengers and crew and for a salute to the flag, and for proceedings looking to the punishment of those who may be prov ed to have been guilty of illegal acts of vi olence towards the citizens of the United States, and also towards indemnifying those who may be shown to be entitled to indemnity. ; The correspondence on the subject had been conducted in cypher and by cable, and was, therefore, not in a con dition to be submitted to Congress. The President expressed his conviction that the existence of African slavery in Cu ba is a principal cause of the lamentable condition of the Island, and does not doubt that Congress shares his hopes that it will soon be made' to disappear, and that peace and prosperity will follow-its abolition. He suggests two constitutional amendments, one to authorize the Presi dent to approve so much of any measure of Congress as his judgment may dictate without approving the whole, and the oth er to, provide that when an extra session of Congress is convened by Executive proc- lam&uon, , legislation snail be confined to power at Madrid, recognized by the home government, and an element more danger ous to the continued colonial relations be tween Cuba and Spain than that which in spired the insurrection at Tarra.

The revolu tion of 1854 came, and Castelar appeared for the first time as a publio orator. A perfect tempest of applause followed the effort, and ever afterward the multitudes thronged to hear him.
