THK JOURNAL. Camden, May 20,1809 THE FIREMEN S PARADE. On Tuesday, the 11th inst, the Fire Department of Camden were out in full force, and made a very fine appearance There may be, and no doubt are, other places that have a much larger fire department, than ours, but we venture j the assertion, that there is do otherj place of its size in the State, that can boast of as strong and well organized a"_firc department as Camden. But to the Parade. At three o'clock, the different companies handsomely uniformed, with their engines tastefully decorated with flowers, assembled in front of the market, a procession was formed in the fol-1 lowing order: Camden Independent F. E. Company. Capt. 1)eas' Company, ftnnfc Jenkins' Com Dan v. vf ^ - I ? Capt. Marks' Company. Preceded by a band of music, the line of march was taken up, under the direction cf J. K. WmiERsrooN and C. J. Dunlap, Fire 3Iasters. We missed the manly form of Maj. E. E. Sill, Chief of the Board of Fire Masters, who was, unfortunately, prevented from joining the procession. They marched in good order up Broad Street to the public square, thence to the court house, and returned to the starting point, filling their engines at the different wells on the route, ready for action. Then came the tug of war. Every fireman was determined that his engine 6hould excel the others in the trial which could throw water the greatest distance. The old Independent, of course did not expect the other companies to compete with her?she is one of the finest hand engines in the State, and a better company of firemen cannot be mustered ? ' ~ aifrtantinrt pk-irlilC^nn in any piUWy UUb CUCpiUg VUMIIVWVVU or Columbia. The three colored companies performed to the satisfaction and delight of every one. The greatest enthusiasm, and a commendable spirit of rivalry pervaded the whole exhibition. Wo have never known an altemoon, crowded as the streets were, pass off more pleasantly. The distance thrown by each eDgine is as follows: No. 1, 105 feet. No. 2, 124 " Hydraulian, 139 " Independent, 211 " We defy any town in the State to show a more <ffieient and well manned colored firo department than Camden They are all first rate companies, and it would be difficult to say which was best. All dispersed quietly after the exhibition nf water tlirowiuer was over. ? "v- "" ? o The old I. F. E. Co., with a number of invited guests repaired in the evening to the town hall, to partake of their anniversary supper. The table was bountifully supplied with every luxury, from fine turkey gobblers, to delightful fruit cake, all provided by that young prince of caterers, Mr. Geo. Crosby. Wc were among the invited guests, and when we heard that friend Crosby was "chief cook," wc knew what we might expect. The supper could not have been surpassed. Tho Hon. A. A. MooitE, lntendant, presided at the table, and delivered a touching speech to the fire company. It came from a warm heart, and that mutually good feeling that has always existed between the Iutcndant and fire companies, was cemented afresh. Capt. DePass was then called on, and, as he always does, delivered a floe speech. Everything passed off quietly, and before that?oh, .?was all gone, all retired with many wishes for the return of the Fireman's Parade. * SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. Wc call the attention of our readers to the card of Mr. J. II. Miller, General Agent of the Southern Life Insurance Company. Its features and the high character of the names attached to it arc such as will commend it to our citizens. It has been introduced to our people under the most flattering auspices; and we advise our patrons J-: : p?r f)ln;P wno may OCSiru ail ii;guiau? IV. ...V.. Jives, to examine well, the claims of this Southern Company. We learn that wherever it has been introduced, ? it has met with the most liberal support. Home institutions ought to be patronized. A GOOD BUSINESS. The Piedmont Life Insurance Company i f Virginia, is doiDg a Landsome business in this Stutc. Within the lust six months it has issued four hundred policies in Edgefield, two hundred iD Abbeville, besides a large number in the other upper Districts of the State. It is the purpose of the company to establish a branch office in this State, thus 'affording all the advantages of a home company, by investing in the State all the funds received in it. Sec advertisement in another column. CUBA, THE UNITED STATES, AND THE TBI PARTITE ALLIANCE. The subject of Cuba and its affairs is no new question with the American people. This has formed for years the subject of discussion in the various Cabinet Councils of the United States. It was regarded within the scope of the Monroe doctrine. This did not propose to interfere with uionarchinl countries already existing on the Continent, but to prevent additions to their institutions. The Government clearly proclaimc the rigl t of every people to judge of their own laws and determine their own rulers. While, therefore, it eonght the dis i -Ifoorlu in nYtfifpnno placement ui iiviiv,uii(.?u; ... ?, it claimed any increase or accessions to the autocratic principle as an assault upon the policy and the institutions of this country. It was during the administration of President Monroe that this question was first prominently brought to the consideration of the American people. Great Britain was anxious for colonial increase of her maritime power, negotiated for its purchase from Spain. It was then that Mr. Adams, the Minister of the United 'States, ex pressed to the Court of Saint James the opinions of this Government. He announced distinctly that "the transfer o.'Cubato Great liritian would bean event unpropitious to the interests of the Union. The question both of our r ght and our power to prevent it, if necessary, by force, already obtrudes itself upon our councils, and the Administration is called upon, in performance of its duties to the nation, at least to use all the means within its competency to guard against and defend it." o r* And this has been the repeated declaration of every Administration which has been called upon to express its views. Thus only three years atcr, in 1S2G, when Spain sought to reconquer the South American Republics, tin- qucs ticn of Cuba again arose, and Henry Clay then Secretary of State thus declared the policy of this Government. He said : "If the war between Spain and the new Republic should continue, and the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico should become the object and the theatre of it, their fortunes have such a connection with the prosperity of tlie United States as they could not be indifferent spectators ; and the possible contingencies of such a protracted war might bring upon the Govermcnt of (lie United S'ates du>ics and obligation-, the performance of which, however pain ful it might be, they might not be at liberty to decline." In fact one of the strongest utterances on the subject, that was made by ? T?. A 1 this (jrovernmcnt in too/. xi was men practically affirmed, that any attempt to transfer the dominion of Cuba to any of the Powers of Europe, would be considered au act of hostility to the Uuitcd States. The following language was used: "It is impossible that the United States could acquiesce in the transfer of Cuba from the dominion of Spain to any of the great maritime powers of Europe; that of the right of the United States to interfere in relation to these islands I presumed there could be little doubt; that while the general rule of international law which forbids the interference of one State in the affairs of another was freely admitted, there were yet exceptions to the rule in relation to the laws of defence and self-preservation, which all nations acknowledged, and that the prceent was precisely such a case." Hut the niorc explicit even was the instructions of Mr. Forsyth's in 1840. His words were: "Should you have reasons to suspect any designs on the part of Spain to transfer voluntarily her title to the island, whether of ownership or possession, and whether permanent j or temporary, to Great Hritian or to I any other power, you will dtstictly state that the United States will prevent it at all hazards, as they wiffaia/ forei'jh military wafer any pretext whatever." The United States has thus uniformly, and by its unbroken declarations to the world, avowed that it would never peaceably consent to the occupation of Cuba by Great Hritiun or any otherEupean power, under any pretext whatever. In the forcible language of Mr. Buehanan, "the fate of the island must ever he deeply interesting to the people of the United States. We can never consent that this island shall ever be come the property of any other European power. Iti possession of Great Britain or any other strung naval power, it might prove ruinous both to our domestic and foreign commerce, and even endanger the union of the States. The highest and the first duty of every independent wution is to provide for its own safety, and acting upon this piinciple we should be compelled to resist the acquisition of Cuba by any powerful maritime btuto with all the means which Providence has placed at our comiiiau Wc do not understand, however, t there was ever any declaration agai its remaining, as long us the assent the people of Cuba was obtained, ti colony of Spain. Hut vi-t the United States hare hesitated to announce, boil) to Engl; and to Franco, that the time might co when either by "an "amicable umn mcnt with Spain, or in case of a war, of the independence of the Island, : consent of theft inhabitants, the TJ??i States may regard it as their policy: duty to incorporate Cuba as a part their political body. And this, we comprehend, to be true meaning of Mr. Everett's circi in 1852 to the Ministers of England i France, when he declined, on the p of this Government, to enter into an liancc with them to guarantee the ti of Cuba for all time to Spain tl stated clearly the position of the coi try in these emphatic words: uNo i ministration of this Government, hi ever strong in public confidence in c I er resDCClH, could stand a day urn the odium of having stipulated with I {rroat Powers of Europe, that in no ture time, under no change of cifci ' t O stances, by no amicable arrangem with Spain, by. no act of lawful, w (should that calamity unfortunately cur,) by no consent of the tnhabita of the island, should they, like the j sessions of Spain on the American e tincnt, succeed in making thctnsel independent j in fine, by no ovcrrul necessity of self-preservasion, should United States ever make the ncquisit of Cuba." To this alliance we believe Gr liritain and France committed the selves. Put then there was a very differ condition of affairs. Since then, Spain has disavowed 1 former Government. She has thro off her yoke. She has deposed I Queen hy viitue of the inalienable ri< of people to create tlu ir own Gove menf, choose their own rulers. Ci proposes only to do precisely the sa thing. If, therefore, Cuba prefers n maintains her independence and appl for admission ss a member of the Am ican Union, we do not sec. with what lor or pica Great Britain or Frai.cc eo pretend to interfere'. Tiiey must f] rectify Spain herself and restore Isabt the Second to her lost crown.
