En tertaiingi' the views wvihi I al ways have on the subject., I was forced to exelai m that the spechl could not be suiccessfuilly aniswered . le hais not thlrtust him iselfI tponi thle llose anS'.id his speechi upott the cotuntry, ini the wvreckless style of maniJgst des/ing ; not' jumt' into his conclusions wvith the prodigality of a youniig-bhood, wvho scorns the lcssonts iif history andti expieni(ice ; bu11t hias armied himsl~lf wvi th pirofountd thiotight, dheelp resear'ch an I caretid Iprepaurationii, the (inly mean1tls ofi a reililc produe ion. Pecrhaps Mr'. Boyce is ntot, a maun of' the lirst talents ; lbnt the as. sid..otus antd sober tiannier' wvith whlich lie regards his subhjects ; and1( theL strength and sintcrity with which lie treats them, will always miake his spieechies of the fi rst .imp tortancee and htimtself' a mani of the highest gradle of ulseliness. One of' the objections utrged1 nainst thte spec. ht is that. it was iill-timed. Surely nio tim110ecan lbe ina~tppropr11ite to imatke a great, effort to arr'est the curlrenlt of' public opinion, wvhich is t nding to what ia smeerle minid cion cei ves to be ser'iously himu tl'id to his counttry. It is the avowed pultiros oif a party in the South, anld clearly the inltenltion oif' the admrinlistration, to acqtuire Cuba. And, thlough the en' thusiasm upon the subject has sonie. whait, abated, it is to be feared thit it is only a dormant armistice. Stichi being the case it was p:-ope'r for a patr'iot, sustaining a fhvolIuable emi. nence, to raise his waring voib e. 'Ther~e are three points of' view in which every question, t hat comnes be fore thle country, should be regarded by the Statesman ; first, its bearings considered nationally, secondly, its bearings considered sectionally, and thirdly, its beari ngs upon the interests of the State of the representative. Perhaps a regard to self preservation aid self' interest would suggest their ii p(rIanlce in icoiiverted order. low ever that may be, those three phases are immediately suiggested, by every subject, to the leg_-islator. Nor is either o. thern unimportant. No true hearted American enn feel a liostility to the welfiare of these States in a federal point of view, simply bieenuse' he believes the vested powers have been perverted. While we Ieninil in the Union wo iist consider the good of the whole as the goo I of' ev ery part, and do til we can to promnote the original object of' the f'ederation. As the acquisit'on of Cuiba can have no special bearing upo I the Stae of' South Carolina, but can oIly effect her as her interests are iiseparally coI nect ed with those of the entire Sot, Mr. Boye accordingly only notices the importance of the acquisition as it may affect the general go vermnielt and as it may aflfect the South. lie clearly slows, to liiy satisfaction, Ohat while Cuba reinaills ill the hanid.s of Spain and continues to ble a lave holding commnunity, we are as wel off in a naitional point of view without. it. Only in a cornmercial point of view is it probable that we miiiglht be benefited by the aeiit I lion ; and even the c ini micial advantage., lie I thinks, mtiiglit be filly realized by a liberal po icy of levying ilutit-. l Ie also s cS ily slhoaw, that thv inte. resits of*Sou;the(rn inlstit utionis cn be str I ghened bv tle addi i ion (f' such a slave conino ity As thlii result of his inivestigationli of the sub jeet, lie sets forth tle f'ealtres (if slavery, as it exists oni tle il-,land of Cubha, so diere nt to that of slavery 11111ong the Southern States aid the state of tile poildationl as being in so nloXious a condition, that nolle 1bnt I he visinary, as it s em Lt ie, can fili to agree with his conelnsionis. ie says it is not our po'i'y to suffer Cuba either to be Aicalized or to fiall into the lalds of1 al')y oherIli p o w 'elr.
