This organization was composed of Whigs and self-respecting Democrats, who refused to submit any longer to the dictation of the Demo- cratic organization nnder the orders of the Southern slave-owners. To this new organization was also attracted the great majority of the thinking young men of the Free-Labor States. XXI. FILIBUSTERING. Cuba. — After the Mexican "War, about the time that Gen. Zachary Taylor became President (1849), — the Candidate of the Whig party, — a scheme, having its origin i...n the Slave-holding States, was set on foot to secure the annexation of Cuba to the United States. The motive for this movement is not difficult to divine. The honest President issued a proclamation, cautioning the people against violating the laws by engaging in such enterprises. Yet, in less than a year after its issue (1850), six hundred men — nearly all Americans — under Gen. Lopez, a Spaniard, eluding the subordinate United States officers, got to sea, and landed at Cardinas in the island of Cuba.
