Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Acquisition of Cuba: Speech of Hon. Miles Taylor, of La., Delivered in the House of Representatives, Feb'y 10, 1859
It is known to all that various events have transpired in the Island of Cuba, or in its waters, within the last few years, which have occasionally given rise to a good deal of irritation in the two countries 5 and which, at times, even seemed calculated to disturb the good under standing between them. N ow, sir, the President's attention has been necessarily directed to these causes of national disquietude, and it is to a desire of obviating them in the future that the recommendation con tained in his message must, in fairness, be attributed.
