The late news from Cuba of the shameful butchery of a number of our fellow countrymen, and the struggles of that people for liberty, have excited our citizens, as are the people of Nashville, Tenn., and other portions of the country, to a decided manifestation of feeling.
    Last evening the market house was filled to overflowing, almost without a call, and apparently by intuition, when a regular organization of a Cuban meeting took place, and very able speeches were delivered on the occasion, in the usual happy and fluent styles of our townsmen, John Borden, Esq. and Adam Holt; gentleman not only known with us, but abroad, for their generosity and talents. The happiest success to them; may their fame be always coequal with their charity.
    After which, the following resolutions were read; and on motion of Squire Gill, Esq:, unanimously adopted:
    WHEREAS; Every historic account we have of the Island of Cuba, and the laws and institutions of old Spain, relative to the Government of the Island, and the evident uneasiness of her people always manifested under the stringent decrees of said Government, teach us that the burthensome taxes and tyrannical oppressions, heaped upon them by the mother country; and the unparalleled servitude of two-thirds of the Island--seemingly inflicted less for the purpose of raising a revenue than the testing of what a people can bear--are--save the bloody laws of a Draco, or the horrors of an inquisition--without a parallel in the annals of the world. And,
    WHEREAS, From what we know of the Island and her institutions, we cannot but believe it impossible for them, unaided, to make such a manifestation of ability, as to bring about an amelioration of their sufferings, by a relaxation of the reigns that hold them to the spurs of their oppressors. Therefore,
    Resolved, That we not only deeply sympathise with the Cubans in their sufferings, and in their struggles to throw off the galling yoke that oppresses them, that they may stand forth as freemen, in the full liberty of speech and action--but that we fully lend them our aid and assistance in securing and maintaining that liberty they have so long needed, and for which they are now so gallantly struggling.
    Resolved, also, That since a number of our gallant friends and countrymen have gone to that Island, many of whom have suffered ignominious deaths, at the hands of the hired tools of Royalty, for the glorious manifestations of an abiding sympathy with a distressed people would be significant of contemptible spirits in us, to gaze upon the scene with folded arms, nor lend the power of means and might, to rescue their lives from the danger that threatens them.
    Resolved, That a committee be appointed, whose duty it shall be to collect a means for defraying the expenses to New Orleans, (where provisions will be made for them,) of all those who may see it fit to volunteer in this spirited and glorious undertaking.
    Judge Rock, who filled the chair with great dignity and composure, then proceeded immediately to appoint the following gentlemen a committee:
                            Col. Samuel Stone                Adam Holt C.M.G.
                            John Borden, Esq.,               John Smart,
                            John Rock,                          Rev. John Tanner,
                            Wm. Riley, B. A.                 Wm. Hawkins, Sr.
    On motion of Col. Samuel Stone, Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Louisville Courier, Democrat, and Spirit of Progress.
    The meeting then adjourned, with loud huzzas for Borden, Holt, Cuba, and liberty.
