TIIU ACQUISITION OF CUBA. Within the last few weeks public attention has been turned to the acquisition of this beautiful island, and it is gratifying to know that the Administration is moving in the matter, nnd ns soon as the Kansas difficulties are settled we shall see the President and his able cabiuet bending their entire energy in the prosecution of so desirable a result. Cuba must be ours, either by conquest or purchase. The long existing difficulties between Spain and this government arc about to be settled. The Court of Madrid must not only apologise, but make ample reparation for insults and indignities heaped upon the American nation under the imbecile administration of Millard Fillmore. The probabilities arc that Castillian pride will do neither. In that case, Mr. Buchanan will do what every American citizen ardently desires, rccommend an immediate declaration of war. In such an event, the Queen of the Antilles will become a part and parcel of the Great Republic in less than six months.— The Democracy of the country look to their Administration to extend the public Jj domain, and, if we mistake not, another star ere long will adorn the flag of the confedcracy.

,»h86F"BInck Republican candidates for Congress in the eighth district arc bccoming as thick as blackbirds in a corn-field.— The fellows secin to think a nomination equivalent to an election. Like the maid and the milk pail, wo fear they will be sadly disappointed. The district we admit is close, and can only be carried for the nigger part}- by importation of votes, as was the case iu 1850. Wo say now in advance, to whoever may be the happy recipient of a Black Republican Congressional Convention, that he will find the Democracy up and doing, with a champion worthy of their truest steel—one who can advocate popular sovereignty with as much real and eloquence, as James Wilson denounced and ridiculed it in 1S5G. Let the Africans turn out their best nag, for we arc keen to got one more" lick at niggorism.

IfifWehave received a letter from Austin IT. Brown, requesting us to meet with the Democratic Executive Committee to 'advise and counsel upon the answer of the nominees of the 8th of January Convention. Not having the time or disposition to attend this caucus, we most respectfully decline. But we would counsel and advise Mr. Brown and all other Democrats conncctcd with the 23d of February Convention, to quit wrangling and interrogating the candidates, and go to work like men and elect them. Lccompton or Anti-

Lccompton has nothing to do with our State election. The poor, miserable fraud is alread}- a "dead cock in the pit," and it is time that Democrats were paying more attention to the election of their candidates !.who have already been sufficiently interrogated.

loT The recent disturbance in the Dcrnratic ranks over the Lccompton Constitution we are gratifyed to sec is fast, disappearing. Its success or defeat should -not disturb the harmony of the party.— We sincerely hope and trust that it may

be

defeated in the lower house, but should it prove otherwise, we shall yield to the decision of the Administration, in whose hands rests tho future welfare of the Dcmooraoj.

9SF Our equinoctial storm commenced .on last Tuesday, and wound up sullenly on Wednesday evening. Thursday morning opened clear and beautiful. The warm tunshino and the warbling" of the birds gave unmistakable evidence of the presence of genial spring.

JOMt VAN SHREK.

It will bo recollected thai in 1848 this distinguished individualbolted from the Democratic party and became a

rabid

free-

soilcr, arid did as much as any man of that day in defeating the old veteran, LEWIS CASS. In a convivial speech not long since he used the following language, describinghis sufferings after leaving the grand old party: ,t "Well, gentlemen, there is one family has got back into the Democratic party to stay for life. It is the Van Burcn family and if deserters only knew the long, dreary road they have to travel, the deep roaring streams they have to Bwim their horses over, the dark stormy nights where the wind will blow down their tents, and they will be forced to sleep on the ground with the rain pouring on them in torrents, the high, steep-and rugged mountains they have to climb, the interminable deserts where there is no wood nor water they have to cross, in the road they have taken away from their 'father's house,' they would in my opinion, take the straightest ftute back into the Democratic camp."

AN ATTEMPT TO DISORGANIZE THE DEMOCRACY OF ILLINOIS.—We notice that some of the bolters and disorganizes of the Democratic party, who have repudiated the Cincinnati Platform, have recently started a paper in Chicago, styled the National Union. The whole thing is a catchpenny affair, intended to defame Senator Douglas, and, if possible, break down that sterling Democratic paper, the Chicago Times. We regret to see Mr. Bingham, of the State Sentinel, countenancing and aiding this "weak invention" of the-disor-ganizes of Chicago. We warn Democrats in this region to beware of this pandorbox of mischief. Chicago Abolitionism is at the bottom of it. They have sworn to defeat Judge Douglas for the United States Senate in the Illiuois Legislature, which convenes next winter. The National Union is to be used as one of the auxiliaries of niggerism to effcct that object. In conclusion, we recommend the Times as one of the soundest Democratic papers in the country, free from all taint of vile Abolitionism.

OPRSPAIIttttBELATMMW.^A few days ago ire foreshadinred fiS'«n article, what appeared to us to fee: the p»b able piolicy of the administration for&the settlement of our difficulties with Spain and for the acquisition of the Island of Cuba. We stated at the tinte that we had no authority from any source to say that such were the designs of the administration, but that we were giving expression simply to the impressions -which were resting on our own mind?. Since that time various events have transpired to lead us to sup-: pose that the views we then stated were correct.

Below we copy from the Cincinnati Enquirer an article upon the subject fully bearing out the opinions we expressed.— The appearance of such articles in the columns of those newspapers, whose conductors are always careful to know that the sentiments they utter will meet the appro-, bation of the powers at Washington, may be regarded as affording pretty strong evidence that a war with Spain, which shall result in the acquisition of Cuba by this country, is one of the measures contem•plated by the administration.— Chicago Times.

1

The indications arc becoming strong that the United States will be compelled to chastise the insolence of Spain, and that it is only by the strong arm of military force that we can obtain from that nation satisfaction for the many injuries which it has wantonly and gratuitously inflictcd upon our commerce and for the insults which it has offered to our flag. For years we have been negotiating to obtain some redress for the Black Warrior and a host of proceeding outrages, where our national streamers was fired into by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, captured and overhauled upon the high seas, their mails rifled, and every indignity offered to our flag that Spanish haughtiness and malignancy could conceive. No indemnity, or apology even, has been made, or is likely to be, if we should negotiate for fifty years. It is evident that our leniency and forbearance in the past have been mistaken for weakness, and that the government of Spain can only be brought to justice and national equity by a declaration of war upon the part of this great Republic, and the castigatjon and loss which would certainly follow such an event. We do not believe this latter step will be, or can be, long delayed upon the part of our Government. In Spain it is thought a war with the United States is certain.

The Enquirer concludes its notice of an article taken from a Spanish newspaper, as follows:

:-'-v

resources of the United States, and imagine that they arc in condition to withstand the assaults of such a power as Spain. It is amusing to think how this conceit and impudence will lie taken out of them in a few weeks after the commencement of hostilities. Cuba and the Mora forts would fall quite as easily as. did Vera Cruz and the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa in 1847, before a small army of energetic Americans. The contest between the two countries will be as unequal as would be octogenarian decrepitude and feebleness pitied against youthful energy and manly v:gor. It will be followed by the loss to Spain, in a few weeks, of all her possessions in America."

PROBABILITY OF A WAR WITI1 SPAIN. General Dix, formerly an eminent Democratic United States Senator from New York, in his late speech at the Democratic meeting iu that city, said: "Our relations with Spain are even more delicate and critical. I venture to say that no nation has ever borne so much of indignity and aggression from another as wc have from her. She meets all demands of redress with insulting procrastination and indifference. She should be made to do us justice, or she should no longer be permitted to occupy a position on our coast, which has for years been little else than an instrument of annoyance—a position maintained in defiance of the principles of liberality which govern the intercourse of commercial States."

As soon as the Lccompton question is settled, we may look for very decisive action upon the part of our Administration. Spain should be treated as France was in lS3i by General JACKSON'S Administration, which vigorous actiou found in President BUCHANAN, then in the United States Senate, an able and prominent advocate.— A new United States Minister will soon be sent to Spain, in place of Mr. TODGE. He will probably go out with an ultimatum upon the part of our Government that Spain shall, within a limited period, grant a pecuniary indemnity for the outrages she has inflicted upon our commerce, and also make an ample apology for the insult offered to our flag. If she refuses, as she probably will, then our national honor will demand a declaration of war, and the prompt seizure of Cuba and its annexation to the United States. A few months, or perhaps weeks, will see this Spanish difficulty brought to a crisis.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

It,ia along beard.anytn^ viatlfan, which lately c^eupi^feao mieh of their attention, and the bulletins about whicb chronicled almost hourly "bow many orhow few inches she had progressed to-| wards her final destination-^—the water.-—' The fact however. is that very .: little, has been done in the way of actual progress since the vessel was §oated off her cradles, and she still remains moored stem and stern in

the centre

of the river, a lit­

tle below the old building yard, from \fhich for so many months she kept out the light and air, and in which for so many weeks grave fears were eritertaincd that she would remain, a permanent adornment of the river's, bank. But though, ais wc have said, nothing worth speaking about in the way of work, has been done about the Leviathan herself a very great deal has been perfected, and we believe the arrangements are being made for her final completion'and fitting out for sea. With regard to this point, a great deal of misapprehension appears to exist with the public as to the total outlay necessary to fit her out, and the time it will require to get her ready in all respects for a sea-going service.

As far as the first named subject is concerned, we believe we shall be found correct in stating that the total cost of completing her fittings, putting on board stores, &c., and making her in all respects ready for sea, will not exceed J£120,000, and that the time required to do this will certainly not extend beyond the month of July.— Four months is estimated as being the utmost time necessary to fit her, but circumstanccs have arisen, such as the company being obliged to give up possession of the yard at Millwall, which may occasion hindrances th'at will probably delay her completion till the time we have stated. In order, however, to insure the work being done in the shortest space of time, and at the lowest rates consistent with good workmanship, it has been decided to subdivide what remains to be done about the vessel among several contractors. Thus the building of the cabins and saloons will be given to one person, while another contracts for the decks, bulwarks, &c., a third for the rigging, a fourth for the boats, a fifth for the internal fittings, and so on. By this arrangement of course every part will progress simultaneously, and in the best style.

No less than 10 anchors arc now required to hold the monster vessel at her present moorings—five at the stem and five at the stern, and each with lengths of cable attached, var}*ing from 40 to 100 fathoms. When first anchored in the river eight sufficed to hold her but during half a gale which blew shortly after her launch, she dragged at the stern in such a manner as to swing more into the tide-

"They have no idea of the strength andTways, & required two of Trotman's largest patent anchors in addition to the others, since which she has been brought up effectually, and now apparently nothing short of a hurricane would be sufficient to move her. As the fittings of the ship progress, a pair of powerful shears will be fitted on

deck for the purpose of hoisting iron work

s-i'

There arc to be six masts in all, three square-rigged and three rigged with fore and.aft'sails. All these masts will be composed of plates of wrought iron one inch in thickness, and riveted together in the same manner as the sides of the ship, or a steam-boiler of the strongest description. They will vary in height from 130 to 170 feet from the keel to the truck, each will be three feet four inches in diameter at the deck,, and each will weigh from 30 to 40 tons exclusive of yards or rigging. Each mast rests on a square column of plate iron which readies direct from the keel to the upper dcck, and is rivited and built into all of the successive decks through which it passes. In case of it ever being neccssary to cut away the masts, at the base of them all, at about three feet above the deck, will be fixed a peculiar apparatus, whicb, working b\* means of a powerful screw, it is made to compress two sides of the mast together in such a manner as to completely crushthem in, and let the mast fall over the side immediately. As, however, all the masts will be stayed by the usual standing rigging, which, in the case of the Leviathan, will be all of wire rope, and of the most massive kind, other precautions have to be taken in order to get rid of the masts when nccessary.

To effect this, then, all the shrouds and stays are fastened at the ends through iron rings in such a manner that as far as any exertion of strength or skill is concerned, a single man would be suff.cient to cast loose all the fastenings of each mast in five minutes, though until the rings arc opened the sides might be torn form the ship before the}' would yield an inch. All the main and topmast-yards of the square-rigging will also be of iron plates. The main yard will be 130 feet long, or about 40 feet longer than the mainyard of our largest

line of battle ships, about four times the jt will be debated here, but

strength of any mainyard yet constructed, and several tons lighter than if it was made of wood, as is usually the case.

We have said that the Company are about to remove their plans and materials to another yard on the Surrey side of the river, and such is the fact, and all the works

Princess l0^ Millwall are in a chaotic state which usually portends a change of location even iu small establishments, and which, of course, displays itself in ten-fold intensity iu^yard where the largest ship of which the world has ever seen or heard has just been turned off to its moorings.

But great as is the change which these preparations make and imply it is really nothing to what the absence of the Leviathan herself from the yard has already occasioned. In fact, it seems, at the first glance as if one whole side of the yard had been taken away or swept into the river by some extraordinary flood tide,-. The debris, too, of the launching apparatus, the piles of gigantic timbers, masses of rails, hydr^ilic rams, screw jacks, iron drums, chain cables, groups of piles, windlasses, tc., all huddled together in inextricable confusion, give to the whole place the aspect of some gigantic workshop which has suddenly beeh leveled with the earth, and ruined by'some tremendous catastrophe.— We believe that no attempt will be made to draw out the many hundred piles driven into the earth for one purpose or another

This shaft is probably for its size the finest specimen:of- forged iron that has ever been' produced at any worksIt was inadc at Glasgow, arid in the rough weighed some 34\ons. This is the third that hasbeeiijforged for the paddle-engines of the Leviathan. In both the former ones, when the iriariufactiurc was almost completed, such flaws were discovered in their substancc as made them worthless and from the immense size of the shaft, and the necessity for its being of the most perfect strength and solidity throughout, considerable anxiety wias at one time entertained as to the possibility of getting one made at all in time for the starting of the vessel next autumn. All doubts have forever been set. at rest,by the arrival of the present shaft, which is now being completed in the turning lathe. There are not many lathes in the kingdom of sufficient size and strength, to turn a shaft of this kind, since apart from its own weight, it has counterbalancing masses of iron to relieve the strain on the lathe in turning it round, which brings lip the whole mass to about 60 tons.

This is turned slowly at about one revolution per minute, the cutters, of which there are two, one at each side, shaving off long thin strips of the cold metal at the rate of about one hundred weight per hour. By the company turning this shaft for for themselves, they effect an immeuse saving per hundred weight iu its entire cost, which, in a piece of metal-work of such size, .nnd one in the manufacture of which so many risks had to be encountered, of course amounts to a considerable sum.— With regard to the future of the Leviathan herself, there is perhaps no question more frequently asked by the public than that, of where she is to be docked in case of her wanting repairs, or her bottom requiring cleaning. This question, however, has, we are glad to say, been satisfactorily decided, though not quite as regards docking her.

There arc some docks, we believe, in Liverpool which are long enough to take in the Leviathan if their entrances were only wide in proportion but, as they all fail in this latter important particular, the great vessel when she wants cleaning will have to be gridironed, as the screw colliers arc—that is, run aground on rows of piles laid along the river's side for the purpose and the tide will of course leave her high and dry at cach low water. A spot has been chosen for th's purpose in the Mersey, between Woodsidu and Birkenhead, and to this place the Leviathan will be taken as often as she needs repairs or cleaning. It i..i

LECOMPl'OS IX CONGRESS. The unexpected position taken by JOHN J. CRITTENDEN, of Kentucky, in the Senate on last Wednesday, seals the fate of Lecompton. The Senator in his able speech uses the following language: 4 "The Lecompton Constitution carries upon its face the evidence of its corruption. Those who framed it knew it contained provisions which the free State riicn could not consent to, therefore none were allowed to vote unless the}* swore to support it, slavery provision and all. The 6,000 votes shown in its favor were put in with the view of exhibiting a suitable majority, and in order not to make the fraud too monstrous they went-just beyond the line. The fraudulent intent was manifest throughout, and how, he asked, could gentlemen ignore these frauds in the face of internal evidence of concurrent testimony.

The people of Kansas say it is not their constitution, and ask us to send it back to be submitted to a vote of the people. Can wc refuse them Can Senators turn from such evidence to legal technicalities and presumptions of law They ought to look to truth and principles. lie could not put his hands to help the admission of Kansas into the Union under the Lccompton Constitution What can the South gain by the admission of Kansa3 under the Lccompton Constitution No Senator believes she can be a slave State. The laws of climate and Geography forbid it..,

He said he would vote for her admission if he thought it would bring peace but he did not believe it would. It is said that the admission will localize the question of slavery in that Territory. He did not be-

lieve it. If that question is to be debated

it

must be de-

bated in the right way. There should be no excitement. Why should his friends at the North use such invections, he must say, of a most attrocious kind? Why should we not live in peace and harmony, as our fathers did? Wc are united in language and in blood. Are not the great destinies of the future forgotten while this petty subject of disagreement is nursed into colossal proportions

Alluding to prcvions debates, he said he was much gratified in learning from them the comparative resources of the two sections of our country. The Senator from South Carolina had detailed the resources of the South, aud the gentleman from Maine had given those of the North, and while listening to them it seemed te him that this was the mo3t natural Union in the world. If either of these sections were apart, it would make a nation of which any man might be proud to be a citizen. What a magnificent Union it makes when you put both together! Were this discord but lulled, what a summer sea lies before us of boundless prosperity! In conclusion he said he should vote on the question as a Senator of the United States of America, not as a sectional man. He owed allegiance to no section—the course he would approve would be to pass a law by which the Constitution shall be submitted to the vote of the people, and if it be ratified he would 'admit Kansas into the Union.

The steamer City of Manchester bad arrived at Plymouth from India. The ship'Donald McKay had arrived at Liverpool, with £100,000 sterling from Australia.

A large number of ships from America, were overdue in England, owing to easterly winds.

The ship Avondale, from Liverpool, bound for New York, had been wrecked at Arklow. -T .. The bark Ireland had gone to peices, but the crcw were saved.

Lord Derby had read his speech to the House of Lords. He glanced at the state of tho army in reference to the Indian war, and said that there was yet a most respectable numerical force within the United Kingdom. He had no doubt of the succcss of Campbell, and when the mutiny was fully suppressed, it would be the duty of government to pacify India.

Though condemning the cause of the Chinese war, he expressed satisfaction at the results, and now that -Canton had fallen, it will be the duty of the Government, at the least possible delay, to make a safe and honorable pcace, so that commerce be again established.

He insisted on the importance to France and Europe of the Emperor's life—indignantly characterized the atrocious attempt at assassination, and made allowance for the indignation displayed by the Frcnch people, but did not believe the addresses from the French Colonels gave the true representation of the feeling of the Prench army.

MalmesKury was preparing a reply to Walewski, which he believed will satisfy public opinion, and that there is nothing in Gibson's resolution which will prevent the Government from proceeding with the conspiracy bill, though further action depends upon the reply from Frauce.

The House of Lords had adjourned until the lGth inst. Lord Stratford dc Radcliffc had resigned the Ambassadorship of Turkey.

The London Star says that the country is to be agitated by means of a Parliamentary Committee funning to oppose any conspiracy bill introduced by Lord Derby.

The Times' money article of the evening of the 2d inst., reports the stock market as heavy and inanimate.

There was a slight increase in the demand for money, owing to the settlements to be made on the 4th inst-, but the applications at the bank arc limited.

ST. LOUIS, March 15.—John Hartwell, Secretary of Utah, arrived here Saturday night.

He left Camp Scott January 26, and reports the troops in a comfortable condition and excellent health. Only four deaths had occurred since the arrival of the command.

In view of the serious, if not insurmountable obstacles presented by the fortification of the cannons [sic] by the Mormons, it was thought that an entrance into the valley will be made by another route, one hundred miles longer, but offering no obstructions of any magnitude.

Two hundred of the principal men of the Utah Indians had been in the camp

and gave assurance of their peaceable intentions towards the American. The Cheyennes also desired peace.

With the exception of along the South side of the South Pass, Hartwell met with no snow on the route, and grass was expected at an unusually early period. No mail had reached the camp since that of October. The mail of November was met at Green River; that of January at the foot of Rocky Bridge [sic]; that of February six miles beyond Ash Hollow. -----

THE EXPEDITION TO UTAH—AN IMMENSE TRAIN. We have made mention that Messrs. Major and Russell, the contractors to transport the army supplies to Salt Lake, have decided on making Nebraska City the starting point. The caravan, when it shall have been fully fixed up and started, will be one of the most imposing and extensive that the Western world has ever witnessed. The Nebraska <News> gives as a skeleton idea of its appearance— two thousand wagons, each hauling fifty hundred pounds of freight, sixteen thousand head of cattle, two acres of ox-yokes to hitch them up with, two thousand ox-drivers and then it proceeds to imagine what a grand opera the cavalcade would make—

Suffice it to say that a thousand whips are cracking, sixteen thousand tails are gaily snapping the flies of June away, two thousand drivers shrieking, eight thousand wagon-wheels squeaking, all eager to join the Anti-Mormon affray, when, at the closing recitative, a herd of buffaloes and six hundred Indians break in upon the train, and a general stampede ensues, then, and not till then, do we show our true musical strength.

Another regulation is alluded to as being a cardinal thing in this expedition.— The <News> says:

Major & Russell will hire nor employ no man who tasteth, toucheth or handleth strong drink. We shall therefore expect to see two thousand teamsters of temperance principles and habits—a spectacle of moral grandeur which, we believe no human eye has yet ever rested upon.

Each man, also, is to be provided with a Bible and hymn-book, so that they shall not want for the food of life while on their dreary journey. -----

4SF*"I do not care whether you call it slavery or servitude the man who has menial offices to perform is the SLAVE or the servant, I care not whether he is white or black. Servitude or slavery grows out of the organic structure of man."—[Specch in the Senate of Johnson, of Tennessee.

The Nashville Patriot quotes this, and says: The idea that all men who perform menial services are slaves, is abhorrent. It is worse—a gross libel upon hundreds and thousands of industrious, hard-working men in all sections of the country—-in tho South as well as in the North—in Tennessee as well as in Ohio. »Mr. Johnson has worked his way up gradually from what ho affects now to consider a servile conditionin others, to an eminent position, by pandering to the passions and prejudices of the class whom he denominates "slaves." By the votes of these "slaves" he has been placed in high office, and it ill becomes him now to stigmatize them. The day laborer

'or any one else. He is the peer, if he bo honest and virtuous, of any man in tho

State—aye, of the proudest aristocrat that sneers at his title to manhood—or of Andrew Johnson, the Philosopher and Senator! So also are those humble men and women who fill other positions in which menial services arc performed. They havo neither wealth, nor any great degree of power, but they have control over their own actions, have the same rights, and are as essentially free, as the Senator who disgraces his robes by making such ungenerous flings at them or who debases his intellect to the serfdom and slavery of party. Elevation beyond his deserts has been unfortunate for Andy. If this is tho way he is to attempt to make character in the Senate, he will cover his best friends with shame and humiliation.

A COMFORTABLE ESTABLISHMENT.—A correspondent of the N. Y. Independent thu3 describes the domain of tho Duke of Devonshire:

The domain of the Duke of Devonshire would cover one of our largest counties.— The park immediately surrounding the palace is eleven miles in circumference, and contains 3,000 acres. The principal garden for vegetables, fruits, green-houses tic., is twenty-five acres. There are thirty green-houses, cach from fifty to seventyfive feet long. We went into three or four containing nothing but pineapples, ripe: others containing nothing but melons and cucumbers. One peach tree on the glass wall measured fifty-one feet in width and 4 fifteen feet high, and bears one thousand peaches. It is the largest in the world.— The grape houses—five or six in all—are 600 feet long and such grapes! We saw pinc-apples weighing ten or fifteen pounds each.^ One green-house had only figs, another only mushrooms. But what shall be said of the great conservatory, filled with every variety of tropical plants? It is ono of the wonders of the world. It covers an acre of ground, is 100 feet high, of oval shape, and cost $500,000.

It is heated by steam and hot water pipes, which, in all,are six miles in length. The apparatus consume six hundred tons of coal in a year. We saw banana trees twenty feet high, with clusters of fruit, I sugar-cane, coffee-trees, bamboo, and in short, every tropical plant tbat ean be named. Several of the palm-trees arc from fifty to sixty feet high. The smoke of the immense fire underneath is carried in pipe under ground to an outlet in the woods.— The coal is brought in a tunnel 600 yards under ground. One fountain throws a jet of water to the height of 275 feet.

Wouldn't Louis Napoleon's army," who Ue so anxious to,, invade "perfidious Albion" and "drive the assassins and conspirators from their dens," make sad havoo with all these fine things?

WST We^ notice that a great revival of religion is in progress in many of the Atlantic cities.
