ungraelul for the benefits conferred upon them

Cuba Expedition Again.

The Washington correspondent of the Norwich Con-
necticu Courier (Whig,) who to be well posted
up in the metropolitan news, speaking Of this expedition
says:
Little interest is felt here in the alleged new expedi-
tion against Cuba" the mysterious Steamer" &c.
The impression here is that the real purpose of the
conspiracy is to land at ST. Domingo, and overthrow
the arbitrary and hated authority of the black tyrant
Sououque The island rich in agricultural resources
and numerous "enterprsing white men" very anx-
ous put them to better than the blacEs have DONE
Besides they remember the boast of Archmedes that
give him spot for his fulcrum, and with his lever he
would move the world. Give them foot hold in St.
Domingo base for their operations, and they will
overturn Cuba-or 'break a trace"
1t is currently reported here that General Qutman OF
Mississippi is the master spirit Of the movement for the
acquisition Of territory.

Position of States.

At time when the Union is Justly said to be in the
hands of the North becomes of the greatest
interest learn how the Northern States stand,
likely stand in regard to the measures upon which the
fate of the Union will depend. And in the North we
have only ascertain the support which may be given
to one OF these measures, (the fugitive slave aw) in
order to know the position Of the States respect
those measures AT time when the extension of slave
holding, the dispersion OF slavery, supposed to
be open question, all the Northern States indcat-
ed by the resolutions of egis.tiv bodes claimed
almost without exception to stand ia direct opposition
to the policy which has since been established by Con-
sress. Blu, how they now stand in reference to that
settlement commonly called the Compromise and there

action to interfere with the law OF the General Govern

and Representatives from that State procure some
amendment modification, the repeal OF the fugi-
tive slave law Ii any other States have followed n the
wake of Ohio, Vermont, not apprised of the
fact Many Of them are evidently moving in support OF
the Compromise. The Journal Of Commerce reckons
nine States which in the election of Senators the pas
sage OF resolutions, by their respective Legislatures
otherwise have manifested firm adherance to the Com
promise. In Illinois, Indiana, and New Hampshire, by
legislative resolutions to that effect. In Michigan, New
Jersey and Pennsyv by the election of Senators
who known to be in favor of the Compromise. In
Connecticut the State Conventions of both the leading
parties passed resolutions in appreciation OF the Com
promise. In Rhode Island both by the election Of
Democratic Senator in favor of the national Union, and
by the rejection of resolutions offered the General As
sembly in prejudice of that Union. And TO these we
may add the good State of Iowa which has ALWAYS been
true the Constitution. There remain only six States

Nicaragua Question.

The intelligent correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American says:
As the Secretary of State Washing
ton, the Nicaragua question will be Immediately taken
up by the Cabinet. England has committed violations
of the convention recently agreed upon and solemnly
ratified by her and the British Ambassador succeeded
getting Squiers treaty with Nicaragua, with the modi-
cation proposed by Gen Tayors administration, laid
the table in the Senate.
The lost ground must be recovered, and that modified
treaty must be confirmed all the right and interests
OF the United States in Central America will be sacri-
feed to Britain. There has been much neglect or
concession already. Chat6eld should have been sent
home when Mr.. Squier recalled.
