INSANE LEGISLATION. The Senate of the United
States Friday last, after prolonged debate, or
dered Miss Dix's bill to be engrossed for third read
ing by large majority of the members present, and
it will probably pass. This devotes portion of the
public lands for the support of lunac sylums in the
several States. The amount granted is ten millions
of acres, (equa to twelve and half millions of dol
lars) to be distributed among the States.
The Federal Government was not created for any
object like this, and if this usupaton is allowed, the
step will be to quarter the county poor-house
upon the Federal Treasury. We do not doubt that
the aristocracy party in the country would like this
for the poor the SICK and insane are, under the State
Governments, supported by direct taxation, which
falls proportionately upon property. The Federal
system of taxation is by duties upon imports con-
sumeG, which relieves property, to throw its weight
upon the masses. Albany Alias.

This quality will do anything in the world and no
talents, no circumstances, opportunity, will make
a two-legged creature-a man without it,

Translated from LIE Steele OF Paris August a. 1851
The government of Washington is uneasy in
slave holding States push their pretensions in their
efforts to regain the numerical equality which they
have lost in the South. We have lately spoken of
league formed between these States and power
full party in California, in order to arrive at d.
vision, by which it may be possible to establish
slavery upon about half Of the Caifornia territory
We have, to-day, to notice the exertions attempted
by Texas, in order to begin again a struggle with
Mexico, which refuses to render up fugitive slaves.
The question would be again of annexation, or
some favorable division for the slave holding States.
As for the conquest of Cuba, is we can say, the
fixed idea of the Southern States. The central
power does all it possibly do, in order to obtain
from the slave holding States respect for the
ties and the ghts OF nations but 1t will De neces
sary to shut our eyes, in order to not that Cuba
will be subject to annexation in a certain time.
The London Morning Herald, Of the 18th inst,
publishes the folio wing:-
"1here is not any doubt that the United States
covet the possession Of Cuba. Mr. Bancroft, e.
enroye and minister plepi potentary of the United
States, in this country, said in his funeral eulogy
on President Jackson that that General at the tune
when he headed his army in Florida, was anxious
to conquer Cuba. We know, also, by certain
proofs accidentally within the knowledge of our
authorities, that Cuba is considered as belonging by
right to the United States
"Lord Palmerston and Lord Aberdeenh ave no il
fusion on this subject and believe that the event
will be realized in about twenty years"
There is for Spain one single way to preserve
Cuba-not forever, but during all the time that
slavery will last in the United States 1t is pro-
noupce the emancipation Of negroes in that colony.
This emancipation is not easy; Cuba has 1876 900
slaves, 205,OO0 free colored, and 50O,000 whites,
without counting the army aud the foreigners.
With such elements, although in a state to make
sacrifice of three or four hundred millions of francs,
Spain could only give freedom slaves by relying
upon the free coored. This is difficulty almost
impossible to be resolved in a convenient manner.
Be that as it may, the States ofthe American Union
continue to larger in their and tn
offer to the world a spectacle which has no parallel
in the history of the old nations of the earth.
