The ANNEXATION OF CUBA.-The NetD
Yorker Hahdets ZeitEng publishes the fol-
lowing statement purporting to embrace
the views Of number of planters belong
ing to Puerto Principe, in Cuba Great
as is our desire 10 shake of the Spanish
domination, which is every day growing
more burdensome, it nevertheless is not our
wish to become province Of the United
States, or even one Of the States Of the
Union. For this reason we are opposed TO
the acquisition Of Cuba by purchase, be-
cause in such a case the United States
would acquire the control of us, and such u
relation to the United States would be as
repugnant to us as the Spanish Govern
ment. We ask the assistance of the Uni
ted States to free US, and should our efforts
be crowned with success, we Will eVince our
gratitude toward the Americans by confer
ring upon them great commercial advanta-
ges, and, Of course, defraying all expenses
incurred by them in rendering US aid. But
we are not willing that the Americans
should exercise any influence over our fu-
ture destiny. The manners, character and
habits Of the Cubans are so utterly opposed
to those Of the Americans, that VIC could
not live under their institutions, and an
American Government would never be
tolerated among us. The doings Of the
Know NOthings have also effectually open
ed the eyes Of such among US as have bith-
erto been blind. Religious conflicts would
be the beginning Of sanguinary civil war,
which would result in the entire extinc-
ton or banishment Of the Creoles. Were
it not for such suspicious, the Lopez e1pe-
dition would have had a far different result;
the antipathy to tt1s Americans is now
much greater than OF that time"

THE New NORTHERN PARrY.-The N.
Y. Tribune, who is good authority at least
in such matters, says that the following is
the basis upon which the Saratoga Anti
Nebraska Convention placed itself, and
thatit is to be the platform Of the new Nor
thern party. The following is from the
Tribune:
The practical points of political effort
embraced in these manly and comprehen-
sive resolves, adopted by this numerous
and most respectable convention, and to
which its members have pledged themselves
are:
/. The restoration of the anti.slavery
proviso in Kansas and Nebraska.
2. All the Territories of the United
States shall be free.
3. No more slave States shall be admit
ted into the Union.
4. This policy shall be held superior to
all party considerations, and every party
shall be abandoned which does not make
the same its first object.
Such is the basis of action agreed upon
by this convention, and we speak within
bounds when we say that it will be enthu.
siastically and permanently adopted by the
great mass of voters in the State. Those
who reject it must be a very small minority
and not whit moro influential in character
than in numbers.

RAGS FOR PAPER.-The consumption Of
rags in the manufacture Of paper in this
country exceeds all the conception Of those
who have paid but little attention to the
statistics of importation, for it is from
abroad that we derive our principal stock,
and there is reasonable alarm existing
among paper makers and printers that the
fountain Of supply may fail before the inge-
niOus inventors Of the world have perfect
ed the art of making good paper from 9TH
er substances than rags; for instance, straw
or grain, fax, mead0w-gFass, OF the fibre
or bark Of plants and trees, or soft 6brouss
woods. 5f...-. g --...l s.,.-r o. OIL,
1t is supposed by some that paper can.
and will be made from the strawS Of the
long leaf, Pinus resinesa, as some German
manufacturers have succeeded in ffeeingi
the leaves Of their resin, leaving asnbstanee
which they call "pine WOOL" If this sub
stance should be found to answer better,
than oat-straw, on account Of its stronger
fibre, it will be quite as cheap; In fact IL
will cost nothing but the labor Of collect
ing in the immense pine forests Of the South
ern States There are numerous 6brous
plants which may be cultivated to afford
material for paper, among which the okra
plant would give the largest yield per acre
In the meantime, while we are getting
ready TO begin 10 use some other substance
for paper, let us glance at the quantity Of
rags imported in the last four years, and
the countries from whence we obtain our
supply, with the cost. -s- - .F ilo- Y

THE LESSONS OF HIsrog;-There d q
moral in the signs Of. the times for public
men to practice If there is anything
which they have been deficient in for .
long period, it is fearlessness. Many a bad
cause has been rendered endurable by this,
and how the cause Of truth is benefited
by It, history elOquently can tell. The age
has educated politicians rather than states
men. To write non-commitaI letters, 10
talk in riddles, to shirk questions Of princi-
pie, have been the talismans Of snceess.-l
The bartering Of vote for a place has
been the most common Of lamentable o.
currences. Public men, in future, must not
be afraid to disclose their sentiments -they
must be sure they are right, and then go
ahead p They must analy1e their eonEic-
tions-give them logical siftipg=sbepre-
pared to maintain themj and, thus in readi-
ness, proclaim them on all needful occasions
with earnestness and consistency 1t-may
be that the community scout thenAi-itmay
be that the age is not prepared to receive
them---but If correct, and persevered in,
their triumph, sooner or later, will come.
The popular element which combine to
teach public men Independence Of eOnvie-
ton, fearlessness Of advocacy; and consist
ency Of practice, will learn them HAnY les
sons, with many morals, before the cam
paign Of 1856 is opened.-[N, =. Snaday

D6r Gov. Andrew johnson, Of Tennes.
see, was once tailor, Judge W. W. Pep
per, Of the same State, was once black
smith. The public distinction to which
these gentlemen have risen by their intel
lectual exertious is highly honorable to
themselves, and on admirable commentary
on the institutions where such triumphs In
the pursuit of knowledge and distinction
under difficulties are not uncommon. But
these gentlemen have not been content with
presenting examples In which others may
ind Illustrations Of the beauties Of our sys-
TEN, and objects for special applause
They have come before the public in their
own persons, parading themselves as OBJ
iects to be specially admired, for having
become what they are, and as showing
lights by which the rest Of the world can
follow, see, and understand all the beau
ties of republicanism. Judge Pepper has
made an iron shovel, with his own hands,
which he presented to Gov. Johnson; and
Gov. johnson, in return, cuts and makes q
sack coat, with his own hands, which he
sends to Judge Pepper The whole affair
is a piece Of transparent humbug. 1t is
very creditable for the blacksmith and the
tailor that, by a system Of selftraining,
they have become men Of high considTa-
tion in public life; but it becomes mere pu-
Gritty when they pause in their pew avoca-
tons to play at mechanic again, in order
to recall the public attention to their for
mer condition, and make people cape at
their elevation. 1t is honorable for tailor
to become q Governor, or blacksmith a
Judge, and the world is ready enough To
recognize the mental vigor which produced
these effects; but for Governor and Judge
to play ct mechanic, to create amusement
or wonder among the multitude, is piece
of buaoonery which is hardly respectable.
