A War For Cuba.

The moment the Nebraska Iniquity is
consummated if it should be consumma-
ted, the Administration will seek to dis
tract public attention from that abhorred
deed by getting up row with Spain
Whether this will be pushed to the point
of actual War is not yet certain but the
President and his advisers hope and ex-
pect it will They have resolved to i'm /
pose on the feeble and decrept Spanish
Government conditions which cannot be
accepted without disgrace, and insist on
every iota of them to the last. Should
Spain refuse them, War is to be made, and
Cuba seized if possible-and the projec-
tors entertain no doubt of our ability to
overrun and subjugate that island in six
weeks from the declaration-at all events,
before any re-inforcements from Spain can
reach it. This achievmcnt, by adding
about fifth to the slaveholding territory
and population of the Union, is expected
to unite the South under the flag Of Pierce
& Co., and drown the Nebraska excite
ment at tho North in the cry of "Our
Country, right or wrong? Hurrah fol
Cuba and manifest destiny" Such, we
are well assured, sthe programme agreed
on at the White House and it is an even
chance that we shall be at war with Spain
on the lst of July.-N Y. Tribune.
There is truth in the above prediction,
or we mistake the signs in the political hor.
izon, and We place ii on record as in accor,
dance with our expressed convictions on
the same subject. Let the people make
note of it. The resistance to the Ne
braska iniquity may derange the plans OF
the Southern aristocracy, and may post
pone the evil day but the word has gone
forth we must have Cuba to reinforce
according to the Richmond Enquirer
the powers Of Slavery as an element oj

admitted that the enSlaving of men is nee,
essary to Liberty, we have the forms oI

Col. Fremont's Party and its suffcrngs

Col. FremOmt's Party and its Sufferngs
A mormon, named Smith, wrote TO the
Desert Nevs from Parowen, that on the
7th of February Col. Fremont and party
reached that place. lie says:
They reportthat they had eaten twen-
ty.seven broken.dow animals; that when
"a horse or mule could go no further, it
was killed and divided out, giving one
halt to the Delawares, and the other to
the colonel and his men; the hide was
cut in pieces and cast lots for. After the
bones had been made into soup, they
were burned, and carried along by the
men for luncheon. The entrails were
shaken and then made into soup, togeth-
er with the feet and eyes, thus using up
the whole mule. They stated they had
travelled lorty-fve days living on this
kind of fare.
although colonel Fremont was con-
sidered by the people an enemy to the
saints, and had no money, he was kind
y treated and supplied on credit with
provisions to pursue his journey, and
went on his way rejoicing on the Goth OIL
February"
Colonel Fremont has since arrived al
his destination, and reports ALL his party

Here follows the extract:
"rhe Senatorial election Of Missouri in
August next will furnish the next great
decision in regard to the sentiments Of the
people concerning the Pierce adminstra-
ton, and it is now already looked for with
great anxiety. Thomas Benton, The d.
rest opponent of President Pierce, will ap-
pear in the field on this occasion, and how
favorable are his views may be seen from
the fact that his opponent Atchison has
already announced to his friends nc would
not be candidate against Benton. Here

Ehe New Tax Bill; or Bill of Pains
and peMplticS.

Il would seem that our public agents regarded the
people as insensbe to suffering. They seem to look
upon the masses, over whose rights, by some blind
agency, they ore deputed for season to deliber-
ate, as SO much inert matter for them to e1pe-
nmsnt upon, and by the power Of their endurance,
It seemed never for moment to enter their brains
that taxation was an epii arising from necessity and
% be imposed with merciful hpnd They seemed to
contemplate the people as herd of cattle and they
consider and discuss their condition and quality with
view to their availability, as SO much unconscious
properyths beast for bis hile, this for his tender
quality for beef No thought ever entered the com.
pass Of their deliberations, how the burthen, which
the people have to sustain thro taxation eau be light
eued or mitigated. But the official gentry should
bear in mind, that the tax payer has feeling as well
o. the tax consumer But to men who have been in
the habit Of living out Of the public purse at the rat'
Of two, three or five thousand dollars year, and whc
know not what ii is to earn loaf Of bread, by un
mitigstcd labor the thought Of oveaxing and stamp
ing the brow Of honest toll with care never occurs
or il it does, it is soon dismissed as an unwelcomc
intruder. The Legislature has enacted this monster
and in any other country than this, VIC think such
law would cause an instruction Butwe have been
so abused and aded by such kind Of oppression and
in view Of the waste and robbery that has been COM
mitted upon us in many departments Of adminiStru.
tion with audacous impunity, that all are reduced
below resistance There no ray in future to cheer
us with the hope of relief while the burden rests SC
heavily upon our aching shoulders but "hills peel

CRY OF MEXICO, May 8, l851.-The
position of his Serene HighEess the Pres
ident of the Republic, is critical in the ex'
treme.
Supposing he had succeeded in driving
Alvarez out of his mountain fastness near
Acapulco, Santa Anna had nearly fallen
into the snare laid for him by Alvarez,
who, by a stratageous maneuvre, has
placed himself between the capital, Mex
leo J and the forces of Santa Anna, whose
supplies are thus entirely cut off, and his
men are fast becoming victims to the et-
fects of want and the climate.
Itis also known to the government that
Alvarez had captured four hundred mules
laden with baggage and provisions for the
use of the force under Santa Anna.
Quaretora is in state Of revolution,
and it is impossible not to forsee that this
capital is about to follow in the same
wake.

The news is of highly interesting ma

still in progress and it was rumored that
an engagement had occurred between the
troops Of Santa Anna and Alvarez, in
which the latter was victorious. At the
City of Mexico the rumor was not gen
orally credited.
A report was also currant that the U

We can inform the Macarthur Democrat, that ou
authority for claiming Cincinnati Furnace as being
located in Jackson county was derived from the Stock
holders themselve and at the time Of our making tht
statement alluded to II was the Intention Of the Com
pany to build the Furnace on the South eide of the
T. NJ, Railroad which would have been in this coun.
u; but owing to the uniaVoablenoss of the ground
il was thought beat to locate on the North side quot
without much regret though) which ia few rods in

Will the Democrat plOase inform tbe public of The
names Of those two OF three other Furnaces that are
located in Jackson county which have to get their ore
from Viaton." That one or more Furnaces, located
iu jackson county, may get ore in VintOn county,
IL probably the case but that there ia any necessity
for it, We beg leave most respectfully to differ with
the editor Of the Democrat, or any body else.
