spoke English badly, and we'll remember
bearing Daniel rebuke James for using pro-

SPAIN = CUBA - THE aADsDEs TREATY.

We quote few paragraphs from the w ash
ing
ut is known that this Government has made
formal demand upon Spain for the establish
ment Of some executive power in Cuba where
by questions arising between the United States
and the authorities of Cuba may be adjusted
without the delay Of o recourse to the home
Government. mere opening Of diplomatic
correspondence with the Cuban authorities.
though not now allowed, would be Of no bene-
ft to either party, If the decision Of the ques-
ton is to be referred to the Government ut
Madrid. This is the point, and not the Black
Warrior case, upon which is to depend the
future relations between the United States and
Spain. loN.o
"The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
are not likely to make warlike report on the
subject Of the Black Warrior. The committee
probably hold that the initiative in all such
matters properly belongs to the President and
that 1t would be indei'cate on their part to in
terfere with his just prcrogatives.
"The Gadsden Treaty in an amended form,
80 as to settle all questions pending between
the Governments of the two countries, will be
ratified after some discussion in the Senate.
The only fear Is, that the Government OF Santa
Anna will not hold together till the treaty
comes out Of the Senate. He has already rat
| flied beforehand all the amendments the Sem
ate is about to introduce, and is proving him
self altogether the most tractable fellow X.n

we may quote from the Union the declaration
that the special messenger to Mr.. Soule, al
Madrid, who went out in the Arctic, took in
structions to that gentleman ato demand, in
emphatic terms, immediate and ample repara-
ton from Spain for the outrage committed by
the authorities of Cuba in the instance Of the
Black Warrior" This is something more than

THE NEBRASKA BILL IN MICHIGAN.

The Epening Tribune contains the follow
ing paragraphs:
at gives us sincere pleasure to inform our
readers that one half of the representation of
Michigan in the popular branch Of Congress
is uncompromisingly opposed to the disgraceful
fraud We believe We shall soon have il in
our power to state that the Hon. Mr.. Clark has
also taken ground against it. We wish we
could express with ~ much confidence, that
our osn immediate Representative would, in
the end, be found in favor Of justice and hon.
esty, battling by the side Of his three col.
leagues against the villanous scheme TO make
Nebraska slave territory IL he consult the
wishes Of his constituents and the interests Of
the North, he will take this course-if he con-
suit alone the interest Of Slavery, he will vote
for the iniquitous scheme.
"But the manly position assumed by Messrs
Noble and Stevens, and the strong probability
there is that Mr.. Clark will also oppose the
bill, arc not the only hopeful indications there
are from Washington. Other Democratic
members Of Congress, upon whom the Admin.
istration relied, can neither be bribed nor
driven into its support any moro than the De-
mocracy Of the North can be seduced 1t has
received lately some unexpected blows. The
retushi Oh tine TehnsyiVhnih DemOcrhcy W en-
dorse the scheme, although that Convention
was composed, in good part, Of dependents, to
some extent on the Administration, excites
alarm and distrust among the friends Of the
bill
"The votes reckoned on from the North do
not prove forthcoming in the critical moment
Even the Hards are greatly exercised as to
their true and proper course on the bill, and
the most probable result is that they will divide
their votes There is a vague rumor that the
Tennessee members will unite with the oppo-
nents Of the measure 10 give it q heavy fall on
its first appearance. II that be true, it puts q
very effectual guietus on the experiment upon
the patience aud virtue OF the Democracy.
"Let the People of Detroit show to their
servants at Washington, that they will not
countenance the intended violation Of national
faith, and treason TO Human Freedom. There
should remonstrance 20 up from this CITY,
that viii leave her Representative, at least, no
room to doubt that he will be held to q rigid
accountability for his vote on this measure
