SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS T.,
Iho intelligeaeer contains card from Mr.
jos. c. g. Kennedy, wherein that gentleman
complains that the editor of De Bows Com.
inercial Review systematically detracts from
the merits OF his scientific labers, attributina
their results to others His particular cause
Of complaint in this instance lie that the edite,
aforesaid credits others than himself with
having originsted the late European Statistical,
Congress. ''-i'.- -'i' i''..5 is.f go
The Union argues the question-"Will Cuba
add to our strength" saying, in conclusion
Cubs will be received into our sisterhood
Of States with the full and ripe sympathies of
all the southern members of the confederacy.
and she will seon discover for herself that she
IS to look to the commercial and maritime
States of the North for shat ready and efficient
assistance which she may, in the varied course
of human affairs, have to REQ uire TO enable
her to maintain her independence against the
assaults OF some vindictive maritime enemy
Again these Northern States themselves will
find an ever-teeming harvest in the products
Of this fertile island, from which their enr.r
prise and industry will successfully garner the
richest stores. Out IF the new millions which
viii now into the common treasury when our
revenue laws are once extended oyer Cuba,
we shall, for while, undoubtedly be called
upon TO expend large part In maintaining q
suitable regular garrison on the island, but o
force not approaching half the numbers which
spain has now to maintain there merely to
keep the population itself in subsection 70 her
rule, Besides drawing large surplus from
the taxes she has levied on the products of tbe
Island 10 sustain her own disordered and ex.
hsusted treasury at home, Spain has paid all
the expenses of the colonial government, and
Of the garrison Of the island, out Of the same
taxes. IT is not, however, in this way alone
ehss she has robbed the inhabitants Of their
wealth She has filled the isl and with innu-
merable leeches from her own degraded court,
who have drawn from its best sustenance, ox
Guiding its own native population from eyery
office, however humble. Whether the acuri-
sition of Cuba, when accomplished, will com
pletely round off our territorial boders, it is
not for rs to decree, In progress, however,
there is no fnality ~
The Union also points to the fact that the
Wigs Of the district of Mr.. MayaN, an anti
Nsbra9ka Maine Democratic member, have
thrown Elm overheard for Maine.law anti
Nebraska Whigeandidate-Mr Perry--as sig.
ni6eant that the northern VI higs have not the
least idea of carrying out the Greeley scheme
of rswarding anti-Nebrasks Democratic mem
ibers, by running no opposition to them. Ac,
eording to the Unions view, such Democrats
: are all to be sacrificed, if the ant-Adminis-
tr!tion party can put the knife into them.
