n.asi,ssssa in Cuba.

A Havana CORE spondent Of the N. Z.
Ttibxa., who seems to be very highly
charged with Enthusiasm. writing from that
city % the llth inst. speculates - fol-
lows:-
.There seems wsrlike spirit prevail.
inc in the United States sgainst Spain and
her o@cials in this leland, and I cannot but
think that their gross treatment Of citisens
Of the DATED States merits punishment; yet
I ,hosld deeply regret to see this fair Isle
h.rassed by the demon Of desolating war,
bot that am fully convinced the mere
declaration u war BY the United States
asainst Spain, or II least the appearance
Of the 6rst United States soldier on these
shores would have the effect Of setting free
ali the slsves!-So. for the sske Of the mis-.
ershly oppressed Africans ana their de-
sceudants, let even war come war, with
ali ito horrors, heiag less horrible than sla.
very's pangs.
Itis easy to write in the style Of this ex-
tract, but it is difficult TO bslieve that the
immediate emancipation Of the slaves in
Cuba would be any thing else than an un-
m;xed curse both to the blacks and the
whites. For the Cubsns it wosld be better
TOR their leland to be sunk in the ocean,
than that they should be actors and suffer
ers in new ST. Domingo tragedy. Nor in
regard to St. Domingo, can We discover any
good which has yet come out OF the evil
sufficient to atone for or counterbalance
the gross horrors Of that terrible revolution.
The most reliable accounts represent the
present condition OF St. Domingo I" be al
undesirable ~ possible, and at least there is
nothing in its situation or prospects that IA
yors the trial OF a similar experiment in
Cuba. There 10 wide difference between
that an,i.slavery feeling which opposes the
further progress of slavery in this county,
and the feeling which for the sake osimme'
date emancipation IN Cubs would, apPa'
rently. gladly welcome ard risk all the pro-
verbal horrors Of servile war. With the
latter feeling We have no sympathy, and
those xho cherish il must either be totally
ignore Mt and ckless, or else incurable mo
nomaniacs.
II cannot be denied. however, that Spain
has the political right Of declaring imme-
di,te emancipation, and the consequences
of goading her to SO desperate proceeding
well deserve the serious consideration OF the
American statesmen who have charge OF the
pending complicated negotiations.

GRAFTON than thousands of Others, which have
never been presented--secondly, because
the original claimants have mostly passed
from the stage of action, and those supposi-
tious demands have been bought up by spec.
ulators for a mere song-thirdly, because in
this act Of public justice, the President has
shown himself to be conscientious and fear.
