The Philadelphia Press presents the follow
ing considerations upon the subject of ac-
quiring Cuba:
In a mere commercial point of view the
acquisition of Cuba would be one of the
most fortunate things that Americans states
manship ever accomplished. With@ll the
shackles imposed upon the trade of the two
countries, by the onerous Spanish port
charges, tariffs, and export duties, and our
own tariff, their commerce is very great, and
the removal of these barriers would render
it almost incalculable. The agricultural
and manufacturing interests of the North
would alike reap the most substantial bene-
fits from the union of the two countfies.-
Thus American -four has long been kept
out of Cuba by regulations which require
beside other duties) but two dollars per bar
rel for Spanish Hour in Spanish vessels, and
nine dollars and fifty cents for foreign flour
in foreign vessels, and all foreign goods in
foreign vessels are charged a duty of near
thirty per cent. or upwards, and the port
charges are very high. Notwithstanding
all these exactions, the commercial move
ment of the United States with Cuba in
1852 amounted to more than Sls,000,O 900,
upon which dues of more than $3,000,000
were paid the Cuban officials, and the trade
of the two countries has no doubt since been
greatly increased. Our exports to Cuba for
that year amounted to Sc, 500, 900, among
which are S927,OOO of grains; Sl,lO0,O00
of lard, butter, bread and vegetables
l,664, 900 of lumber and fabrics; Sl41, 900
of cotton yarns and fabrics, &c. In return,
the imports amounted to over S12, 900, 900;
made up almost entirely of sugar, molaSSes,
and cigars, upon which our citizens paid a
duty of at least SO, 500, 600 to their own
government besides large export duty to
Spain. The lumber grain-growing, and
provision interests OF the United States
would be greatly benefited by free trade
with Cuba, and so, no doubt, would many
branches of manufactures, which, although
now driven from the Cuban market by Eng
lish productions, could not be if fair tariff
was levied upon the English goods, and not
upon our own. In short, if Cuba belonged
to US, we would almost exclusively furnish
the materials for feeding, clothing, and
housing her inhabitants, at a handsome
profit, while she would supply us with sugar
and cigars at much lower rates than we
could at present obtain them.
Against these, and many other considera-
tons which might readily be presented in
favor of the acquisition of Cuba, much will
no doubt be said, if the subject is seriously
| agitated, against the annexation of any new
slaveholding States; but it is doubtful
whether this single consideration, however
consonant with the prejudices and feelings of
many of the people of the North, could pre-
vent US from embracing any fair opportuni-
ty of honorably acquiring the brightest
jewel of the Spanish crown, should it be
afforded, unless sectional animoSities reach
the very highest point.

A THRIVING LovER.-Alfred Grutier, a
Frenchman, said to belong to one of the op-
era troops, was arrested in Philadelphia on
Wednesday, on the charge of being a fugi-
tive from the State of New York, where he
stands charged with stealing silverware and
jewelry, valued at $4,000. 1t appears that
for some time past he has been paying his
addresses to a widow lady, also French,
who, it is alleged, he had arranged to marry
in six weeks. A house was secured in New
York, and everything was in readiness for
the happy event. Towards the close of last
week, it was discovered that Grutier was
missing. 1t was also found that he had
carried off all the jewelry belonging to the
lady, and left her completely penniless.-
She pursued him to that city, where he was
caught, and the greater portion of the prop
ty recovered.

Presidential Aspirants

The '.ssiIingtou correspondent of the
New York Herald gives the following ac-
count of the intrigues going on at WASH
ington;
The Presidential SUGGESTIONS engages much
more of the attention of the Democratic as
pirants here and elsewhere, than the masses
of the party can have any notion of. The
Union continues to pour its hot shot into
Douglas Notwithstanding the fact, his defeat
must be the defeat of the Illinois Democratic
party. But there is little firm here for
the Presidency, consisting of Senator Sill
dell, of Louisiana, and Senator Bright, of
Indiana, who are determined, at all hazards,
to bring Douglas to the block, because he
and his friends stand in the way of Messrs
Bright and Slidell, between whom it is
agreed that Slidell shall be the Democratic
candidate in 1860, for President, and Bright
for Vice President. These are the men that
are engaged on the Union. AS for the Pres
ident, he is disposed to let Douglas have his
wish in letting him fight out his battle
without interruption, one way or the other.
On the other hand, Gov Wise is in the
same boat with Douglas, and the Richmond
Enquirer is, therefore, working for the Lit
tie Giant like beaver, which will make
by and by, very pretty kettle of fish of
Virginia democracy; for the Hunter men,
when the time comes will move heaven
and earth, if they can, to get Wise under
the matches. You will also observe tina.
while some of the Southern fire-eaters are
perfectly ferocious against Douglas, Others
of them are disposed to give him the right
hand of fellowship for 1860. So that you
will perceive that the Democratic Presiden-
tial wire-workers for 1860, are pretty thor
Oughly mixed up.

BANKING IN PENsYLvANIA.-The bank in
vestigating committee, appointed by the last
Legislature of that State, have made re-
port, exposing some of the most bold and
deliberate frauds that have ever been at
tempted, under the color of law. Six banks
were organized, and four of these were ac-
tually put into operation by set of sharp
ers, most of them from Buffalo, and some
from Ohio, and Indiana, without capital, and
these banks had, lately, an aggregate cir
culation of Sl54,5l5, with only S9,725 in
coin. These banks are managed by-z-@t OF
unscrupulous, reckless plunderers, and for
the circulation the public have no security
whatever.

BsS~ The Cincinnati papers report most
atrocious attempt of a father to starve his
own child to death. The man had married
a second wife, and they had confined the
child, only two or three years old, to back
wood shed, and were denying it all food,
and when discovered by the neighbors it had
become dreadfully emaciated; when food
was given it, the little sufferer devoured it
ravenously. The father pretended the child
was sick and would not take food when Of
fered, and that it emitted bad odor, that
compelled him to put it out of the house.
The physician declared nothing was the
matter of the child except the want of food.
The father and step mother were sent to
Jail on charge of assault with an intent to
kill.

The following is Senator Hendersons let
ter, as published in the Texas State Gazette,
giving an account of the opportunities of
the President to secure his vote for the Eng
lish swindle:
PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 1858.
MAJ. JOHN MARsHALL-My Dear Sir: !
left Washington city on day before yesterday
evening, just after the final passage of the
Kansas compromise BILL | did not vote on
the bill at its passage
On the morning of the day the bill final
ly passed, the President sent for me, and
made such an earnest and strong appeal to
me to vote for the BILL and aid in saving his
Administration and the Democratic party of
the North, as TO induce me to leave the SEN
ate Chamber and not vote at all, as ] would
have felt bound to vote against the bill if !
We are s:ii unfortunate people; and when
VIC will be able to present the question in a
shape to unite the majority of our people in
standing by their rights is hard to foresee.
Yours, very truly,
HENDERSON.
What depth of degradation has the
country reached when its chief officer can
beg and coax, and importune member Of
Congress to vote for the bill How effec-
tually does it demolish every pretence of
the LecomptOn organs that the President
used no influence to pass his pet measure!
Here is confession of the most direct and
degrading influence, not whit better than
bride in spirit, and but little better in form.
The President, who could do what the dy-
ing Senator says Mr.. Buchanan did, would
Jribe just as readily. Henderson was trem-
bling on the verge of the grave when he
wrote that letter, and when our "noble
pure, high-hear ted President" sent for him
to beg him to support not a measure of
benificence, or deed of charity, but fraud,
a confessed, convicted fraud, the most open,
impudent, and mischievous ever attempted
in our history.
