Cuba.

The Washington States endeavors TO make
it appear that the acquisition Of the Island
Of Cuba should be regarded as a Northern
and not Southern measure" The writer
contends that the manufacturing East, the
bread-making West, and the commercial
Middle States, have quite as great stake
in the matter as the South We observe
also, that similar views are expressed by one
or two Northern journals Thus the New
York Times says =" Commerce would be
the great interest which would profit most
by the Americanization Of Cuba and the
commercial section is, therefore, the one
which will be most jealous in its support.
New York city is not less deeply interested
in the accomplishment of this purpose than
the Southern section of the Union. 1t
would add ten or fifthen millions yearly to
our trade, offer new markets TO the grain and
-four Of the West, as well as to the manu-
features of New England, and add immense
ly to the military strength and national sta
bility Of the whole country. Hundreds and
thousands of Northern capitalists would in
vest in its plantations and make it their
winter residence and in all essential re.
spects it would be commercially and socially
q dependency Of New York and the North.
And instead Of becoming, as many persons
fear it would, part Of future Southern
slave empire, the bonds Of commerce and Of
interest would make Cuba, if annexed, one
Of the strongest Union States in the Con.
federacy."
The Cincinnati Enquirer insists that now
is the suspicious moment to secure the an
nexation. 1t is stated that short time
since leading Spanish Senator announced
that the expenses Of the Government Of Gu
bs had increased forty per cent. within the
last four years. and that in order to provide
for the deficiency in the revenue Of the is
land, fifty-four millions Of dollars had been
tafeT fJnh TT Inloinc 'tfaasafy aii TN;
is true, Spain may be naturally enough dis.
posed to SELL But the difficulty is as well
with the Treasury Of the United States as
with that Of Spain. Surprising that our
Government officers were disposed to pur-
chase, where under existing circumstances
could they obtain the money?
