The Cuba Issue In 1850.

The colonies of Europe the New World quite as

Of the Old World. The Cuban question appears likely

United States the Italian question can he between
France and Austria. The American President has for

Spanish government may be bought, and the
officially rcpuoiated the snppoeiton insult The
Dorri Administrations has al the time increased s

recusr political morality of the United States that

botn Of the government and the fhbusters OF the
United States will hardly undergo change until after the
next Presidential election Mr. Buchanan has accepted
the general elections for the House Of Represenatv
cat that the majority of the constituencies of the
states have disapproved the lawless policy winch he

everything to lose, both in ambition and repute.
