SPANISH OPINION OF THE PRESENT ASPECT Oh
AFFAIRS In THE STATES

From the Didrio de la Marina of Havana, March q.
Does the Government Of President Lincoln, do the
thinking men of the Federal Sates really believe in the
re- establishment of the Union by of which
has now lasted three years!
We wish to put this question: but do not o. present
desire to eucdats i. Perhaps opportunity to do
may present itself At this present moment, and
accor lirg TO wi at have heard fro Northern men,
utterly opposed to separation but who, from the i'm.
porance OF their interests, are bound to think Of the
future and who the best footing in high official
CT cIes neither the Federal Government It's military
chiee nor capitalists Of iortu0e and property, believe
in the possibility Of subduiug the South, asd much lees
in the re-establshment Of the Union 1t for
merly.
Why then carry on the war with so much fury? This
question has not yet been put by the press but pr-
vat,ly it has, veil Washington in other political
circles for il appears that it is not convenient to prlt
it in the wsp pers much lees discuss and above all
answer it," L The people would pen err eyes TO the
object which the vernment OF hr. Lacoln proposes
to 1t elf tie would have to step for want of re-
sources of al kinds
wbys Because, as everything appears to indicate,
and such is sad to be the purpose OF the Government,
the design now, above every thing else is to centraze
power by gradually destroying the autonomy of each
Safe, that finally and at length the federation may
disappear and a nation be established instead. The
Germans, proposing the candidacy of General Ere
for the Presidency, have let slip that significant
expression. They have been precpiate to the great
Disgust oil those who have taken so much trouble to
keep the eecrat-a which has been for time
past plain enough to the eyes o. those who see q
little beyond their noses.
We have not thought cut these points which print;
have taken them partly from private letters written
by parsons of authority. Others have gathered 10
conyefsa'ions with Americans entirely beyond suspicion
in regard to political opinions and according to whom
all who have anythirg 10 lose cannot do otherwise than
coincide with the Government VII ca progresses towards
the above mentioned object.
In writing these lines have emily desired 10 pro-
pound interesting question and repeat that an oc-
casion may be presented OF calculating it eIten
