WrsIc'n States in a contest between
the Fast and the West. We beg leave

the Soul.ern States. Aud now, from
the foregoing, it is plain that power has
passed from tho East, and that the
West and the South can govern this
country. Washington will not DO the
capital of the United States ten years =
perhaps not five.
PROMISE OF CUBAN ISDErENDENcE
ny THE SPANISH GovERNMENr.-Thc
Washington correspondent Of tho Now
York Journn! Of Commerce says:
"The dispatch from Gen Sickles
which was read in the Cabinet meeting
OF Friday last stated that Spain requests
the United States not to press lllc NO
gotaLions to an ullimalum at present.

willing to conccdc the independence Of
Cuba upon terms which will be satisfac.

Inconsistent with Spanish honor. Spain
does not decline the mediation OF the
United States nor rcjrc: the propositions
Of cur Government. but still holds then,
presenting meanwhile tho foregoing re-
quest, and will probably hold them till
settlement of the question is reached.
According TO Gen. S;ckles, the present
rulers of Spain have ben wiling all

Impression among tho heada Of our Gov.
crnment is that Cuban independence is
question Of time, and that time a very
short one. The Cabinet will consider
the question again on Friday.
