EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY AFTERNOON. (> AbvERTIszMENTS should be han: in by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. — SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. ‘The Union is egain on Cubs, arguing to show that this Government, though anxious to obtain the island for thirty years past, has steadily abstained from taking it by force as could have been done almost at any moment. The editor says: “ T le pericd the great importance of the scqeisidion hae been feit and declared by the leading statesmen of both parties, under every administration from Mr, Monroe to the pres ctime. Mr. Forsyth, as minister to Madrii in 1322; Mr. Adams, as Seerstary of State in 1823; Mr. Ciay, as Secretary of State in 1825; Mr. A. if Everett, as minister to Spain in 13. Mr. Van Buren, as Secretary of Statein Stevenson, as minister to England . Webster, az Secretary of State Mr. Irving, as minister to Spain in Mr. Upshur, as Secretary of State in Mr, Buchanan, See: ry of State in minister to Spain in 45—all these leadirg and isfluential mem- of both parties and of all administrations to enumerate those since 1348) concurred an the sentiment that the annexation of Cuba to the United States was of vast moment, wtther viewed in @ political, moral, or com- suerg\f/ 2UPYYnan thirty years there cannot be ssid truthfully to have been any real division of >inion on this subject. The annexation of Cuba bas been made an exception to the gen eral ryle of territorial acquisition by the most rominent and earnest opponents of that poli- cy. When it is known by every intelligeat man that during the iast thirty years there hes not been e (cy when cur government could not have made Cuba her own if she had de- teruinéd to exert the power sie possessed, the inquiry is portiment: Why haa the annextion not been effected? If we area nation of fil- libus-ers—greedy for more land and indiffe:- ent whether we get it legally or illegally— bow does it happen that whilst we have been acquiring boundless domains in other quar- ters, we Dave not taken Cuba, which has geen all the time wishin our grasp? We would be glad to see this question answered by some 0! the foreign organs which now charge that we are provoking an uvjastcollision with Spain, Ss @ pretext lor gratifying our land stealing Pro ensity by siezing upon Cuba.” The sams paper insists that the Abolitionists are the Zowaves of despotiem, insomuch as they are the spies and pimps for Spain, aiding her ia retaising the Island of Cuba. Lae Latedligencer thieks it unfortunate that what it characterizes as the Unzon’s vagaries should be laid at the door of the Administra- tien, and poizts out what its conductors be- lieve to be the impropriety of the courss of the Union in “ accusing all who quostion its owa wisdom, of aiming a blow atthe Pres- ident,” addiog— “When we desire to express disapprobation of the President’s rsa we shalldo so plain- y. tafier tae semi-cffisi: manpower, perbaps, Bi intoligibly. Ue the contrary, with- ching to invads the p-uvince of the of- cial paper, we have no doubt that the Presi- Gen has given every re able proof of bis Gesire te see the neutrality laws faithfatly executed, acd,asf{ar as we are advised, has fpared ue means iu his power to have them executed.
