Annexation of the Istand of Cuba, It will be seen by the reports of the debates published in this day’s Herald, that the subject of the annexation of the island of Cuba to the ‘United States, has produced cuite an excite- ment in Congress. When it was first broached in the columns of this journal, some of our cotemporaries attempted to throw discredit over our statements, and ridiculed the idea as much as they could. The truth 18, however, that all we stated concerning the matter, are fixed facts. From the character of this debate, and the persons who took a hand 1n it, it seems there is a strong party in Congrees in favor of the annexation of that island; and one of the members of the Senate went so tar as to say that General Taylor, the President elect, Was committed in favor of it. EThis subject, we have no doubt, will be much agi- tated in Congress and throughout the country dur- ing the ensuing four years; and in connection with the slavery question, itmay produce results which no one can anticipate at the presenttime. There 18 a strong disposition in the Southern States in fa- yor of the annexation of this beautiful island, but the North is just as much opposed 1o it, on slavery grounds. Between this time and the 4th of March, 1852, the question may be carried in Congress, si- multaneously with the anvexation of Canada. By this double measure the North and the South would be satisfied, for there would be an equal gain to eech, and the interests and feelings of each would be balanced. It is certain that the slavery question» which is creating such a commotion and agitation throughout the country, will never be settled as long asCuba remains in her present position on the one side, and Canada on the other. Remova or tuk Carita, To Cincinnati.—In order to get rid of the exciting subject of slavery an the District of Columbia, and put it at rest for ever, it 18 proposed that the whole of what re. mains of that district, after the retrocession of tuat portion of it which originally belonged to the State of Virginia, be ceded back to the State of Maryland, Virginia having seme time since re- ceived her part. The public +buildimgs, and the ground on which they are located, are, however, proposed to be reserved to the use of the United States for the present. But it seems that this movement is intended only a8 a preliminary measure towards renoving the capital to Cincinnati, or some other poiat west of the Alleghanies. This @ measure which, it 18 contended, will soon be necessary, in consequence of the great growth and increasing importance of the Northestern and Western States. When we reflect upon the great increase of population that has been taking place in the Northweet and West for the last few years, it 18 very probable* that by the time the next census shall have been taken, those regions will be en- titled to as much representetion in Congress a will exefcise a controlling influence in the legis lation of the Union. In thie pot of view, therefore, we would not be surprised if a measure of this kind were carried into eflect before ten years. With the great in crease of population, avd the growing importance of those distant regions, it will be a matter of neces- sity to have the seat of goveroment more centrally tuated than it now 18 in Washington. We are induced to think too that it would b: a judicious movement. The sentiment of the people of that region of the United States, is much stronger in favor ot preserving the integrity of this confede- racy, than that of the South generally, or of the fanatical portion of the North; and the removal ot the capital there would make that sentiment still stronger, and have the tendency to add to the per- menence of the Union, although it might give a preponderating influence to thet portion of the country. This, however, cannot be avoided; in- fluence will increase im the same ratio with popu- lation. Stis a happy thing for the welfare and perma- nence of this confederacy, that the sentiment in those regions is so strong in {avar of preserving It, and that the ultras of the North and South consist of materials volatile, as well as being without strength or organization. Jack Frost anp the Orena.—Daring the past week the Opera has become very thin, and the sleighing has been very fine,’ although Benedetn and Trofli never sung better, Mr. Fry has ceriain- ly met with a most serious opposition in Sack Frost and the fine sleighing. If Jack Frost should continue bis opposition for a week longer, we Mors Casinet Maxina+Cotonet, Wasp Sxcretary at War.—Our cotémporaries of the press, throughout the country, are still busily ea- geged in constructing cabinets for General Taylor, as well as filling the various departments and all the smportant and profitable posts under the new government. One curious stick of timber, thrown up in the recent freshet, which we have seen, is that which we find in a neat country paper, pub- lished at Dundee, a small town in Yates county, of this State. It 1s called The Record, and 1s con- ducted by E. Hoogland.. From its rich and inte- resting columns we extract the tollowiag high hoist, concerning our cotemporary of the Courier and Enquirer: — Jamzs Watson Wenn —Few individuals connected with the prees b: Tt apd abuse thi article: and we believe, have been more unjustly aseailed or more wantonly attacked. than Col But amid all the vituperation heaped upon his di bead, he bas stood up like the chivairic gentleman that be (a, and laughed his traducers to soorn—lived above them, and lived the wn, During the recent political campaiga ha has bean confessedly the head aud front of the Taylor party in this State; he it was who ret toe ball in motion, aad immediatel, the battl Alto and Remoa monthe almost alone to ber up the cause of hia favor- ite candidate sgainet opposition euch aa no onal.

During the whole campaign he never bemeaned himerlf, never desound- ed to low blaekguardism. nor condescended to bandy epithets with any one. but faithfully upheld the dig- nity of the newepaper press and the cause he bad eapoused; and could we reach the ear of the President elect, we would suggest that, among all his friende. could find monein whore wi of Colonel is only « militia matter] in the United Stetes army, is skiifal as. polit tslented. and well in- formed on every subject of government that distin. guisher and befits the ntatenman. He would adorn the war office. and do honor to the adminiatration, as well as good service to the country. in that povition ‘Well done, good fellow. This is going the whole hog, with a vengeance. Col. Webb, we under- derstand, is a candidate for a foreign mission, either at Berlin or Vienna; but this new kink in cabinet making puts him in the war office. Well, probably he will be as good there as in the other place, until he can speak German. He is equally as well qualified as many who have filled the war office for the last few years. But our co- temporary of Dundee seems to make a little mis- take in sureming up the services of Col. Webb in the cause of General Taylor. Our respected co- temporary of the Courier and Enquirer certaialy did not “set the ball in motion” after the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca. That ball and that predic- tion were first set in motion and made in the columns of the New York Herald. Colonel Webb, of the Courter and Enquirer, discounte- nanced all the movements in favor of General Taylor until sometime in January, 1848, In- deed, in "46 and ’47, upon several occasions the Courier and Enquirer made an attempt to bring out the name of General Scott for President; but finding no response in any quarter he dropped General Scott, and as a dernier resort, and in abeolute necessity, our Wall street friends then came out boldly for General Taylor. This was a short time before the wiug convention met in Philadelphia, when there was every indication that that body would take up the hero of Buena Vista. Yet we do not urge these facts m deroga- tion of the chances of Col. Webb, either to become Minieter at War, or Envoy to Berlin or Vienna. ‘When at last he did come out, we are happy to confess, he did good service to the cause, aad helped to bring abouta revolution which many persons have taken the credit of starting or direct- ing, without being well entitled to any such credit. But for his nomination to the war office. This is one additional stick of timber to the cords of wood which have been collecting for the last few weeks, for the purpose of manufacturing a durable and permanent cabinet for Gen. Taylor. We have nearly a dozen of new names which have been brought cut for places in the cabinet during the last few weeks. What their chances may be wo will investigate at our leisure. In the meantime, we understand Col. Webb will be at Washington previous to the inauguration and during the opening, of the new presidency. He will then have an op- portunity of ascertaining trom Gen. Taylor, in per- sen, what his chances are either for the war de- partment or the mission to Berlin or Vienna. We «ish hom ell lots of luck, and think he ean hardly fail, a8 he is evidently determined to be something anyhow. AnotTuER Revoivtion.—Brazivtan Tea.—A few days ago we received, through the Brazilian Em- bassy dt Washington, two samples of tea, growa and manufactured in the Brazils, which, in point of quality, do not differ much from the ordinary aseortments of a similar kind, so largely imported uito this country from Canton. The samples are ot two kinds—the one black, and the other green orhyson, and were grown and prepared at the botame garden of the city of Suro Préto, Province of Minas-Gerais. Having spent our New Year’s day amidst the snow heaps and beautitul scenery of the Hudson opposite the Palisades, we had an opportunity of testing the flavor and strength of these teas, during that brief retirement to enjoy the comforts of a country fire-side, as well as the excitement of a sleigh-ride along the Hudson bank. As well as we can judge of such an article, we pronounce both samples to be excellent. Indeed, we are led, from these samples, to expect to see, at no very distant day, a considerable trade in tea springing up between New York and the Brazils; and we should not be eurprised to find, before half a cen- tury shall have paesed away, that among the other revolutions of the times there will be a signal revolution 1n the tea trade. Tor Cuorera.—There 1s every reason to believe that the cholera, if it was the Asiatic cholera at all, has expended its force and become extinct at Qua- rantine. There have been no new cases or deaths for the last three days, and the Board of Health have discontinued their sessions. ‘The truth 18, there has been a great deal of un- necessary alarm on thig subject; and the panic wich prevailed here a short time since was created by certain persons, aided and assisted by certain journals, the xpress being the head and front of them, for speculative and selfish purposes, There 1s no question that the interests of the city have suffered in agreat degree by the panic, 80 much so that we do not think a quarter of a mil- lion of dollars would repair the damage.

St. Will be rent direct to Sen Fram in navigation, Mizeage or Mussenarns ano Menges or Con- onxss.— Marsa Greeley is making a great fussin the House of Representatives, at Washington, as well asin hia paper, the Tribune, in New York, about the mileage of the messengers who couveyed to the seat of government the votes of the Electoral Colleges—a thing which occurs enly once in four years—and the mileage of membersof Congresa, a3 tf a few dollar, more or less, paid to messeagers or members, is a matter of such great consequence to such a rich country as this is. It only shows, how- ever, the calibre of Mr.Greeley, as well as his absur- dity. Mueea Greeley, as our readers are already aware, 1s a Fourierite philosopher, and his election to the House of Representatives, for the short term, was the last eflortand dying kick of the Fourierites, and a final attempt to reduce to practice the absurd notions which they represent, ia this practical country. Now, we would like to know what all Massa Greeley’s efforts to reduce the mileage of the mes- sengers or members amount to? The fact 1s, that neither the messengers nor the members are paid as much as they are entitled to, uot near as much a8 professional men and men of talent can make in the capacities which many of them have aban- doned by going to Wa-hiagton, and sitting in the national councils of Congress, Our members of Congress are not paid enough, They ought to be paid more, in order to enable them to uphold a bet- ter position in Washington than many of theta are able to do on the pittance which they receive. Instead of receiving eight dollars a day every member of Congress ought to receive a regular salary of at least five thousand dollars a year. They are worth that sum, and they ought to have it. This system of paying them by the day degrades them to the condition of day laborers. If they were paid a regular an- nual salary of five or six thousand dollars a year, they would go to work at once after the opening of each session, and perform the business betore them, instead of disgracing themselves and the country, as they sometimes do, by having tong, un- meaning, and ridiculous debates, and uttering in- terminable speeches of the same character, about nothing. ‘ The truth is, Massa Greeley’s movements in Congress are the last kick of the Fourierites, For meny years past he has been endeavoring to gain position by putting forth the ndiculous notions and fancies of the Fourierite school of socialist. His sect have made many attempts to reduce their theories to practice; but in every instance in which they tried it—in France, England, and the United states—those attempts have ended in a0- thing but deception, delusion, disaster and de- pression. We have a signalexample of this in the project of Cabet and its finale im Texas. Yet, in spite of the good sense of the age, Greeley still persicta in his absurd attempts to belittle legisla- tion, and convert Congress into a mean and con- temptible shop of day laborers. He himself is a mixture of sense and absurdity, heretofore pretty well balanced, but now we perceive that the good serse Is in the minority, and the absurdity is ac- quiring @ greater influence over his mind. He will, however, find his level by and by. At pre- sent, his efforts to reduce the mileage of members of Congress, as well as that of the messengers, creates nothing but contempt and ridicule.
