But to prevent the possibility of a fusion of the Northern States upon any one candidate, it will be our policy te petup ome new and available Northern man, such a inan as will command the united South, and breal: up the North at least into a hopeless minority. Thus this Nebraska bill covers a much larger surface of round than has been generally supposed. A number of leading Southern politicians are at the bottom of the movement, and their object is nothing) more nor less than a total dissolution of the present dismantled demo- cratic party, and the formation of anew party from iis available materiels, and the available relics of the Inte whig party—a now party upon a stiff’ Southern platform. ‘To this end the administration is to be sustained, and the administration is to sustain the movement, leaving its own claims to the succession eutirciy out of the question. TELEGRAPHIC ANTICIPATED RUPTURE WITH SPAIN—MB. SOULNS JOURSE OF ACTION-~THE SPANION CAUINET— PATNOR OF ESGLAND AND FRANCE THE APRE CANIZATION OF CUBA—BRITISH SLAVAHOLDERS iN OUBA, ETC. Wasmixa "on, May 10, 1854. ‘The imminent danger of war with Spain canaot be over estimated. It is believed hero that before thirty days we will reach a crisis which will eall for the most urgeat measures. We do not believe that Mr. Soulé set oat with apy intention of passing matters to this extreme, but that the instructions with which he was armoi were based upon the idea that Spain would be frightened into listening to propositions for the purchase of Cuba. Private letters have been received here stating that Mr- Soulé has lost the good graces of the fickle Queen of Spain, who is completely in the hands of her Cabinet. As for the Cabinet, they are represented as the supple ia- struments of England and France ; but not only the pur- chase of Cuba, but also the acquiescence of Spain ia the demands so strongly put forth by the United States, | seem further off than ever, On the other hand, Mr. Soulé bas established the most friendly relations with the Queen Mother, and she is as warmly in favor of the sale of Cuba, as the Queen and her ministers are opposed to it. Thus the matter stands; and as long as the present Spanish Cabinet hold together, English and Freneb in- terests will be in the ascendant. Yet it is possible, though scarcely probable, that the af- fair may be amicably adjusted. England will doubtleas try to temporize, but if our government listen to any such overtures after the stand taken, it will be disgraced. ‘The only hope that ovr peaceable relations will not be disturbed, lies in the possibility of Spain’s acceding to our demands. ‘Thore is reason to believé that the Captain General of Cubs has, before this instituted the incipient steps to Africantze the island. ‘The process to be adopted, will be the emancipation of ell held as slaves upon service, as apprentices or emancipees for a term of years, scaled ac cording to age and other circamstances. The holders will be.compensated after the plan prescribed by the British emancipation act of 1825. It is believed the British and French governments will rantee the sum of twenty-five millions of dollars ne- sary to effect this object. It appears that many of the large slaveholders in Cuba are British subjects, and as the British laws make it felony for their subjects to slaves are claimed by Spaninnia, the amount of compen- sation will, in consequence, be greatly reduced. Congress, may ask for power to blockade Cuba and Porto Ric. This is, however, rumor. THE NEBRASKA BILL—COL. FREMONT, ETC. Mr. Grow made an exceedingly able speceh to-day against the Nebraska bill. Even the friends of the bill conceded its power. The Nebraska bill ie, we think, get ting stronger, and we have no doubt of it« passage. The regular debate will be elosed,probably,at three o’cluck on Friday, after which there is a growing disposition not to adjourn till the bill isreported to the House. . Many op- ponents of the measure are willing to get a vote upon {t, and bow to the will of the majority as sooh as possible, so as not unnecessarily to obstract and delay the public business.

Mr. SEWARD (dem..) of Ga., though objecting to the de- tails of the bill, would vote for it because it was designed to remove the Missouri restriction.
