different position towards the whites from that which tbiey hold among us. It is clear tha it would cost no great ef fort on the part of the, Spanish authori ties to throw the slate p9pulation Cu ba into a state of complete insubordina tion. .Would they do it ? - Perhaps not "but there is probability enough to make it & very interesting point iu discussing the duty and policy of the Southern States in regard -to the acquisition of Cuba by force. J: . It doeS not follow, therefore that in conquering Cuba we should gain a slave country;--It is quite- as'uneettain, if we did, that it would be admitted as a State. If the South iu interested in restoring the sectional balance, the North" is bent on retaining her superiority.'' Before, they had an equality in the Senafe, and they succeeded fn depriving California of all-government whatever., " until it mmt before them for admission as a State with an anti-slavery cOnstitutionh' Now, tlx?y can not only check'tbo SoAth, they can vote uY down, in both Houses; and are ;they- likely to surrender a superiority .which they have violated every principle j m mm ir ri u i i 1 1 i tiiiii ui i nn tru rj i r rt sa m i m nr "to-jEitain I, -Besides, in what condition ouid Cub. be to justify her admission :Tinifetbe Union ? fhere .is a white pop Jtilation, native to the island or perma nently settled, amounting to near G00.- OOO, (double that" of the white popula tion of S6ut& Carolina," in d territory little larger than our State,) not one of whom ever exercised a political franchise, or ever took a share m public affairs, other than to submit to the power and shout; around the chariot wheels of es tablished authority. We propose to drive out all those who have ever held : rule; and of those who have heretofore only had - experience of unquestioning submission we propose to make a demo ratic republic, and this in the face of 200,000 free-blacks and 400,000 slaves tresnly .imported trom Alrica. Among all the recent abortive attempts at free government in Europe, was there a sin gle one commenced under such desperate auspices- as this? Is it not absolutely certain that to preserve order in such a "eommunitv an armv would h nrvpssnrv? And where there was an army for the purpose of domestic peace and civil ruse, could there be a State ? Would we ad mit into the Union a State which had I no power of self-government, but was in i the hands of the United States army and navy? But, suppose all these diffi culties conquered, what has the South gaiped by restoring the balance of soc- tions? We surrendered everything when . we allowed the North to appropriate the whole of the Western Territories. There . will be new States formed whose admis sion we cannot oppose on any. hitherto recognised principles, and what have we to balance them ? Can we keep Minne sota, or Oregon, or Nebraska, or New Mexico out of the Union for any length of time:, and, when one of thenr 13 ad mitted, what becomes of the' sectional equilibrium?

We bave thus, ia the briefest space answered the two 'arrmn.Pri'c atinA by Southern men for the acquisition of Cuba. There still remains some consid erations ntfttfnimportant to our readers. One of the considerations that uatu- rally should influence opinion at the. South is. that with the possession of Cu ba, Spain is a sl'ayeholding State, having interests and sympathies in some degree identical with ours. Like the South, RDe must be opposed to that mischievous negro-phirism which has so ! deeply in fected Western Europe andithe North ern states, and thus Spain ' breaks that phalanx of aggressive : opinion ' which "'"" 1U many ways to disturb the relations of peace. Naturally, Spain is our. ally, and her interests would secure her to us as a friend. Our intercours e jnd trade with Cuba would be favored . beyond .that of States hostile to her on the subject of slavery: and ;fJ, confidence in our friendship, the South would be counted the lest safeguard for the preservation of the industrial insti tutions of that great and rich colony , Deprive Spain of Cuba, and she has no longer any interest in the support of slavery. We throw into the ranks of our enemies tne only nation ; of Europe that now , has any sympathy' with our cause, and. we add to the hostility of all by giving a proof of an aggressive, graFi )ng spirit, blinded by the love of ncqui Bltion to the commonrnt l.n P vand wrong, and the plainest duties of - - 1 iv 11 Vgoou neiguDorliood., - ' ' K- We are casting away, all the advanla s ges we might easily secare. .throuHi the - JW "lanqnarQalready shaken.

The Uuhed 4t?S some other nation,, might .then step into her place. But for the South, whatf: sort of possession would it be, thus cov ered with dearths and filled with anar- j chy, by the very process through which it had been obtained ? Its slaves turned loose for want of profitable employment, its rich plantations gone to waste, - and its white population embittered against us by a long course of petty hostilities ! Would it bo a proud thing for the Sou thern, people to look on such a scone, and say, " This is our work !" rbe very course of lawless and treach erous warlare which, the people of the North have adopted towards them would in this case receive their own sanction, and they would make themselves a par ty to the consideration of the mischiev ous principle that no restraints of faw, or kiirduess, .or good ueichborhood ore to be rcfpcted towards a bordering peo ple wuose governments and institutions are not exactlv after our model. Will they be brouyht to commit so suicidal an act?"

We do not now allude to the monarchi cal habits of the people, which would rcnaer a standing army tor tne preser vation of order indispensable ; nor to the difference of race, which would make it the hardest cf.aU things to in troduce our political institutions there; nor to the fact that there has always been an established -religion in the Island, leagued with the Government, claiming universal obedience, and supported by a tithe of the produce of all lunds ; nor to the equally imposing fact that with it present commerce, and with the hab.ts of smgsling that have grown up every where, Cuba must be filled with a cus tom-house iolicc as Well as a Btandincr army, and thus become the mere crea- ture of the federal Government, and its natural ally in every aggression upon the South ; we pass over all these weiditv considerations, and find in thr sole condition of slavery in Cuba a pow- erful argument against its annexation, The trese nt white bornlation of Cu- ba is 600,000; the free colored popula- jer- ri,thJ loathsome, abominible and tion somewhat more than 200,000, and 1 poisonous crush it to atoms before you the slaves about 420,000.

Thus, all the dissatisfied, and alL Ihe ambitious among the slaves are in a perpetual' transition toward freedom, and the class of free colored people, which ordi narily increase, very slowly, is i Cuba me most rapidly tuirancinc of all. In tlte last ten jears it has increased 5 per III, The tlave population i. kept np by -v .1i..aii!.iae iraae. i ue annexa tion of Cuba would be a deoth.-blow to ttus trade. Our laws, andjhe universal fe-cliug cf our people, are opposed to it : and if this were not enough, our Gov crnnient is now in the hands of the Free States, and in league with England and France for the suppression of the trade. With this suppression of the slave trade 6n one side, and this incessant emancipation on the other, what chance would Cuban slavery have of escaping from the Abolitionists of the North, and ed? too i.ee urgroes with whom it a throntr. w e . r moreover, there is an addltioni.1 obstruction to the preservation cf the slave population in its actual condition. Ihe male population exceeds the female in .the proportion of about five to three, and this has been the case for a period dating back to. the earliest census of the island which we have seen. It is said indeed, that such is the severity of la- oor mat tins enormous irregularity of ' 1 iiiua 01 mat irregularity of conduct that would nearly destroy tU natural increase under a mild system, but it is" ah essential consideration in estimating the prospects of the slave population ; and we are bound to con clude that without the slave trado all the great planting interests of Cuba must undergo a steady and fatal decline. We vainly hope that the laws thus destructive of it would be changed by the annexation of Cuba. ' We should not be her legislators, were she a state Of the Union. Cuba is already peopled, and by a race that would retain its jeal ous evclusivccees with nil the fervid tenacity of religions bigotry and nation al and social repulsion.

This Texas of ours is a remarkably prolific country. ETcry field stands luxuriant, crowded, so that it can ncarce wave under the breexe, with corn, or su gar, or cotton, hrery cabin is full and 1 overflowing, through all its doors and windows with whitehaired children. 1 Every prairie abounds in deer, prairie hens, and cattle. , Every river and creek is alive with fish. The whole land is electric with lisards perpetually darting about the grass like flashes of green lightning. We have too much prairie and too little forest for a great multitude or variety of birds. But in horned frogs, scorpions, tarantulas and eentepedes, we Deal tne universe. - luvervbodv baa seen horned frogs. You see them in jars in the windows of apothecaries. Ion are entreated to purchase them by loafing boys on the levee, at New- Orleans. They have been neatly soldered up in soda-boxes, and mailed by yonog gen tlemen in Texas to fair ones iu the old States. The fair ones receive the neat package from the post-cCce, and are de lighted at the prospect of a daguerreo type perhaps jewelry open the pack age eagerly Jknd faint, as the frog with iu hops out, in excellent health, upon them. Ahorned frog is simply a harm less frog, with very portentous herns It has horns because everything in its region trees!, shrubs, grass even, has thorns and nature makes it In keeping with all around it. A meaagerie of them would not be expensive.. .They are content to live upon air and can, if desired, live, I am told, for several months without even that. ' The Scorpions are precisely like those of Arabia iu the shape of a lobster, ex actly, only not more than some three iuches long. You are very apt to put one upon your face in the towel which you apply thereto after washing. I you do you will find the stiuc about equa to that of a wasp nothing worse. Ttcv are far less poisonous than the scorpion of the East in fact, none except new comers dread them at all. But the tarantula! Ycu remember the elasticity with which you sprang iu the air that time you were just on the P5nl of putting your raised foot down upon a' snake coiled in your path.

Lhscoveml at tbe lower end of the sa l.'ou; driving the whole body of passen gers, before it, it almost drove the whole company, crew-and all overboard. The first I saw was at the bouse of a frieud. I f pied it crawling slowly over the wall, meditating murder upon the chidren playiug in the room. Excess ively prudent in regard to my fingers, I at last, however, had it safely imprison ed in a glass jar, unhurt. 1 here was a flaw in tbe glass as well as a hole in thm cork by which it could breathe; but in ten miuutes it was dead from rage. Soon after I killed three upon my place, crawling about upon ground trodden every day by the bare feet of my little boy. . A mouth after I' killed a whole nest of them. They had formed their family circle under a doorstep, upon which the aforesaid little fellow played daily. Had he seen one of them, he would of course have picked it up as a remarkably promising toy; and I would e wen cniicuesg. I was sitting one day upon a log in the woods, when I saw one slowly crawl out to enjoy th evening air and the sunset scenery. -He was the largest, most bloated one I trer saw. An I was abou to kill him, I was struck with tbe conduct of a chance wasp. It, too, had seen the tarantula, and was flying slowly around it. The tarantula roeogliixed il as a fee, and throwing itself upon its hind legs, breaihed defiance. For some tune the wasp flew around it, ,0d then like a flash flew right against it, under its bleeding belly. Tbe tarantula gnash fd its red aud venoroed jaws, and threw its long hairy legs .bout in impotent round it, watching for. another opportn nity. Again and again did it dash its ue wasp new round m.nA .k .L I Vluc rscape.
