It seem by tb-movement of Mr. Siidell in th I'niicd Sutea Senate,' which wa approved of by many Senators, that ther some tiling more important involved in oar rela tion with Cuba than, is generally believed by th peopl. Tb Becaseity of a propositi to give the I'reaident the extraordinary power to euspend our neutrality laws during the receos of Congress, indicates tb possibility of aa andentanding be tweea some of tha Western power of Europe, ia certain contingencies, to guaranty to Spain the possession of Cuba against th United Slates. Our readers will recollect th celebrated proposi- boa of a tripartite conveotioa proposed by-Eojj-. land and Franca to tba Cnited States, the object of which was to bind th three govern nienufti an agraement to renounce, both now ami hereaf ter, all intention to obuin possession of tb is land of Cuba, and to discountenance all attempU on the part of other to wrest it from Spain. Mr. Kverett's celebrated letter to the English and French Ministers gave a quietus to thia matter at the time, but there are reason for believing that those governments have not yet given -up their purpose in that respect. Tlie subsequent diffi culties of ourUoyernnient with the authorities t-uua growing out of the Black n amor affair, as well as the enigmatical declarations of an English Minister in reference to tlw-viujecU of the Eng lish and French alliance so far as it may affect the affairs of tbe Western continent, give some rmodjRitiiJ)el1cf.tIwt thwrtHirt 1 huh rtlatinn cxistiuj: boturu tb'..

Froin tlie imposing manner in which these resolutions are were intended to supply tlie deficiency, in the . .cwu. a oiiwra urnor .noMsngc, oi a oircet proposition for h..tilc movements against Spain. Both diM'tiinenU proent the grievances nnder which the I'niicd States Got eminent have been too long patient; and others vrould answer as a basis for a doulnration of war. The President would not. however, assume the responsibility of (.uiiiii'ii,iiiiKaiiyin'.;nsuroi nontitiucs, wlietlior of rejtrtSitls or tdoirk nde, or a reptfal of -ncntrnlitT laws, or mi open declaration of war. " The ll-iuse cnnimiMeo on foreign affairs, to which the I'riMident's message wit referred, find ing that the President rocominendod nothing, probably supposed that he meant nothing, and therefore they havedone nothing.

VETO OK THriTNBII.U. As was giteu out by newspaper correspond ents, the President has vetoed the bill appropri ating lands for the benefit of the itiiligentiruiane, The meisage was sent into the Senate on the 3d insf.-The President takes the position that such appmprintionsare unconstitutional, on the ground that it is an exercise of authority by Congress nut delegated! to it by tbe Constitution, and a di rect inlnngeikent upon the rigbu of the States. Aspecial pic Tai put up rot. the power tn grant lanilsToriociil purposes Tiitlie" ?tate"fii 'wFiicG the lands lie, and quite a pantile is made over the doctrine of prudent nronriea"-ir- loOotufga. .w oy tno i-resiiient in bis annual message, stripped or its abstractions, it merely declares that I ongrest has no right to donate lands to all tlie States in proportion to the general change ana expenditure, but it has a right to give land, iu nucrnaie sections te railroad companies, the swamp lands to th States in which they lis, and lands for various objects in States containing the puhiio landa, but not an acre to the old States mat nave none in their borders. A great parade Is made about the Cnited State being tlie great almoner for the States, and the States looking up to tb General Government for appropriations fur objeeU of a benmrolcnt or local character, under ,n yslcm of making general donations to all tbe States, but not a word is said ia derogation of special donations to particular State for such impose. Tbe whole message will suit exactly those whn re lond of senseless abstractions, such as those that deny powers to the General Government that would benefit af the State, hut claim such a would enure to the advantage of a few. It It a special plea fur tb support of "tb new States, and an entire and total disregard of the rigbu and interest, of those States that nrst gat wt ms uenerai iiovcrniuent large quantities of land, in trust on certain conditions, which con ditions have been repeatedly disregarded.
