The resolution paused by the House of Representatives on Saturday last, by the Urge ot of 98 .yeas to 24 says, U a clear and truthful exposition of tlie feeling entertained by the people of the United Btatesio regard to the revolution now in progress in the island of Cuba. Its words are these: "(mt!, ly tlie llmiHoof Hepre.ntmtatlvcn, That tbe people of 'he I" ii it ml State Mympatlil.i! with tlio people f Cuba in their putrtotU! eii'ortH to ween re Hii-ir Independence Hint chIhIiIIhIi u republican form of government gtiiininteeliig tlio prraoiial liberty ami thr equal political righta of all tin: people, and the lloiiNi! of Reprenenttitlvcn will (rive Its c onst it uIIoiiaI support to tilt!

Had time permitted in the short session of Congress which has just closed that the reso lution should have been offered in the Senate, it wonld no doubt have been passed by an equally large vote in that body. The passage oi this resolution by the Senate would have strengthened its record before the people, bat onld have added nothing to the strength of the resolution nor to the duty inon meant upon the administration to recognize the wish of the country and to aot in aooordauoe with it. In all great questions of national polity the instinot of the people is always in advance of the politicians and placemen; and these are successful in administration in proportion only as they recognizethe ideas of their age and act in accordance with them. The Cuban question is the touchstone of President Gram's administration, lie will suoceed or fail in proportion as he exhibits capacity or incapacity to grasp the problem now presented to him. If he fail to oomprehend the true grandeur and power which attend the march of the Amerioan idea, and waste in dipbmatio parley ' and inaction the precious moments, when "from the nettle danger" he should "pluck the flower safety," he will forfeit the high confl uence which the country has reposed in him, and oonsign his administration from its very start to the distrust and doubt of the people of Amerioa and to the contempt of the states men of the world. The resolution offered on Monday by Assistant Alderman Stephen Roberts, and so promptly passed by the Com mon Council of New York oity, is the true echo of the popular voice to the House reso lution we have qaoted above, and we hope, and the whole country hopes, that the Presi dent will listen to the call of duty and prove himself equal to the task of its requirements. The first step for him to take is to lay down a bold and national line of policy for his ad ministration in this great question, and to re quite every member of his Cabinet to live up to it. When the fires of civil war were lighted in this Union the Cabinets of. Western Europe did not hesitate to show their sympathy with the Rebellion, and Kogland, France, and Spain in rapid succession proclaimed their neutrality between the contending parties, which was in fact a proclamation of their sympathy with the Rebellion. Upon the heels of this announcement came the great fact that the harbors of England and Spain in the islands of the American Mediterranean were converted into nests of blookade-runners, while France undertook the still grander role of establishing an empire in Mexioo. From all these points war was aotively made upon us, and the conflict was greatly prolonged, and our sacrifices of treasure and of blood were enormously inoreased in consequeuoe. When victory perched upon our banners, our first step was to drive the Frenoh out of Mexico. This we did, not because the con tending parties in Mexico had no right to in vite French intervention there, but beoause France made that , intervention a part of the war of Western Europe against the integrity of the American Union. The mar oh of events leaves us no ohoioe in taking the next step in this truly Amerioan policy. Spain converted Cuba into a pioket post hostile to us during the late Rebellion, and now that the natural development of Amerioan ideas and the love of freedom have led the Cubans to proolalm their indepen dence, we owe it to ourselves and to theoause of humanity and civilisation to throw the moral weight of our sympathy and favor in their behalf. The war which Spain 1b to-day waging in Cuba is much more a war agalust us than was French intervention in Mexioo. It is a war to perpetuate African slavery. It is a war to perpetuate a hostile position on our coast, from which to annoy and harass us whenever occasion shall offer. It is a war to stay the march of Amerioan pre ponderance in Amerioa. We should aooord to the Cubans at once the belligerent rights whioh Spain hastened to aooord to the Rebels. When the Sumter ran out from New Orleans to inaugurate the Rebellion upon the seas, had she run into Havana she would have been perfectly safe, and the lives f her crew secure under the proclamation of the Spanish Government. It was the activity oi our own cruisers in tnose waters only that oioted the ports of Cuba to Semmes. When a few Cubans boldly captured a Spanish Bteauie on the high seas, a few days since, had they taken refuge in an American port they weuld have been snbjeot to trial and execution as pirates; and if the friends of free Cuba now buy a few arms from us to help the cause of freedom, they sub.jeot themselves to floe aud imprisonment; while the agents of Spain are allowed free access to our workshops and pri vate arsenals, and are liberally availing them elves thereof to arm their troops and their mad volunteers. Let an end be put to this anomalous state of things, and let us ooufer npon the patriots of Cuba the rights of belligerents by procla mation. They have earned these rights by a successful prosecution of war lor six months; by a conquest of more than one-half of the territory of the island; by pouring out their blood and treasure freely in behalf of freedom; and by their indomitable resolution In burn ing their townB and the seat of their free government, when the tide of war has swept adversely to them. Let the administration be bold and courageous enough to proclaim to the world that it will not hold every man who ohooses to risk his life in freedom's battle to be a robber and a pirate, and entitled to none of the rights of honorable warfare. Let it be true to the instincts and aspirations of the American people, as so well announced by the resolution of the House of Representatives, and be it not afraid to let the whole world know that it loves liberty, and will hail with attraction the triumph of American ideas and of freedom. 4,3 run Mexico Kowerru rnrm the K. Y. WorUL It has beea understood, for several weeks, that President Grant inclines to reoall General Roseorans from Mexioo, and that be would be clad to replace him by the ex-Rebel General Longstreet if he thought the Senate would eonfirm the latter. It has been currently re ported, in the Washington gossip, that he nominated Longstreet for the New Orleans tJaiYejorBfcip w pioneer experiment on the THE DA1IA viwiNG TELE G H A PII PIl 1 LAD E L ril I A, WEDNKSMY, temper of the 8nate, in order to pave the way for bis nomination to the Mexican mission, if he floated bim easily throogh that body lr the minor office. The formidable opposition to Loogstreet's confirmation as Surveyor ha extinguished tbe hope of making him minia te r. At any rat, It has ben de cided 1o reoall Rosecraus; and it had leaked out, in Washington clroles, that the subject was recently discussed in the Cabinet, and that the otiief reason (or displacing Roauoram is the fact that he is a Reman Catholta. General Grant takes a more active interest la the affairs of Mexioo than in those of any other foreign country. At the close of the war, he wished to march an army thither and drive out Maximilian. He now aspires to be a paci ficator tor settling the internal disturbances of that ill-fated and anarchical republic. He thinks that the Protestant sentiment of the United States requires the repression of the Church party in Mexico, and that a Catholio minister is not a suitable agent for counter workiDg the designs of the Mexican clergy. And it is in this viev that he has deoided to recall Roseorans. In our judgment, this is a mistaken and narrow-minded policy. It the first place, our Government cannot conoern itself with ques tions of religion without violating one of its fundamental principles. That it can take no cognizance of religious questions at home, is universally admitted; and surely it has less right to intermeddle in the religious disputes of foreign countries than In those of our own. All tbe internal affairs of foreign countries are matters ofdomestio policy with which we have no proper concern; aud if we were to Intrude beyond onr sphere at all, it would seem that religion should be more exempt from our in terference than any other subjeot. According to our Amerioan ideas, religion is entirely out side of governmental jurisdiction; and if the domestic government of a oountry cannot pro perly include it, how much less a foreign gov ernment, .which has no jurisdiction of any kind beyond the limits of its own territory. It is no doubt true that one of the chief impediments to the success of republican institutions in Mexioo is the influence of its ohuroh dignitaries. They were the abettors of Maximilian, and they nave never had any sympathies with the liberal party. But nothing could be more absurd than the expectation of countervailing their influence through a Pro teBtant minister of tbe United States. There are no Protestants in Mexioo; the only religious differences being between the bigoted and the liberal Catholics. The readiest and most effective weapon of the high church party is to accuse the liberals of a leaning towards Protestantism and a design to subvert the Catholic faith. The with drawal of a minister of the United States for the sole reason that he is a Catholio, and the substitution of another for the sole reason that he is a Protestant, would strengthen the high clergy by supplying them with a formid able means of rendering their opponents odious. There would be plausible grounds for acousing them of an attempt to subvert the Catholio faith, and to subvert it by Protestant inter meddling from the United State topics which would appeal powerfully both to the Mexican Bentiment of rengion and the Uxioan senti ment of patriotism. A change of religion at the dictation of a foreign government is the one thing which would be more strenuously resisted by the popular sentiment of Mexioo than any other; and this is the light in whioh the clerical party will represent the attempt of President Grant. Even allowing that he may properly oonoern himself with the religious difficulties of that unfortunate oountry, he could hardly adopt a more self-defeating method, or commit a more fatal blunder, than the substitution of one minister for another solely on the ground of religion, and thereby arousing and uniting every element of reli gious hostility. The difference between the Mexican liberals and the Mexican bigots is of the same nature as the diff erence between Gallioism and Ultra montanism in France; that is to say, it turns on the authority of the Papacy in the regula tion of religion as a state establishment. The full extent of the Papal claims is not necessa rily admitted by a Catholio community, as is proved by the example of Franoe, of the new kingdom of Italy, by the recent ecclesiastical history of Austria, and, more oonvinolngly to us, by tbe staunch republicanism and nation ality of the Catholics of the United States. There being no Protestantism in Mexioo, it would be the most obvious dictate of good policy if it were permlssiblt. for General GraBt to concern himself with religion in that country at all to co-operate with the liberal Catholics by giving them his moral support, and sending a minister in full sympathy with their views and aims. The minister best suited to that pur pose would be a liberal Catholio, whose ap pointment would shock no religious prejudi ces in Mexioo, ana wno wouia do consiaerea as a representative of the great and liberal Catholio denomination in the United States. A liberal Catholicism is sufficiently favorable to republican institutions, as we all know in this oountry; ana at all events, it is the only element whioh can be arrayed in successful hostility to the bigoted clerical party in Mexioo. A liberal Catholio, who would easily gain the confidence ef the liberal Catholios of Mexico, is the fittest seleotlon for the Mexican mission. Of course, General Grant does not aim to be a propagandist of the Protestant re ligion in Mexico, but only of political reform; and this cannot be promoted by shocking and exasperating the religious prejudices of that country. General Grant is demonstrating his lamen table incapacity to approach political ques tions on their moral side, and put moral foroes in operation to accomplish politioal results. The first Napoleon bad a maxim, whioh he expressed by an apt military figure, that a government should never attack religious errors in front, but always operate on their flank. They are intensified and strengthened by open opposition. If President Grant de sires to weaken the olerioal influence in Mexico, he should attempt it in a manner so covert and indirect as not to frustrate his own design by arousing Catholio hostility and sup plying it with formidable weapons. His plan of operations is calculated to strengthen the clerical party in Mexioo, and to arouse against bim the indignant opposition of tbe Catholios of the United States a double blunder which shows his unfitness to use any other appli ances than physical foroe; shows, in ether words, that his talents are only adapted to war, and not to peaoe. Financial Kit nation In i: f'nnn the S. Y. Uullrliii. ii rope. The financial situation in Europe Is posi tively startling. Its various btates appear to be drilling into certain bankruptcy. With the exoeption of Prussia, whioh seems to be the wisest governed nation in Europe, they all have enormous debts which can never be paid; and, excepting Prussia and England, their expenses exoeed their lnoomes. Taxa tion has been reduced to a scienoe, and there is no art of extorting money from the people with which their respective governments have not made themselves familiar. The ex cess of expenditure over inoome has been so common in all the European countries that tbe fact of a deflolenoy soaroely exoltes atten tion. Yet It is not to be supposed that suoh condition of affairs is not a injurious to na tions as to Individuals. The only differeuii,' is, mat toe eta is slower In the case or lional indebtedness. An individual is rului by debts more easily than a mtttoa. Rat in both eases the inevitable results are baakt ruptcy and ruin. . , j In this view, the fatnl faolli'.y with whioh tbe European governments continue to live beyond their means is by no meaoe enoour aging to the friends of kingly government. Hot they can contrive to obtain credit is a matter of surprise. Rut human credulity has a limit, and people, sooner or later, wiir realise that the enormous national debts they are piling up represent their own misery and poverty. The deficit of the six leading na tions of Europe, last year, was five hundred million dollars more than tbe expenditures of the United States, including interest on the national debt. This indebtedness, however, is not an un mixed evil. It inoreases the dependence of the Government npon the people, and its ten dency is to break down the last remaining links of feudalism. The Governments have contrived to obtain possession of the best por tion of the soil of their respective oountries, which are mortgaged for the payment of prin cipal and interest. By-and-by there will be a fihanoial collapse, and no payment of interest. Then will come the foreclosure and sale of public property. This process has been going on for some time in Spain. The government t that conn try could obtain no more loans, and was obliged to sell off large slices of the publio or royal property to pay expenses. As for the Pope, bis property, Vatican and all. Is pass ing slowly bnt surely into the hands of the Rothschilds, who have mortgages upon almost everything of salable value belonging to him. Other nations are passing through the same ordeal, and will doubtless some of them soon be in tbe hands of the money king. Our own national debt is large enough to cause uneasiness. But there seems to be at least an honest purpose to pay it, prinoipal and interest. It is tbe prioe of the nation's existence, and synonymous with the national honor. Even Mr. Gladstone, the great Eng lish financier, admits that it may be paid off in one generation. But the enormous debts of European nations "represent vast standing armies, odious monopolies, and class legisla tion," and their extinotion is only possible through bankruptcy and revolution. The Tyranny of Capital. From the A'. Y. Tribune. To divide the fruits of industry between the capitalist and the laborer, that there might be harmony, has been attempted from the first organization of sooiety; and attempts are still made, but without success, and there are closing of workshops, and strikes, and appa rently never-ending antagonisms. In all the elaborate discussions, so far as we have seen, no referenoe is made to an import ant element in our soolai struoture, and it seems to us that this should receive careful consideration as a preliminary to an under standing of this question. We refer to the absolute need, in society, that a considera ble portion of the wealth created shall , be reserved that it may be drawn upon ' in times of necessity, and for the appropriation of another portion for publio improvements now become a requisite for individual well-being, and for the maintenance of the poor and the unfortunate; for, we may think as we please, and protest as vehemently as we win, society is a unit, ana it is as muou possessed of individuality and power as the most despotlo emperor. That the required wealth may be set apart, it is necessary, as a first step, that a part of tbe individuals who form society shall have the mental quality leading them to save and to aooumulate, and as we have suoh, this quality of saving may be said actually to inhere in sooiety. These persons we call capitalists, whatever may be their rank, station, or oulture, and, viewed in the proper light, they are publio benefactors. Although they contribute all their powers to the accumulation of wealth, with the idea that what they save is wholly their own, still they are little more than stewards; for whatever disposition they may choose to make of their wealth, it still will be used for the good of society; and, besides, should the publio necessity ever require it, they may be dis possessed of the last dollar. It is true that the necessity must be very great before such spo liation wonld be permitted, for sooiety in stinctively watches and guards reserved wealth, and its total extinotion is as much dreaded as is the death of the queen bee by her subjects. When the laborer, and those who sympathize with him, deolaim against the accumulation of capital, they do not con sider that without It neither themselves nor society, exoept in a savage state, would exist. That wealth engenders extravagance and fol lies of every name is to be granted, but the evil done is confined to unfortunate indivi duals who, in our oountry, soon run their race; nor is this evil at all equal to the good which accumulated wealth brings to mankind at large. It must be seen, then, that the complaint of the laborer that he is robbed of his earn inge is not true, at least to the extent be alleges, for be Is made a partaker of this wealth in many reipeots, ad, beside, it will be preserved for tbe benefit of his children. The only real complaint he oan make is that he is not permitted to control it; but, as he has shown himself incapable of keeping it, the control is plaoad in more careful nanas. When a man accumulates wealth he no less accumulates within himself qualities of equal indeed, we should say of muoh greater value. These are persistence, patienoe, fore sight, and self-denial, whioh contribute in a marked degree to the enlargement of the. mind, and hence suoh must, in the nature of tbe case, be superior to the laboring man who with health and strength consumes all be earns. Of oouree we refer to the oondition of things in this conntry, where no real obstacles prevent development; and we may say, also, that all similar discussions should refer to so ciety on this continent, for their application to European sooiety is eut of place, sinoe oarDano institutions which should bave died out dur ing the last century really do oppose and op press the laboring classes. The first thing which the laboring man is to consider is whether it is not practicable for him also to beoome a capitalist by saving a part of his earnings, and, as a consequence, acnuire an enlareed mind, by whioh he will be able to abcumulate still more, for saving to any extent is an intellectual achievement. To spend tbe whole of one's wages at theolose of each week requires no skill, but the saving even of a small portion aotually brings out some h'gh quality of the mind, and this will be a basis, aud the only one porsible, by whleh ultimate profperity is to be secured. Nor is he to compare his poor attempts with others, ex oept to oonslder that the ability to acquire large sums bad a beginning as humble as his own, nd that it was the natural outgrowth of years of self-denial and wise management. If he should suspeot that auoh a power is a heredi tary gift, he may as well suspeot that he him self bss this hereditary gift, lying unde veloped; or, it will not be less important to fcnow that he oan transmit suoh powers to his children, for it is more glorious to be the first than the last of a family. Thus, in whatever light we consider the subjeot, it will t iea that the only method by which" the "laborer can be relieved from what he calls' tbe pressure of capital, but which really Is the weight of hi. inn.ttivH vir. la to aouuire the habit of savins, whether in a cooperative or in an iadi- vidnal capacity, nai ne may piaow uimiwu ii ulria of einltal and aeoure the advan tages which it brings, more or leu; aud thus be will correspond o society, wuiuu, mo inaUta nnnn the lnnnni nlation of a re u.i.-, ,j - r - serve to be drawn upon in times of neoesslty. Jo Jrlorc Indian Xrcai !. From th A". '. rim A new point of departure in our policy re garding the Indians has now been taken. By the Senate's recession from its amendments making appropriations under the new trea ties, a poiicy Is as good as agreed upon for overthrowing the old treaty system. Treaty T the very word almost Implies the mutual agreement of two sovereign powers; and, nntil we are agreed that there exists a power besides onr own Government withta onr domains, the very word nsed of Iitdiau negotiations is a misnomer. Bnt we have not hitherto been content to use a wrong name; we bave also beeu doing a vicious and pernicious thing. We have been making treaties with the Indians for years, as it they were hostile sovereigns. The Senate has sometimes discussed these treaties, and passed them in the same way as treaties with England or France that is to say, not in its legislative, but in itsexeoutive or treaty-making capacity. Until the other day, hardly a voiue was raised against this monstrous incongruity, except by the army, who have always, from their pecnliar habits of thought and cotton, Seen it and deplored it. Nay, we doubt now whether our people in general have noted the grand, fundamental legislative error we have been guilty of an error of that sort whioh lies at the root of all politioal action. This is the legal view of the old treaty system; Its moral aepeot, or that of expediency, is still more strikingly, though not more Intrinsically, awry. Under the pre tense of treaties, jobs, swindles, aud trusk-and-dicker of all sorts have been rushed through the Senate often when but a hand ful of members were present and the Indian ring controlled everything to its purposes. When these wholesale swindles had been per petrated and sometimes, it is alleged, an Indian tribe had not half the number of mem bers a Senate treaty wonld take for granted it had equal trouble arose on the Plains. A crew of sharks, sharpers, runners, traders, sutlers, swindlers, and Indian agents gene rally, took care to let as little as possible of the worth of any money Bet apart to the use of tbe Indians reach them. Thence oame oomplaint, protest, anger, recrimination, re venge, plunder, and war. Suoh was the treaty system hitherto flour ishing. It is cheering te know from Mr. Dawes, who presented to the House the con ference report on the Appropriation bill, that "probably not another Indian treaty would ne maae."
