This concession wa* made to the Catalans, or old Spaniards, who, it is said were hostile to tbe edict, and determined to resist it. even by force if necessity. A rumor prevailed, that tbe authorities had re solvml to open the Ilcyal University to Black Stu i dent*. Indeed, it was the general impression that tho Captain General woa an abolitionist, and that having been appointed at the instance of Great Britain, lie wn acting in concert with that gov ernment'and carrying out its wishes for the final extfttetion of slavery on the Island. There was eoMequnitly, much unensinrsH among landed pro prietor* nnd owners of slaves, and in fact among all classes of sooiety. It was the opinion of intelligent Americans that an invasion, to lie successful, must lie sup ported by at least 26.000 efficient soldiers They | *y, no reliance can he placed upon tho Ureoles, ; who would he afraid to take sides with either tmr , ty until they saw which would lie successful j Miould the present anti-slavery policy of the gov ernment be continued, the old Spaniards might he j induced to take part with the revolutionists, in I whkh event the overthrow of tho government j would be certain.

It was tt e general belief that the slaves amount ing to about 61)0.000, would .be emuuci.nted by tbe authorities, in case of a successful innuion. Iff this event, nnd with £O.OOO trained soldiers on hind and tho Spanish and French fleet* at sea. it waa hdlieved that it would ’require’ an enormous outlay ofblood and treasure to get and retain pos session of the Island.

Railroad Meeting. A meeting of the Directors of the North Ala bama and South Atlantic Railroad, designed to connect Griffin, Ga., with Decatur. Ala., was held in this placo on Monday last. A report of the sur vey of the route from ono point to the other was rend, with estimates of the cost of the work, from which it appear* that tho entire cost of building and equipping the road will average about $23,000 per mile. It was resolved to open immediately books of subscription for stock to build tho road from Gris tin as far as Carrollton, to which place the esti mates for building and equipage average SIB,OOO per mile. Commissioners were appointed for Griffin, New nan and Carrollton, to receive subscriptions, and the commissioners for Griffin were instructed to correspond with the citizens of Greenville and Meriwether county, to ascertain what assistance they would furnish towards building the road in oase the eompany (depart from the route as now surveyed, and runlby Hall's Bridge. The route by Hall's Bridge will add about six miles to the length of the road; but it is believed tlmt the raving h She way of Bridges and grading will at least compensate for tlie increase of distance if that route Should be taken. _ R. R. Cuyier, Esq , President of tho company will forward to the commissioners books of sub scription with the necessary instructions some time next week—when it is hoped that all t whi> feel witling to aid in the enterprise will promptly put down tlte amount of stuck they fee. disposed to take. When we take into consideration the character and ability of thoee who were must active in the meeting, and the earnestness with which they seem to take hold of tlie pr< ject. we arc bound to believe that the road will be built, nnd that speed ily, if tbe people along the route will show that they want it by liberal subscriptions. Ihe Board will meet again in Griffin, on the first Wednewfoy In (Irtnhnr tieit North Alabama ft South Atlantic Railroad.

Leaving wectioftal questions entirely out of view, there can be n* doubt of the necessity for a re-formation of parfHh throughout the country. Every year's hi of our national legislation but multiplier! proof of the increasing corruption of leading pMi , ticiano. Hardly a prominent measure has been pro posed in Congress for a number of years back, whicli has not had for it* object the consolidation of political power—the concentration of nn over whelming influence into the hands of greedy office holder* Every appliance of government is brought to bear upon political aggrandisement, rather than upon tbe great interests of the people at large. The question is not what will best promote the good of the whole country, but what will add prominence ond give increased “power to party. It hns become the settled opinion of intelligent ob servers, that the servants of ttio people are fast usurping the province of masters : that the allure ment* of office have greater weight in determining the course of u representative than the dictates of reason nnd conscience; that no man in office is abort price, neither is any man Übnv it The! people have borne with official corruption, until (at court) virtue has come to be looked upon us i he offspring of a silly sentimentality, an amusing theory for hardened and sclf-caleuhitiog practica bility to crack its jokes upon. The lobby influ ences. in fact, may be sa : d to outweigh any obli gation of duty to home-constituency, and tho hired minions of political stock jobbers dally and trifle with the integrity of an honorable representative, with the assurance of men who know the full val ue of the article they are sent to purchase. Os course there are exceptions. There are pure men in Congress, who if freed from the embarrassments of corrupt influences which surround them, would discharge their duties faithfully to the country and tho people. But with the best of motives they are powerless for good, and amazed at the magnitude of evil which pervades not only the halls of Congress hut every department of govern mcrit, they cease to struggle for an object which is ridiculed just in proportion to tho amount of practical good it is designed to accomplish. Politicians, then, are corrupt, gnd all their aims are of u corrupt and selfi h nature. Individual members of parties, the great mass of the people who unite in support of ono party or the other, us they favor or oppose certain established and so-called fundamental principles of govern ment, are honed. They take it for granted Hint men of intelligence and high political standing arc honest also. They hear them front the stump declaiming against this, that and tho other abuse of power by their political oppon nts; their indig nation is aroused as the orator portrays in glowing colors the vices that are stealing into the ranks of the enemy, and encroaching upon the rights nnd interests of the people. Then, the wiley speak- or, watching with eagle eye the effect of his dis course and gloating over the upheaving of angry passions uhich his falsehoods and nut-representa tions have wrought, adroitly turns thTsubjecfarid eulogises the purity and incorruptibility of that party which he represents. It is like pouring oil upon the troubled waters. Self-complaccncy sits upon the countenances of his auditory, and men wonder how it is possible to doubt the sincerity of so eloquent a speaker, or the truth’ of charges so holdly asserted. Surely *• Reform ”is needed, and from whence can it come but from the party which - claims tbe championship of the distinguished speaker ? He mutt be right, he must know wliat he asserts, because he ha* been sul-jec ed to the fiery ordeal, and of course has (wopderful man) come forth from the crucible pure a* gold seven times tried (and willing toj o tried again !) Thus men. honest them*-Ives, pin their faith to the judgment of other*, simply because they belieTe them honest too, and bra ruse it is easier to take for granted what others say than to investigate facts and form conclusions fur themselves. But the time has gone by (if indeed it ever was) when professed pol ticiane can be implicitly trurted.— The price of liberty is eternal vigil- ncc. v and upon the Individual voter depends the responsibil ity of perpetuating the institutions erected by our forefathers in their primitive parity. To ho that overy interest of freemen is prW-rly guarded in the administration of this govt Aiment, is a duty incumbent upon freemen tncmseltes. The people entrust certain interest*-to the keeping of public servants and it i* their province a lid duty to see that those interests are not negleciAd. nor tho in struments of their performance d;v uyted from the path of honor and virtue by the corrupting influ ences of selfish or party nggrundiziment. The very nature of our institutions requires the dele gation of certain trusts to hand* of agent*, hut to * people jealous of their rights ml liberties, the obligation of a vigilant scrutiny of tho acts of there agents it imperative. In our private capaci ty we do not impugn the honesty es a subordinate by an investigation of Ms business transactions.

Nutional conventions adopt sot resolution and platforms which commend themselves to tho judgment of a people who have no means of witnessing tbe se cret springs which impel the movements of (Dirty machinery To them all appears fair and open. J Agitation is settled : discord is ullnycd : tlie strain ing chords of disunion nre relaxed, and under the new dynasty, with its promises and plrdges, the lion and the lamb of anti-slavery and slavery are to lie down together, and the current of affairs is to flow gently on like the placid wafers of a summer stream. Alas! this is all external show. Beneath ell this apparent calmness the political cauldron is boiling and bubbling, l’arty pollution, selfish ambition, covetousnes-, pride prejudice and hate, are rolling and tumbling in the agitated mass, the sediments of evil, restrain | ed temporarily by the downw ird pressure of expe diency only to burst forth und deluge the country so soon as victory shall have been achieved and too confiding people once more deluded of their votes. Do not the people realise these facts 1 Were they not told that agitation should not again rear its angry head in Congress ? That the Union was safe, and.that one at least of the great na tionnl parties was a perfect unit—resolved on maintaining the peace, integrity and perpetuity of the government ! And have hey not the evi dence of an litter insincerity on the part of those who made these promi-es. in the recent unprece dented slavery agitation in Congress, nnd the en tire Wiint of harmony in the ranks of both nation al parties 1 ‘ Nay, is it not apparent that the \ un on of the States is in greater jeopardy this day ; than ever before ? In view of these facts, wc a-k, is there not an! ’ obvious necessity for the re-formation of parties'!) We do not mean that Southern Whigs shall go j to the Democratic party : nor do we desire that 1 the Democratic party shall come to the S. uthem Whigs. We have got good and true men at the South who are Whigs; they have deserved well of the country and of their party, and there is nei ther justice nor reason in* throwing them aside to, gratify the ambition of an opposition that seeks to make fallen Whigs a stepping-stone to promo tion. If Southern Democracy really desires to counteract the influence of a Northern party com posed of tho union of abolitionists, frecsoilcrs, whigs and democrats, they can only do so by con ceding to Southern leading Whigs equal political rights with themselves. They have no right to expect that the new organization will confer honor and power upon prominont members of their own party to the exclusion of all whom the Whigs have in time past delighted to honor. There must lie mutual concessions. We will not #</ to the Democrat ie party ; circumstances might in duce us to meet them. If we should yield ~ur pref | erencesas to men. it would only be in.’ouisidma tion of a like concession on the pirt of Southern j Democrats.
