The Tuscaloosa Monitor gives up the election

“JW Yesterday was the day appointed for the
: execution of the slave J arret, convicted at the
| last term of the Court-for an attempt at rape. Dur
: ing the day a pardon from the Executive arrived
; and was placed in the Sheriff's hands. Tills news
created intense excitement, and after several tu
| tnnltuous meetings, a crowd of hundreds, rcer,
‘ women and children repaired to the jail, and in
defiance of the remonstrances of the Sheriffs, broke
open the jail, hurried the prisoner to the woods
j ami hung lint.
At this moment of excitement it would be folly
; to attempt to write homilies on the princ’ples of
. law, morality and public order so ruthlessly violat
j ed in flits unhappy proceeding.
When hot blood and passion have become cool
ed down to a sense of reason, weslta'] endeavor to
give a correct history of the affair, with such com
mentaries as are justified by tho facts. Mean
time, so strong were the public sympathies against
the prisoner, that the Sheriff - and other civil au
! thorities were utterly powerless to perform their
| duties.
NEW YORK WHIG POLITICS.
The treaty between the “higher law” wing of
| the whig party, represented by Seward, Weed,
j abolition and Cos., and the “Silver Greys,” or con
| servitive National Whigs, represented by Fill
j more and Cos., has been completed. Like all the
j compromise ? that are ever made in this country,
| where the interests of the South are concerned, it
■ has resulted in giving up the rights of the South.
, The Silver Greys who maintained (rather feebly
! to be sure) that the South has some rights, have
I hv this treaty surrendered to the dominant and
i• 4 •
more violent faction of the “Woolly heads.” And
now where is the South left by this compromise ?
j Where she always has been by every preceding
i one—in the lurch—sacrificed, cut oft - front sytnpa
\ thy and even the promise of support—her institu
tions, her rights and liberties opened to renewed
• assault, through all the channels of the press, the
j forum, the pulpit and the halls of Congress which
j have iierefo c ore been the media of agitation.—
Wlrle these are facU, the South is ieft by these
. “high-contracting powers” to studi satisfaction as
° 1 j
j they fieri ve from a declaration in general terms, j
: that the New York whig party thus united, will
j respect the constitution and the laws ! dust to
think of the “ higher law” men making such a
declaration ? They have shown what they mean
1 by respect for the constitution, when they have
asserted that the law of abolition consciences is
paramount to the law- of tho constitution. The
Independent Press of New York, regard this trea
; tv as a disgraceful surrender of the National whigs
I or Fillmorines to the abolition section of the party.
The New York Dav Book, an independent pa
per in polities, and Southern in its feedings, says :
“ UMON AND HARMONY IN THE WIHO PARTY.
, Tho woolly heads have succeeded al last in bringing
1 about their long desired union and hormouy in the whig
j party—or in other words have coaxed the silver grays to
let them harness their wheel horses again to the old
Weed coach & put on Seward leaders & woolly head dri
vers. The truth is, men sometimes, &. indeed quite often,
get taken in with their own ideas. .The silver grays have
sung compromise so long and become so much absorbed
with the one idea, that they are at last caught by it and
j have surrendered to the woolly heads, under the pretense
|of ‘‘compromise,’’just at the time when they had their
’ enemies under their feet.
During all our experience in the world and in politics,
we do not remember of ever having heard apolitical
question discussed with more certain prospects of bring
ing all the sensible portion of the community over to one
way of thinking than has been the question of slavery
and the fugitive slave law. In open, frank, energetic
discussion, the abolitionists and woolly heads lose ground
! as rapidly a 3 their opponent could expect or desire.—
, The cogs in their great wheel break off one after another,
like cobs, even’ time they turn it: and now, seeing that
they are no longer able to move the machinery, they call
out for “compromise,” which the silver grays blindly
and foolishly catch at and go over body and soul to tho
woody heads. There never was a coming event more
plainly foreshadowed then that, the woolly heads would
: knock under. Their underpinning was all gone and they
knew it. The material for further operations was want*
; ing, and it was impossible for them to go on under the
flag,they had hoisted.”-— X. Y. Day Book.
’ Ihe following is an cxiract from an article in
the ’ V. Herald on the subject, under the cap
on •’ ‘-'Bargain between the Seward Whigs
and the Silver Grays—Surrender of the latter.”
[From the New York Herald.]
“The policy of the abolition Whies was this: They
wanted a union—they wished the disjointed factions of
the Whig party re-united, as much, ftnd more, than the
Filver grays did: for, although they may atlempt to des
pise the Silver Gray force in the legislature, where they
did not particularly need it, they would be glad to l ave
it on the day of election, so as to present a united front to
the disjointed democracy. But, in order to effect such a
union, they wanted the Silver greys to abandou their
platform—to consent ton union, without any reference to
the compromise measures of last Congress, which consti
tute the great question of the day, so that they might be
able, when the proper time arrived, to renew the slavery
1 agitation, and recommence the war against he South,
i by proposing a repeal of the Fugitive slave hw, or such
i a modification of its provisions as would render it nnga
| lory to s!i intents and purposes.
j This was the kind of union which the abolition Seward
. Whigs wished to form with tlic Silver Grays, and one
j which the latter could never enter into without a sacrifice
! of honor and principle. The compromise measures were
! intended by their authors as a final settlement of the
slavery question, on the basis of the Constitution. They
were accepted as such by the patriotic ot all parties,
throughout the land ; and any attempt to repeal any one
of them, especially the Fugitive slave law, would rekin
dle ‘he fiamo of excitement which burred so fiercely a
vear ago, and threatened to consume the government and
the republic. Such, however, is the union, or bargain,
which the Silver Gray league entered into with the Se
ward abolition wing. A more dishonorable and
disgraceful surrender of principle we never heard
i of. The Silver Grays abandoned the manly pht
j form which they laid out for themselves, threw aside
j their principles, and caved in, body and soul, to the cne-
I miesoflhe Constitution —for enemies to tba* sacred in
strument the Seward Whigs are, notwithstan ‘ g all the
twaddle to the contrary. Our readers will mark that
portion of the joint call for a convention which is intend
ed to refer to the Fugitive slave law. It says “that the
rights of citizens as voters are equally undeniable to dis
cuss. with the full and mutual regard for the rights and
interests of all parts of the confederacy, (which is as ne
cessary now to maintain, aa it was indispensable to a
cbieve the blessed union of these States,) Oie expedien
cy of such laws, and the propriety of any of their provi
sions, and to seek by constitutional means their repeal or
modification.” Could anything be more plain than this?
j. not this a d-laratic*n~a point Wank assertion-that
“THK UNION* OF fR & STATKS AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.”
the abolition Whigs of New York intend to re-open the
slavery agitation, and move for a repeal of the Fugitive
slave law ? If it is not, then we do not understand the
English language. And yet the Silver Grays submitted
to it—disgracefully surrendered themselves.”
Here is another voice speaking trumpet-toDcued
to the South to be united. When will the South
learn the wisdom to repudiate all Northern politi
cal alliances, and cease to be the dupes and cat
paws of Northern politicAus?
The New York Tribune, one of the most,
rabid abolition papers in the oountry, felicitates
itself and readers upon the result—-thus test'fying
the opinion of the abolitionists themselves that they

“The platform which we publish above must commend
itself for its wisdom and justice to all whigs, no matter
how widely they may have differed with regard to tho

permanent measures, adherence to which makes tta
Whigs. It then proclaims inflexible hostility to Siavery
Extension and loyalty to the Constitution and Union;
and asserts the duty of obey'r.g every law of the country
; as well as the rights of each citizen to discuss a’l laws,
j and seek the modification or repeal of such as do not

declares the confidence of the party In the National and

CUBA.
We publish to-day some of the latest accounts
of the progress of the Revolution in Cuba. It is j
strange that while the minutest details are given
of the risings of the patriots in various parts of the :
Island, of uronunciamentos, declaration of inde- ;
pendence, addresses to the people and to the army,
of skirmishes and combats between the Patriots |
and troops, of movements of the Span'sh fleet and
army : yet that it is stoutly denied in some quar
ters that there is any revolution at all; and it is
asserted that the whole thing is a preconcerted fab
j ideation for the purpose of raising an excitement
as the basis of an expedition from this country.—
Tito leader will agree with us that so monstrous
and complicated a lie as this, could not have sur
vived so long, and that there is the strongest evi- ,
dence to show that the people of that Island have
at length made a strike for Independence. Wc ■

Dear Forsyth,
I came here some days ago and since I have
I been here have seen many gentlemen and
they all tell me that Southern Rights is ris- i
ing rapidly. In this district I think there
will be a decided majority for Bailey and I
think a majority for McDonald. An intelli
gent gentleman from Thomas and another
from Lowndes, say that Cobb made good
Southern Rights men of- several promi
nent Union men in Decatur.—Two thirds
of the visitors here are McDonald men and
in fine spirits. We have some very flatter
ing accounts from the up country, but
whether to be relied on cr not, I cannot say,
I expect to go to the mountains in a few davs
and will write you all the news when I have
been there long enough to learn any thing to
be. depended on. At the various watering
places above this, I shall probably see a pret
ty fair representation of the State. The few
Cobb men here so far as I have heard them
express themselves are not very sanguine.
Since writing the above I have seen the
Macon Messenger, which says we are beaten
horse fbot and dragoons in Alabama. Chap
is sometimes mistaken. I hope this is
one of the times. It may possibly be the
best for the South—the men who are wait-
I ingin South Carolina for co-operation will
j have to go with the crowd, and if she secedes
I it will do one of the two things, it gives us
some amendments to the Constitution or
builds up a Southern confederacy. I prefer the
amendments—but they must be such as will
secure us against future aggression. No one
expects indemnity for the past.

PROCLAMATIONS OF THE PATRIOTS.
The two following proclamations were is
sued on the 24th ultimo, by the patriots at
Guin t de Miranda, near Trinidad. They
breathe the spirit of courage and determina
tion.
TO THE ARMY.
Soldiers: The hour has arrived when this •
portion of the Island has resolved to break the
chains v hich bind it in slavery. Onr breth
ren of Puerto Principe, have preceded us in
the noble effort to achieve tho liberty of our
country, and brilliant success has crowned
their efforts.
The situation of the, Government is des
perate—without resources—without sympa
thy—without confidence in you.
Mftny of your fellow-citizens at Puerto
Principe have joined the ranks of the patriots.
The approaching arrival of the gallant and
beloved General Nareisco Lopez, seals the
downfall of the most oppressive and corrupt
government the world has ever suffered, —of
that remorseless government which dragged
you from your homes, in the flower of your
youth, to be the instruments of oppression of
your brethren in Cuba, under the banners of
that government which will reward you as it
has rewarded all who have sacrificed them
selves in America in her defence.
On the other hand, if you join us, and con
tribute to achieve the liberty of Cuba, we will
receive you as friends, —as brothers; we will
treat you as freemen, and repay your services
with money. Each soldier who enlists un
der our banner, shall receive twelve ounces
in gold and a tract of land; his daily stipend
until the country regains its tranquillity upon
the downfall of its tyrants, Bhall be five reals
per diem.
Soldiers choose between the two. In our
ranks you will be freemen, fighting for the
cause of humanity and progress : in the ranks
of our enemies, von lose the dignity of men,
and are regarded as brutes. If, ho waver, se

dueed by its promises, you persevere in giving
your aid to a Government that oppress and
degrades you, we shall await you in the field.

to shed the last drop of our blood in the holy
cause of Cuban independence.

On the Ith they pronounced, in the “paril
das of Gutiimoro and Gilbxnica. with the
small number of 250 patriots.
On tho sth, in concert with another party
from Holquin, they marched upon Tunas;
but in the night ono party mistook the other
and a melee took place, in which five were
killed in the obstinate battle and t wen tv
eight wounded, before they discovered their
sad error. Nevertheless they, as soon as they
saw it, combined, and set upon the company
of the Zaragoza Regiment in its barracks,
and, after a short resistance, in which there
were a few wounded, the Spanish troops
joined them in ihe cry of “Liberty !” Tho
Governor implored their lenity, ‘and tiiev
left him at liberty, only taking from him
his horse, sabre, pistols, and one thousand
dollars of the Government money. They
then marched upon the purtida of Sun Juan
de S uita Gruz, and on the Bth they found
themselves in Cascorro, with 380 cavalry and
200 infantry.
Theßth and 9th were passed in the organ
ization of four parlies under the command
of those patriots who had distinguished them
selves the most, at Las Tunas.
On tho 11th. three of these, set out—the
other remained i:t the mountain. That eom

j wards Santa Cruz, and shortly before reaeh
j ing the river Najara he was informed that 4
: companies of the, regiment of Cantabria, com-
S manded by Col. Conti, were marching in the
j same direction, but as the river was swollen
: they were occupied in making raft, in orti. rto
pass over it. The patriots allowed the Col
onel and first company to pass and when the
second was on the wharf they fell upon them
anil threw them into complete confusion.
Tho result was, that they took Colony lCon-
I ti, six officers and fifty-six men prisoners; I
i they saw thirty-six dead,without counting the !
j wounded; they captured several materials of /
j war anti guns. In this most brilliant .affair tin- j

what authority these orders were transmitted
here, we have not been able, to ascertain: but
owing to the quick movements of the gentle
men destined for Cuba, or from some other
cause, no-arrests were made. It is not to be

and as a proof that this is the country where
distinguished European artists will always

may mention the extraordinary fact that, at

(KrWe are informed, on good author
ity that the Captain-General of Cuba,
Concha, recently told one of our naval
officers that if it was necessary to secure
the Spanish authority in Cuba,|theslaves
would be ’liberated and armed against
the patroits, and the guns of Moro
Castle would be turned on Havana.
If that be the intention of the Spanish
authorities, it would not only justify,
but require not only the Southern States,
but the American governmant to interpose
immediately. For a massacre of the
whites, as at St. Domingo, could not
be tolerated on principles either of hu
manity or justice by the federal govern
ment, or the Southern States.
It is said that French vessels of war
are at Cuba, and the officers manifest
unfriendly feelings towards Amer
ican officers. Perhaps this is becuse
there are colored officers among the
French. We would not be surprised
that French and English intervention
were attempted—and that it wcffild lead
to a more com.prehensive struggle than
the mere liLeration of Cuba. — [ Southern

The Case of Sims. —A friend writes
to us from Monroe county, desiring
information in regard to a report in
circulation in that section, that the fugi
tive recently remanded from Boston to
his owner in this city, did not cost Dr.
Potter a cent for his recovery! We
have made special inquiry into the mat
ter, and from the most reliable authori
ty, we find his bill of costs, paid from
his own packet, to amount to $1,500!
Dr. Potter did indeed get his negro,
but had to buy him again, and gave a
most exorbitant price at that! The city
of Boston paid 100 policemen $3 per day
for nine days, among, we suppose, other
incidental expense making the respec
table sum of Jive thousand one hundred
dollars , which t is negro cost his owner
and the city ofBoston! Added to this,
the slave has been completely ruined
by the excursion, for he is at the pres
ent time in jail. If Southern owners of
slaves have to sell two to pay expense
in recovering one, ought we not to have
unlimited confidence(!!!) in the faith
and “law abiding” people of the North!”
And is not this a “glorious Union”
which can secure us the enjoyment of
so many privileges and rights! !

New York Free-soil and Sil
ver Grey Whigs, are engaged in mak
ing a compromise or adjustment, to pre

Nay more, it promises to be precisely
such a fraud as its great prototype

reserve the right of opposing the exten
tion of slavery andof repealing the Fugi
tive slave law.

morning to the other, during the warm

preserve it, is a matter of some impor
tance to house-keepers. The blanket,
so commonly used, is inefficient and
next to useless, for so soon as it be
comes wet, it rather assists than retards
the melting of Ice. The best preserva

Whilst it is not easy to imagine eVfctf
that Mr, Cobb will be elected Governor
of Georgia, it is not so bard, by the aid
of a not too exuberant fancy, to picture
some of the consequences of his elec
tion. If, according to the anticipation
of the Republican, certain signs of the
times “ conclusively show’, that Caro
lina’s resolution has been taken and
that she will go out of the Union,” ar and
if after the“ Helion upon Ossa”array ot
evidence going to show Mr. Cobb’s
denial of the right of peaceable seces
sion, the people of Georgia shall elect
him their chief executive magistrate, it
is not difficult to form some probable
conjecture ofthe consequences that mey
ensue. We have the assuiance of Mr.
Webster. Mr. Fillmore’s Secretary of
State, that “ the first step taken in the
programme of secession, which shall be
an actual infringement of the Constitu
tion or the laws, will be promptly met.”
What he means by ‘‘an actual infringe
ment of the constiiution or the laws” i
easily understood—secession, in his
view, would be such infringement.—
Peaceable secession would not be tdle
rated—“ to arms, to arms,” would re
soun .1 through the American capital, and
the first scene in the programme would
be, we imagine,
A Requisition upon Georgia!—Whe
ther the order for troops would be direct
ed to “our trusty and well beloved Cobb’
or simply to “his excellency the Gov.
and commander-in-Chief,” &c. is of no
moment. We take it for granted that
an order would come, and judging Mr.
Cobb by the same rule that we would
apply to any other man who regards
the obligation of an official oath, we as
sume, from his declared opinions and
his refusal to let the people know what
course he would pursue in such a con
juncture that he would obey. We have
seen no reason tor saying that he would
“ take coursel ofthe people by calling
them together in Convention, as thu
Savannah Republican suggests; or that
he would “at once take the sense of the
people of Georgia by a call ofthe Leg
islature,” as believed by the Southern
Recorder. We have the high authority
of Mr. Cobb himself for saying “where
constitutions end revolutions b gin”
—and have been assured that revolution
is not a peaceable right. The second
scene then, as we suppose, would be
the call lor volunteers(!!)or, failing in
that, an
Order for a Draft!—Now, let any
man in his senses picture to himself the
drafting of the militia of Georgia for a
military descent upon the people ofthe
sovereign State ot South Garolina—a
