yet, we bear folks say Lopez is no
soldier—no General, &c. Oh! shade of
Frederick of Prussia, methinks I hear
you asking of your old friend Keith,
** Fay, Marshal, did not that fellow Lo
pez serve with us a campaign or two in
Saxony and Silesia! Devilish like my
fight-and-run-retreat, and then fight and
run again, and then off—no one knows
where!”
It may be asked, was it possible for
LopeY*to advance so near Havana, un
less aided by the Creoles in force. I
think not, foi admitting a royal regiment
did go over to him, Lopez knows Span
ish character too well, and is too good
a soldier to trust himselfsonearHavana,
in the lace of superior forces, and on
the strength ofmen whose faith was but

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 5, 1851.
AGAIN WE ASK, IS IT NOT SO.’
We have said that the cause of Cuba, is the
cause of the Southern Rights party, and have giv
en our reasons for saying so. We say more, that
it is a cause which has the strong sympathy of the
patriotic of all part ies in the South, but we say at the
same time that it is not the cause of the immediate
followers and recognized interpreters of Mr. Fill
more's views. It is not the cause of those devoted
to the principles of a protective tariff system. I
is not the cause of those who are foremost in the
support of Mr. Cobb Do you ask for the proof?
You have a right to it. Read then the long lead
er in the Enquirer of this week under the head of
“ Cuban News.” Do ns the favor to read it. It
is too long to copy. Consider us as pausing until
you have done so.
Well,how much encouragement do you find,
even at this late day, for engaging, beyond a hollow
hearted sympathy, in the cause of Cuba. Like
Mr. Cobb on the right of secession, the article
thraehes up one side and then thrashes down the
other—would like to see Cuba free and annexed
to the United States, but “on the /subject of their
(the Cubans) disposition to help themselvrs. —
ire have but little information, and that little is
not of a very encouraging character ” is the lan
guage of the Enquirer of this week, with the fact
staring the world in the face, that Lopez lias land
ed in Cnba, with a small force, and has lost no
battle, even according to Spanish accounts; and
has also maintained his position with this small
force for a considerable length of time, at a point
where without the sympathy of the Cubans, he
would have been swallowed up almost in a day;—
this is the language of the Enquirer, when for
(teeks past, it has been every where, in this coun
try stated upon the best and every sort of authori
ty, coming from Havana, that the Spanish gov
ernment, though denying that it was anything
hut an “out-break” (a name also, and but a short
time since applied to the movement by the'En
quirer) were making e\ery preparation for war
that they could make, under the apprehension of
an attack from a powerful nation; this is its lan
guage too, when no other would, with so much
probability of success dampen the hope and ardor
of our gallant young men, who are ready to fight
their way out of the United States into Cuba to
relieve the oppressed, and to die if need be, in the
cause of liberty ; but who would scorn to tender
their aid to a people who do not hate their bondage
hut are wedded to their chains and incapable of
appreciating a patriot’s motive or the blessings of fre
dom ; this is its language also when the blood o*
Crittenden and his companions appeals in storm
borne tones across the sea for the powerful exer
tion of an avenger’s arm, and when too, withou
nid, without immediate aid from the South, severa
hundred of our brethren with. Lopez must soon
fall victims to the same brutal and murderous de
struction*;'if indeed it be true as the Enquirer
would have its readers infer, that no considerable
portions of the Cubans are willing to help them
selves or to sustain or sympathize with the brave
men who are meeting death face to face in a most
noble and daring effort to overturn the atrocious
.dominion of Spain in Cuba.
Wc give now's whole paragraph from the arti
cle in question, so that such of our readers as may
not have an opportunity of referring to the num
ber of the paper which contains it, may be admit
ted to a larger surface of the dimming curtain
which conceals only from the careless beholder,
the wishes, hopes and designs of a hand of politi
cians, finding ready defence in the columns of the
Enquirer. Here is the paragraph :
“We come now to the danger which
may and we sometimes fear will result to
our country from the movements in Cuba.—
We arc Americans, southern men, Georgians,
love the land of our birth, reverence its polit
ical institutions, and cherish for its peace and
prosperity a hope, a regard which almost a
mounts to enthusiasm. The question then
will arise, as to the danger of involving our
country in a foreign war, and if this should
he the case, what may he. the extent of such
a. conflict, with whom may it be waged, and
what may he its effects on the destinies of Cuba
as well its this country? This is a fearful
matter to contemplate, and should he looked
to bv our rulers with a firmness and caution,
with a prudence, and at the same time with a
determination commensurate with the magni
tude of the. interests involved.”
The first sentence is designed to answer the
purpose of open advice, which at this, time it might
not he politic to give, to stand away from these
“ movements in Cuba,” that there is ‘‘danger” in
them—danger to the Fillmore organization—dan
ger that Southern feelings will prevail in Southern
hearts, and quench the prejudices upon which
Cobb who betrayed the South, and Fillmore who
never deserted the North, expect to ride into
power. ‘live last sentence explains what is to he
the position of “our rulers ,” the Fillmore and
Cobb coalition ; and the camp followers arc told,
that to remain in a line with this great coalition,
they must look upon this Cuban movement “as a
fearful matter to contemplate.”
But lest in the breast of s une, the question
might ;irise, to what country do they belong who,
at a time like this, and in a land like this, hold such
language ? the Enquirer says in the same para
graph : We are Americans—southern men. Geor
gians, lore the land of our birth, reverence its
l*olitical institutions, and cherish for its peace
and prosperity a hope and a regard, which almost
ftke italics are ours) amounts to enthusiasm.
01 ye people of Georgia and of the South, who
may have been misled by appearances, which are
often deceitful: though it may seem to be contra
dicted by what go before it, and what comes af
ter it, by the strongest manifestations for more
than a year past, come and read this declaration
of the Columbus Enquirer, that its editors are
Georgians, love the land of their birth, &e., &c.
avd cherish for its peace and prosperity, a hope
and regard almost (not quite) amounting to en
thusiasm.
The Enquirer proceeding further, aidingthe
cause of Cuba by holding up to our vision a
picture of blood, war, sectional struggle, dis
solution &c..to grow out of the movements
in Cuba says “our thoughts have been turned
to this aspect ot the matter bv having seen it
some where staled in a neighboring print,
t isit ‘the cause of Cuba is the cause of the
Southern Rights party,”’ and asks “is the
cause of a people struggling for freedom to
be mixed up with the party conflicts of the
South? We answer that this will rttst alto
gether with the Enquirer and those who
align themselves with it. “The cause of Cu
ba is the cause of the Southern Rights party.”
How then are conflicts to arise out of this in
the South, unless the Union party, should
take ground against the cause of Cuba?
Let the Enquirer and its friends declare
that “the cause of Cuba is the cause of the
Union party,” and maintain it as we shall
do, and the possibility of a conflict will be
excluded.
A NEW LIGHT.
In these days of degeneracy, when mel
ancholy evidences of an intellectual drough
are thickly clustering around us, it is gratify,
ing and refeshing to meet with such as tlie
following:
“Reserved Rights.— I The argument of
the disunionists that the right of secession,
nGt being one of the rights prohibited to the
States bv the constitution, is, therefore, one
of the reserved rights of the States, is a beg
ging of the question in dispute. They should
first show* that there is such a right as the
right to violate compacts. If such a right ex
ists—then, as it is not to be found among
those delegated by the constitution to tin*
Federal Government or prohibited by it to the
States, it may with so me plausibility, be
claimed as reserved to the States respective
ly. Otherwise, the argument amounts to
nothing.”—Lfl Grange Reporter.
Wonderful discovery! What an immor
tality of renown, can this be secured by a
single dash of the pen! Os course, Daniel
Webster, Howell Cobb and the entire Con
stitutional union crew, already have paid thei r
court to the author. Under such circumstan
ces of conscious renown and accompanying
splendor, vve greatly fear, that our feeble tri”
bute will pass unnoticed and disregarded.—
Feeling that some testimony of our satisfac
tion and gratitude for the inimitable produc
tion, should go up to the editor from this ci
ty, a gentleman, the other day, requested us
to address a note, to the author, to inform
him of the. state of public feeling, and ascer
tain at what time, a committee of gentlemen
could set up with him. But seriously. Wha
is the argument which the Reporter charges
us with using? It is this, “the right of se
cession, not being one of the rights prohibit
ed to the States by the. constitution, is there
fore one of the reserved rights of the States,”
This he considers illogical and denominates a
“begging of the question in dispute.” The
arguments as it stands above, is an incomplete
syllogism, but it obviously assumes a ma
jor proposition. Unfortunately for the Re
porter, the Constitution provides us with this
premise. In the amendments to the constitu
tion, Article 10th, we find the following. “The
powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respectively
or to the people. Thisbeing our major propo
sition, the next step is to prove that the right
claimed is not one of the delegated or prohib
ted powers; this being established, the con
clusion is self-evident, that it is reserved to
the States or the people. Now with what pro
priety can this he called a “ begging of the
question.” That is a logical fallacy, employed
w hen one in establishing a proposition, uses
the same proposition in a different form, or
when the proof and the thing to be. proved
arc substantially the same. Now vve. assert
that the right of secession is among the mass
of undeletrated powers which each State, by
virtue of its sovereignty, retains and wields.
In proof of tliis position, vve adduce the fact
of its recognition by several States in the Un
ion, the actual practice of our own State on
the principle upon which the doctrine of se
cession rests, and the constitution itself. If
these arguments arc unsatisfactory, they do
not “beg the question.” But the Reporter
says “wc should first show that there is such
a right as the. right to violate compacts,” A
pretty fellow to take us to task for our logic,
and in the next breath, employ the very fid
acy which lie charged us with using. Regard
ing, very justly, the Constitution in the light
of a compact, he gratuitously assumes that
secession is a violation of that compact, that
is,it is unconstitutional,the very question in dis
pute: You had better fall back, Mr. Report
er, upon Mr. Cobb's position, that he cannot
place his finger on the article in the consti
tution, which recognizes the rigth of seces
sion; better take the position to which this doc
trine necessarily leads, that the constitution
is a bill of rights of the States, and not a
commission to an agent to exercise certain
specifically named powers. Stand up by the
side of your candidate, and proclaim that your
State is a vassal to the general government,
that, no matter liovv great the oppression, how
mighty the grievance, the only remedy for
both is in the exercise of a right which your
slave has to throw off your authority or your
horse, to refuse obedience to the rein. Wc
commend our cotemporary to a study of the
constitution and a careful review of the rudi
ments of logic.
To the Country Friends of Cuba. — We
deem it our duty to renew the caution which
we have already published, to young men in
other States, and in the country, who desire
to emigrate to Cnba, with a view to take
part in the struggle for the Independence of
that island, against coming to this city with
out adequate means to bear all expenses.—
There are, we understand, little or no moans
to aid them. New Orleans has already done
a great deal, hut there is no part es the South
west which is really less able to subscribe
funds for any purpose than our city. Those
who come here for help to get to Cuba, are
destined to be. disappointed. We desire to pre
vent such disappointment, by this and other
similar notices we have published.— [Delta.
Moke Volunteers for Cuba. —A letter
in the Savannah Morning News of Friday,
dated Jacksonville, Florida, Aug. 25. states,
that 500, men composing the Florida Regi
ment, were to have embarked for Cuba a
couple days front that date. The writer un
derstands that they are to be commanded by
Col. Henry Titus, who bore a distinguished
part in the Cardenas expedition. The Lieut

CUBAN MEETING.
On Saturday evening, agreeable to notice, a
large and respectable number of citizens assembled
in Temperance Ilall for the purpose of expressing
their sympathies in behalf of the Cuban Patriots.
When on motion of Col. Wilkins, Col. John Quinn_
and John Lloyd, Esq., were requested to as act
Presidents and P. A. Clayton, Esq. as Secretary.
Col. Quinn explained the object of the meeting
nd introduced B. K. Harrison, Esq., who in an
eloquent speech, showed the many causes which
drove the Patriots of Cuba to strike for Indepe n
deuce.
Mr. Crawford was called for, came forward, and
in an able manner expressed his wish to see all na
tions free.
Mr. Alford of Alabama, in a short and stirring
speech, set forth the claims of the Cuban Patriots
upon all who loved the blessings of Freedom.
Mr. Wm F. Williams then came forward—it is
useless to describe the feelings expressed by the
audience, produced by this young gentleman—he
spoke nearly half an hour, every word breathing
the spirit of patriotism and a devotion to the holy
cause of liberty.
Mr ,J. Devon, Esq., arose and made a few prefa
tory remarks and offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That in the opinion of tliis meeting
the people have the right to assemble together and
express their sentiments upon any subject relative
to our country, or the conduct of any other nation
or people. It is “the liberty of speech” vve claim,
and such right we now use, by expressing out
opinions upon the subject of the Independence of
Cuba and her people who desire liberty and free
dom.
Resolved , That the Cubans who have bravely
and nobly made the effort to throw off the yoke
that oppresses them, have proved themselves
worthy of their natural rights and liberties. —
That they have otir warmest and most earnest
sympathies and hopes of success.
Resolved. That we concur in opinion with the
fathers of our country, when they declared, that
when the rights which the great Supreme gave to
man are no Unger secured to him or respected by
a government, the laws of nature and the dic
tates of patriotism demand as a duty and a right,
they owe to themselves and their posterity—that
they should burst the claims that bind them to it.
Resolved. That we send forth to the Spanish
authorities of Cuba our greatest indignation and
disgust, for their cold blooded massacre of our fel
low citizens without trial, and for the barbarities
perpetrated upon their lifeless bodies —conduct
which strikes every good heart with horror and
disgust.
Resolved, Tluit wc earnestly wish the best and
utmost success to the Patriots of Cuba and every
other people who fight for Liberty. Independence
and Equality. That they have rights superior to
all others implanted by our Maker in our nature—
that it is a cause wo dearly low, cherish and res
pect, no matter in what clime, on what soil or in
what nation it is asserted.
Resolved, That wc believe “ all men are horn
free and equal” and that riders have no other right
to governs ban such as is derived from the con
sent of the governed.
Resolved , Tiiat we pay the most profound hon
or and respect to the massacred Americans in
Cuba for not denying their country, and showing
before tyrants their American courage and brave
ry even unto death—that we deplore the loss of
such men, and that we heartily sympathize with
the families and friends of the more than noble'and
honored dead whose blood shall he a blot for all
time to come upon the nation whose tools of power
committed such an act.
Resolved , That we love, honor and respect our
country, our flag and our people on whatever soil
they be, and that We will, at all times, protect
them wherever they are assailed or insulted.
On motion of Dr. A. J. Robinson, the above
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
It was on motion resolved, That the proceedings
of this meeting he published in the papers of this
city. On motion the meeting adjourned.

Perry Ga., Aug. 27th 1851.
Mr. Editor — Dear Sir: —l have no doubt,
that you will be pleased to have some tidings
of the. effects of Mr. James Johnson's elo
quence in canvassing this congressional dis
trict. His fame as an orator, and a reasoner,
electrified his friends, and they anticipated the
argumentative powers of Cicero, as well as the
showy declamation of Hortcntius. His friends
met on Saturday evening, to prepare a dinner
worthy of the occasion of -.he visit of their dis
tinguished candidate, and were so much elec
trified by the reflection of his burnished ar
mour, that they were unwilling to give a
dinner unless Mr. Johnson could have a vic
tim to slaughter in discussion. The invitation,
was given “the bushwhackers” or little
“greys,” to meet them in debate, with the
same triumphant air, that Hercules might
have invited a Liliputian to single combat.
On Monday night a solitary drum poured
forth its mellifluous strains ‘the livelong
night “in music too sweet to last.” At
dawn, its drowsy melody was aroused by the
shrill notes of a bellowsed, fife with the admi
rable bass accompaniment of the braying of a
“Jack.” Snell military demonstration , fore
shadowed, a tremendous gathering of the.
people. The Union men, excited to the high
est pitch, came to see the entire demo
lition of Southern Rights, whilst the South
ern Rights Party inferred that the Devil was
to pay in dog davs; and that they would come
out. and witness the extraordinary scene. At
11 o’clock the. speaking began. Col, How
ard of Crawford, led off in a speech of an
hour and a half, presenting the aggressions of
the north in the strongest iighf, its exorbi
tant exactions in the late adjustment, and the
folly and danger of the South in making con
cessions to fanaticism. He. compared the two
candidates for Governor, and i am confident
that I never heard more perfect conviction
of unworthiness of the support of the people, ot
this State, than he established upon Hon How
ell Cobb. Mr.Johnson followed in a speech of
two hours. lie commenced by replying to
the charge, in the Times. He denied that he
ever stated that Congress h >cl the power to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,
that he had declared that- it had the power to
legislate upon slavery in tlm District, hut it
was for its protection. lie admitted the con
stitutionality of the Wilmot Proviso, under
the circumstances which Mr Polk signed the
Oregon Bill, —But said nothing of his protest
ing against the principle, or in the language
of Mr. Toombs, “masked buttery speech.”
“Mr. Polk placed his approval solely up..n
its being north of the Missouri Compromise
Lino.” He maintained the existence of the
Mexican Laws, affirming that Spanish law
existed in Florida and that French law was
in force in Lousirna, occupying fully the
grounds taken by Mr. Stephens in justifying
his vote with the abolitionists, in defeating
the Clayton Compromise. Yet Mr. Stephens
says he was triumphantly sustained for his
opposition to the Clayton Compromise, and
expects to don Judge Berrien’s senatorial
robes, as his reward. How will they tit him?
About like Jack Downings description of Mr.
Van Buren in General Jacksons uniform—
that the opaulctts were half way between his
shoulders and his elbows—and that the coat
was reelhev too long waisted. Yet the S u h
ern Rights party are condemned for opposing
measures, that the abolitionists opposed.
That he went forth for the purpose of
selecting a home in Missouri, where lie
could get land cheap, as “ he had seven
sons and one daughter, and a fair pros
pect for more : as he thanked God that
that we are all healthy.” That he did
not see Tom Benton, and if he had seen
him, and conversed with him, that the
only inference would be with his oppo
nents, that he was advised hy Benton to
come home and fight the battles of free
dom in Georgia. That Mr. Forsyth’s
father was the intimate friend and polit
ical associate of Mr. Benton, and what
contamination did he suffer! That the
Editor ot the Times, from his own ad
mission, was a higher law man, knew
no allegiance to any laws but the laws
of God. He gave you bringer. He pur
sued the Cobb stereotyped, beat* n track
in reply, and whenever argument failed,
(which wasevery few minutes,) he reach
ed a climax by a thrust at South Caro
lina, —I think the Constitutional Glori
ous Union Party if they possess a parti
cle of gratitude, should meet in Conven
tion m October and return thanks to
South Carolina “for raising a row,” and
thereby furnishing them with all their
ammunition for the present canvass.—
Mr. Johnson’s speech was to be a reply
to Howard, but it was about as near a
reply to the speech of the latter, as it is’
to Professor Agassiz’ theory of the Nat
ural History of Man. Howard was al
lowed half an hour to reply in conclu
sion. And I never saw the feathers of
our opponents fly as they did under the
speaker’s battle-axe. The color of the
faces of our opponents were perpetual
ly changing, I listened fora call tor co
logne, camphor, or asafoetida—They
supposed the spirit of our crowd was
broken, but they soon discovered their
error by the shouts of Huzza for How
ard — and the deafening applause which
his efforts received. We partook of their
barbecue—digested it well, and are now
making a happy political assimilation
of it. *

EXPRESSLY FOR THE TIMES,
Macon, 6 o’clock, p. m. /
Sept. Ist, ’sl. (
By the schooner Merchant arrived from Ha
vana this morning, which place slie left on 23d
ult. Wo learn that Gen. Lopez lias been success
ful in every engagement with the Spanish troops.
In a battle on the ITtli inst., Gen. Enna Com
mander-in-chief of the Spanish army was killed
wl oith severatlir officers, and a large number of
men. Lopez 1500 to 2000 stroitg, ami was re
ceiving re-inforcements daily, and was marching
towards Havana. Gen. Enna was buried with
great pomp in Havana on the 20tli Aug. Great
excitement and much apprehension. There were
only 700 troops in Havana.
The following dispatch was received
last evening about 61 o’clock. The
steamer Cherokee, which brought the
information was expected at New Or
leans this morning—we have looked for
her arrival for news from Cuba —it has
come—it lias the semblance of truth
—but we do not believe it. We can
not reconcile it to our minds to believe
that, men, who could be guilty of such
barbarities as attended the execution of
Col. Crittenden and his party, could
overcome, in fair fight the companions
in arms of those men—it is impossible.
These Americans are made of sterner
stuff than to be so conquered, and by
such material. God grant it may be
nothing more than atrickofthe Spanish
“Concha,” it is one, worthy of the race.
Montgomery, 6 o'clock, P. M )
Sept. 4th, 1851. )
Despatch from Now Orleans announcing the
arrival of the Cherokee this morning, says the
revolutionary movement in Cuba lues failed, ail
who went out on the Pampero have been Killed
or captured. Lopez was arrested and taken to
San Cristobal on 29th August and conveyed to
Havana Sunday and publicly Garroted or executed
Monday morning. 155 prisoners, mostly Ameri
cans, taken, and are in the hands of the Govern
ment. The insurgents arc still in possession of
the Mountains near Principe. The Spanish Con
sul of New Orleans had arrived at Havana on the
Empire City and reported that lie would have
been Lynched if he had roma'nod in New Or
leans.
|p-e?"The Editor lias returned to his post,
after two weeks absence, invigorated in health
by a brief respite from labor and ready with re
newed energy to engage in the great contest
for the rights of the South. We seize the
first opportunity to urge our friends to vig
orious and courageous action. Banish dis
pondcncy from your minds—fight the battle
with all your energies; withhold no blow
where one can be stricken on the mis-named
party, which, professing to be for the “Con
stitutional. Union,” is suffering both the con
stitution and union to be trampled under foot
by un just and partial laws. If after you have
done your best, you are beaten, there will bo
no ground for self-reproach. But a battle is
never lost, until after it is fought. The brag
ging of the Cobbites is nothing, that is a
“part of their system.” No man knows what
amount of real patriotism and genuine South
ern feeling is held iu reserve, to turn the
scales ot the election in favor of the cause of
justice, truth and the [South. Five Thou
sand Patriotic Whigs, if they can he found,
ha v e the power to save Georgia from the
disgrace, and the South from the wound, of
electing as Governor, a man, who from the
beginning of the great sectional controversy
has struck all the blows, for himself and his
national aggrandizement, and not. one hon
est and hearty blow, for his State. We have
faith in the patriotism of the people. Thou
sands may be whedled by gambling politicians
like. Cobb, Toombs, and Stephens, hut there
are other thousands who cannot be blinded
to the selfishness and hypocrisy of the course
of these men, and the fearful consequences to
the South and to Union, involved in their suc
cess. But in victory or defeat, come what
will, let every friend of Georgia and the South
do his duty.
CUBA.
The disastrous telegraphic news published
in our last, is confirmed and is too true. The
gallant Lopez adds another to the long and
bloody list of those who have been sent to
the tomb, by the ferocious policy of Spanish
despotism. His brave but unfortunate band, is
dispersed, slaughtered or in chains. We are
yet without the full particulars of the defeat
and capture of Lopez. The telegraphic report
is, that, after a desperate battle in which 700
Spaniards were killed, the Patriots found
themselves without ammunition and food,
trnd after starving for 60 hours, were dispersed
and that Lopez was run down by blood
ho nnand captured by the bloodier-hounds
who represent the Spanish Monarchy in the
Island.
We shall lay all these heart-rending de
tails before our readers when they are re
ceived. It is not easy to speculate upon the
effects of the disaster—whether it will nip
the revolution in the bud, and rivet more firmly
the chains of Cuba, or will add fresh fuel to
the flame of liberty, will depend upon what
reception Lopez met with from the people
whoso battle he went to fight If they have
allowed him and his men to starve—held
back from his standard, refused him sympa
thy and aid, they are slaves, and not men fit
to wear the dignity and privileges of Freemen.
At this time, it is impossible to know the
truth. Falsehood has been freely propagat
ed on one side or the other, and with frightful
recklessness. Time will clear up the histo
ry (if this impressive tragedy, and enable men
to form an impartial judgment upon it.
JUDGE ANDREW'S LETTER.
The Ex-11onorable Garnett Andrews
has become the patent letter writer of this
submission epoch. We had seen much put
ting of his epistles in the submission papers,
but had never read one of them, until chance
threw a copy into our hands oil an idle day
while detained on our late journey home.
This was his letter of 23d July to a Burke
committee inviting him to a dinner at Davis’s
Spring.
If this one be a fair sample of the gentle
man’s power of argumentation, knowledge ot
the Constitution of his country and respect
for the opinions of men (just as good him
self) who differ with him, wc need go no fur
ther to pronounce judgment on him asamere
virulent and clap trap partisan. If lie suc
ceeds in notiiing else, he has succeeded in
showing that he is a Federalist in principle
and that lie only wore a mask, so long as lie
pretended to be a Democrat.
Judge Andrews starts out on the bold and
false hypothesis that the leading object o f
the Southern Rights Party is to destroy th e
Government by propagating disaffection to it.
The records of politics and the whole history
of the Southern Rights Party contradict the
assertion. This paper is considered as ultra
as any branch of the Southern Right party—
nay,it is held up as tlie standing scare-crow
to frighten timid men from a manly defence
of their rights into the ranks of submission.
Yet this paper has uniformly stood on the
ground that resistance to infractions of the
constitution was the true and only mode of
preserving the Union. We have urged over
and over again and without faltering, that the
destiny of the Constitution and the union
were onojthat their existences were indissolu
bly bound to get her; and that the men who as
sailed, and the men who refused to resist at
tacks upon the constitution, were equally the
enemies of the Union by whatsoever name
they might call themselves. The real foes of
the union are the abolitionists at the north, and
men like Judge Andrews, who employ their
talents to persuade their countrymen to sub
mit to violations of the Constitution and as
saults upon their rights under the Constitu
tion. If this is the doctrine of the “fire-eat
ing Times,” how immeasurably false is the,
charge against the inass of the Southern
Rights Party, that nominated Gov. McDon
ald and Gov Me D, himself! Judge Andrews
charges, that opposition to the. Wilmot Pro
viso, was a mere pretext with the Southern
Rights party for a demolition of the union
and that it was willing to put the existence of
the Government on that issue, so long as the
North insisted on the Proviso, but so soon as
tlie North yielded that, they changed the. is
sue and wished to overthrow the Government
because. “Congress rlicl not establish slavery
in New Mexico.” And to support this tissue
of pettifogging, he. quotes the following;
“The people of the South do not a.k of Congress to es
tablish the institution of slavery in any of the Territories
that may he acquired by the United Plates. They sim
ply require that the inhabitants of each Territory shall he
free to determine for themselves whether the institution
of slavery shall or shall not form a part of their social
system.” (Pee resolutions of Democratic Convention at
Milledgeville, Dec.’47 and ’48.)
There is not a Southern Rights man in
or out of South Carolina, who is not ready to
subscribe to the doctrine of this resolution.
No man of any party has ever demanded
the establishment of slavery in any State or
Territory by Congress. The Southern
Rights Party has only demanded that the
South should not he excluded. But the
South has been excluded from every foot of
it. watered though it was by Southern blood
and over-laid with Southern gold in its acqui
sition.
And now with this damning fact, staring
him in the face, Judge Andrews has the cool
ness to inform us that in the Compromise
acts, the doctrine of non-intervention is recog
nized, and that the “acquired territories are
free to determine for themselves whether
the institution of slavery shall or shall not
form a part of their social system.” And yet
Judge Andrews knows as well as wc do, that
the Compromise acts, in so declaring, and so
far as the South is concerned, declare a posi
tive lie. Because along with this declaration
there goes another to wit: that the Mexican
abolition law is of force in those territories;
and that declaration is as complete a barrier
to Southern emigration, as would be a Chi
nese wall, or a cordon of armies. That shive
ry is excluded from the common territories is.
an undeniable fact—that it was done by mans
and impediments is another fatst—for left
unrestricted, gold mines are of all places the
most attractive and profitable to slave labor.
These impediments must have been the result
either of force- or of fraud and chicane. They
arc the latter; and the Government of the
United States, has interposed them; and be
cause. it is only a fraud —because we arc only
cheated out of our rights and not deprived of
them ri el ami is; Judge Andrews thinks we
ought to be perfectly satisfied, and that every
body who is not, is a traitor and a villain de
serving of his patriotic reprobation. If these
submission gentry could only have a clear
perception of the scorn with which their mock
indignation against Southern Rights treason
is received; they would spare its effusion on
men who know they have been betrayed; and
who look upon such defenders of the “mask
ed battery” as Toombs, Cobb, Stephens and
Andrews as the men who have sold their
rights as citizens of a Sovereign Shite and
of the American Union, for a few paltry’ offi
ces in hand in expectancy.

Theatre, New-York, next season, having been

CUBAN MEETING
A large number of our citizens met this ev
ening (Sept. 5,) at Temperance Hall, to devise
means to prevent the transportation of the
155 American prisoners to the mines of
Spain for life.
On motion of Mr. Richard Hooper, Gen. P-
J. Semmes was call to the chair, alld P. A.
Clayton was requested to act as Secretary.
Capt. John Forsyth addressed the meeting
in his usual eloquent and impressive manner
in behalf of the unfortunate Lopez end the
153 prisoners, which was received with un
bonded applause by the audience, and ofleml
for the consideration of the meeting the lol
lovving resolutions.
Resolved. That this meeting has learned with
deep and heart felt regret of the disastrous catas
trophe which has overtaken the expedition winch
recently left our shores under Gen. Lopes,to take
part in the struggle for Cuban liberty.
Resolved, That while the ill-fated men. who
have fallen victims to the bloody ferocity of Span
ish policy, have but met the doom which they
full}’ anticipated in the event that the fortune ot
war should turn against them ; yet that this meet
ing in common with every true American he.nt,
revolts with disgust from the policy of a Govern
ment that knows no clemency to political oppo
nents, and whose whole political historical annals
arc written in blood. That true magnanimity and
sound policy alike dictated a free pardon of the
disarmed 5 1 prisoners who were barbarously mitt -
dered bv Spanish soldiers, and that their martyred
blood will become to Spain the seed of myriads of
enemies.
Resolved , That Gen. Nareisso Lopez has dis
played in life a daring courage and heroic patriot
ism, and died like a soldier and man, a sacrifice
of tyrant power, in a noble cause of popular lib
erty. . .
Resolved , That this meeting entertains the
liveliest sympathy for the condition of the 155
Americans, who have been condemned to trans
portation to old Spain, and it life of toil and chains
in the mines. That the Government of the U. S.
as the national guardian of its citizens wherever
found, whether under the folds ot its own flag, or
under the flag of liberty wherever it streams in the
cause of freedom, is hereby earnestly invoked to
interpose its arm, and to use every eftbrt proper
and justifiable by the laws of nations, in appeals to
the humanity of Spain, it it have any, and in re
monstrances reaching its sense ot responsibility to
tiie world for the rectitude of its actions, to rescue
our brave but unfortunate countrymen from the
felons doom of life-long labor and imprisonment to
which they have been sentenced.
Resolved, That the People of Cuba have a right
to be free, and that so long as they exhibit them
selves worthy of it, by manly efforts to win that
priceless boon, they will have the sympathies and
are entitled to the aid, of every American who
chooses to give it, to the same extent that this peo
ple were, from the European patriots who flocked
to our standard in the struggle of the Revolution.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the city papers, and that its
Chairman cause a copy of them to be forwarded
to the American Secretary of State.
The Resolutions being seconded were adop
by a large majority; and after a few thrilling
remarks on the cause of Cuban Independence
by Mr. F. T. Snead, and a. few impressive
remarks, sympathising with the unfortunate
sufferers by Dr. J. B. B. Hoxev, the meet
ing adjourned.

Rowland Springs, Sept. 2, 1851.
Dear Forsyth: —Since I wrote you front the
Indian Springs, I have been rambling about to the
various places of amusement in this Alpine region.
From the Indian Springs I went direct to Catoosa,
the most prominent resort for the upper ten thou
sand. At that place I found about 500 persons
which was about one hundred more than they
could well accommodate, though they have a very
fine house besides numerous out buildings. The
house is very well kept and its owners kind and
courteous. Tiie most of the company there were
votaries of pleasure—but few invalids and still few
er politicians—among the latter our friend “ T-”
of the Enquirer, wiio was laboring very hard to
prove himself and friends inconsistent. He suc
ceeds very well. It is really amusing to see men
who voted for Clay and Fillmore finding fault with
Southern Rights men as not being good Stale
Rights men.
From Catoosa 1 went to Chattanooga where I
found a large party assembled to make an excur
sion by Steam boat, to the Nickajac-k Cave. The
scenery is said by persons who have been on the
Rhine and the Hudson, to be superior to either.—
It only wants a few old baronial castles to make it.
far superior to any thing in Europe. Our old
friend Col. Troup was one of the party. For
want of time we did not go very far in the cave.
1 believe it has never been fully explored. There
is a very pretty stream of clear water in it, on
which there was a small boat. The next day I
accompanied a party to the Look-Out Mountain
where we spent a delightful day amidst the fines*
scenery l ever saw. The next day l returned
and went to Gordon's Springs where 1 found
about 150 persons, many of them old friends. On
Saturday a good many of the visitors went over
to LaFayette (the county site) to hear Mr. Cobb.
Having heard him at Columbus, 1 did not go, but
learn that his speech was pretty much the same as
the one I heard. He was more liberal than at
Columbus, permitting any one to interrogate him.
Being asked if he would support Messrs. Toombs
ami Stephens, I learn he answered most unhesi
tatingly that ho would, although he labored hard
to prove he was a Democrat, and one of the strict
est of the sect. 110 knows that Toombs and Ste
phens can secure him the votes of the great ho iy
of the Vt’higs let him say what he will, hence his
anxiety on the right side of his old friends.
I think he has studied the rules of the House and
electioneering closer than he ever did the constitu
tion. Ho is a good presiding officer but judging
from his speeches he knows very little of the con
stitution.
I have seen no otic up here wluvwould give me
ony reliable information as to the result of the
election. Cobh’s friends brag high. I do not
know a county except Baker that they consider
as certain to go for McDonald. They set down
Early and Burke as doubtful, and I suppose Irwin.
I came from Gordon yesterday to this place and
found the crowd nearly till gone. It is one of the
pleasantest places. I have been at, but the house
is not so well kept as the one at Catoosa, and that
scarcely equal to Gordon’s.
I would advise ali lovers of quiet and good eat
ing who have husincr . in Chatanooga, to call on
my friend Col. Griffin, formerly of Gainesville.
1 sjioke of Col. Troup ; he is here and though
his health is not so good as when I last met him,
his intellect is as unclouded as ever. At the In
dian Springs, someone referred him to his letter
to the people of South Carolina in 183”, and asked
him, if he still entertained the same views. lie
said that he had nothing to add and nothing to
subtract from what he then said. Had the entire
South been composed of such men, our condition
would have beer, far better than it is. The first
aggression on our rights w ould have been resisted
at the threshold, and our rights respected. 11c
would have hail no compromises by which wc lost
all and the North gained all. He would never
compromise principle. I leave here to-morrow :
if I gather any news on the road I will write
again. RAMBLER.

execution; they desired him to open his batteries
upon the town, and when the guns were heard at
the execution, they wanted tin flag of the Albany

not imitated the example of our brave tars, beneath
whose coarse jackets beat the true American
hearts.
[From the Southern Press.]
COTTON —ITS POLITICAL AND COMMER
CIAL POWER.
| It has often been asserted, (and is
generally believed,) that the South is
incapable of withstanding the combined
influence of the North and England,
now organized against her. I venture
to make the assertion, that the Southern
and South-western States of America
have the power and means, if proper
ly organized, of controlling England
and the North together.
Ist. The great interest ofEngland, the
interest that supports her labor and her
throne, is based solely, entirely, and
exclusively , upon the cotton of the South.
It is an absolute want. She must have it,
at any price, at every sacrifice.
2d. This article is confined exclusive
ly (almost) to the continent of America,
and its locality the re is to a certain ter
ritory, beyond which it cannot extend,
from natural causes and the course of
legislation.
lid. No human invention, no human
effort, can supply its place. Stop at
once the cotton wheels of England, and
what would be the result? Where would
her mater,al expenses come from in the
meanwhi e?—her navy?—her immense
army! What would become of her pan
p r, her wealthy population? What do
her own journals say? Look at the de
bates in her Parliament!!! Read the
speeches of Cobden and Peel! And
vet we are told “England is perfectly
beyond our influence.” She could
not exist an hour without us. She has
identified herself irretrievably with this;
interest, and must sink or swim with it.
As to New York, Boston, and such
fry, they are but extensions of Liver
pool.
And yet with this enormous element
of power, (of almost absolute power,) in
the hands a of high-spirited and intelli
gent people, encroached upon and a
hused, and robbed on ail occasions,
nothing is one—no effort effectual in
character made. Once and a while.
“Some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.”*
When will the Southern people wake
up—leave off talking and committee
meeting, and bestir themselves for po
litical and commercial equality] Is
there none of the old fire left] ‘Where
are the spirits of Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, Virginia, the Carolinas. Loui
siana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and
old Kentucky] When will that heroism
which goes about “ talking ” of “doing”
bend to the heroism of every-day life, and
by individual labor and enterprise show
the worthiness ot their ancestry, and the
truth of all their assertions!
Why,you have the powerof Jove with
in your grasp. Like a young Sampson,
you can tear open the jaws of the British
lion. But recollect the fateot that giant,
and do not. be lulled into rest that your
locks of strength may be shorn from your
brow, and you delivered over to your
enemies. ALABAMA.
August 17. —I omitted giving von an account
of the Pizarro, and the inhuman treatment of the
pilot and engineer. The pilot in taking her into
Lahia Honda, happened to get her aground, at the
entrance ot the harbor. As soon ns she struck,
the commander, or the officer in command of the
troops, drew his sword and split the pilot's head
open atone blow, and report says, killed him in
stantly.
In endeavoring to t>aek the vessel off, some part
of the engine gave out. The engineer was imme
diately put under arrest, and it is believed here
that he has been shot. The ship is now a wreck,
as there came on a heavy blow, and report says
she has bilged. The AI mend ares is in, this morn

news from the seat of war. “ [j

Mayor of Mobile. Bragg resigned his
Judgeship before the election, but Lang
don held fast to the Mayoralty. The
old doctrine that Bragg is a good dog hut
hold-fast a better is entirley exploded
by the result; for Bragg is elected by a
majority of 1851, while hold-last is ‘no

THE MURDERED PATRIOTS.
A nation mourns ye gallant men—mourns y,, t
Untimely end,
And the bitter wail of woe is heard from moth,.,
wife and friend—
One mighty cry for vengeance rings throughout
the stricken land,
For vengeance on the murderers of Crittenden’
brave bond !
Oh, Cuba! isle of beauty, upon thy tyrant-trodden
sod,
Was poured that blood thht Calls aloud upon the
wrath of God,
For every drop thy soil drUhk Up, tell thousand
should be shed.
Were Spanish blood an offering fit to Ovett go th e
noble dead!
Oh! what ad-ed of martyrdom, tfle set ti tig *ti S
shone on—
That lent his beams to light the slaughter of th*
Fifty-one:
No prayer for pity stained their lips,—no tear for
mercy shed.—
But calm and bright was every eye, and proudly
raised each head!
They marched them forth with pinioned arm*,
and bade them bend the knee—
On tyrants go, but little know, the feelings of the
free;
Above the rabble voices rung brave Crittenden's
proud tone —
“ Spaniard ! a free American kneels to his God
alone !”
Calmly they stood, but who can tell the thought
that filled each breast,
That wrung from those brave hearts tho tern*
their mighty pride repressed,—
One thought upon Ids sweet, young wife, whose
kiss slept fresh upon his cheek.
And the pang that rent that gallant breast, no
tongue on earth may speak !
Another of the precious child bis buried wife had
left.
Now of a watchful father's care so soon to bo bo
reft, —
Who would protect her in this world, when h
was in an another?
Sleep, noble heart, in peace for now “ Iter country
is lier mother ?”
And one thought of bis happy home, on green
Kentucky’s shore,
Where watched the grav-haired mother, who
might never see him more ;
Another of the promised bride to whom his faith
was given,—
Alas! they ne’er may meet again, unless they met;
in heaven !
And one whose pallid lip still felt his mother'*
last warm kiss, —
She little dreamed her darling boy would meet a
fate like this;
His life-long prayer had been to fall in Freedom’*
glorious strife—
Yet he met bis death with quiet scorn—“ he did
not value life!”
But hark ! the signal word has passed—the Spon
ish guns Hash out,
And their dying groans are drowned, amid th
heartless rabble shout.—
Oh, God! where was thy lightning then, that
patriot blood was shed—
But why should coward hands pollute the conse
crated dead ?
Concha, the curse of broken hearts rest on thee
to thy end—
The curses of the widowed wife, of mother, broth
er, friend;
Thou hast acquired a bloody name, au infamous
renown—
Thou slaughterer of free-born men—thou minion of
a crown!
And thou, whose frozen heart was sealed to pity’s
gentle claim,
Upon thy name a brand is set of everlasting
shame,—
Thou miglitst have heard their farewell words, ban*
cheered their parting breath, —
Have saved their hallowed clay from desecration
worse than death!
Cuba! thy soil is sacred now—tear off thy chain*
—arise,
And let the cry of Liberty wing upward to the
skies—
Wrest thy loved isle, so beautiful—the green An
tilles gem—
The pride of free-born Cubans from the Spanish
diadem !
Strike, and be free ! —the prayers of hearts now
bleeding here are thine, —
The kindred blood shed there has made thy catne
to us divine, —
Thy Hag is nestled close beside the banner of onr
land,
And thy soil made sacred by the blood of that de
voted hand.
