Not ahtrmeil, we hope, al tlie pros|s-cts ! We npprehcit l that the Editor's xvr.'ith has another source am) would take another direcftoti. yf tt w.'itv deetrted ev|>e.lteiit. Rut it is all turned <<h us. < )ur aiuiahility and forbearance are the seape-ijoats of other’s sins. Verv well.— j But the Etnpiin-r denies that it li rirtnally admit | | ted that Mr Ji.ltnsoti c/ti/hold toeertain ohjeetion hlo o|nnioiLs, o thought so, and vre think ho yet, and so thought all the persons we have heard s|>eak of its editorial oflast week. Wo publish here, word for word, what he said, capitals, italics uifd all, jus? as it appeared in the Enquirer, and we leave it to the reader to determine whether it is not a virtual jtdmission, and a plea in avoidance: ” < >r without further taking into consideration that Mr. JnlitiHou. fas gentlemen frequently do, who like to hear others argue, iu eoimtion or pri vate and friendly conversations, and who never ex|'et to he hauled up before the public nlxuit it) did take the false and untenable positions .attribut ed to him, to bring out that argument. We re ! peat, that without taking- litis view of the matter, i which is hut a charitable view of it—and suppose w deny to Mr Johnson the right lo know best what were his own opinions (and we have not hoard tlial that has been tlone by any one, wher ever lie lias been.) and admit that Air. Johnson did alone time entertain every sentiment, with language and expression, verbatim et literntrm , ;is these gentlemen have charged upon him—yet one thing is certain. IIE DOES NOT NOW HOLD OR EXPRESS THESE OPINIONS, hut he assumes tho CONTRARY GROUND.” Notv tve admit that the e.'tso is put hypotheti cally, and in tho Editor’s liest non-committal style: but it is a virtual admission of the fact, and a de fence put in that ‘‘he does not .now not.n or F.XI’RESS these OI’IMONR.” Certainly if these al legations of unimpeachable witnesses were not true, not only the Enquirer, lint Mr. Johnson would 1 deny them—hut the Enquirer has not done it.— That paper was n/ipa*ed to have done so —hut when called on t<> say operifically whether it was so, the editor replied in the negative. Mow Mr. Johnson has denied it will he seen from onr Rufina Vista correspondence. It wont do Mr. Editor. Aon are a capital ‘‘art ful dodger”—lmt this was one of tho tight places that you could not wriggle out of it. A'ott had either to confront witnesses whom you knew spoke the truth, or you hail virtually to acknowledge the corn. You have done it. All that part of the article that illustrates the old saving of ‘‘Pot calling kettle black face,” we pass over—the game is not worth the candle. A FUSS IN THE FAMILY. An extremely innocent remark ofours last week, in encouragem-tit of our friends in Muscogee, to hare faith —to “trust in God and keep their pow der dry” seems to have created quite a buzzing among the little busy bees that hive about the En quirer office. As for th’ Editor he gels right down mad, and scolds in a way, unusual with him, and quite unseemly in a jiolitiei.au up for an office, with whom all things are working right and smooth. The candidates, too, re seared into print, as follow#: a C.\ Rn. It is due to the Constitutional Union Party of Muscogee county, and otir mutual friend*, to sav, that so far a* any ‘‘secret influence# are at work,” referred to in an Editorial of the Times, in rela tion to the approaching election in this county, we have no knowledge of it, no jwirt nor lot it. A. MetMWGAi.n, T. E. Wool.mu nor.. Ah' 1 Indeed! “Let the galled jade wince.”— And so Mr. Wooldridge has “no knowledge and v ipart or lot” in the “secret inlhn nees at work.”. I wonder! “When ignorance is bliss, ti# folly to be wise.” Don’t know anything about it, elt ? Well, we reckon we shall not enlighten the darkness that j has eo tie over the “Const'tntioiial Union” folks of Muscogee— at le*t until after tiie election. lint then, we appivheti 1 the tiling will need no eluci dation. Like the auctioneer's beans, “they will s|>eak for themselves.” Somethinu or a Loa ti.—A load of If> hales of cotton came in on the South Plank Road last Satur day’, drawn by four small mules. It was brought from the |>!antation of A. G. MeGehee, thirteen j miles from the city. The bales averaged .11 Si lbs. ! < >.er the ordinary road, five of these hales would have been a load for the team. Mr. MeGehee is of opinion that the same team can bring in 20 hales. —Mint Advertiser. We call the attention of the Merchants an and Pro perty Holders of < olumbus, and Planters trading here, to the alwwe. “A word to the wise is suffi cient” generally—hut it takes many words to reach the wisdom of our good citizen* on subjects nearest to their interests. Two or three plank roads of front gl to 10 miles length, are of prime necessity to tit's city— indispensable to secure its legitimate trade A'.to retain some that it has—yet ; who moves in it ? who ,-ares l who takes linn’ to i link beyond i be doors of his own counting room, j to enquire how the general weal of the coninmni ; ty of which lie is part, is faring? No where else ; is the maxim unpractically exemplified a* in Col umbus, that “what’s everybody's business is no i indy’s husinets.” Mississippi.—The democratic |vipers of this S’ • > contradict, most jnsitivelv. the rumored : withdrawal of Messrs. Thnin|*nn au l MeWillie ! from the Congressional canvass in their respective : districts. Mr. Johnson’* mode of meeting the proofs of his anti-Southern principles, as exhibited by our B tern Yist i correspondent, will divert (lie good people of Columbus. Mr. Johnson hid been unfed hv his friends to use strong lanifunoe to characterize these charges—but he would not—he was up to snuff—it was only a trap to ensnare him into a duel > Fid dle-saddle. It was much easier for Mr. John son to trump up this get-off, than it was to violate his own conscience by a denial. He knew that Flewellen’s statement is every word, carefully, critically and punctiliously -trim —he knows that his old partner Wiley Williams could swear to tlie truth of every word of it: and hence, he does not use “strong language” to deny and denounce the charges. Why who supposes* if Mr. Johnson felt t hat these charges were false and calumnious, that he would or could be restrained from de nouncing them in the most emphatic lnn gttage?—woujd a man, guiltless of such charges be estopped by the cautious appre hension of getting his foot into “a difficulty,” ■fronrlxjidly and indignantly proclaiming that ‘ “THK tKIOK o F THK STATKS AXD THR SOVKKKIGfiITY OR THK STATICS.** COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, [WTJEEM.ILtY.] he had been falsely and maliciously slander ed? Innocence is never so wary as all that. This is the conduct of guilt. “Conscience makes cowards of us all.”. lION. JOHN M. BERRIEN. This gentleman has put forth an address to the if Georgia, defining his posi tion <m the exciting issues before the people of the State. Judge Berrien has been claim | ed as a Cobb man. The address before us is the most bitter satire, in a quiet way, we have yet readmit the “Constitutional Union” party. Judge Berrien shows that the Cobb party is not on the •• Georgia Platform.” and that their principles, as set forth in tlioir speeches, addresses and editorials, are at points with the action of tlie Georgia Con vention. We publish-tliat portion of the ad dress. The AiTgusta Constitutionalist makes the following comments on it: “The following portion of Judge Berrien's address will explain his position on tho mat ters now under discussion by the people of Georgia, and soon to be decided, lie is a I’niun man, but not a Constitutional Union man under tho teachings of Cobb. Toombs and Stephens—lie is on the Georgi a Platform as laid down by the Convention—is willing, for the sake of h trmony. to let bv-oones be by-gones—but cannot sing hosannah* to the Compromise measures, and say they arc FAIR. LIBERAL and JUST, and that the South has gained more than she lost In these measures. No, he is an honest man, and be ing such, cannot he made a political tool of by po!itical tricksters —hence he is discarded, by them. But the people of Georgia will sustain him and the platform laid down by the Georgia Convention. Messrs. Cobb Toombs and Stephens to the contrary, not withstanding. The Compromise may be fair, liberal and just, in the eyes of these gentlemen, hut it will require the aid of I Hersdiel’s grant telescope to enable the peo- j pie of Georgia to see it in the same light.” | But from various quarters, the question is : propounded to me—Will you act with the ! Constitutional Union party?—and it shall he ) answered frankly. I adhere to the decision of the Convention, i With these representatives of the sovereign- | ty of Georgia, I have a lively recollection of “the aggressive spirit of Representatives of j the lion-slavohoiding States,” with which | “we have long combatted,” and feel, with j them, that the sources of this turbid stream | lie beyond the Halls of Congress —that “they are. to be found in the midst of their several ; constituencies”—J agree with them, that the | meeting of the Convention afforded a fit oc casion “for the sovereign people of Georgia ‘ to commune with the sovereign people of j those States,” to remonstrate calmly and frankly with them, and “to recall them to a sense of their duty as confederates.” And although 1 iiud in (lie compromise measures, as they did. “matter for objection and matter for ap|rovar*—though, like them, I do not “wholly approve” them, yet, like them, I will i “abide bv it,” and will unite with any party, j or portion of my fellow-citizens: whose eon- [ duet, tis a partv. shall conform to a spirit i thus manifested by a patriotic body. Like j them, “impelled l>v an earnest desire to per- j pctu.ute the American Union,” 1 am anxious j to “restore that peace .and harmony on which j its value” depends—and with them, am wil- ! ling to “let by-gones be by-gones,” in the | cherished hope that “brighter hours will | come.” If these opinions and these feelings make me a Constitutional Union man, here | then is the pledge of mv fealty. But if beyond this I am required to say j what the Convention have not said—to af firm what they have exprcsslycontradicted— I if. in the face, of the long-continued manifest ations of an aggressive spirit on the part of the non-slavcliolding States, which tlie Con- I vention denounced in tlie language of calm, yet in inly remonslranee, it is exacted from i me to sty that Georgia has sustained no 1 wrong—if. while they declare that there isin the Compromise such “matter for objection” lltil they cannot “wholly ap|trove it,” I am required to say, not only that there is iu it tto matter for objection, and that J wholly np jtrove. it, hut also that it is fair, just and equitable—a source of triumph and gritula tion to the people, of Georgia—-then 1 have to say, non lure in fmlrra —I cannot enter into Ihese bonds. I w ill not make war upon the Convention. This is neither their language nor spirit. It is in direct conflict with ;fll they have said or done. I cannot “swallow my own words”—l cannot unsay, to propi tiate the favor of a party, what, under the ob ligations of my oath. I have said in maintain ing the rights of the State. I cannot stultify myself, lest I should invade the province of that reverend gentleman, and gallant soldier, and accomplished statesman, who does mb the favor to sit in judgment on my “capaci ty.” 1 cannot entitle myself to the forgive ness. which in such a truly gentle.and patron izing spirit, is vouch*: fal to my “aberra tions.’’ t cannot hope to remove the serious doubts of the many patriotic and intelligent, men who have unburdened themselves to tlie nonprinting Convention of Richmond. No, follow-citizens, when 1 accepted, with |>ro- f found gratitude, to those w ho bestowed it, a seat in the Senate of the U. S.. I made no surrender of my privileges as a free citizen of Georgia. 1 retained mv rights as a man, and could not divest myself of my obligations as an accountable being. Dragged before t e public to repel an unfounded imputation on my personal integrity, at a moment like this, it is both my right and my duty tosjieak the truth, “without fe w. favor, affection, or tin’ hope of reward,’ - tinawed by the menace, of party proscription, and unseduced by the hope of conciliating opposition. To the de cision of the people of Georgia, ns it has been announced by their representatives in Con vention assembled. I yield a cheerful obe dience. and will cordially unite with any par ty who will adhere to it. with fidelity, by whatsoever name that party may he distin guished. By that, decision, the people of Georgia, impelled by an earnest desire to perpetuate the Uni >n,and to restore the peace and harmony so indispensable to the accom plishment of that object, agreed to throw a veil over past aggressions, the existence of which they did not deny, but asserted—to acquiesce in the Compromise, not wholly to approve it —not to eulogize it—not to pro claim it as a triumph to the South: —above all, the Convention did nothing to authorize the formation, under its auspices, of a pro scriptive party. They opened wide the por tals of the temple of freedom, and called to thei.’ fraternal embnicc all who would cor dially and faithfully unite with them in main taining the principles which they proclaimed as essential to the preservation of the Union. I am unwilling to believe that the great ma jority of those who are ranged under the standard of the Constitutional Union Party, are not actuated by the same, just and liberal spirit—l will not permit myself to think that the proscriptive spirit so very strikingly exhi bited by the Richmond fraction of that great party, is characteristic of their associates.— Consider for a moment what it is they have ’ done, apart from the calumny of which they intended that I should be the victim. The most distinguished citizen of their county— one who has served them w ith eminent abili ty, and a fidelity which-no man will call in •question—who has a stronger hold on the af fections of their people, and of those of the State at large, certainly than anv other man in Richmond, probably than any other man in the State—w ho would justly occupy an elevated position in any assembly of the State or ofthe Union—a man. the purity of whose private life is beautifully illustrated in his pub lic conduct—alike (in the better sense of that celebrated phrase) “without fear and w ithout reproach”—without fear, but to do wrong, and without the reproach of doing it—this man too has been politically ostracised, so far as it was in the power of the nominating Convention of Richmond to banish liltti from public service. Bitxa -Vista, Sept. J7th, 1851. Mr. Editor: —To-day came Mr.Johnson, and spoke to the people. I will not follow him through his speech, as it was nothing I more than a review from the Annexation of | Texas, including the measures called the ! compromise, with the accustomed blow of I Union and disunion. When he said there were | charges made against him and positions as , eribed to ‘him by Messrs.

[From tho Montgomery Allas.] Ftrwi.ei, friend Hooper, ofthe Cham ber’s Tribune. shall have seen the use made of that editorial of his about the Whig party, by the Register of this city and kindred prints will it not induce him to submit to the ordeal of a rigid self-examination? We think it ought.—[ Mobile Advertiser. The “editorial” in question, was one in which Hoiqier made a clean breast of it, and acknowledged that the Whig jiarty at the Smith was as “dead as a Mackerel”—that at the North that party had become hopelessly abolitionized—that consequently the South ern Whigs could have no further alfiliation with them—that the Northern Democracy “.as a general tliing, was sound on the Slave ry question”—that the Constitutional doc trines of this latter party were, the safest for the South, and that the old “Jackson Guard,” was. after all, the only kind of jiarty soldie ry that the Southern States could rely on for a maintenance of their rights,&e, The editor Ilf llic Mobile Advertiser, who knows nolhing in polities, but the interests of parti/, stiqis not to inquire into the truthful ness. or falsity of these candid avowals, but finding that they may he turned to some ac count against his dearly beloved associates and all-potent allies of the North, stands a gltast at the blunt honesty of his “friend Hooper.” and administers to him the above rebuke for start ling the world with so strange a phenomenon, as * submission Whig dealing in a little, down-right, hottest, plain spoken, |>olilic:ii trut It. It was indiscreet in “friend I loojter” — xvliat political .Jesuit will deny it!—thus to play the Marplot to the great vexation of all the \irtu mis Tartufes ofthe press: and it is no won der that our neighbor of the Journal labored • so h ird to throw over it the appearance of a ’ “/n!,r. ‘ To hear a pi ominenl politician among our opponents, telling the plain undisguised truth, in relation to the innumerable and h titious transgressions of Ids jiarty, we confess does. at first sight, wear the appearance of a “jiihef and might perhaps it; I Id* instance have pas sed for one.

Now. as that is a kind of weapon that is not often found in that partv armorv. they of course could dis cover little or no use for it, and wc.ro as coy of making its acquaintance as a raw recruit of coming in contact with a twelve-pounder. So. thus it stands: The editor of the Cham bers Tribune, a strong Submission Whig, having by some means or other—the ways of Erovidenee are inscrutable —been brought to the stool of repentance, honestly divulges to the world certain wholesome and import ant truths —or, in other words, makes an hon est confession of certain facts; which throw as much discredit upon liis own party as they reflect honor on that of his political oppon ents: and so astounding and unheard of is the procedure to some of his party confreres, that one of them can only account for it on the supposition that it was intended for a “jokes —while other looks upon it as an offence of so grave a character that it can only be ex piated by long and severe penance, after the preliminary discipline of a most rigid “self examination!” There are other points connected with this naive confession, which might be used to good advantage, if it were our present object to contrast the doings and tendencies ofthe two old parties on the subject of Slavery for a number of years past.

FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 3, 1811. THE ELECTION is giiiitg on quietly and smoothly. W o have had none of the burly burly excitement that usually Jireeede# a struggle t the Judin. It i* tube luqied that men will be able to vote calmly and disjias sioilately according to the inqiulses of duty and tho deuian Is of jM-ineijile. The great bubble of danger to tlie Union lias exploded, and men will not ru*h to the polls, as the Millerites did on the great, last day to put on their ascension robes.— W’e consider that a more nneertain eleetion than the one at hand has never taken jilaee in Geor gia. The Gobbite* may brag, and do brag, but no man knoivs wb.it twelve months of relieetion on the eoiTqiro’nise and llic attitude of tlie South have effected. I here is everything to encourage the friend* of the South to exertion. If the South is to l*e protected front further .aggressions, it will he by the shield which the Southern Rights Party will throw between it audits Ibcs. Unionism of fers no defence to us or our institution*.— The North is looking with deep anxiety to see what our jiolls will declare next Monday. IfCobh and his jiarty carry the day, there will be rejoic ing in the houses ofthe I'ree-Snilers every where. There is no doubt of this fact: and it should sjieak a warning voice to our peo|)le, in explanation of the true nature of this contest. It would seem that the cause of the South ought to tl’iiiiiijrh ill ! (lie homes of its friends— on the soil of the South. UW The Enquirer's long dissertation n'smt the “ Times—llio ( May ton Compromise—;in! the Lit** territorial hills,” are twaddle and nothing else. It is intended to throw dust into the eves of voters just on the eve of an election. Why is tbisdis cuss on postponed to iliis Into lump ? Why Jims not the Enquirer argued these great question* for a year |>ast ? and we ajqionl to all its readers to prove that it has done nothin; all this time but editorialize about tbe “stars and strijies” and tile ” glorious union” and the traitors of Smith Car di na and Georgia. W e brushed .evay all it* cobwebs in a single article, last week. If we were to undertake to brush away the f. “sit ones that it lias now spun we should repnhbsh that at L.r'e. But our readers are already in possession of it and we shall not annoy them with the repetition. Tlie great fact still stands forth, that it was the lex loci doctrine put forth by the Whig members of Georgia in Congress, that taken with the last emnjiroinise. excluded the South from the territo i ries just as effectually, a* if tiny had been sur rounded by a wall of fire, or a riirdon of armies- Stejihens with his Mexican law frightened our |ioo|>lc out of all thoughts of emigration to Califor nia until the moment when California decided what her institutions were to be—and as tho slave holder was not there to vote on the question, of course the YTtnkees and the Chinese, and the In dians and Free Niggers, the Mexicans,and hea ven know# what sort of outlandish nations, voted slavery out of the country. * But- we will not publish the bills ! Well, the Enquirer wont the facts that gave color and character to the bills. It was Stephen's Inter national doctrine that did the mischief, before the bills were jwssed. It makes no difference whether we assented to Stephens’s doctrine or not —it had its effect—it kept our jx-ople out—it keeps them out yet, and would, if I here were no compromise. But it is folly to pursue the pettifogging of the Enquirer at this stage of the game. It is too late to argue now. We have been trying to get the Enquirer to this argument for a long time—but | NUMB till 40 could get nothing but its single note of “glorious union.” The argument is exhausted, it is now time to stand bv our votes. THE CONSUL AT HAVANA. W e have forchdrne to republish the many ter-1 rible things that have been said of Mr. Owen by the American Press; because Mr. Owen is a citizen of,a neighboring county, and although we, never had much respect for him |olitie;illv, we would not suppress a wish that he might be able to explain away the serious charges against him as a man. We recollect no instance in which such torrents ofindignation have been poured out on one head. Ami while political op]*.unit and neutral unite in one volley of condemnation, the presses friendly to the administration do not de fend him. We publish to-day his letter of explanation.— W e must say with the Saw Republican, that it is entirely “unsatisfactory.” Absence front Itis of fice at a time so critical to the lives of some half a hundred of his countrymen in a foreign land, to which he was accredited ns a special guardian of American life and property, is but a lame defence. We think the true solution of Itis conduct is, that he sympathized with the sentiments of Mr. Fill more’s proclamation, denouncing the invaders as ; plunderers and pirates, and felt no very lively in terest in their fate. And what fastens this im pression is the fact vouched for by the prisoners subsequently taken, that lie was neglectful and cureless of their condition. We publish Mr Own’s letter and the cards of the prisoners. The conduct of the Britisli Con sul and his Secretary was generous and noble.—; S>> highly is it appreciated that the citizens of-N* Orleans propose to make these gentlemen some public testimonial of their admiration and thanks. Unusual Phenomenon.- —List evening tliere \vs a display of tlio Aurora Borealis, of a brillian cy and duration very unusual, if not unprecedent ed, in this latitude. A rich flush of light of vari ous shades, from a pale green at the horizon to a glowing crimson at its upper edge, covered more than half the Northern sky, .and was so vivid as to produce a general impression that it was produc ed by a conflagration in the neighborhood. This extraordinary visit of the Aurora was continued until a late hour of the night, and if the exhibition was of a corresponding brilliancy in regions fur ther North, it will afford a rich theme for scientific discussion.— Clitis:. Mercury. The same phenomenon was exhibited in un usual brilliancy at this place. It lasted from dark | until 10 o’clock. When we last looked at the Northern sky, the violet and crimson tints had faded away and the horizon was illuminated with a pale bright light, precisely like the dawn of a clear morning. It was difficult to imagine that you were not watching the breaking of a splendid daylight. Many persons here had never seen the Aurora before, which shows how rare the phe nomenon is in this latitude. FRUITS OF THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY ON LONG ISLAND. The following from the Long Island Farmer is a truthful description of the intolerable nuisance it represents. Nearly all these negroes were slaves or are the descendants of skives, and they are just what and no worse than negro slaves every where would be, if like these wretches of Long Island, they were set free and left to themselves : — N.Y. Day Bunk. “We for a long time have refrained from noticing an intolerable nuisance existing in our village, in hopes that the proper authorities would adopt some measures where by the evil might he abated, lint Hading no action taken hy.tliem. wcappeal to the villagers generally to urge our worthy trustees to enact some taw whereby our village may tie freed from the greatest curse, in a moral point of view, that cun tie inflicted upon us—we refer to the con gregating in our streets of a dirty, drunken, impudent, I infamous set of male and female negroes, who make it a common practice nightly to gather in large groups on the corner of almost every street, drink rum, use all kind of filthy and profane language, quarrel and make night hideous with their incessant squalling and drunken rev elries. The ladies of our village hardly dare venture in the street after night fall, fearful their progress (which is the case frequently) may he impeded by these dirty, im pudent blacks, nr their modesty shocked by the foul lan guage which tails from their polluted lips. •I.aiwiica is a pretty village, and many more would make it their place of residenc e were they not deterred liv the cause above named. We have been repeatedly told that W'e need not expect persons of respectability to settle here so long ns we allow a set of drunken negroes to run, riot a! night mid infect Hue atmosphere with an odor that no non-infcsUant (tan eradicate. Will otir trustees take the nuttier itt hand V If so. all well; it not, who w ill blame the people should they lake the law in their own hands amt abate tiiis intolerable nuisance?” These are scenes our Northern Brethren , in tin; excess of their philanthropy, are so anxious to prepare for us. Think of.it. Isa few free blacks .are able, by their abandoned and riotous con duct to make a little viilugi- in New York such a scene .as the lentg Island Banner de scribes—what would lie the condition of the South, with three or four millions of these people turned loose to “make night hideous” with their revel ries and pollutions ? The New York I hay Book says that these people were once slaves, or .are the descendants of slaves. Mow far has their eoinli t:on, morally .and physically, been bettered by free dotti ? They have become the slaves of passion and of v’ee. Is their condition better than it would lie amid the “rnntamiuatins influence* / xlareiy ?” Perhaps (lie Pnion can liilate for ('"tigress in tiiis District could answer this i|tiestioii. Th - goo 1 citizens of tie* free village ol'.Taniaicn, it seems, final that there are ‘‘contaminating inllii enoes” surrounding hl.aek freedom in their midst. Ladies are not sale ill the streets, from a class of people fonec happy, well-fed. industrious and ns. - fully employed slaves) who are now characterized as a‘‘drunken, dirty, impudent, infamous set of male and female negroes.” We despise the cant about slavery. We des pise the sickly sentimentality that will not endure what is .a positive good bee.au e it has got a bad name. We despise the man who for .a barren idea would subvert institutions permitted by f iod, countenanced by his book, from which vast streams of blessings to both master and the slave, have been continually flowing since the first African was translated from barbarism in bis native coun try to civilization and plenty in this. We hold that the only evil thing als.ut African slavery as it exists here is its name. Except in name, slave ry, real slavery exists in more hideous forms In every other country. Our slavery is the I test or ganized system of labor the world ever saw—the best tbs world can have. While the primova curse of man lasts, that out of the sweat of his brow he should eat his bread—while labor is ne cessary to civilization, nay to life—so long as the majority of mankind mast work, and only a favor ed few can live without it—so long as this law of human existence remains of force, we repeat “African slavery is the best organized sy stem of labor the world ever saw.” Dont tell us therefore, of the “contaminating influences of slavery” of the “might that slumbers fn a freeman’s arm” (while that “freeman's arm” can be bought in most of the countries of the earth for barely enough food to sustain life) and all those other canting diatribes which find tlicirway, only, into beads that have a spot much softer than the hearts from which it is pretended that they spring. An abolitionist, we look upon as a sort of crazy man—crazy on one |tint, lie sees what he considers an evil, and in his blind enthusiasm will do a thousand times more evil to remove it Itis like burning up one’s house to get rid of the nits in it. Whenever a man talks that way, North or South, rely on it he has a soft “sjwit in his head, that may be very hard and strong in other respects —beware of him. fUJy“lntelligence lias reached the Navy Depart ment that Lieut Wilson IL McKinney, of the U. \ “, States Navy, departed this life at Marseilles on the I ’'th ot August, 1851.

Owen, Esq., our Consul at Havana, which it submits with out comment to the consideration of bis countrymen. Consulate of the United States, ) Havana, Sept, Hi, 1851. ( ‘Bn the I'.ililnrs nf the Republic: Sir: In your weekly issue of the 28th tilt, vou do me the justice, to object to my condemnation without a hearing, and to say that lam probably able to expiairn, to the satisfaction of my’ countrymen, my omission to net relative to the execution of the prison ers who were, slmt here on the 16th ult. Ido not doubt that I sit,-ill satisfy every im partial iiiint! that I am undeserving censure, and that I had no opportunity of doing any thing in behalf of the unfortunate men who met so sail a fate. I reside about four miles from this place,. and not being well on the morning of the Hit It. did not reach my office till some time af ter ten o’clock, where, for the first time, 1 heard oftlie capture of about fifty oft he men who had come with Lopez to this island! in the steamer Pampero. lat the same time/ heard that the pris ners had been tried,found guilty, eondemed, ordered to lie executed, She order for their execution sent forward, and (hey were about being removed from tho harbor, where they w ere, to the place of exe cution. .Shortly afterwards, the American residing here, who, it is said, called on me, came and m qitioncd the subject to me, when I said to him (It it it Was too late, and that I could do nothing—that I should not have time to get. permisson and see the prisoners. Os this 1 felt perfectly satisfied at the time, and I havo since been confirmed in tiiis opinion bv the highest authority in the island, who informed me that the execution, which had already been ordered before J readied the city, would not have been postponed for me to have inter view with the prisoners, inasmuch as .-ill I could have asked to be permitted to do had already been done by a gentleman known to some of the prisoners, for whom they had sent. Soon after Hie American referred to left my office, J received the information that a gentleman known to some of the prisoners had been sen: for by them, and to him they delivered the articles and messages they de sired to be conveyed to their friends. It was but a short time afterwards that I sent to tbc palace of the governor and captain general, and heard that the prisoners had then been executed. 3 ou will thus see that I had no time to act, and that it was notin my power to do any thing for the unfortunate men who had been induced to invade Cuba with the expectation that they would find the w hole island in a state of revolution, and that they would be received with open arms by the whole native population at least. The charge of indifference to the dreadful condition of such a number of men, the great est enemy I have on earth will not believe; and all must believe it a base falsehood* and an unfounded calumny. If it were allowableon such an occasion, I would most solemnly declare before God that, in my judgment, at the time and under the circumstances, it was not in my power either ‘to have an interview with the prisoners, or to have done any thing on their behalf. I am, very respectfully, your ob’t. serr’t. A. F. OWEN.
