Again. Flie individual opinion nf a very large majority of the Whig Conven tion, if expressed, would have been si.li- Stantially as follows : ‘ 1 should prefer 10 see Daniel Webster Pied lent before all other men ; his on. quailed talents, his great and useful public services, his pre eminent fitness for die office, entitle bio: to the first political positron in die mini *ry J yet lie is not popular, the people of the country are nm sufficiently enlighten ed to Appreciate services such as he has performed,—therefore he nujlit not to be nominated.’ ‘Now, suppose line Convention had publicly avowed the reason for their hi lion, and passed the following pretinhle and resolutions : • Whey as, while we the members of this Convention am on. animously of opinion that Daniel Well* ler ought to lie n nniiiated and elei ted to Ihe office of President of il.e Uni'ed Stales ; we know that he is a hard-work* ing, pains-tnliing drudging civilian, who has given his life, and henlih, ami strength to the maintenance of tlie Constitution, and upholding to die best of his ability, under die providence nf God, the liber’ lies of his country ; hut the people of die United States are not capable of umbos standing and appicciating the value of of such services, while they are capable ol appreciaiing military services, per formed on the field „l battle there fore— ‘ Resolved, 7 Imt it is inexpedient to nominate Daniel Welt-ter to the i.fiice of *he President of the Uni'ed Siatrs, and we do hereby nominate General Winfield Scott to the said office of Pre-idcnt of the United States.’ Now, suppose just such a preamble and resolution had been passed, do you, Mes. srs. editors, think there is a man in ,\- merica, out of the Convention, who would have coiisiileted such a nomination binding upon him? Do you nut think that the members of the Convention would have been hi-sed through every part of the United S ales, and scnuied by every friend of republican liberty through out the world ? bo far from promulgating ac, utiuient ■like this, both lit • Whig and Democratic Conventions thought proper formally in ayow their confidence in the iutelligt me and patriotism of die people, ami their entire fitness for self govei nrnent.

True, all Whigs consented to abide by die decision of dint Convention, but that consent proceeded Upon the in- - plied understanding that the ('nuventinn itself should he guvt rued by sound re- j publican principles. The assumption that the people do not possess suffiri.nl intelligence and patriotism to appreciate rfjje acknowledged capability and services j ol any man, however great he may lie, is I a heresy not to lie mile-rated, because it ‘ aims a Id ivv at the vet v foundaiion ol Republican Government.

In the end they will oblige us to do tvliat they please—we, the discontented Cu-j bans. Wen-peat, we will not imilatej the example of those miserable’ coward*. We only say dial General Canedo has in hi* favor his caution and his silence.— Without doubt, lie does not itr.itaie his predecessor in tipselling all which went before him. He is afraid to offer any thing or to reform anything. The Sen* or Canedo, it is vety ( lear, does not yet know the connlry : matter of course, n il is very difficult for a military chief horn in a distant country, and very different from ours by climate, customs, ideas and condition, for which reason he should srek to hide this fault. It is a finll'uaiu ral to any Captain who lakes command of this Lland, hut the Sennr Canedo tots not verified the pretensions of his foolish pre* decessor. We are ahniilto describe the situation of.the /.-land in a few words. The Island of Cuba is ill a complete state of agitation and excitement. The Cubans are conspiring constantly against the Metropolitan Government (com which alley have not received for many tears aught but humilatiou ami insults,’injustice and illegal oppressions. These have re vived in them their amieut resentments with the firm desire to aveltge the blood j ot their lirethren, Sited on the sc-.ffohl -■nil on the folds of battle.

Notwithstanding the 1/iiferior con rl which was in session had brought together a considerable iinmber lof persons, the meeting was very thin. j Wo h ave tec* iced tlie proceeding- nf ; a large and eutitn-ins'ie third candidate j mee ing lately held ill M prion enmity, hut j ■ they came to hand 100 late for our pre<- j eni issue. They shall appear in our ] next. Unavoidable rircuuist'ances have de layed <nir paper one flay beyond the time fi>r publication. Our readers w ill please bear w ith us u little and vve will do our best to be punctual in future. Why so murk Anxiety! The Democratic pnitv of Georgia are vainly endeavoring to conceal their dis quietude in regard to the third candidate movement. They are loud in proclaim ing the impossibility of effecting any thing bv tlie movement and avowing that the Whig party are honorably bound to support G"n. Scott bet ause he is the nom inee of a National caucus. Tbeyevince a wonderful degree of solicitude for the prospects of the old General and are perfectly astonished that Whigs have got patriotism enough about them to repndi ate him, tg he is the progeny of b nation al convention. It is somewhol strange that the enemies of Whig principles should exibit so much anxiety and solicitude for the fate ol the Whig nominee, hut the mystery is fully explained by the united J efforts thev are making to gull faint j hearted Whigs into the belief that an cf fort for a third candidatezvolild be trench i erfius to the party and utterly fu'ile in its i purposes. The truth'i- they are liiglii jened- the people cver\where of all fiar r tii's ate becoming heartily disgusted at the foil) spoil of HitrinilH that has lately furred its vvuv into our national caucuses. These j caucuses air> now sapping the verv fnunda i tious (if l!c|ijd’li ( "'" | ismjhv placing it lievpnd tlie power of the m ohiiiy to exercise the j tight to vote gs they please and for whom I ’ they please- for ihe most important office jin the American government. The prop'e : i having become convinced of this evil are de termined to throw aside their party allegiance ] which has been so basely perverted and boldly maintain their tight tn elevate to the chief magistracy, a man worthy to receive their support. Hence it is, that thn.se who are willing to sell tlieir votes and influ ence to a national caucus and suffer a con gloinmerated mass of fanatics tn use them as I a tool to plat e in power men who are un qualified and unsafe, have become terrified I at the increasing minority into which they are falling and as a last resort now appeal to their opponents to come hack and place the yoke of lumdage upon their necks. We warn Whigs to be ware of such a step. The Democrats are the fathers of national caucuses. They were the first ! to use them as a means tn defeat the peo ple in obtaining men of tlieir clioiee for high offices. Tlie Whigs have followed in tlieir tvake and fought them after the mode of tlieir own warfare until thev have arrived where hut a leap remains tn etignlph them in political bondage for all lime to come. The Whigs are now cast ing off th charm and reirariughli<eir steps while D tnocrary stands upon the preci pice and cries leap ! but tlie cry is tin heeded hv vvhigs, and even some of their own number h ive yet a spark of republi canism glow ing within tlieir bosoms and will not leap. But now the cry is raised, “it is dishonorable to retreat,’’ but lie that bring dishonor open his rounliy rather than retract an unholy and dangerous po litical iilliain e has no room to cry ‘‘dis honor*’ even to traitors.

Tlie meeting then adjourned. W. N. L. CHECKER, Ch’n. C. 13. Yot;Nish i.ood, Scc'v. Mr. Webster Nominated for the Presidency. Masses of the people, in spite of the threalenings nl polililiiaps, are ev ideotly heni on voting for Daniel Webster for the Presidency. At Trenton, Boston, and Milledgeville, there have been for mal nominations ; and by the first ol'Sep teiliber there will probably he a Webster ticket in every State ih tlie Union. Mr. Webster’s position in regard to these movements, a$ vve have said from the first, will be that of ‘ masterly'"inactivity.’ Although every partizan journal in tlie country, from the venerable Intelligencer ■ u Washington, to the verdant Times in ibis city, is shaking the rod of reproof in the face of the great ‘Expounder,’ and calling on him to how down and confess iti the gods whom their hands have set up, y et he moves not — winks not—-opens not iiis mouth. Os course, lie will tie de* ceil as * no Whig ’ and read out ol the party by such high priests as the edi tors of the New York Tribune and Al bany Evening Journal, whose political i orthodoxy consists m sticking to the , 4 usages of party ’ by supporting tlie can didate, and ‘ spitting nn the platform.’ At the Georgia Union Convention, on the I Tilt inst., the following Resolutions w ere adopted : Whereas, we a portion of the represen tatives of the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia, in the Convention held on the loth inst., in connection with other members of the party, in Convention as. sembled, prefer the selection of other ran, didates, for President and Vice Pie-blent oftlte United State*, than those now he fore tlie country ; and believing that a majority of the people ill* Georgia rhsire that they may have the opportunity 0 f voting for men to whom they can mote cordially give tlieir support than to the present nom.nees— Therefore, Resolved, That we rerem mend tn the people ol Georgia, who pre fee the selection of o Icr candidates’ |„r President and Vtri President, to appoini Delegates to a Convention to be held in the city ol Macon, on Tuesday, the 17• It day of August itext, to take such action as they may deem proper in reference to iheen-uiiig PieMibllttnl election.

IH “ jig The Fisheries Difficult} —Object cf tlie British Provinces.
