The Courirr of this morning makes a series of finite handsome efforts tit nppe'ir in pood spirits under the existing cinbarrasments. Its party nominees are pietty goner illy leagu ing, ami the Count- is evidently trying to lie resigned also. Among other equally amusing whistles to keep up its courage, the Courier pays : "Uau.v!

We acknowledge the italics, but haven't the heart to add a word ! If the Courier chooses to kill its candidate in this manner, it is not for i to interfeio !

The "vindication of I'reedom,'' and 'salutary rebukes," should al wiys bo locked upon with proper decorum. Mr. Redfield's election "bv the suffrages of the prople," is about as probable as the destruction nf Gibraltar by a Mediterranean fog! Mr. Peck's adhesion to thes'o poor jprcmy-diddlers would have given the friends of Judge Wil liams something to do; as it is, they will "walk the course," and the 'fun of it is that the ( vuricr knows it!

I'liifin nf tie !ii I'nity of New Yoil;. For three days last past, the three Whig Committees of this great State that appointed by the Whigs of the last Legislature, and the two State Central Committees chosen last year lit the Syracuse and Utica Conventions hive been in solemn deliberation in the city o Alba vy. During this time, the eyes of all Whigs havp been anxiously turned towards them. Some have doubted their ability to effect a re conciliation between the Silver Greys and the (so-called) Woolly-heads ; while others have entertained the fullest confidence that a perma nent union would be brought about. Wo now have the unspeakable satisfaction of announc ing, tit it the Whigs of the' Empire State stand upon a common platform ; a platform broad tiough and linn enough to hold every Whig of the nation. Reserving comments for the future, we take its main features, with a few remarks, from tho Troy ll'liig. The call for a State Convention, to bo held al Syracuse, Sept. 17, is signed by all the members of the Committers above referred to. We now have no fears rel utivc to the next Presidential Election. The following is the platform : I. An economical administration of the gov ernment : Strict accountability of public oifirpr5,and faithful obscivan e of ticaty ob igations : ft. Harbor and River Improvements: t. A di'cniiiiintin'T Turin" j f. Opposition to the Extension of Slavery ovt r terntory now free, and an acknowledg ment of the right of each Slate In regulate its own domestic institutions, without interference from other States; ). To abide by tho Constitution of the United States m all its parts, and to receive, tustain nnd defend the decisions of the judicial tribu rials, and to iicquier.ee in all laws not by them declared uitciiiistitutioual : 7. The right of fieo discussion, with full and jiiiituil regard for tho constitutional rights of nil thu Statcsi t. Condeumat'wti of nil attempts to resist, defeat, or remit r iuetfi-tual, ony laws constitu tionally enacted : II. A full, Ir-io and UiiqMalilied endorsement of the National Administration and its metis lire1, as entitled to the conlidetico and support of the Whigs of New- Vorki 10. An endorsement of the State Adminis tration, ami more especially oi courso on tlio improvement question; Tins declaration of principles received the cordial and tuianimoMK conc-ttrreiice of the sev- mil Committees, ami we have no jnfon to cl iubt that it will receive the genoi.al concur- mice snd endorsement of tho Whigs of the t'i'e. It will umtoiibledly be acted up to in 5 1' f ,.'t(. f r m "if ' im I'm l" tm that if it 1 is not, the Union thus h ippily consuininited will be of no avail. It will be worse than useless. The Wliirr Patty of New York now occupy an impregnable position shoulder to shoulder with their brethren of the Union, in defence and suppoit of those great principles, maintain ed alike by the Whigs of Vermont and Louisi ana, Ohio and Georgia ; and we may now, with well-grounded confidence, look forward to the consummation of these great objects to which our Natioit.il and State Administrations arc de voted. The time of this consolidation of the Whigs of Now Voik is no less I'm lunate, than the re sults ensured by it are imp rtant to the Statu mid the Union. The agents through whom this happy slate of things has been produced, acted wisely, and with an intelligent and conscien tious regard for matured public sentiment, as seen in the action of the Whigs of other States, and in the manifestations: of settled connections produced by time and experience, at home. Animated by the samu desire for harmony, justice, and illingucss to yield somewhat of personal opinion for the general good, the Whigs, as a body, will go forward to the ac complishment of the work oo auspiciously be gun. SetcM.ion. Wc feel no common pleasure in announcing that every Southern journal wo receive speaks of this or that eminent quondam. Sectssionit, as having come to his senses, and going heart and soul for the Union. Such intelligence is gratifying to us, in the llrst place, as an indica tion tint our glorious Union, to which no man is more fervently and endnringly attached than ourselves, stands in no immediate danger ; and in the second place, as a convincing proof of our politico-prophetical claims. Wo never have, and never could, doubt the perpetuity of the Ame rican Union. We have cer looked upon it, as a thing to fall only with the general cra.-h of nature. The finger-marks of mi over-ruling Providence are too distinctly inscribed upon i's escutcheon to admit of a doubt as to its dura tion. A spirit is yet to go out from it, which will instruct the people of all the nations of earth that their destiny is to be free. Already in South Carolina, the very hot-bed of Southern I'lii.ilicism, large and enthusiastic meetings have been held for the avowed pur pose of porclaiming their unqualified attach nient to the Union as it is. Indeed, a srnsc of their titter weakness as an independent Repub lic, is gradually spreading over the entire South. The tin.t fiery of the Southern-right's champi ons begin to see, that in a Southern Confeder acy, or a Southern Oligarchy, existing in close proximity with a country, the first step upon whose soil would bo a signal for the fall of all chains of oppression, they would forever loe ihe right of Slavo-rocapluic, (the bone and .sin ew of the piesent excitement,) now po violently insisted on. They sec that in such a predict! inentjthey would find themselves w ithout a war essel or a regular soldier; deprived of all in terest in our public lands and public mines, and destitute of the power to keep in motion, oven for a limited period, the wheels of a distinct government. They see that they could hardly support a foreign miisioii in the various Courts of Europe, leaving all oilier countries out 0f recount; that they could inherit the lands of "neither their parents, children or kindred in other lands"; tint their mightiest strength w ould bo pure weakness ; and, in fine, that se cession would prove their ruin. The suppoilers of McDonald in Genrgin.and Qoitimn in Mississippi, in their fear of dofoat, admit lint tho present crisis is not one calling i'or secession : but insidiously insist upon the abstract right of any stat'j to secede, when greatly aggncxed. This concession is all wo need for the present. When the time comes, wc will be ready and willing to meet them up on the question of the right of anv State to .,, , .. ,, , i i it i , withdraw Irotn the federal Union. In the mean time, wc counsel our brethren of the South to 1 ... . rememner lint tliero are uianv men in the Iro- zen North, bv no means fanatics, who look un- I '.

The conflicting reports respecting the present situation of affairs in this Island hive so much embarrassed us, that we hardly know-what to say concerning them. Some accounts would lead us to believe tint Cuba is now in a revo lutionary stale. Others indicate tint tho Gov ernment looks upon tho movements of the in surgents as a matter of inconsiderable impor tance. Our opinion, formed altera careful pe rusal of all the variom report that Irivc como within our roach, is, that a serious outbreak will soon occur, resulting in a bloody civil war. The present government nf Cuba is tyraiini. cal ami oppressive. The Native Creole popu htion, co !inriimr nearly IDO.onn nf tlm itants of the Island, is o'nlv oiirio ie,!

They are not only heavily taxed for the support of their own, ami the par ent Government, but arc also debarred fiomiill participation in either. Tho Army and Navy arc shut against them. They live under tho almost unlimited authority of a Spanish Captain General, who is not confined, in tho exercise of his arbitrary power, within any constitutional limits. His will (the exponent of that of tho Spanish Government) is their Supremo law. Their duty, according to Spanish construction, is servile obedience. That a largo majority of any people, whoso necks have long been made soic by the iron heel of despotism, should forever remain quiet anil submissive, when within sight of a land of freemen, enjoying tho rich blessings nf popular hovcreignty, is a thing not to bo expected, on this Western Continent, in the middle of the nineteenth century.

It bus not been done without a cause ; and that cause, wo think, is the fear of revolution. We learn, moreover, from a most reliable source that many of the towns in Cuba aie in arms the piesent force amounting to uboill live thousand effective men that a provisional Co eminent is about to be organized, and that the Queen's troop.3 have suffered asevete loss. Recognising the absolute right of every peo ple to form a government for themselves, it is not without much solicitude that we await the result of thu present Cuban movements. But, in the meantime1, wo doubt not that our own Government will show itsolt no less leady than heretofore, to put down every attempt on the part of American citizens to interfere in the all airs of a friendly, neighboring pow or. We ar; not more anxious to look upon Cuba as an independent Republic than to see thu neutral ground, so long occupied by the United States faithfully maintained. Ililmnl Hull. It was with much pleasure that wc found in our Telegraphic dispatch from Washington of the Wilt ultimo, which we then published, that Judge Ham., of Pennington, had been oH'orcd tho appointment of Commissioner to settle hind chiimsiu California. -Mr. Ham, now holds an im porta nl position in the Auditor's Department at Washington, in the discharge of which ho has given many signal proofs of his fitness for the office now tendered to him, and which w e doubt not ho will accept. Everybody knows how often I he ( lovernment has been imposed upon by the presentation anil allowance of fictitious claims, livery diy some designing rascal presents a trumped-up account, which requires a clear, discerning uyc, and a willingness to labor and investigate, in order to bo justly exposed and rejected Tho iinu who has the keonoss to discern, the willingness to labor and the manly honesty to reject or allow, as the case may te quire, is IIii.vmi Ham . For thirteen years ho was tho able and effic ient representative of the Counties of Wind ham and Pennington in Congress. For a long period, he was the Chairman of the Committee on the famous Virginia Land Claims. These claims tho most infamous and unfounded, anil dating far back in our history hail been so long persisted in, and so eagerly supported by the mo-t able advocates of the " Old Dominion," th-it they had, at the time Mr. Ham. became chairman of the Committee named, come to bo looked upon with considerable favor. Put .Mr. Ham, knowing his duty and being both able ' and willing to discharge it, entered upon a te dious investigation which brought from him a report showing up the refined tact ol Virginia claimants, and resulting in the rejection by Con gress of fallacious claims to the amount of nearly a mim.iom or iiollaiis. When this able and convincing Report was brought before the House of Representatives, it elicited from the sublimated self-conceit of Virgmii Members a tirade of low abue of Vermont, to which Mr. Ham. proved himself amply able to reply, ami l"m w Inch ho then and there placed the eter nal seal ot disgust. o are happy to perceive that such services have not been unappreciated by the present Administration; and we predict that .Mr. II am., in the eoroi-e of the duties of this new appointment, will win to himself new laurels in im .ib'u, cuidid, lioui'.-t am! unfearing auditcr of claims against the United States.

My opinions were not formed Irom what I saw in Havana, only, or, in Met, Irom what I. saw at all: but horn conversations which 1 had! with persons of every political hue, in dilleient putts ' of the island. Indeed, I did not t one intelligent , Government ofliccr.wlio did not hcely acknowledge ' the impossibility ol Spain doing anything more than I to try liaid to keep Cuba, and to let it go with a des penile struggle. The accounts which reach us, show tint serious collisions have taken place between the people nnd the Government troops, and there. )i nu riason to doubt the success of the former. The de sire ol ihe authorilii s at Havana to represent the whole allliir as trilling, does not comport with the fact that t-oops have been sent to Nuevitas and Pu erto Principe, v hieh vyeie alieady well garrisoned. The Cubans have shown their wi-dom m the choice ol a locality. Puerto Principe is situated in the interior ol the Maud, and is neaily 5C(l miles horn Havana, and W, mile, from Nuvita, which is Its seaport, and through which all its loreigu trade paises. The mountains that flank the city, on eilher hand, will alfoid ample shelter to the revolutionists, who may nl.o diaw their suppliis from the licli agri cultural region adjoining. The liisiirieclionary district is nearly MO miles in extent, comprising the very heart of the island. The pro-pcel of the movement is therefore cncoiraging to ihe revolmiotnry parly. The exiled Cubans in this city ate. certain of success ; and l see no rea'on to doubt it.il the Government should not liberate the hall a million of slaves in the island, and arm them agaiu-t their masters. The I'epoit of the City Inp"c'or for the week eml ing July fiili, slum-. tnt during tint period, 337 dcalli- Ind occurred in this city. Of lliese.'Jl weie men, fil women, V.H boj, and 1ST gills.

As will he seen Irom the above, nearly two-thirds or the deaths, last week, occurred among children under live w ars of age ; and were nmily occasioned hy Cholera Iiuaiuum, Diariliiei nnd Djsenterv ; probably brought 1111 by eating large quantities ol green fruit, with winch our city is now overrun. To the filthy condition ol the streets, in nrmy iju irters of the city, may also he ascribed a great portion of the h lines that now prevails. The Report ol the Health ollieer of our sifter city, flrookljn.dir the week ending last Saturday, shows that the total number ol deaths was Oi ; of which IS were adull'.and 31) were children. As the weath er becomes cooler, so will the in irlality decrease a lb the case every yea r. However, we b ie ariivals enough to more than counieihalance the deaths. On .Saturday, two vessels arr.ved fiom Ihiglan I, and one hom IielanJ, with :i7l) iumiigr.inis ; and es;erday, two other ve-sels arrived lioin Liverpool, and two Irom Havre, bring in,; 7U7 of them.

First, it is impo-siblo lor any reasonable man to overstate the capacity and qualifications of .Messrs. Williams & I'klt, as I Intel-keepers ; and Second the Hlllohs Falls Hotel fill y proves and illustrates the truth of our first prop osition. We must take occasion to add, however, that if there, ever was a Hotel whose guests could rejoice in feeling "at liomc,'' it is the As tor Housn, in New Vork, the very finest es tablishment of its kind, wc verily believe, in tlio world. We agree that human ingenuity and human taste might, with tho same outlay of money, havo made a better arranged house than the Astok, but w e neither think nor imag ine that better men than .Messrs. Colk.va.n' & Sit.tso could bo found in this "universal world,'' to make that universal world attracti e and popular. Potli tho persons named are ptnthmcn 11 the highest sense of the word, and Chart.! r Stktbon is one of the mot intelli gent, cultivated, sound-reasoning and ready speaking men in Xew Vork. If our corres pondent below, therefore, means to be under stood as saying that visitors to tho Asaon IIous': find that they leave their homc-faling 'outside,'' we havo only to say that hois dread fully mistaken. The 'immense dormitories" that make up the Astot. Hol'sk suggest noth ing but comfort and a feeling of home, in all their appointments and accessories. .Such, certainly, h is been our experience, and such must he the experience of every visitor to that superb establishment. Witlt those "cavils,'' n 0 insert the communi cation of our correspondent, as follows : Iir.Li.ovvs Falls, July 23. f!i:.v. Ci.Ai::;n Dcak Sir. : Allow me to address a few words to you fiom a "li.ink of the Connecticut River," not, however, the monied iiistiliui.u ol that name, but a real substantial bank of rocks, sand and gravel. I Inve had an opportunity of seeing something of ihe Oieen .Mountain tale,both in its mountainous and irti'iHf-ous capacity. I have spent more or les tune in iilmo-t every village fiom St. Albans lo l.en iiingion on ihe wet side, and aNo in Hr.ittieboro and thi pretty little village. Weie I lo attemp', howev er, to describe my impressions of what I have seen, to your rtaders, it would only be speaking ol scenes quite lanuii ir to them, and of hose beauties they are quite a-con-ciou-as I am. I w ill, therefore, on y r 'mark, thai 1 have now here seen such extensive and pel leet haimony be 1 ween the grand and beaulilul, a in your mountain scenery; nowneie comloit mil elegance so generally united, as 111 the villages of Vermont ; very seldom so general a spirit of indom ta ble energy and perseverance, as among your ''moun taineers; nnd finally, in no -ection ot countr) vvhi.li I have yet vi-ited hive I found so many well-kept, eleg mt and comfortable hotels lor the entertainment of the w eary tiavellcr.or the ennuied pleasure-seeker. 1 have been led to these retnaiks by observing fre quent compliaicntaiy notices ol the new l.land House in tlu place. To "give the dev il hi.- due," 11 is certainly as line a hou-e as one could wish. Put I'm for giving all the "devils" their due, and hence I report mysell Irom the Ulli.mw's Falls Hotel. 1 have been "cared lor" in many if the bet houses in the State, nnd hive no hesitation m saying that in all die require tueiilsofa perlect holel comfori .neat ness, elegance, good-liv ing, kind cine and gentle manly treatment, the li F. Hotel ii not excelled by any. Ii is not so large ns many, but m nil its np pointmeuts it is complete, nnd pojsess-s what is so veiy desirable, and wh it eveiy traveler knows how to appreciate a charming sociability iu its manage ment. .Messrs. Willi vms A l"u.T, us gentlemanly con iliietois, give their personal and ubiiuitoui attend ance to the comfort ol their guest . Tlieir genial counienanecs alone tin nish 'certificates ol charac ter," and those who know them will need no oilier. .Mr. Williams is a gentleman of great experience III his business, He was one ol the originators of the Keveie House iu lioston, which has acquited such universal lame. He has spent many ye.ais 111 tne occupancy ol important stations at the Uniled Slates Hotel, at Saialoga , at liathbun's Hotel, and I lie Franklin House, m New- Vork, and has learned " ju-t how the iliing should be done." Mr. I'ci.t was, I'or a length of time, the first assistant of Col. II he, iu Ins popular management of this sitae Ho tel, and is certainly one ol the lines', fellows I ever met. Vou will agree with me, Oeneral, that in a rcry extensive Hotel, notwithstanding elegance ma abound 10 prolusion, and everything at hand w hich heart could wish, jet there is one thing alwajs lack ing and that is a home-like Jtrltug. When you emer thi'e immense dormitories- the Astoror Irving that feeling stajs outside, despiie all your elforts liut ill a perlect iyiix ot a Holel like ilu.s.a man feels it home, at least did,) the moment lie enters its lorinla. In conclusion, then, I would say to those vlio appieci ite these anilines ami who are parlia 10 order and comlort iu perfrtion who wish nil the Jelicaeies o the season served up in superb style b) (olile wallers, nnd at moderate prices and who um't object 10 lieing cauicdifrnnd speedily toand Ikiiii Ihe cars, go to the llellows Falls Hotel , nnd it )it do not leave perfectly satisfied, why Haiti gn iiiuia, that's all. ltespectlully yours, u. s. 11.
