Our city in the last few weeks has assumed qui
a lively and business like appearance.
Every thoroughfare leading to this place isdai
filled and crowded with wagons, carnages and v
: hides of every kind, swne corning in richly Joai
ed with tha yearly produce of the so;:, and othc
returning with their supplies of goods and rroc
ries for the country trade.
And the tide of emigration is already very eres
Numbers of substantial farmers from vanons pn
tior.s of the republic are pushing on to the f
west to open and settle new homes in rs immen
i and unexplored wilderness.
The road from Memphis through this place
Red river is, we are credibly informed, “ crowdi
and lined” with caravans of emigrants, and th
they stiU continue in undmunished number?
pour across the Mississippi on this route to tliffe
ent sections of this State and to Texas. Ho
clearly does this fact demonstrate the great u'.ih
iof a good substantial road from souic point on t]
Mississippi river to the interior of this State.
Facilities at th? entrance would be the mea

advantage, and every section and portion wthi
soon feel and acknowledge its influence. Tl

O' We copy below an extract from a letter
Gov. Lowe of Maryland, to the President of t!
United States in regard to the outrage at Christ
anna. It is from Die executive of a State that h;
acquiesced in the passage of the compromise bn.
It is, and must be regarded as the voice of a pc- p.
who have for the sake of the Union peaceably ai
i quietly yielded rights dear to their mterests ai
their honor. It is a warning to the unsusper’ii
and the unbeliever, to stop in theit wild and ru:
career. It is in plain and beautiful language, at
feeiingly expresses the fours of the Governor, it
the latent causes of dissolution are more to 1
I dreaded, than those which have heretofore agitau
^ the surface of the water.' . Will out union-ios.
President take heed ? Will he exert ins authoti
to apply the only corrective; and that is, a in
complete vindication of the law. and the fulie
I retribution upon the criminals. We quote ti
foi.owing glowing passage :
” One thing is very clear, and it is ih.-t, tl«
Maryiand would not remain one day in the coufed,
racy; if finally assured either that the power? -
the federal government were inadequate, or th;
the public option of the uonstaxeh . ding Sta:<
was adverse to the pro ection of the rights, i bertu
and lives of her eU.7.ens. If the Union ;s to l
merely a union of minority s’aves to majority ti
rants, then, indeed, our government has failed .

the better. This, I assure you, sir, is the sent
nient of the pifiotie south, the am*rrva!m* souti

the ni.nds of men, than this late iraredv. N >rwi

A Trlpplo Alliance. !
• > By • late arrival from Europe we learn that a ,<
» treaty hat been eater**) into by France and Eng
d j land with Spain, gnaranteemg to the latter the
a Island of Cuba. The colorable and ostensible
» i reason far this alliance is, as we are informed, to
e secure to the people of Cuba a representative in
t! the Spanish Cortes, an article to which effect be- i
e [ mg inserted in the treaty. Bat the real reason j
e j and the moving cause is this glaring rnd unparal
e i leled piece of effrontery is far different from the
e one assigned. WecaRii.it turn to the past end
fi' scan the p'tsilatumoas conduct of ou:government
1! without emotions of the moat painful and mortify
u mg character, Its whole course in regard to this
!. Cuban affair, from tbe firs' proclamation of the
i- {‘resident, denouncing thure of our citizens who
1 engaged in the expeditious to Cuba, as lawless
bands of robbers and pirates, to tbe time whin
i- the gallant Crittenden aud bis unfortunate men,
>f. taken captives in a foreign land, were literally
is suffered to be dune to death without trial, and
i- i contrary to treaty stipulations. President Fillmore
c . and his wandering cabinet, by this ar. American
0 and-unprecedented action, has now* brought our
government into a shameful and disgraceful di
- lemma. England and France, relying upon their
n aid and countenance, unites with Spam, and for
ji the miserable form of a local Cuban legislature
f which can pass no iaw without tbe royal assent,
it! and a representative to the nominal thing—the
d ; Spanish Cortez—stiplates to guarantee to Spain
i- j the possession of the Island of Cuba. Theosten
i- sibtc reason for this interfeiaace ou the port of
r, ! these two governments being far too inadequate,
1 ll is supposed and reported, ibat there is a treaty
clause pointing to the gradual emancipation of the
i* slaves.
if Cuba by its position commands the entire Gulph
n of Mexico—and in the hands of a powerful cne
my, an enemy to our laws and institutions, is ca
pabie not only of seriously distressing our south
orn and western commerce, but of sapping our
; very laws and institutions. This has long been
the favorite policy of the English government, and
most anxiously and impatiently has stie abided her
| tune. We know not what may have been the
' ulterior views and design., of the President and
", hts cabinet. The circumstances of tbe case as
suredly place them iti a most suspicious position.
r' It has long been predicted by the sages of our
country, that Cuba, like a ripe pear, would fall into
our lap. In point of commercial interest, as well as
national defence, the Island has always been to this
government an object of the greatest solicitude.
lr Webster and Fillmore suspect, if they do not feel
>v assured, that at no distant period it must be .n
corporated into the Union. It is so written, and
statesmen cf their za.a -its, having read. Wish to

1 planting another thorn in the side of the south.
If Cuba comes into this confederacy, she will then
. come, like t'tab and New Mexico, with her itx
loci, an mui-tlatfry Stitt. The course of oh *
, government has invited this s'. p, and FiHmoie and
Wtbsvr being northern m n of free sful feeling,
i the inference is inevitable. The s0i‘th is to bed;
surrounded and hemmed in, and then—who wilHl
ir

id What John Uni! thinks c< ns.
ie An article in the London Merchant, with a treat
f- deal of frankness and truth speaks of the gigantic
;r strides the I’nited States are making towards
e national prosperity and greatness,
m It says, “ we have no desire at present to enter
upon any question of d.sputed policy; bat we wish
.' to record our opinion, that the empire of the seas
must, before long, be ceded to America; its per
*; . . ■
severing enterprise, its great commerce, and its ac
cruing wealth are certain to secure this prize; nor
' will England be in a situation to dispute it with
' her."
j This testimony to our rising greatness, longsince
our due, has been withheld through a spirit of en
vy. jiva.ry and jealousy. The English as a people
' have derided, jeeicd and scoffed a‘, us. They have
11 decried our inventive genus; they have doubted
‘ our increasing wealth and consequent prosper;'.) ;
I they have undervalued ourcustoms, our laws and
our institutions, and they have always underrated
oru national strength and greatness.
Still the I'nited Stales have been steadily pro
■ grossing. They have improved and multiplied
* their agricultural pursuits and productions; they
*' r ai e extended their commerce to every "nook and
e corner” of the habitable globe—and they are now
f successfully striving and competing with the pau
II per labor cf Europe in the manufacturing branch of
, industry.
j Since the memorable day of the Declaration of
s Independence, her progress has been with the
s most asjomshiur and unparalleled rapidity, “ up
e ward and onward."
n At the great fair of London, in inventions of
d of ut.iity, she far outstripped every coutendnig na
tion. and in her triumph wrung from a jealous rival
jj a r-luctant applause.
Ei But of ail her victories she sit-ins to have been
a ! m ■>’. happy in the great sailing contest, in which
* j an American ya. ht l-ore off triumphantly the dia
‘ | puled prize.
This victory taught the Ilr.tish nation a sad les
j son—it opened their eyes to a most melancholy
fa.*! that in sh.n hnililnLr no
far inferior to their neighbors “ over the water.”
It has taught the English to view the einbryotic
effnts of their infant r.vai in their true light.
The London Merchant winds up its editorial up in
America with thisgrtal and to us must flattering
admission
" America, as the mistress of the ocean, must
overallwie the emitted world. -!
The idea of ovcrstriding th civil,red world may
aj-.pear grand and everting to the.ofgancf’4 nation
of shopkeepers’ whose aim has ever been tonwoo
f>",7 the trade and check the ludustsy and prut
pery of ail other nations, and whose poher has
i-ti to have ijis and colonies aud 0 1M11, r ,■ as
the means of mating the world tributary to rtse’f.
but such is not the American idea ot national great •
M r, or of a noble destiny for • people. America
dr-ores not to overstride th< -a »rtd, but to tr*- r—
subjugate other nairons and rates, hut to enable
them to become endowed with republican liberiy,

The pretty little quarrel m the wh;gcamp abont
the registership bids fair to create a d:v ivi m in the
ranks. The meeting of the whig general commit
tee to-night, is supposed to be in reference to ’hit
matter. I should not be surprised to see it end in
a general smash. At any rate, I anticipate a grand
ilareup in the whig party, before the election, nw
1 mg to the “in*'’ refusing to concede the right of
! nfrt an in oj&ct to trie “ ou!s.” Simeon Draper,
! for instance, will not quietly give up his govern
orship of the alms-house, without a struggle; and
■ S;ta is fully capable o! getting up a “ grand move
ment.” All the lead, rs of the fighting crowds
i have not been going to Sim’s office for nothing,
; every hour of the day for the last two weeks.—
Sim has an end in view; and what that end is will
be made apparent or next Monday evening, when
the primary elections of the party take place.
Thus it is ever. The whig party is a g~K>d op
postjion or minority party; but success spoils whig*
and makes them immediately begin to quarrel.
Tfe democrats of this city convened m laret
numbers last Tuesday night at Tammany Ha...
when tiie resolutions adopted at the Syracuse con
vention were read and unanimously approved.—
Col. John E. Thomas presided, and the m eting
was eloquently addressed by several distinguished
speakers.
The news brought by the CmjJj, that negotia
tions have been entered into by the Spanish gov •
eminent, with the governments of England ar.<!

Countenanced by the people of the United .-"ate
While European powers would resist any attempt
1 by the United States to enforce Republican insti
tutions in Italy or Hungary, we must be equaiiv
decided in resisting a Kuiopean alliance for the tn
1 forcemeat of desp tism upon the people of Cuba,
of Canada, of Mexico, or of the central American
States. All our inf're*la, as well as every princi
pie of our republicanism urge us to make this our
settled policy. The occasion is presented, and au
opportunity is now offered us, to make a d.stiact
andV(r.p’»atic enunciation f this policy. We are
in a position to do so, without fear or hesitation:
and it behooves us, for the sake of our republican
dignity, and for the prevention of a.l future misap
prehension and difficulty, to thus use the present
’ occasion.
I hope that our Government will plainly andun
hesiletungly inform L- wis Napoleon, that he cau
not re-enact his Italian policy on this c iibneiit.
In the western hemisphere, or, a: any rate, in
North America, the United State* must !. .tl
supreme power, and republicanism the controlling
principle. The dictation of despotisms, or of mon
archies, or the policy which the.r interests may
dictate to them, must not be allowed to influence
our policy. As Mr. Clay said, long since, “we
must no longer watch the nod of any Eu'opean
i power.”/
And*, what are the grounds on whiclr-Franrc
and England league w ith .Spain, to perpetuate her
power in Cuba ! First, we are told, that without
its wealth and revenues Spam would sink into
utter insignificance, and that to prevent her from
losing her position in the scale of nations, she
must have Cuba to rob and plunder. To keep up
an artificial balance of power in Europe, Fran c
and England, think that Cuba must continue to
be ma^p the public purse of Spam, and they want
to make the United States a party to Hits policy.
BuUthe money-brokers of England, whose power
is immense, urge another ground. Thdy have
speculated in loans to Spam, to support the pr :li
gacy and licentiousness of her court and govern
ment; and their pay and profits must be extracted
by Spain from her Cuban serfs. If they should

"General Seo*t is afraid of-his rear again.—

They were overtaken while in Grayson county, by
j live <*r six white men of Grayson. The negroes
were armed with knives, spears, and wish one or
two weapons made of broken English scythes,
i The » bite men had one or two guns. Tr.e negroes
' c.ssailtd the whites, and the scythes were us- l
with terrible effect. Samuel Bartlett was struck

into tiio brain an inch or two the whole length “f
the head. He lived ab ut tight hours. Alfred
Bartlett, his brother, who had a gun, aud who
tired it merely to wound, u attempting to r< lieve
his brother, hud ins left wrist and hand badly cut
—almost severed from the arm. Vet, after this, he
knocked two of the negroes down, and left ttk.n

! had stabbed a Mr. Wilcox, whom he had under
him on the ground, through the neck, and w;s in
1 the act of indicting a more deadly wound, when
I ihus prevented by the wounded Bartlett. John
Clements was struck by oue of the negroes, who
used a scythe across hu> head, and his skuit was
cloved from temple to temple—tt. brain cut in

Vmcm.—It was understood when Mr. Corw n
entered the cabinet lhat there was entire hauriu
uy, if not cordiality of feeling, between that gen
tleman aud the present able and accomplished
edilot of the K< public, upon the ground of their
t-iiiiimu b istili y to the compromise, and their
couunun approbation of lien. Taylur'i anticom
promise policy, rlutthe Republic’s sorenexs alum!
Uaiphnimni is well known, and it >a to Mr. Cor

pre sent course in impeaching that gentleman a ve
racity.
