stF* The Anti-Cinal pirty in their dis?
tress hive got IX-Go*/, Mircy to write a
letter condemning the Cinil bill. He
takes great care, however, not to say a
word in favor of the course of the resign?
ing Senators. He may op|*'>se the bill,
but be cannot approve of defeating it in in
unconstitutional and revolutionary way.
Such must be the sentiment of all but the
mere instruments of pirty chiefs. Nor do
we see how men who think with Mr.
Mircy cm vote fir the re? ection of any
of the f-tampeding legislators No matter
wblt tbey may think of the bill itself, it is
their plain duty to brand the late i ^organ?
ization of the Legislature with emphatic
disapprobation.

The quarrel between Krsnce and tbe Saadwich
Islands baa broken out again, under circumstances
Which have an important bearing on the tutur0
destiny of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Our Califor?
nia maile bring ue full particulara of the atate of
atfairi. Aa tbe origin of the dispute may not be
faro 'K-to most of our readers, ? e will briefly
recapitulate the facts.
> sVea **aaea ear- - j - ?-? ?-- -?-J- Vu
tween England, France and the Band ? ich
Islands, in which tbe independence of tbe latter
country was guaranteed by the two former. One
of tho a'.ipulations in that treaty was, that goods
iaiported in British or Freni-h vessels should noj
be subject to a duty of more than five per cent.
ad valorem, except " wines and spirituous li
.juors," tbe duty upon which was to be optional
with tho Hawaiian Government, provided it did
not amount to absolute prohibition Soon after
this, tbe duty upon " wine" and liquors," includ
ing beer and ale, was tixed at per gallon. Tbe
British Government remonstrated Against tbe
tax, on the grouad that beer and ale could not be
classed aa wines or spirituous liquors, and after
some discussion, this distinction was admitted
and tbe articles were allowed to be introduced
under the regular live per cent, ad valorem duty
The French Government thereupon claimed that
French winea and brandies should be received
on the same terms, and tbe $.*> per galbn tax al?
ready collected, refunded in full. As this claim
was in direct conflict with the terms of the treaty
,t WJ.B at once refused. The French naval forces,
then in tbe barbor of Honolulu, took violent pos?
session oS tbe fortres , which they held for sere
ral days. This event, which occurred about eight?
een months ago, was tbe commencement cf tbe
aggressive course whi h has since been pursued
by France.
At the Iut account* the French authorities n0|
only demanded a repeal of the duty on wines and
brandies, a manifest violation of their previou*
compact, but insisted, with singular absurdity,
that because two members of the Haw..an atin
istry hsppened to be a Scotohnikn and an Ameri?
can, (Mr. Wyllie and Mr. Judd) a Frenchman
should also be hosen to the Cabinet of King
Kamehameha. Another demand is, that the
French and American missionaries should be
placed upon an equal footing, with regard to the
funda devoted by Government to the anpportof
tbe missionary enterprise. It was also com.
Ltianded that all orrespondeLce between the two
Governments should be carried on in French, not*
withstanding the weil known fact tbat the Eng.
lish is spoken throughout the Islands, and has
been declared the oilkial language of the coun
try, in account of the poverty of the Hawaiian
tongue. The frivolous and ridiculous character of
these demands needs no showing
Such, it appears, was the ultimatum sent to the
Hawaiian Government, with the declaration that
if the demands were not complied with by tbe
kVth of March, the fortress would be again seixed
and the port blockaded. The Government con?
tinued firm in its intention to resist so shame?
less an imposition, and. it was generally believed,
would throw itself under the protection of tba
I cited States. The Ban Francisco papers assert
with confidence that the American colore will
ba at onca adopted, in ease i f an attach. The
Americana constitute a large majority of the
foreign residents at Honolulu, tnd the commerce
of the Islands with California and Oregon is now
equal to their entire trade with England aad
Franc?. I nder these circumstance*, it ? easy
to foresee that the Government, in cas- of actual
contact, will receive all poaaibl* sympathy and
aid from oar citizens.
It is probable that oar Government, f appealed
to by the Hawaiian hliog and Ministry, will inter
pose its mechative influence. Tne Californiaas,
however, will hardly wait for the aiow result of
official communications We have no doubt that
h a few weeas after the news of tbe bloekads of
BofloloJn idatJl have retched Sen Francisco, more
than one ihip load of adventurous allies will lead
on tbe Hawaiian shores That Ibe Band wish
Islands will, at do remote day, be incorporated
into the American Republic, ii recognized on tne
Pacific Coaat aa a manifest deatiny. Tne geogra?
phical position of the Islands, the general prede
]ictions of their inhabitants, and the intimate com?
mercial relations already established between
them and the ports of California and OlSSjOSS
point directly to this resalt. We do not now dis?
cuss the question whether such an event would
be desirable; we mention it aa an inevitable con?
sequence of our growth in the West. How far
the present difficulty with France will hasten its
advent, remains to be seen.
The Upeclal ?*???? FlaettwH.
The Whigs of Bchoharie County recommend
Thomas Smith of Cobleakill lbrtbeBtate Senate,
in the X Vllth District, in place of 8idney Tattle,
one < f tbe fugitives, who has again been nom?
inated.
In the XXth District, it is said that Asshel C.
Stone (Fugitive) wu re-nominated, and that fore
sseicg the utter hopelessness of his cause in
Oswego and Madison, he declined. Hon. Charlea
Stebbins of Madison County wa? thee offered the
nomination, bat whether he has accepted is not
ststed. However, tbe friends of tho Csnal Ea
largement, without distinction of party, are ral'
lying to the support of Mo*es P. Hatch of Os?
wego, late a Member of Assembly.
In the 1st Senatorial District, AxiXAITDII
Hadden of Uueens County has been nominated
as the Whig opposition of Wm. H. Brown, one
of the 'twelve.'
New Hampshire.?The Governor and Council,
bsving opened and counted the votes for Senator*
have declared officially that seven Opposition and
twoWhig members are chosen, and that there are
three vacancies to be filled by the Legislature.
Later from Ha\ aha.? Our files of the F-iro
Indvttrxal of Havana, by the El Dorado, reach
to the 11th inst, and our correspondence to the
12th. No event of importance hae transpired
since former advices. Two young Creoles, ar
rested in the interior, were brought up to Havana,
but it was not known whether tbey were seized
for political reasons. It was generally believed
that Mr. Christopher Madan would be acquitted,
as the Military Commission, appointed to try him,
had given his friends assurance to that ei'ect.
Mr. Bombalier, who had been loand guilty by the
same tribunal, left for Cadiz on the 101b. Gen
Persifer F. Smith was in Havana, having lost ar.
rived from CsJiforaia, on bis way to Texas, to
which station he has been ordered. He was to
sail for New-Orleans on the afternoon of the Lath,
;n tbe schooner Fairy.
The Faro of the ''th puf-Iished a letter of in?
structions, signed by "Narciso Lopez," and dated
"New-Orleans, Nov. P, lrOO." He declarea his
intention of landing on the Cuban coast, in a short
time, and promises that, in ten days afterward, an
American General will also land, with a strong
force. He calls on the inhabitants to take up
arms, and if tbey fear an attack, to retire to the
mountains between Manaatiales and Cape St.
Antonio. He advises tbem to destroy the most
important parts of the Railroads, so at to render
them useless , also to seize the public funds, to
assist in arming and maintaining the forces. He
recommends great care in organizing the troops
designed to assist in the conquest, and requeata
complete information of all that transpires.
From Ni ara(.< a.?Advices from Ssn Juan
de Nicaragua to the id inst., give some explana?
tion of late rumors in relation to the evacuation
of tho place by tba British forces. The people,
it appears, have received permission to elect a
Council for tbe Government of the place, bat the
election must rirst be approved by the British
ConS"1- Five rnemhar* nf th* Pnnnr>%\. tWfl of
whom were Americans, had been elected for the
term of one year. This fact had created a gen
eral feeling of satisfaction among the inhabittnta,
who regarded it as tho first step toward the re'
linquiehmeDt of the British guardianship of the
place. Tbe town was rapidly improving in ap?
pearance.
From Honduras? We have received files ol
HcDdaras papers lo the ?th ult. There ts little news
Tbe snhjtci of a Lew Constitution had been engaging pub?
lic aileutlon for the last three or four weeks?aad ou iba
"tii several propcaitlona were adopted and passed ss tbe
l asts on wblcb ti tt to be framed.
Complaints are made of the present system of steamer
communication Tbe steamer Cooway arrived at Belize
Buaday, 2Ctb, and sailed again In a f? w hours, barely giv?
ing lime to ibe mercbacu aad oiners in town to answer
their correspondence. Tbe cause of her detention wat
waiting for ibe tranaatlanilc steamer, which did not arrive
ai St Thomas ucUl l*w days after bar lime.
Some excitement bad been occasioned by an alleged
ease of smuggling on hoard tbe American brig Bristol at
the port of Be - Two casks of trendy were found jd
board, at a one only was on tbe manifest.
From Yi catan ?We learn by way of Beiige
ibat there were reports that ibe ladlacs had entered baa
|ar and laid ovary thing waste?but were repulsed by the
Spaniards, wbo still continue In possession of tbe town -
This It a repetition of former news received via Havana.
BT??J This evening the sixth of Jennt Lin hi
farewell series of concerts takes place at Castle

from Mozart a magic flute and S-juaitia vette t

OPENING OF THE ERIE RAILROAD.
THE SECOND DAT.
Prom oar own Reporter.
It was not until midnight thtt the light of the
illuminttion in the windows of Elmira died sway
and the last rocket abot into tbe air aad the
'ast horn blew. The next morning at ft, we
were all aroused again, and after a gx>d break?
fast, found oar way through tbe Tillage to the
train. There were two traine, bat no one wished
to go except in that which carried the President.
This Isy a little ahead upon the track, with its
long line of banners. Bat the other stoo i tempt
ngly close to the platform. The Pres!lent was
not yet there?no one knew where he wu
Harry Franco and your correspondent, arter a
great deal of delicate finessing in the way of in.
quiry of conductors and other officials, succeeded
in getting into the wrong train, whieh wu the
one lying ahead upon the track. We fancied
however, that we were all right, and smiled oh '
plscently upon sciue friends who seated them
selves in the other. But the whistle rsog wild
over the broad hill girdled plain upon which E!
mira stsnda?and away we ran, cp tbe valley o(
the Chemung, which is bordered by fertile, well
cultivated farming lands, and which is being ra?
pidly netted with Railroads. The blossoming
orchards in the eary morning were beautifally
relieved against the massive gloom of the hem
lock mountain sides. From the wavy, winding
road there were lined, deep vistu throagh the
val ej?looking at which, we had full time to do
justice to such associations u Talleyrand, Louis
PhLippe, and his two younger brothers, could give
to Elmira, where they staid a abort time, in 1793,
while in exi'e.
At the various ststions which we passed, tbe
people were waiting, sometimes ab'e to eec only
that i: wrs a train, ao swift was our speed, some
times able to wave a handkerchief?and some,
times evea seeing and hearing "the prominent
men." At one place we eaw them atu?ing tbe
cannon with clover for wadding, and at another
the match waa a red hot poker, kept at the right
beat in a brazier. At one of the stations, after
Mr. Webster had spoken he aat in the car by the
open window, upo.i the side where the people
stood. A universal introduction commenced im?
mediately, and tbe ladies insisted upon a pre
sentation. Among others, one more ea e: than
the rest seized the hand of the Secretary of State
with the greatest eathusium, "How do you do
Mr. Webster f" Thegrest expounder looked at
the woman with constitutional gravity for several
moments, and then said solemnly, and in his most
guttural tones, " Madam, it is a lovely day." Mrs
Wilhine was also determined to see the Presi.
dent, and for that purpose pushed into the car
where he wu and ahook his hand violently, and
then turnirg round, heedless 01 tbe warning
whistle, she beckoned her husband, " Here, Wil
kins, come here?this is the President. Mr. Pres?
ident, 'his is my husband, Mr. Wilkins." Batby
this time the train wu off, and was stopped again
to permit Mrs. Wilkins and hasband to leave the
Presidential presence.
At Caniateo a pretty Hag was presented, sta?
ting that the Erie Railroad wu " the ne plus
ultra of human enterprises.' We were here
running along one of the most level grades of the
route, extending some MO miles, and at length
reached Hornellsville, where the train stopped.
Meanwhile, the President and party, who had
itarted in the second train, had been ingeniously
smuggled into the first, and at this station our
rear friends came running forward to join oar
train. At Hornellsville all the dignitaries said a
'ew congratulatory words, to which, u usual, the
crowd liatened in solemn silence, giving three
measured hazzas at the end, but <jutte too much
su-prised at the occuion and its guests to indulge
in any noisy enthusiasm.
Mr. Sew aro said; " I have always come to you
promising, bat now tbe work is done and my vo
-ation is gone. I can only congratulate you
Uuod bye "
Mr. Douglas, Senator from Illinois, said
" This is tbe greatest work 1 have ever seen?not
alone of New-York, but of the whole country. I
?ome from the West, from the Mississippi valley,
through which the continuation of this road will
toon extend. I am proud and happy to be here.
Mr. Douglas is a very fluent and pleuant
speaker, and has a great deal of popular magne?
tism. Mr. Hall and Mr. Graham and Mr. Critten
len all said tbe good things that the telegraph
nstantly told jou in New-York, and tbe Conduc.
tor having divided the Cabinet by putting Mr
Webster and Mr. Crittenden nto the rear train
we all went forward again.
The vaiiey of the Caniateo is very sequestered
and solitary. Its little towns have still an air of
hardy thrift. They seem the sturdy seed which
the fostering steam-influences shall expand into
goodly inland cities. Ail along tbe valley, and for
k distance of 160 miles, we pass the line of piles,
one of tbe early mistakes of the building upon
he road. Tbey were driven into the ground and
wxiden sleepers were to have been lain across
th -m for the roa I But a plan so miserable, that
it is wonderful how it could have ever i>een
adopted, soon revealed its fatal defects, and the
work wu abandoned. Now, to uso the touching
words of the Erie Railroad Guide, tbey " stretch
mournfully across 'be meadows, like the ruined
arches of a viaduct across the Reman Campagna."
We pus Almond, Bakers bridge, Andover and
Gsnesee, and here we enter the valley of the
Genesee river, aad race 10 miles along its hanks
At Phillipsburg we cross the river, and so circuL
tots is the line from Hornellsville that it wu
proposed to construct a tunnel through the moun?
tains. Bat the road has neither a tunnel, inclined
piueor drawbridge along its whole length.
The Secretary of tbe Company, Mr. Marsh, wu
a perfect Sir Walter Raleigh in the matter of cL
gars, and his courtesy in dispensing the winning
weed to ail smokers. Hut even the cigars of so
great generosity may not be exhaustless, aad it
wu with satisfaction that we knew we were ap
proaehing Cuba. The rough fences of pine roots,
scrawling and scraggy, might have well pused in
the moonlight for tropical aloes, and the day had
a moist, rieb atmosphere so that?with cur light,
ning speed?wu it not probabiy tbe veritable
mother ol genuine Havana* ' V\ hen the traia
stopped, however, President Fillmore smiled and
said ; " Gentlemen?Another Cuba hu recently
given us a good deal of trouble. I know not
where, however, sooner than here, I would wish
to go to escape trouble . but believe me ti.at this
is entirely a peaceful invasion, and tbe caaaoo
roared axd the flags waved, and off we ro?ed
again.
We are cow upon the mountain n Ige that sep.
arates tha Allegheny Vslley bsaw that of the
Ueneaee, and are descending toward the water4
that flow by Pittsburgh and belong to tbe Wee1
?and at length, a mile from the road, we see the
little villageof Olean. This wu the pointthrough
which, bet?re the construction of the Erie Canal j
passed the great stream of 6oothern and WesV
era emigration. Twenty years ago a steamer
ascended tbe Allegheny u tar u Olean. Ia 131s
there was no white inhabitant upon the Alleghe?
ny below Olean.
These facts show that we are tar away from
tbe metropolis. Tbe mountain sides are strewn
wilt the blackened and smoaiag trunks of noble
trees It ia the way they clear the land here, aa
if timber were only rubbish to be made swsy with
aa rapidly aa poasible. L um bor waa firat taken
down tbe Allegheny in ItXH.
The river here flows through tbe spacioas and
finely forested valley, with pjMlM reaches or
rippling, glaiay watera. under the trees that grow
along tbe very margin. There are some few shan"
ties bore?a few houses, but st Nine Mile Creek
we cross into the Indian Reservation?a region
cf pare wilderness, on whi:h there are 1,000
Indiana of tbe Seneca tribe, among whom are
some Cavugas and Ooondagas, who thought they
j had secured 40 miles square of territory, bat dia
I covered upon arriving there that they had 40
; square miles. A phvs;:ian named Drittle, who
went among the Indians here, was of so great
service to tbem that tbey persuaded him to remain
aad he was always afterward cslled ? Dohttlo
Good.'" The Indians at thia point call the Alle?
gheny tbe Ohio.
With that pleasant bet making the whole
region, the neighborhood of the Rocky mountains
?we sped along by the Allegheny, while Sena
tor Douglas unfolded splendid plans of Pacific
Hallways by which within twelve yeara we
should p!y from tbe Atlantic shore to San Fran?
cisco upon the Pacific iu : ve days?aad all thia
be would build by tho same means that the
great Chicaeo road was building, after lying mor
? bund for several years. Propoaals so large sta?
ted with the arithmetical preciai >a of s mathe?
matician and Statesman instead of being the tits
ted dreams of s poet, were the proper subjects
for the incredible speed at which we went,?some?
times at the rate of forty-live miles an hoar. It
was entirely impossible snd mal aprop to speak
of arjy railroad under tight hundred miles in
length or of any company except that of Preai
dents, Senators and Governors. But it waa curi
ous to see in 8enator Douglas the genuine Arueri
ciin statesman. We Eastern men are all more or
iris mongrel. We have an English education
and French manners. Our models snd types are
usually from the other aide of the ses. It is im.
possible not to remsrk that Webster remembers
Burke and Pitt, aud has moulded bimielf upon
th td, unwilling to allow a ipeech to be angar
mihed with poetical |uotations?even Latin and
Greek? mainly, we fancy, beoauie tbe model
speeches hsve such ornaments. But the Western
man ia as original as the Indian. He is especial?
ly American . and a Senator of great ability and
fame, sets curled up on a seat, amoking hn friend,
ly cigar, chatting with everyone about every
thing?having no separate atmosphere of dignity
snd wishing to be among the first, intellectually,
by no other right than he would claim the place
physically?that is, by actual auperiority. As a
gentleman very happily said, " llr. Douglas has
plenty of loose chsng..-, Mr Webster has nothing
but ?90 notes."
In the Indian Reaervation we came suddenly,
in one of the broadost and mos: characteristic
points of the valley, upon several groups of Indians
clustered together, wrapped in their brilliant nt
tive costume, red and yellow blankets and elabo?
rate mocasins and large, lustrous metal orna?
ments. One particular group stood a little back
upon a wood pile and close to the shore of the
river, a sumptuous strain oi savagery among the
natural and artistic splendors of this great wsy.
These were genuine Indians, the women with
shining, but soft black eyei and straight black
hair, one with a pap ose stretched upon a board
and bound to her back. The men were still and
stern. They atood entirely impassible. There
was something almost defiant in the rigid erect
neis snd solemnity of their mien, but the women
looked with passionless curioaity upon the eager,
sharp featured, brow wrinkled, pale faces List
dashed with such shrill shrieks and des/jointr
rattle through the aboriginal and majestic toil"
tudes of these mountsin vaiiies.
An Indian warrior of unusual cultivation snd
intelligence requested to see General Jackson,
a.-d did not seem readily to comprehend why his
request was not complied with. But Dr. Wilson,
the Indian agent and himself an Indian, waa here
taken up ou the train, and we left toe beautify
and picturesque groups upon the banks of tho Ai.
legheny?by far tbe moat striking form ot lifo that
the course of the road presents?nud bowled on?
ward into Chautauque county, in which the first
white child was born iu 180*. It is in the ex?
treme south western corner of the S ate, and has
been more like part of a Western than of tmi<M!o
State, as iti trade has hitherto a''.ays passed
down the Allegheny aud the f)hi?. T e Erio
Railroad, as Goveraor tie ward sad, "annexea
Chautauque to the State " It has now t p .puia
Mon of ?0,000, bu: the country seems often like
the Western wilderness.
At Day t jn, near the line of Chautauque in Cat
taraugua County, a melancholy acoident occurred
Three men had charge of a gun, with orders t,,
tire when they first heard the trait and again
when they tint saw it- It bad been heard and
the gun had been on e fired, aud two men stood
?wabbing out and were hurrying to load, while
the third stood with the match, intensely excited
and solely intent upon the train which he had
never seen The moment tappeare J he touched
the cannon with ? match, while the other men
were directly in front of it, aud blew otf 'heir
arms and broke their legs. They wert, however,
living when we returned the next morning.
Leaving the Allegheny valley, we ran along the
mouotaiu side, looking down wsrd bundrsds of feet
over the tree tops, into a wild valley. The scenery
here is grand and imposing in the highest degree
It is, however, merely the combination of steep
mountain aides, shaggy with forests, with tho
level, open reach beneath, covered with burnt
stumps, yet smoking, and wrapping the b-ses or
the hills in azure fleece
But as we harry along through this primeval
forest, we reach an open space, -0 miles from
Lake Erie, where Ihe train atops and a thousand
eyes look from the receding slope of tho mountain
over primeval hemlocks to an endless horizon, and
a long thin stiver streak in tho gloomy tjreen, is
the lun sparkling surface of Lake Kriu. It was
like looking over the whole Weit. Imagination
bebeld that solemn forest stretching andimiuisaed
to the Rccay Mountains
The whole compsny drew one long brestb and
gave it out again in a more enthusiaatic shout
than we had yet heard. There was univeral
kindness and eicitemect. Harry Fraaco gave
way^to a violent attack of punning and lace*
fetal fury, that had affected nun at intervals
throughoat the whole journey, These puns and
the Dayton accident werj the sola melancholy
featurea of the trip. A few momenta after, wo
pasted under a green arch of triumph and were at
Denkixk, which was given over to a frenzy of de?
light. Roofs, windows and doors, were crowded
with esger fsces?the bells rang?tbe csunon
reared, and the voices ofuoooo people pealed to?
gether in a mighty about of jubilee laiufjug this
stupendous success. Gov. Hunt stood tfttl the
platform, and the free and independent citizens of
Dunkirk stood st their own sweet wills opoa the
platform, one elderly diacipls of Bacchus remark
that " there d never be eich a crowd ia Dunkirk
egia, unless the resurrection should be eppioted
there." Exasperated Harry l'ranao and bis friend
found their wsy to the Bymposism, or Railroad
Depot, reeking with the fumes of two barbacu.?d
oxen, while tbe guests and Directors formed s
prooessioQ and marched to the same spot.
