-As n-jic iCJ justice, we publish below the
letter of Mtf: A i F. " Owen,' American; Consul
at H.rana,-t ill relation t-yss -eatinent or
the forty':Aericins , w he were . exeo ted at
Havava ML.te 16th cf A uenst list. - 'Thatfcoa-
'6e4"irrvThe-dte of-his' letter is one month
aXter theexecution "of the - forty" Americans, ,to
save whom, he made no effort ; so that he has
had ample time to prepare his defence. And
what does this defence arrWrunt to? Why that
Mr 0k8 was .tardy in arriving on the morning
of theflSth of August at.tlve post where bis du
ties called him; and that after arriving there he'
made tio effort to save tbe lives of those unfortu
nate ven,who had fallen into, the hands of the
Spanish authorities, because he thought lie would
not have time to ett'ect anything. Thiai is a most
lameand pitiful plea. As the representative of
a great nation, nay as a man having those feel-
ingss common to humanity, it was li is duty to
make an effort in behalf of those unfortunte cap
tives."5 , In another part of our paper, we present the
circular letter of Mr J. S. Thrasher, formerly the
Editor of the Faro Industrial at Havana, and
also the cards of certain of the prisoners. In
what a light do these communications place Mr
O.wen before the public! What a contrast is
presented between his conduct and that of Mr
Crawford, the British Consul, and his secretary
Mr Smith ! Mr Owen visits the prisoners once,
and then up to the time when the card in relation
to his treatment of them is published, steadily
refuses to visit them, either in his private or
official capacity. He tells them that "the Presi
dent had proclaimed them Without the pale of
the law, and he could do nothing for them."
Mr Smith, the Secretary of the British. Consulate,
on the other hand, acting from th; generous im
pulses of his nature, visited the prisoners twice
daily, administered to their comfojrtfnd by his
efforts in their behalf greatly impm'vyd- their
condition. How humiliating to every true
American must be'lhe contrast between the cod-
duct;of Mr Owen and that of the British Official!
But it was nolTto be expected that a man who
would ouietlv and. without making the slightest
ir- n iwk Kah.lf. refer fyrtjioX .bis country
men to be put to an ignominious death, would
put hirnelf to much trouble to meliorate the
condition of the survivors. It remains yet to be
seen what disjiosition Mr Fillmore will make
of this most unworthy public servant.

CONSULATE OF THE U- STATES.
Havana, Sept. 16, 1851.
To the Editor of the Republic:
Sir: In jour Weekly issue of tlie 28tli
ult. you ilu me tlie justice to object to my
condemnation wmmut a liearinjr, and to
say that I am probably able to explain to
the . satisfaction of rny countrymen, my
omission to act relative to the execution
of the prisoners who were shot on the iGtli
ult.
1 do not doubt that 1 shall satisfy every
impartial mind that I am undeserving
censure, and that I had no opportunity of
floing anything in behalf of the unfortunate
men who met so sad a fate.
I reside about four miles from this place,
and not being well on the morning of the
18th, did not reach my office till some time
after ten n't lock, where for the first time.
1 heard of the capture of about fifty ol the
men. who had come with Lopez to this
island in the steamer Pampero. I at the
same time heard that the prisoners had
been tried, found guilty, condemned, or
dered to be executed, tlie order for their
execution sent forward, and they were
about being removed from the harbor.
where they were, to the place of execu
tion.
Shortly afterwards, the American resid
ing here, who, it is said, called on me,
came and mentioned the subject to me.
when I said to him that it was too late.
and that I could do nothing that 1 should
not have the time to get permission and
see the prisoners, ui uns i leit periectiy
satisfied at the time, and 1 have since been
confirmed in this opinion by the highest
authority in the island, who informed me
that the execution, which had already
been ordered before I reached the. city.
would not hare been postponed for me to
have an interview with the prisoners, inas
much as all 1 could hare asked to be per
mitted to do had been dune by a gentleman
known to some of the prisoners, and for
whom they had sent.
Soon alter the American referred to,
left in y, office, I received the information
that a gentleman known to some of the
prisoners had been sent for by them, ami
to him they had delivered the articles and
messages they desired to be conveyed to
their friends. It was but a short time af
terwards that I sent to the palace of -.the
governor and captain general, and heard
that the prisoners had been executed.
YTou will thus see that I had no time to
tht it was not in my power to d
anvthino" for the unfortunate men who
had
ex-
hien induced to invade cuoa wui me
pectation that they would find the whole
Island in a state of revolution, aud that

THE
WHIG PARTY DEAD
ABOLITIONIZKI),
Once in a while a Whig editor is brought
to aj., knowledge of the truth,, and, what
is quite as desirable, to a frank and. manly
confession.',,: Such is the. following from
the Chambers Tribune, an Alabama paper
edited by Johnson Hooper, who is sfilf
remembered. in these capes We commend
it to the wbigs as a gtm of frankness,
such as they . seldom or never meet) with
in their party organs in this region:
The whig party at Ihe South, as a
party, is as uead as a mackerel.- By the
Presidential election, it 'will be difficult
to find individual specimens of that species
of the great family of politicians.
The reason of this extinction is
obvious. The general rule off" Whig alfifni-
ty, iNortn, is uboiitionwara. j lie excep
tions are barely sufficient .to establish the
rule. We do not know why this is sot
but it is as apparent as the face of the hea
vens. Southern men, therefore, cannot
longer act with tlie national Whiz party.
We in the South never had any immediate
interest in tne esiaoiisnment oi the pro
tective system : but acting in good faith
to our Northern allies, the Sotxhern Whig
party tied itself to an unpopular issue
and fell with it. The return which we
have received for this is a general alliance
of Northern" Whiggery with Abolitionism,
or much the same thing, Free-solism.
Tlie Northern Democracy, as a general
rule, are sound on the slavery question.
It must be confessed that the. Democratic
rule of constitutional construction favor
the south, and although this is a bitter
concession to our Whig pride, truth.
candor, manliness, all compel its utte-
TVttvce:-" ---' : .. . . .
The result nf this condition of public
sentiment, north and south, will be appa
rent before the next presidential election.
The Union Whig of several of the sou
thern States are making ready to enlist
for" the support of the national Democratic
nomination next year. If Dickinson,
Buchanan or Woodbury, get the nomina
tion, there is no doubt of this amalgama
tion; for it is a general sentiment among
Union men of all affinities that the
disur lonists can only be respectably routed
by the old Democracy. The old Jackson
guard are the men to be relied on mainly
to accomplish the work."'
Tr.inunLK Rail Road Accident
A
terrible Rail Road accident occurred
near
hveritt's funnel, on tlie Haiti more
Ohio Kail Road, on Thursday last.
The Cumberland Civilian eives
S- 1 1 "
and
the
following:
As the iron train was passing around
Savage Mountain, about 50 yards from
Kveritt's Tunnel, the flange of the wheel
of the foremost car, with 3 tons of railroad
iron, was immediately precipated over the
embankment, making several complete
somersets and falling a distance of GO
feet- Unfortunately about 15 persons
were on the car at the time, mostly natives
of Ireland, proceeding to different points
of the road west. Three men were killed
outright, another had his skull dreadfully
fractured and is not expected to survive,
another had a leg broken, and another had
his collar bone broken."
A woman, with an infant in her arms,
was on the car when it went over the
I precipice and strange to tell, the infant
scaped without the slightest bruise, and
the only injury sustained by " the mother
was the loss of a part of one of her fingers.'
The Grayson Mirdki i. A citizen of
Grayson county, Va., has informed us
that all the negroes concerned in the re
cent murders in that county have been
arrested, and that their statements con
firm the suspicion that the abolitionist
preacher, Bacon, personally instigated
them to run away telling them that they
would be met by some of his people."
Iiicon had been waited upon and warned
to leave within tiventy-four hours, which
warning he attended to forthwith. Our
informant says that if caught - there again
he will doubtless be hung, f f he or any
of his coadjutors are caught in Grayson or
south of there, they will meet the fate
they seem to court at tlie nanus ot an out
raged community. (Jreemborough
