A, QUITMAN. Monmouth, Sept. 6th,i 1851. It wilt thus be seen that Gen. Quttmah declines being longer a Candidate for Governor upon the express ground that the People of Miaeissippi, by declaring that "they are content with the late ag ru measures of Congress, and opposed to any remedial action (Secession, of coarse,) Jbu THE Statx," have virtually condemned his views and rejected bis counsels. And yet the Raleigh Standard would have its readers believe, in tbe face of all this, that "had it regarded McDonald or Quitman, an hostile to the Union, off account 4f what has been dose, antlas i seeking to destroy it and establish on its ruins a Son them Confeder acy, it would have denounced them and warned the people of .heir respective States, as far as its feeble voice, could have reached them, of the dan ger involved in endorsing such views and such - pliey Ly -aiding -4n heir election. T , Waa- ever such bare faced effrontery heard of before ? And does that Disunion print expect to deceive the People of North Carolina with such mis-tate-menis and such vehement protestations of inno cence, when the broad glare ot noonday is shining full upon its gudty and nefarious Disunion ten. dencies ? If it does, it calculates wide of the mark it reckons greatly witliout its host. All its sympathies and hopes and aspirations are iden tified with secetsion and they must rise together, however unenviable the height may be, or together fall, to incur all the odium and ignominy that at tach to Treasos, whether successful or unsuc cessful ! ' If Gen. Cass had been elected, we have Mr. Webster's authority for saying that the Missouri line woa'd have been established; and that, with other measures equally fair, would have given satisfaction to the most "ultra" Southern Slate." Standard. It is well known that the proposition to extend the Missouri line to the Pacific, thereby dividing the State of California, was rejected by a large majority both in the Senate and the House. Had Gen. Cass been elected, could he have altered this state of things 1 This habit of the "Standard's" of boasting of What Gen. Cass would have done how much I more favorable his Administration wonld have been to tbe South, and then whirling immediately around and denouncing those measures which he did advocate and assist to pass, proves what con fidence is to be placid in any of the EdUor'a pro fessions of aboce-partf ism in connection with this question of slavery !

The Ambassador of Spain had addressed a Ion. communication to the London Times, refuting va rious articles copied from American papers rela tive to Cuba affairs. The Lopez Expedition had created great excitement. O Among the best of Dr. Moir's peices was Casa Wappy' a peerless outpouring of bis muse over the grave of a beloved child. If comes' from the innermost heart of the bereaved parent, and to the end of time, it will bt:ng tears to the eyes even of these happy few to whom sorrow is yet but a name, to those who mourn the loss of a beloved child, we dare not venture to portray tbe emotion which the reading of it will be sure tebrrng. We make no apology for subjoining a few stanzas, premising that "Casa Wappy" was the qame by which his little lisping boy always called himself; and do it with more pleasure, as a weak plagiar ism of the poem has recently passed through some of the newspapers : r" . t i "Despair was in our last farewell, As closed tbitie eyes ; - - Tears of our anguish may not tell, " Wbenthon didst die; Woro may not paint our grief for 4bee, Sighs are but bubbtos ou -the sea .01 our unfathomcd agony.

Tiiere dost thou glide before me still A form of light ; I feel thy breath upon my cheek Till, oh 1 my heart is like to break ; I see thee smile, I hear thee speak, Casa Wappy !

The-Dr. was ire zed upon and hurried to the spot, and at once pronounced no imrnediate dan ger ; and cUed for a needle and- thread to sew up the gaping orifice. Tins, at first, could not be procured, until at length an old iegro woman, being moved by the gripings of pity,, joshed info her cabin and brought out a huge earning needle with a long string of white cotton attached.
