Levi has gflne back of his own notion, without

assured of a kind reception and a comfortable sup

ting the first district in Hamilton county, and the
following is the result :

In speaking of General Taylor's proclamation
forbidding the invasion of Cuba1 from the United
States, the European Time's says :
"We are glad to find that President Taylor is
not disposed to sanction a mighty act of spoliation,

principled adventurers. Throughout the whole of
these doings, it is carefully kept out of view that a
specific trail;: exists, to which Fiance, Spain, Eng
land, and the United States are parties, by which
tie dependency of Cuba to the mother country of Spain
is especially guarantied"
Tennessee. It is now stated that the Legisla

Locos which nukes a tie on joint ballot.
The Charleston Mercury is making excuses, or
if not excuses,apologies for the conduct of the Hun
ker Democracy in New York. It does not think
that "the Hunkers have surrendered" to the Barn
burners notwitstanding the union between Hie two,
seen both in the union ticket and the Union Mass
Convention. It denounces the wicked Whigs for
their Anti-Slavery opinions and winks at the Res
olutions of its Northern allies. It sees in every
Whig an Anti-Slavery foe, but makes no mention
of the nomination of such hot headed Anti-Slavery
men as II. B. Stanton for the State Senate by its
own party. We begin to think that the Pro -Slavery
party of the South are as great humbugs and
agitators as the 'Barnburners of the North. Both
are "hobnobing" together just now to obtain the
spoils of office.

Mr. Giddings. It seems that, during the pres

' dings to sever himself entirely from all communion

leave a question as to his real standing. For this
purpose he has appeared in several counties of the

Locofoco candidates to the Legislature, and in the

resent its doctrines, and assail its position. Ohio

THE COALITION IX NEW YORK.
A larga portion of the Southern Democratic
press have been in the habit of expressing a hope,
that the two fragments into which the Democratic
party is split in New York, would unite, in order
to secure a victory at the approaching election.
And yet these same journals are forever repre
senting the Whig party as the ally of free-soil
and abolition agitation. To say nothing: of John
Van Euren, who certainly is no Whig, of his fa
ther, and of others who attended the Buffalo Con
vention, we have other and strong proof that if
there is any amalgamation, it will only enure to
to the advantage of the free-soilers. For instance:
on a late occasion, tho Boston Republican (Abo
lition) asked the following questions with regard
to the contemplated ooalition :
1. Does the united Democratic party of New
York recognizo the principles embodied in the
Buffalo platform, as the basis of political action ?
or docs it recognize the principles embodied in the
Baltimore resolution's ? .
2. Is the united Democratic party of New York
now an integral portion of the old Democratic
party? or is it an integral portion of the free
Democratic party 1
3. Should the National Conventions of both
these parties bo now called, in which Convention
would the united Democracy of New York be rep
resented ?
To these interrogatories the New York Evening
Post, the Organ of the Barnburners, replies. We
extract from the New Orleans Bee, whero we find
this article from the Post. It first makes the fol
lowing general observations :
" The policy of the present Administration of
the General Government is already sufficiently de
veloped to make it apparent that the Democratic i
is the ony party that can be relied upon for the '
next four years, to make any combined and effec
tive resistance to the extension of slavery. To
perpetuate our two organizations, when there is
no substantial division of opinion among us, is to
perpetuato a pro-slavery influence in this State,
and to deprive the cause of freedom of tho impor
tant service which, as a united and triumphant
party, we are competent to render."
" That union has been made substantially upon
the terms proposod by the radical Democracy at
the Rome conference ; which was generally ap
proved of by the free-soil Domocracy everywhere."
"It that union, has been ratified in a State
mass Convention of both sections of the Democ
racy, by the passage of resolutions which are cer
tainly satisfactory as a basis of political union, and
which, in our judgment, will tend to give activity
to the anti-slavery sentiment in this State more
rapidly than resolutions of a more decided or intol
erant character."
It then gives a direct answer to the interrogato
ries of the Republican as follows:
"We say in reply tu the first question that the
Evening Post continues to entertain precisely the
opinions it has always entertained and expressed
of the Baltimore and. Buffalo platforms, and will
continue those opinions as it has always done, in
the way best calculated, in the judgment of its edi
tors, to secure their general adoption . To the sec
ond question we reply, that there is but one Demo
cratic party in the State of N. York, and that em'
braces both of the late sections, now united in ac
tive opposition to the extension of slavery, by res
olutions adopted at the mass convention held at
Syracuse on the 14th instant. To the last ques
tion we answer, that we have no opinion whatever
upon the subject, nor shall we attempt to form one
until there is occasion for it."
What more can any Southern man desire, in or
der to be convinced that the greatest danger to
Southern institutions consists in the success of the
Democratic party J The Organ of the Barnburn
ers assails the present Administration on the
ground that it is hostile to the doctrines of the anti
slavery party says that the Democratic party is
the only party that can be relied on to make a com
bined effort against the extension of slavery that
the union has been effected on the terms proposed
by the radical Democracy at the Rome conference
that it has been approved of by the Free Soil
Democracy that it has been ratified in a State
Convention of both sections of the Democratic par
ty and that the moderation of the resolutions pas
sed will give more activity to the anti-slavery par
ty, than it would have received from others more
intolerant. It says, moreover, that there is but ono
Democratic party in New York, and that embraces
both sections ; that they (the party) are united in
active opposition to slavery j and that that union
was effected by the resolutions adopted at the Sy
racuse Convention.
After such declaration on the partof the Organ
of the Barnburners and Free Soilors, we see not
how it is possible for any man to entertain a doubt
as to the nature of the Coalition. The triumph of
the Democratic party in New York will be the tri
umph of the Free Soil principle ! If there had ev
er existed on our minds a shadow of doubt with re
gard to this fact, it would have been removed by
this open declaration of the Evening Post.
For the Times. V
Mr. EniToe. : Will you call the attention of the
readers of the " Times," to the necessity of so -mending
our Criminal Laws, R9 to correct that
most grievous fault, Public Executions ? Believe
me, the evil is regarded a grievous one, or I should
not feel authorized in presenting it to the consider
ation of '.hove, with, whom lies the remedy. Let
me not be misunderstood ; I do not wish to have
executions for heinous crimes done away with.
As long as tho Law "whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood bo shed" (Gen. 9, 6,) re
mains unrepealed, there is no choice left the wor
shippers of the true God but murder must needs
be punished with death ; and it is a false estimate
of Christ's Religion, that would place it in antag
onism to the Law of Moses. The seal of the
Divine Government was set anew to the law of
Gen. 9, 6, when Christ said, " Think not I am
come to destroy the Law or the Prophets : I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfil, and not a jot or
tittle shall in any wise pass from the Law, till all
be fulfilled." And it is a spurioirs morbid humani
ty, that would remove from governments all pre
ventives of crime. The very-being of govern
ments ia dependent upon the infallible infliction
of coiidijn punishment. But the evil of which
I am complaining is, the giving to capital punish
ments such eclat as in a great measure to take
from them their terrors. Who that has witnessed
a public execution but must know that the cir
cumstances attendant upon them arc by no means
calculated to deter from crime? We have in
Granville county a casein point : A man was to
day executed, who witnessed a hanging last year,
and within a few weeks was arrested npon the
charge of murder. Where was the benefit, as
far as regarded him 7 And the tumult, the noisy,
disgraceful mirth, the profanity, the dissipation,
the disgusting insensibility, that characterize the
crowds that attend upon such unhappy occasions,
should furnish a sufficient reason to condemn the
system as now practised. Let tiie makers of our
laws take this thing into serious advisement. Let
our executions be secret be within the walls of
our jails; let every thing like excitement, tumul
tuous gatherings of the base, the bosotted, the de
graded, be prevented, and crime may be expected
to present to the mind, all that is terrible, all that
is awful. Will you, my dear Sir, call upon your
brethren of the corps, to move with you, in this
matter, until the fearful evil be removed.
Yours, ; J. J. R.

The New York Tribune has the following letter,
dated, ' - .
Leon de Nicaragua, Sept. 14, 1849
A large number of contracts have heretofore been
made for the great into-oceanic Canal, among
which is one with Aaron F. Palmer of New York,
another with the late King of Holland, and another,
still later, with Louis Napoleon, now president of
the French Republic. But none seemed to have
secured any considerable amount of public confi
dence,, not was 'anything done under them.
A contract has now been made, under a fortu
nate conjunction of circumstances, which is likely
to be carried into execution. At any rate we may
infer so from the names of the men composing the
Company, at the head of which 6tands Cornelius
W. Vanderbilt of New York. The terms are far
mnre favorable, both to Nicaragua and the com
pany, than those of any previous contract.
It ia obtained for 97 yoars, with a further extent
for 20 years, and secures to the Company the right
to construct a ship canal or railroad, or to improve
the present means of conveyance, (one or all,) as
they may think proper. I have no doubt the Com
pany will proceed at once to improve the present
means of transit; in which case this will provo
formidable ri al to the Panama route.
It is understood that a most important treaty has
just been concluded between the American"Mrnis
ter, Mr. Squier, and this Government, embracing
some provisions concerning the proposed Canal.
It is probably more favorable to our interests than
any which has yet been negotiated with any of the
American States.

How the Deacon got Mad. Kingsley tells a
very good story about Deacon Havens. It appears
that at last Harvest time the Deacon had a "mow
ing bee," and among the party were two interest
ing sons of Belial, who were more inclined to cut
capers than clover. One of their tricks on the old
man consisted in filling the tin horn with soft soap,
and then slightly stopping the orifice with cotton.
When 12 o'clock came, our venerable friend seiz
ed the loaded instrument, and gave a blast which
scattered the contents faf and near. To say that
the Deacon was displeased, would but slightly de
scribe his feelings. lie was enraged ; and for the
first time in his life he swore. Says he "Gentle
man, I am an old man : I am the head of the Sun
day School, and have preached the Gospel for five
and thirty long years but d n me if I can't lick

Hon. Isaac Hill la Autrust last, tho Second
Comptroller of the Treasury examined the accounts
ot me honorable Isaac tlill, late tension Agent at
Concord, N. II. which examination proved that
nonoranie gentleman to be a defaulter in the sum
ot $13,000. The 3d Auditor was thereupon in
structed to demand of the honorable Mr. Hill im
mediate paymont of the amount, and in case of re
fusal, to furnish a transcript of his account for
suit. I he honorable Mr. Hill did not pay nonia
suit been commenced. Why? Because a prem
ature exposure of this default of so honorable and
distinguished a leader of the unterrified democra
cy, might have affected the elections.. But the
present administration will tee that the matter is
attended to. ' ' ' " .
