Stanly's Xcller. Mr. Stanly has written a long Inter in an nwer to an invitaiion lo a public dinner gra cicusly .tHndcred him by his filloiv citrus of Ncw-Bcn:c. A reply from Mr. Stanly to so flattering a testimony of puUic regard ,was necessarily to be expected. But that he should have male it the occasion of b.tter in vective against the States Rights party. Whig? and Democrats, and of reiterating the thou fand and one calumnies and nisrepresenta ttons in which he indulge d so freely ih-ough "out the whole Campaign, and to which a.lone he owes hii election, is more than v, c had "any reason to expect, even from Mr. Stanly. Comment on this letter for it is worthy of jjmmeni we intended to make. But our extemporary of the Wilmington Commercial (. wh'g paper of high repute and acknowl edged ability) ncbly steps forward, and per forins this duty. He docs it handsomely. Ilii portraituro of Mr. Stanly, and the iriems employed to secure his election ore drawn to the life by a Master's pencil. So gco I, so true, and so much to the point are the re marks of the Commercial, that we transfer thorn to our columns, to d iy, in extenso, and bespeak for them the strictest attention of every rcaJer. During the entire Campaign we were indebted to the Commercial for many excellent things in aid of the holy cause of Sia'cs Rights, and popular liberty. We hear tily thank the venerable editor for the help already received at his hand, and express the hope that he may long live in he ilth and happiness to wield his experienced pen in defence of the cause of Justice, Equality and Slates Rights.

The Plymouth Villager, a small 7 neutral, political, ' literary, all-soits-o'p-iper, always full of all sorts of blackguardism of the lowe;t, gross est, most vulgir sort ; after abusing some of its co-tetnporaries for insinuating that some of ihe citizens of Washing'oo county are ab olitionists, comes out manfully and promises n coat of U"W and feathers'1 lo any sen- tlcman" who will deny ('' gainsay") the fact that they are abolitionists. This new coat is to be laid on by free negroes, of course. Col ored " gemmen" always aid their friends. .Bat not to misrepresent the sage of the Vil lager we give his own words. Here they .arc : . "A coat of tar and feathers, is in waiting for the gentleman who will come about here and gainsay we are Abolitionists. Free negroes will dress the dandy, aud administer the portion." In view of the fact that all gentlemen vis iting Washington county, must not "gain say'1 4hai the people down there are " aboli tionists" under penally of a cpat of tar and feathers, to be laid on by "free negroes" 7ve hope the public will take caution and refrain from visiting that abolition neighborhood.

Tlie Triumph. Stanly's election is claimed as a great "Union Triumph." Upon what grounds? Was not this District gerrymandered so as to render it imposiibleto elect any other but iii-h a Candidate as he? Was it not gerrymandered so as to give 750 to 1000 majority lo the Whig Candidate, and did it not give General Taylor 1028 over General Cass? Has not Stanly fallen 758 below Taylor's majority, and therefore lost, most shamefully, but deseivedly lost these votes from the Whig certainty majority. Where now is Stanly's Consolidation, Anti-Southern triumph ? Will not some one acquainted with addition and subtraction ex plain the difficulty ? Henry Clay.

Highly important from Cufca. SUCCESS OF LOPEZ. We are indebted to the Baltimore Sun for the following Cheering intelligence of the Success cf Lopez, Defeat and death of G.-r.

The schooner Merchant anivrd here to-dy, with Havana dates to the 23d "of August. Her r.cw3 is of intense interest and highly enmui nging for the Patriot? Since the 13th, Gen. Lopez and his a my had encountered the Span:anls in several contests, in all of which the latter had been defeated wilh very heavy loss. t On the 1 7th a Va tie occurred, in which Gen. Enna, commander-in-chief of the Queen's forces, was killed, together wilh a IhTire number of officer and men. Lopez is now marching upon Havana, at the head of nr, army of 1.500 or 2.000 men, which is daily r criving large accessions from the suriounding country. The Spanish troops are completely cowed by the frequent re veistrs which they have sustained. Gen. Enra was buried with great pomp in Harana, on the 20;h.j The irreateyt exc:ternent and comterra-' tion prevailed in that city, as thee were or. ly seven hundred of the troors there, who could ofJr but a feeble resistance. lSVisicii off Cit&a. Since our last, the news, from Cuba has been so contradictory that wo can leach no definite conclusion as to the final result The excitement throughout the emirc coun try is iudiscribable. It ought to be even greater than it is. Forty brave American hearts have blsd by the baud of Spanish bar barity. They were mocked at, an J derided even in dea'h ; and, r:fter the vital pulse l7ad ceased to throb, they were inhumanly dragged along the streets by the sacril'geous serfs of a despotic power. Humanity shud ders while she contemplates the fate of these noble martyrs ia the cause of Liberty The cry of the oppressed Cubans had reached our shores. Groaning in fetters and in chains, under the tyrannic yoke of an inhu man depot, they invoked the aid of our peo ple to assert their rights. The same c y was once ours thnt cry that brought a La Fay ette, a Pulaski, and a Kosciusko lo our shores. The mrmcry of these men is em balmed in our hearts, and the page of our wrongs points proudly to their names as our coun'.ry's avengers. The ton of the school boy is animated as he readsof their daring ex ploits, and his eye, a moment ago, bright, sparkling, and expressive of undissemlkd joy,now glistens with a lear,as he contemplates the sj-ot where scmo of them fell, nobly fight ing, proudly striving to expe! British despo tism, and to erect on its ruins the proud Re public that now is ours. We are now free. C iba is still in chains. Weary of oppression and galling tyranny on the 4ih of last July she displayed on her flag the lone star oflibeity, and. vowed to defend it with her warm life blood. She raised the cry, " come over and help us" and it was borne on the winds to Liberty's shores. The warm hearts of our gallant sons impell ed many a hero to obey the summons. Al ready have fortv of these brave fellows fall en, not on the field of strife' where they might have crowned their names with im moital honors, but they haven been butcher ed, inhumanly butchered by a ferocious san guinary horde of tyrants. Their fate has excited the deepest indignation of every true friend of human rights, North, South, East and West. It will notecase to burn till the minions of Spanish power in Cuba have been humbled, and have deeply atoned for theii deeds of blood. The fate of Lopez and the noble Patriots that have joined his standard, we cannot even conjecture. Against them are the pow ers of a haughty, vindictive, intolerant des potism, sustained by a well disciplined, blood thirsty army.Cme of two things : is certain Gen. Lopez has already fallen a victim to the cause of human rights, or the fate of Cu ba is sealed. If he has been enabled thus far lo maintain the unequal strife, Cuba no longer belongs to Spain. We have deemed it entirely unnecessary to crowd our columns with the conflicting unsatisfactory rumors that daily reach us on this absoibing topic. As soon a" any thing decisive reaches us, we will not fail to lay it before our readers. Uutil then we remain - in deep suspense. European. The steamer Asia arrived in New York, on the 28th, bringing advices from Liverpool to the 0th ulf. She brings no political news of importance.

ItJus i Ilce A OToiisG In a Iifcli BarrrcL - The North Slate Wkigt true to his avoca tion, continues to di?grace himself by the use of language which can be described only bywords inadmissible to our humble cop umns Detraction and abuse are the sword and shield. of the misguided man who edits the Whig. We disavow any malice or ill will towards him. Were we capable, we would lead him into more honorable paths. As it is, we would gladly disiuade him from a course, which human na'ure, in its rdile-t state, wotrld be ashampd to pursue. Nick names and abusive epi hets can hurt no man, establish no truth, refute no argamet For our own part we would as soon be c ril ed 41 Paddy Robinson as William Robin son, or any other name. But we cannot ste what our name has to do with the result of the election in the Eighth District, or with the edification and instruction of the readers of the Whig. Were we to occupy bur time in heaping what we might deem opprobrious epitlnts cn the ed tor of the Whig, we would regard ourself as offering an insult to -the intelligence and sensibilities of our read-4 ers, and unworthy cf the name and charac ter of an editor. If Mr. Dimmock, howev er, has no other subjects upon which to write, no better way of taming his two dollars and fifty cents per annum from each of hU sub'fed into eiTect senbers, he can write about 4k Paddy Robin son" until dooms day. or so long asjbey ste fit to pay him foi the unenviable duties 'which he so faithfully performs. If calling us nick names, and abusing and villifying others, suit the taster of his renders, and bring a little small change, now and again, into his till, he is perfectly welcome to indulge his spleen, and gratify the evil prop nsities of his uncouth mind. To the course which Mr. D.mmock sees fit lo indulge we raise no objection Thut matter must be settled between himself and his readers. If he please them, he will not excite our anger, if he do justice to himself, he will not cannot do injury to us. As to his classic query : who hilled cock Robin" he reminds us much of the little an imal mentioned at the head of this little ar tical u the mouse in the pitch barrel" use lessly peiplexing himself to effect impossi bilities. lie would, in vain strive to show that Mr. Stcnly had, in the late campaign, achieved a great victory. Nothing can be farther fom the truth than this. Mr. Stan ly has certainly lost g-ound In other words, the consolidationists have not, in this District, increased in the same ratio as the friends of State Rights the true Democracy Mr. Stanly received only 240 votes more than General Taylor, wliile Col RufTin receive 1 993 more than General Cass. But we said enough on this subject last week, to saliify our readers :hat Col. Ruffin received undeir all the circumstances, as many votes as nay, more than we had good reason to eypect; ' The course of Mr. Stanly in the last Con gress, especially his in famous 6ih of March speech, drew down upon his head the most withering indignation and scorn of every true Democ at. and many; very many Whigs, then professing to be Southern Rights men. This is an assertion that can neither be refu ted nor explained away. To its truth there are too many living witnesses. This gen eral condemnation led to the belief that Mr. Stanly could not command the Whig vote, and hence his defeat was earnestly anticipa ted as an event most devoutly to be wished. This calculation wes erroneous. The Whiff wires were pulled, the Whij bells rung, the Whig purses emptied, Whig gold-spent, Whig lies told, and these added to jhe po tent cry of persecution of a f.iithful .public servant, proved effectual to the rallying of the Whig party, wilh some honorable-exceptions, and Mr. Stanly was successful, by the poor pitiful majority of only 270, in a District that was pronounceJ good for a ma jority of 750, for ten years froic tho meniora ble day of the great Raynermander. , In trumpeting forth this great victory of Mr. Stanly, the consolidation organs have an ob ject in view more deception. They are Marshalling their foices for the State and j Presidential elections that will soon be upon us, should we all live. . In doing this the North Stale Whig is no more than a Ner vis alienis mobile lignum" always; ready lo obey the behests of him who has his press supported, chiefly, by advertisements from Washington City. Of woman it is said , : Neque foemina amissa pudicitia, alia ab- nuerit :" and so we say of man when he has lost his honor. Let our opponents stick to facts and argument, and they cannot sur vive the fire of a single campaign. Advo calinga consolidated government, openly and fairly, they would bo overwhelmed with pop ular indignation, and in . twenty four hours after the announcement of the fact, would be burled frcm power. We will hold them to the record and patiently await the eventful result of future contests. A Fact for tfie up Country A mcr chant of Marion, S.

Tf; COLLIER, eretar' England. The B:ith Parliament was prorogued by the dueen, in person on the 8th ult., after a "wearisome" and "inefficient" session of six months. The London correspondent of the Courier and Knquirer aptly remarks. that the enactment of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, (such as it is) the decision for the re moval of Smilhfield Market, and the rejection of the bill for admitting Jews to Parliament, constitute all the striking features of this lone session. Of the enactment of the Ec clesiasiical Titles Bill and the rejection of the Bili to admit Jews to a seat in Parliament, the writer says ; they constitute two most striking exemplifications, of the bigotry and intolerance of the Biitish people. Bigotry and intolerance arc inseparably interwoven in every thing that is British. The people of England and those of her de pendencies, are recked in the cradlc-of into lerance and nurtured at the breast of bigotry These horrid principles they have imbibed fiom infancy, being taught to regard as here tics all who worship at a different altar or have customs and laws at variance with their own. This is but a natural consequence of their education. No sooner are their infant eyes opened to the light, than they are car ried fjrlh to gaze on the splendors of royally, and the' gaudy, unmeaning tinsels of a proud, scornful, unfeeling aristocracy. Dazzled with the glittering plumage of these insensihle pea-cocks, they envy and adore what they can neither possess nor attain unto. Tney are the willing serfs of .purse proud lords, having neither the will nor the power lo ex tricate themselves from their degraded, allot ted fate. We can o ily pity them. We are of them, but not one of them. Tl i oui duly now, as it is our highest gratification, to point out to oi hers the only Way ta guard against a similar condition. A Government of Force, a standing.Army bas made England and her dependencies what they are. A strong Government has created lords and Dukea on the decaying ruins of popular liberty and popular rights It has fed princes on the bread that should have filled the mouth of famishing poverty. It has robbed the poor to pamper, bloat, and swell to fictitious impoitance, a soulhss, heartless, brainless brood of pampered me nials, to revel in the sighs and tears and bitter curses of suffering humanity. A strong Government has done all this.il will do it again, it will do more. , .. . While we live let us live is a familiar adage, it is also significant. So while we are free let us be free, and watch for our freedom. There are those among us, even in North Carolina, who admire the splendor of a strong Government a Government of force. Let us watch them closely. Let the ssal r.f popu lar reprobation be fixed on that man, who dares insult the intelligence of our peo; le by advocating a system that would subject them to Ihe dominion of a Government, that has to be sustained by a hireling Army. - J-et us clip their wings, on their first feeble attempt at flight j and convince them at once, that bur liberties, purchased by the blood of our fathers,are well known,thorough iy defined, and will be manfully defended, lore anon. ' Runaway Negroes. The escape of ne groes from the border States of Maryland and Virginia are becoming very numerous matters of almost daily occurrence. The Eastern (Md ) Star, of Tuesday says : "Two horses were taken from! the stable of Mr M. O. Colston, residing in Ferry Neck, of ihis county, on Saturday night last, supposed to be stolen by two servants belong ing to Mr. John W. Battie and Mr. Sp ol den Orem, who disappeared oa the same night We learn that a servant of Mr. John Harms also made his escape at the same time, and that a horse, was also taken from Mr. Battrc. The negroes passed Mr, Lynch, the mail carrier, on the road between here and Centreville about daybreak on Sun- aay morning A. reward of 8600 is offered fur I tneirapprenension. Mr. Colston, who went in pursuit of the runaways, returned vstpr day with all ihree of the horses, which he found at Church Hill." The Ccntreville (Glueen Anne's county) Sentinel siys also that three negroes have ab sconded from Dr. Wra. Do Courcv. He offers 8500 reward for them, but it is ru mored two had returned. . Ictter from an Of f iccr oil board tUo U. S. Ship Albany 'The following letter, on Cuban affairs, from an officer on board the U.S. ShipAlbany, dated at Havana, Cuba, August 19th 1851, will be read with interest, and not without emotion. It. describes a scene that cannot be Kjontemplated without painful feelings of sym pathy for the sufferers and regret for their fate. The day of Spain's rclnbution may ye be far distant, but it is fixed and certain. The blood of so many- gallant heroes and brave men, niaryrs to ih cause of liberty, cannot be'fhcd irr vain. The letter which is published in the Poits-nouth (Va.) Trans cript w ill best describe this melancholy event. We regret to see that it cast a gloom over ihe p'ospects of the Put:iots.

A maj rity of the whole Houye will be one huud ed and stvei.te n j and it the efoie Ap pears, by adding .the 107 Democrats alrea ly . el cted to the 32 to be el c'cd.; that the entire Democratic vute will be 139, or 22 more than a inajority. ' , Upon t.is ti'e of parties wc notice the following reflections in the Richmond En-qui-rer of the 23d ins aut : " In view of this gratifying and glorious fact, Democrats, North ami tSoutii, should fet'l that they have in themselves a sure and sate protection from . abolition agitation in the next Congress, aud at . onto disiiii.3 whatever of sectional animosity ha" divided them 'in the jtaet. ii secessionist that U to say, Democrats who seek to preserve the LTniou by maintaining the rights of the States and resist- . iiis the consolidating schemes of federalism will ' aid the great republican, constitutional 'i'ty .9 mor-LVee.6oil pTu.tics uixm the eontit.ition,ull will vet the country to rein:! the assaults ot lihi'vt ing una be well, the constitution will be maintained, ud the Union saved. It is in the power of Southern Democrats, by uniting with the sound Democracy of the Union upon the broad, catholic, national platform of nonintervention the platform of Bal timore, the platform of '48, of '44, of tle olden re- j 'publican time, of Ihe .leffersonian era to make all well again with the country ; -to restore peace ; to subdue jealousy ; to rekindle in the breasts of the f honest and patriotic men who have been tempora rily alienated from it their original affection for tl Union ; to diffuse universal confidence in its per manency ; and to. impart a fresh impetus to tins flourishing interests and niiraciiloiis progress of cur great republic. Harmony of the Dehidcratic parly for the sake of the country mu?t now be our watch word, we doubt not that it will be. e expect to seethe Baltimore platform again erected, th North, he South, the last, and the West rallying fralenaHy upon it, and the flag of our Union float ing triumphantly over it. That is the platform of the national Democracy j of State sovereignty, of republican liberty, and the platform of the' consti tution. " On the other hand, how votknt for saving tlie Union will be the Whig pa: ty in the- approach-big Congress ! tighty-five in two hundred and thirty three is the full measure of their strength for Union. . If this he the only Union party, in the coui.trjv pray what is to become of the country ? What a. sad number of disunionists fills the land ! If tho Uuiou and Constitution, and everything good and valuable in our institutions, rest upon their ehos ders, how deplorable is the predicament of all of: them just now! What grand inducement docs tho puissant plight for good, of the .Whig party, hold out to thefiiendsof the Union to join their ranks f What mighty attractions do they present to the lov ers of peace and harmony, of iuiet and safety, among old men of social" progress, State lienor,, national dignity, and American supremacy, among voting men to fraternize with them .. . "' A arty under whose imbecile and plodding administration of affairs the confederacy has been well nigh rentjn twain, the Union party-! A; squad of eighty -five in the national Congress, seek ing to infringe the Constitution by every ineaeuro of its policv, but impotent to cany any measure, the Union "party! We hope the young men t( Virginia, who are about to nsVume the highest pre rogative of the citizen, will reflect upon the pecu liar inducements and attractions which n re Troscut- cd by these boastful hnjotcnts to join their, organi zation."
