GRAHAM'S LETTER. On our last paga will lo found a loiter from the ( " Hon. Wm. A. Gsaium, relstire to the appearance of tiis name in Tkt Ccmmereial in connection with that of the lion. Daniel Wfbsteij. ; Mr. Chuiuti iuforms us that it doc not meet lis approbation. . . It would seem at the first view of this matter, , - tliat wc lave nothing to do but to take Mr. Ga haM'i name out of the paper.; -.But when wo re - " ..fleet that it is not because he declines being a can- didatc for the Vic Presidency, but because he would not be discourteous to the other nominee, . Gen.8corr,w to the Convention which nomina V ted him with himself another course la indicated to our mind. As the responsibility of this dis- " courtesy does not rest with Mr.GiuiuM, especial ;' ly (n the position ho Las now chosen, but witii the friends with whoa have advised, and with ns, - f we do not feel if our duty to act iu the ireraises, ; ; al present. J A meeting of Ihoso friends is to take ; f place to-night, at tho Court House in tbjs town, ' 'and to thrir decision In tho case wo shall nnhesi "tatingly yield our consent. Jn the mean time, we ' tv ' do not nnderslapd Mr. QojniMas assuming any 'H f right io control this matter, or any other which '.-. ropcrly belongs to the people. , It is proper for ns to remark on the whole of m i this Letter; but we cannot viow the points in the V order, consecutively, In which they are arranged. Bojao begin' with tho second part, in which Mr. j GiAtmrbears testimony to the zeal and activity I ; of Geri Scott In promoting the adoption of the Compromise. Wc hare ucrerdoubtcd or disputed V:i. this factthongb. wo would not hesitate to rc , fsCcivethe testimony of Mr. GiunM, had such been '"tho caw. V1 ' Cot it must be observed that Gen. Scott was thus solicitous, on account of the peril which , v threatened' tho country, and was not satisfied till I "tho danger was averted," because lie conceived -v. the Union to bo In danger ,.mt Hot on account of : any especial regard for the Institution of Slavery ; sm for he had declared, in a letter written some time ago, that ho Msfiicndly to the amelioration of - the slavery system cr lo its extinction. Wo do . not recollect 'the precise words, but arc sure we ' giva the meaning of lhera That there are some, wu slaveholders, at the South, who agree with - Gen. Scott In th'u particular, wo know to be true , : but how far Mr. Gsaium would identify himself with the doctrino. ana forbid Any discrimination iu this regard, between himself and Gen. Scott, ,", u a question referablo to bis .ownjtastfejand judg " mcnt ; and how for it is agreeable to tho Suuthern community at large is fur them to consider and " decide upon." Perhaps tho latter may think' with tlw Sf "ork editor of tho Day Book, who says sou this point; , . '-Wo do not believe that our forefathers ncces- "aarily committed a crime by owning slaves or.by aelliii; them to the South when slavery was .-. iolishe4 among usjvnor do o bclieve.tlial tho 'siavehoklors of-tho South aro sinners above all "other men, or that the constitution was an ill I "considered cohipsct.or an atrocious bargain." ; ' ,Ve di not charge the sentiments of tho second section qfV the above, upon Gen. Scott, but we charge thera upon the promoters of his noinina ; tion, and have their own deeth and minis for proof! it will be perceived tLat the remarks of i Mr, Obauam aro quito gratuitous, when he says: at least, eannot'eonsent, by my bileuee, to see tningty apj rovo the discrimination made by you V to liis prejudice, on a national question where he was equally itoatotta with myself, and more influ ' cntial;:and I know no safer criterion for tho fu ture observance of the compromise, than the de ci.Mvo and manl partltakcn In its enactment." v It Is very cvidont Uiat Mr. Graham has been ' misled by conversations with his friends, or a inis t iko of some editor for nothing in tho col umns of Tie Commercial will . warrant the remarks ".' Aboyt f'tho discrimination" made by us. We,lave always discriminated between Gen. Scott ami the vilo plotters againit the South, to whom ho owes bis presmt prominent positionbut never in the way indicated in Ihu extract from the Letter, i" - In regard W a few points lu tlw first part of the Letter! Mr. GuiUM having accepted tlw nomi nation, baa a right to decide for himself that good , faith and hohor require that he shall not sanction the use of bispame on any other ticket. Certain ly it would bo asking loo jmuch of auy man to do 'i auy thing that might possibly disturb thu unity ; by which the deration of f friend, as well as bis own. is expected to be accomplished. Surely Mr. GaLuawonld do nothing that looked like rlct nrri,fbranypiiriy,V;S V ,Mr. Obaiiam is correct Jn supposing the "dec laration of principles" at the Bulliuiore Conven tion, meet'a the approbation of too eouutry and while the Candidates may feel bound to make (lie principles, thus declared, to lw the rule of their condijst it i si matter of blstoiy tint tho Con ' vention Itself Vf mean i that portion of it whicli . jionynafcdorf feels bound to do notiiing of tha aort. Though jtliis wonderful anmoly might not bave arisen by the action or consent of cither of , tho nominees, it is sufficient for (ho South to know that tt rxbts tho olftprjng of perfldy and frand, ' t f. t A long time before the Baltimore Convention, it was hinted, ty letter wrilcri from Washington, wnd from other quartet i.ttat a dcuoWratioi) was t o be made agalust the South, more jKwerfol than any tint bad beta recorded in tho history of tbe countryrTb9artijng of tljo pctfl was liko the voics of tbo winds before eoming tempest jnilMIift, fn'fcp4butHjuflfcWnlly IntelligibU to crtate alarm.

The most envenomed hatredagaiost Fili. uorc and Wi:b.ite pcrraded the bosom of Hk-so comolotters against tho Integrity of tho Union and tho peace and safety of tho South ami this hatred was engendered because theso Illustrious men had dared to vindicate the Const itntion against the claims of tho "Higher Law." ; Of tho character of the men of this combina tion, let the honest northern editor, above quoted, spenk : "They are deadly hostile to tho fugitive slave law and to any and all fugitive slave laws They are orgauized principally, if not solely, with reference to tho existence of African slavery in the southern States, and they justify their gener al position on the ground that liberty nnd not sla very is national, that slavery is sectional, and per se a slu above all others; and that the clause in the constitution requiring the surrender of fugi tives from service, and all laws passed iu puisu ance thereof, are, iu foro conscientiie, mil) and void as contrary to thu laws of 01 and morality, nnd ought to be so declared)' all human tiibnimK This we believe lo be a fail statement of Reward's position upon this point, as derived from his delib erately expressed opinions. Whether this is true er false. It is not whig doctrino, ami never form ed part of the whig creed, nor art wo bound as good whigs to yield it our assent. The doctrine is utterly subversive of the constitution, and if carried ont would drivo fifteen Stqfes out of the Union. We need not say that we do not yield it our assent in any form or in any aspect." We are told that the power and Influence of Se ward, Grecly and others is overrated at any talc , that Scott is too firm to be influenced by them. I Having eyes we see ; haying ears we hear ; having understandings we decide, and knm that this clique has influenced him in all his movements towards the nomination. No other influence could have caused the halting gait with which ho lias thus far traversed the avenue of civic funic. Is it not wonderful that southern fnen wil persevere in their special plc,fidjnj$ for the avowed enemies of the South for her traducersand rcvilers ! But to thcTonvention, to the decisions of which wo are taught that we must submit. It is known that the friends of Scott acceded to the Platform, to prevent the breaking up of thu Convention in disorder, and thus defeat any nomination at all This fact has been acknowledged by the principal Scott organ in New York, and therefore needs no further proof. Dut did the wickedness of the supporters of Scott stop at this point No. Having aecora plished this object iu breaking down the adiuinis- i (ration of Fillmokr, and ,in nominating Scott, they boldly declared, immediately after the ad journment of the Convention, that they would not be bound by the compromise adopted by that body. And now wo wpuld'ask, Mr. Gkaiiam, jf "good faith and honor" requjru Southern Whigs to he bound by the decision of that Convention 1 Tell us not that th(Cs,o tfyjngs are not sq. Every man kKo will way know for kimfelf that they are true. And cen it be' possible'that lour friends of the South will insist upon the fulfilment of a contract upon one side and not upon the other 1 That the northern whigs shall be permitted to violate the only condition upon which Scott was nominated, and that wu'must adhere to "the party" notwith standing this atrocious violation 1 And is it come to this?

M,R. THOMPSON'S STATEMENT. We insert the Communication of Mr. Thompson, because wc deem it fair that he uhould bo heard, as well as all other public men, on subjects affect- ing their usefulness. Mr. Thompson, in a privato note, asks us to in- sort it as a matter of justice to him. Ho certain - v. Iocs not require it of, as a matter of justice, who have never said a word about the chorgesof which he complain. We insert it chiefly on account of its connexion with the interests of tho Cape Fear and Deep j River Navigation Company, the welfare of which we have at all times at heart. Were it of less importance to tbo Company, however, courtesy to Mr. Thompson and a personal respect for him, would have great influence with us on this and all other occasions affecting his interest or profess ional character.

Atkinsoh, under date of Washington, February 9, 18-13 alluded to in our remarks, which leads 'a follows r ; '- : "I own, myself, no slaves, but never bave at tached blame to masters for not liberating their slaves well knowing that liberation, without the means or sending them to some position faroraoie to the pursuit of happiness, would, in most cases, be highly injurious to all around, as well as to the manumitted families themselves, unless the oper ation were general and under tho anspices of pru dent legislation. But I am persuaded that it is a moral obligation of masters and slaveholding States to employ" all means not incompatible with the safety of both colors, to mltornU dartry cren to extermination." From the above it npcari that it is the opinion of Gen. Scott that both individuals and tho States of the South, are morally buund to exterminate sla very. Well this is a free country he has a right to his opinionn,. Who says he has not ? TUB NKWBEItXIAN. The :irbrnrian of Ihc2"th of August, remark ing on our course relative to the Scott nomina tion, says : ' some deep rooted prejudice against Scott for home reason. other than ho attempts to assign, has erverted his intellectual vision." We can only hope by jesuitical logic to meet the like of the above a science in which wo aro not versed. Ilow can tho Editor say this, after what we have written in piaise of our old Commander 1 Like some other Editors, he asks the why and the wherefore on certain points, which have been a dozen times a.nswcrcd. This course inay answer the purpose intended with tho readers of those papers while our readers know that we have given a reason for our faith" on all occasions. A NOVELTY" . The Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald of Satur day lust says : "A raft GGO feet long and 60 wide, containing 60,15(5 cubic feet of timber, valued at S17.0QO conic through the Dismal Soamp Canal on Tueday, on its way to New York by the in land route. It was taken in tow by the steamer Jewess in the evening and towed up the hay as far as the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The raft was constructed in Pamlico Spuijd in North Carolina, and the timber cut froiu t))c. boiderin yellow pine forests. One of the pieces was 83 feet long by 32 incjics square, and contaiued 591 cubic feet. Its tollagu through the D. S. Canal, we learn, amounted to S450. E. H. Herbert, Esq., of l'rincpss Anne, the Argus states, is at the head of the enterprise." THE FISHERIES.

There has been, during the present year, twenty one Steam Boat accidents, involving loss of life. Thu number of persons killed and drowned is seven hundred and twenty-eight, and one hundred injured. EARTHQUAKE. Savannah, Geo., August 26. J The shock of an earthquake was felt in our! city yesterday morning about twenty minutes be- i fore three o'clock. j The vibrations were sensibly felt, and several ! persons in the city were so startled as to ran out! of their houses into tho open air. We were j awakened from a sound sleep by tho rattling of' the windows of our dwelling, and by a faint, dull, i rumbling noise as of distant thunder. We awoke J with the impression that some one was beating i nt I tip lt:irk dnm nf flu. fctni'V hi'lnw fnr nilmiiieii-.fi I , , , ... .i i . a i .u . . ': but almost instautlv became satisfied that it was i an earthquake. After tbc noise and vibrations, which lasted about six seconds, ceased, we roso and looked first at the Southern portion of the heavens. The stars wero shining brightly and tranquilly, the air was still, and tho sky in that direction, ws sufTused with n delicate roseate tint. Wo went immediately to the adjoining room and looked to the Northern sky. It wore? tho or dinary appearance of a cloudless heaven. As we referred to our watch a very few minutes afterwards, wc speak with certainty as to the time. The foreman of our office, however, is very positive that he felt vibrations which he says seemed to be from South to North, and heard tho rumbling noise of an earthquake about half after one o'clock. He left the printing rooms at ten minutes aflcr one, and had retired to his room 1 and to bed, on the apposite side of tho street, but J a few minutes, and befow he went to sleep the j shock occurred. If so, thcro were certainly two l shocks at least, which is highly probable. Wc ! believe it is tho uniform custom of earthquakes I to notify their existence by repeated shocks.

The following letter is sent to us for publication by tho Author. It seems that the Providence Post, to whom it was addressed, refused to pub lish it. We cannot see why, for it is made up of tlie words of an honest mau and a patriot. Such meu ought to be heard ; they may be in error in the opinion of some ; but still they ought to be heard. To the Editor of the Providence Post, (l)cm .) R. I. Stonington, Connecticut Aug 23. I have the same friendly feeling aud respect for Gen. Scott now that I bad when we first met as old brother soldiers, when I came ashore from the Brig Adams, at Black Rock iu October 1812, at the time I waj retaken from being a prisouer of war by Hull's surrender at Detroit; and when he grasped my only hand with both of his ond said 'good God, do I meet a brother officer who ha been in battle V' The icply was, "yes with three good limbs left for our country." And I respect him now as sincerely as I did when I was an officer in bis general staff at Baltimore, in thu winter or 1811 and 15. But I cannot be with him in his connection with Seward and Grecly abolitionism ; for with this ism he must aid, even against his will, all the abolition leaders to destroy our Union and country, which he has heretofore so ably and gloriously served and defended as a good citizen and soldier. Why is so much said upon tho military and civ il qualifications of Gen. Scott j why so much said upon his accepting tbo "nomination with the plat form" by the whigs ; why so many words and time spent by tho democrats against these qualifica tions. For this is the only question at issue, aside from office, for our Union citizens to settle ; for every citizen who is politically honest, to set tlewhich party and its candidates are tho most removed from Abolitionism of all shades and soils; and whicli party is most in pursuit of ism votes. In tbo first place, the sixty six Sew ard and Grec ly ism delegates to tho Baltimore. Convention vo ted against the Whig platform. General Scott bad no sooner accepted tho nomination upon the idat- , - , , , ' I iwiui uiuii hii uicau uuitgttius, unit oeivmu una Greely pulled him offand "spit upon the platform," and said it was "made by an ass" ; and it has became too slippery for the General to slaud upon since. The whigs, the Union whigs of New York and other Free States, do not calculate to succeed in the election but by the help of the Seward and Greely abolitionists, and by as many votes of all the ism parties as can be obtained by every pos sible deception ; and hence their intrigues with sll the ism parties under thefostering care of Gree ly, Seward and tho sixty-six delegates ; and with all other ism leaders who have votes to spare. Nor can the Whig party select a candidate but w hat he must depend upon tho Seward and Greely ism votes for any prospect of success. In tho second place, it is as much as can be said ; it is as much as can ever be said of any party while our Union citizens arc divided into two par ties, that the democratic party and its candidates are as far removed from the ism parties, from the present condition of seeking votes from the abo litionists, or from all other isms of the day, as any party and its candidates can ever be, till onr Un ion citizens unite in one national party, and there is not a Union citizen in our eouutry but will agree with all the statements in this paper, unless his partyism hasestroyed all his sense, reason and patriotism. But I am for our Union first and foremost, for without it wp have not a home on earth or a hope of Heaven. If it is possiblo to get a party and candidates with less abolitionism, with less seek- big after ispa votes, with less necessity for such rotes, I am for that party ; but I am inclined to judgc.thflt even Qiir best citizens, of high rank and great influence, would have to bo politically made over before we could get any purer materials to form such a party; and having no time to spare for this lenovation, I would recommend to the Union citizens to unite upon tho democratic can didates in this election ; and for them to tako tho candidates from the Union whigs upon the next election. I havo sent other political pieces to Messrs. Hallock, Bcnnitt, and Beach to publish in their free papers; but it is yet a question, whether there is an editor in our country eqnal to publish any thing really honest and national upon our elec tions, for fear they will havo to meat their own eases before tho public. With fraternal respect, '.lam your obedient sorvant. "k ft : ' :ir an nit v CHARLES LARRABEE. ARRIVAL OF. THE EMPICE CITV LATEH . , ; j TROM HAVANA. ' New Orleans, August 21. Tho Empire Cily has arrived with Havana dates of the 18th. Tbe excitement on the Island was daily increasing, and fresh arresis had been made. No one yet, how ever, It was believed, bad been put to death. It Is stated that many Spaniards aro engaged in this conspiracy, and that further seizures of munitions of war had been made. :, ; ' Tho Crealto.de hi Habana. . recently published an article stating that tbe Governer General has known from the beginning the persons engaged in circulating revolutionary document, but was waiting for more certain information. Tho Gov ernor has announced thai all persons convicted of these publications shall bo put to death The cholera, yellow fever and small pox is now raging to a frightful extent, and robberies and as sassinations were of daily occurrence. Accounts of the growing crops were favorable. Sugar quiet but firm. The stock of Coffee was small. Freights dull and vessels abundant. DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM. Portland, (Me., August 27 A very severe aud destructive hail storm passed over North Custino and BTOoksville, and neighborhood yesterday, doing serious damage. A largo number of win dows were broken, and much injury done the veg etation. It was accompanied with a severe wind, blowing down trees, &c. DEATH WHILE AT PRAYER. Piiii.adklpiiia, Aug. 27. Johu' C. WSples, tho superintendent of the Sailor's Home, iu this city, died last evening very suddenly. Ho was at a prayer meeting with the sailors of the Home, and was just concluding a prayer when he fell .over and died in ten minutes. LATER FROM MEXICO. . New Orleans, August 21 Advices havo been received from the cit v of Mexico to the 1, aud Vera Cruz to the 17th inst. f he country was in a very unsettled state. The insurrection at Ma zatlan continues. The insurgents had entered Guadalaxara, and the troops had been ordered there by the President. It was reported that Gen. Aranza had pronounc ed in favor of Arista as dictator. The Legislature of Vera proposes that the Gov- ertiintnt should effect an cxtraditiou treaty with the United States. The Robaledo movement was daily gaining ground, and at last accounts had become quite formidable. The government was endeavoring to effect an amicablo negotiation. Nothing new had occurred regarding the Tehu ant( pec route. The route for Point Mazatlan had been closed by order of tho government. luternui discords and revolutions wero rife throughout the entire country. The state of so ciety was jn a deplorable condition. General Persifer Smith left Now Orleans to-day for Washington, by special order of Gen. Scott. We learn from the St. Louis Intelligencer that several steamboats running from that city have abolished the bar usually kept on board of packet boats. Much good is said to have resulted from this, in the additional safety of passengers, owing to the fact that no opportunity is afforded cither to t.'iem or I lie otneers ol tho boat to indulge, m the spirit of recklessness resulting from tjio ex citement produced by drinking. TEN THOUSAND MEN WANTED. The superintendent of tho Illinois Central Rail Road has advertised for Jen thousand men to work on that road. As there are over seven hun dred miles to be completed, and as tho tompany has ample cash funds in bund, an excellent op portunity is ottered for employment for two or three years. Destruction of the National Road Stable. Cumberland, Md., Aug. 27 The extensive Na tional Road Stage Company's stables, on George street, aro now in flames, and will bo entirely con sumed, the combustiblo nature of tho buildings and their contents rendering the efforts of the firemen unavailing. This Is tbo third time they have been burnt down during the last four years. BESPERATE AFFRAY AT THE CIRCUS. It is reported by telegraph from Chateauga, N. Y., that a desperato fight occurred on Saturday afternoon between tho circus company of Sands and the citizens of that place, and that one man was killed and two others could not survive their wounds. An Irishman called on a lady and gentleman in whose employ he was, for tho purpose of getting some tea and tobaoco. ' I had a dhrcam last night, ycr honor," said he to the gentleman. "What was it.
