THE VICTIMS OF LdPElVS DlTUHtT.

a number of letters from the vicllms of Lo

Lopez, the scoundrel, has deceived us;
there is no doubt that all those reports about
the Cuban rising were all trumped up in
New Orleans. Lopex took nearly all his
command and deserted us. We were at
tacked by some 600 or 700 of the Queen's
troops the second day after we landed. Our
own gallant Crittenden did all any man
could do J but we all saw we had been de
ceived, and retreated to the sea shore, with
the intention of getting off to our own coun
try if possible, when we were taken prison
ers by the Habanero. Explain to my family
that I have done nothing but what was insti
gated by the highest motives ; that 1 die
with a clear conscience, and like a man
with a stout heart. I send my watch to you
It is for little Benny, my nephew. Good
byp, God bless you all.

of Cuba after the most horrible passage yoa
can conceive of, cooped on board with 400
or 500 men.
We arrived on Sunday last, I believe
dates t have almost forgotten. The next
morning, Lopez, with Gen. Paraguay and all
the conmanding officers, left us (I mean
Crittenden and his battalion). We heard
nothing more of him for two days, when
Crittenden despatched a note. He then re
quested we should join him at a little town
some 6ix or eight miles oil, leaving us in the
meantime to take care of all the bag.

We started for him on Wednesday morn.
tng at 2 o'clock, A. M., and had proceeded
Only two or three miles, when we were at
tacked by 500 Spanish soldiers. In the first
charge 1 received a very severe wound in
the knee. We repulsed them, however.
They made another charge and completely
routed us. We spent two days and nights,
the most miserable you can imagine, in
the chapparal, without any thing to eat or
drink.
We made the best of our way to the sea
shore, and found some boats with which we
put to sea. Spent a night upon the ocean
and next day, about 12 o'clock, were taken
prisoners by the Habanero, wore brought to
Havana last night, and condemned to die
this morning. We shall all be shot in an
hour.

has proved our suspicions correct. Per
sonally we have but little interest or feel
ing in the matter, especially as a number
of the candidates are our choice, but it is
useless to disguise the fact, that there is
much dissatisraction. Introducing new
elementg of discord for U)e purpose of ac,
complishitjg certain measures, may afford
' . ' J
temporary success, but in the end must
prove disastrous. That there should be
some reform in these matters is almost uni
versally admitted. Candidates should not
be permitted to bring into the Convention
tttt delegates as so much capital to trade
upon. X he delegates should belong to the

OEM. CASS) GEN. CAMERON, AND HIS
ENEMIES.
The McEwensvillo Intelligencer states
that the friends of Gen. Cameron, were
beaten out in their strong holds, in Sun
bury and In Delaware township, in the
lote delegate flections. This is perfectly
in character with that delectable sheet. In
this place there was no such issue, and no
election (or delegates was heli', the candi
dates having agreed upon the delegates
amonjr themselves. In Delaware the dele
gates Were elected by a trick against one
of the most popular and worthy men of
that township, but even there no such is
sue was made. If anything were necessary
to prove this fact, we need only say that
with scarcely a single exception, every
successful candidate on the ticket had been,
but a few days previous to the delegate
elections, among the warmest and most
zealous of General Cameron's friends, if
any reliance can be placed on their own
assertions, and oft repeated professions.
We in common with many others have
long been the personal and political friend
of Gen. Cameron, and where our views
have coincided, have acted with him, with
out having ever sought or received any fee
or reward whatever. Those who are now
disposed to strike at Gen. Cameron, and at
Gen. Cass, through him, will find their ef
forts utterly impotent, and may yet have
cause to repent of their error.
Thosp who chose to fall in the embrace
of Mr. Buchanan, have a right to do so, if
they can overlook his selfishness, and all
his recent imperfections, which are even
worse than his ancient federalism, when in
a speech in Lancaster, in 1815, he charged
the democratic parly as
"An opposition whose passions were so
dark and malignant as to be giatified in
endeavoring to blast the character, and em
bitter the old age of Washington ! After
thus persecuting the Saviour of his Coun
try, usays Mr. Buchanan," how cm the
democratic parly dare to call themselves his
disciples ?"
But even this might be overlooked more
readily than It is refusal to avow his opin
ions on the compromise resolutions, when
the permanency of the Union was in dan
ger, while at the same time he was in cor
respondence with the treasonable actors in
the Nashville Convention.
A DISTINGUISHED VISITOtt.
While at Sunbury last Monday, Jesse C.
Horlon, Esq., informed us that the Hon Jas.
Buchanan had stayed over Sunday with
him before he visited Lewiwbnri;. VVe hope
such an honor will make Mr. Horton a good
Buchanan man il he was not otic before.
In justice to Mr. Horton, we clip the
above from Mr. Buchanan's temporary or
gan, located and supported at McEwens-
ville, in this County, by a few political as
pirants. Mr. Horton is an independent
farmer, surrounded by every comfort, and
not the sycophant that the editor would
make him, and who could be thus flattered
into the support of Mr. Buchanan. Mr.
Horton is an old acquaintance of Mr. Bu
chanan, and treated him as such. We re
gret that there is yet too much of this era
ven and servile spirit among those who
call themselves men and democrats, and
who would crouch before such condescen
sion. Such men, in order to get a word,
a wink, or a nod from a distinguished man,
would be content to be kicked down stairs
ten minutes afterwards.
Cl'RA.
The news from Cuba though highly in
teresting, is still as conflicting as ever.
Gen. Lopez is undoubtedly highly censur
able, for leaving Col. Ciittenden and his
party, unprotected in a strange land, with
out guides. The gallant Colonel and his
men, however, though numbering but 114
men, repulsed the Spaniards, but were
overpowered next day by 700 Spanish
troops. In another column will be found
the letters of some of the unfortunate offi
cers of the party, who were executed.
Their melancholy fate must excite the
sympathy of every true American, and
will brins no little odium on the character
of Gen. Lopez. A telegraphic despatch
received since the above news came to
hand, announces that Lopez has been sue
cessful in every battle, and is marching to
wards Havana. The accounts are so con
tradictory, that it is almost impossible to
judge of the result.
JUDGE CAMPBELL.
We always regret the occasion that re
quires us to refer to this gentleman. But
as some of his indi treet friends will insist
that all opposition is owing to the fact that
Judge Campbell is a Roman Catholic, we
are compelled to deny the charge, This
cry of "stop thief" to avoid the true issue.
cannot save him. The fact that Judge
Campbell is a Catholic, and was educated
and reared by a Catholic priest, never had
any influence upon us, but his friends will
find that they will make nothing by at
tempting to get up the cry of persecution
in order to cover up his real deficiencies.
We do not know of a single Journal in the
State, opposed to Judge Campbell on any
other grounds, than his utter incompetency
and the manner by which he secured his
nomination. We are not lo be frightened
from a sense of duty in opposing an inconv
petent man, by telling us that he is a Calh
olic, or that that religion should screen
man. more than if he were a Lutheran,
Metoodist or Prebyterian.

PRESIDENT JUDGE.
The delegates of Lycoming county on
Thursday,' the 29th nit., nominated John
W. Maynard, Esq., for President Judge ol
this district. The tote In Convention,
stood, viz t May tiard 51, Fleming 39. As
the matter now stands, we think there can
be no doubt of the nomination of Alexan
der Jordan, Esq., of this place. The strong
democratic counties of Northumberland
and Centre, have instructed their Confer
ees lo vote for him, Clinton for Major
Fleming, and Lycoming for Mr. Maynard.
Mr. Jordan's election if nominated is ren
dered almost certain, and we presume there
can be little or no doubt of his nomination.
tOLUMHIA COURTY.
The democratic Convention of Colum
bia county, on Monday last, put in nomi
nation John S. Follmer, for Assembly,
Leonard Bi Rupart, and Stephen Baldy, for
Associate Judges. Samuel Creasy, for
Treasurer, Jacob Eyerly, for Trothonotary,
and Jesse S. Clark, for Register and Recor
der. Resolutions in favor of the Compro
mise Resolutions of the last Congress, were
passed. These resolutions meet with favor
from the entire true democracy of Penn
sylvania. Gen. Cass took a 'bold and pa
triotic" stand in favor of those measures.
Mr. Buchanan, on the other hand, though
appealed to at that trying hour, was, as
usual, perfectly non committal, lest he
might displease the disunionists of the
South, and injure himself.
K?" The Whig Convention Was held
at this place, on. Wednesday last. A full
icket was not nominated. Jacob Seas-

McEwensville, for Associate Judges. Reso

THE RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans papers gives an entile
different version of the riots at that place.
The Spanish Consul's house was not ran
sacked as had been stated, and himself driv
en for refuge to the jail.
The New Orleans Bulletin, ol the 22d
ult., says:
They paid a visit to the Spanish Consul,
whom Ihey treated with rough courtesy.
The cause of provocation, as we understand,
being his refusal or omission, to deliver the
letters from the murdered victims to their
friends, which had been directed lo him.
No injury was done to him personally, or to
his properly. There were no buildings rics-
truyed, or even defaced, and the destruction
of property was inconsiderable.
The New Orleans True Delta, on the other
hand, says i
The office or store of Mr. Laborde, the
Spanish Consul, near the now Custom
House, was assaulted. 1 he sign of the Con
sul was borne through the streets as a tro
phy, and was burned iu Lafayetto Square
Eleven and a half o'clock, P. M. Three
several demonstrations have been made
upon the ''Whitehall." Each lime the at
tention of the mob was diverted from the
establishment by tho assurance of citizens
that it is not now conducted by Spaniards.
The house was garrisoned by fifty armed
men. and it is a matter of gratulation that
the threatened assault was not made, elsa
we might have to close our report w ith a
sanguinary record. The cigar slore of Her
nandez, on Royal street, uudei the St. Louis
Hotel has been gutted. An attempt has
been made to enter the cigar store of Cabal
leros. at the corner of Koyal and Custom
House streets, but the doors and windows
were found loo strong, and Ihe place was
abandoned. A triul was also mado on tha
coffee-house of a Spaniard, at tha corner of

FURTHER. PARTICULARS OF THE CUBAN
EXPEDITION.
One Hundred and Fourteen Men Captured.
Baltimore, August 31.
We hnve to night the New Orleans papers
of the 23d only, leaving one m'nil still due.
It appears from the accounts from Havana
published, thnt Col. 'Crittenden,' with 114
men, were left at Bnltia Honda by Gen.
Lopez, In charge of the bnpgngi, whilo he
advanced upon Las Pozns. During the next
day, 700 Spanish troops landed near Bahia
Honda from the steamer Pizarro, and cnl off
Col. Crittenden and his men from their com
panions. Col. Crittenden then attempted td
make his way through them, wilh a view to
join Gen. Lope, when he was attacked by
the Spaniards, who were repulsed, after a
brief but severe engagement .
The Spaniards afterwards made a second
charge upon them, and completely ronled
Col. Crittenden and hia parly. Col. Critten
den rind the men who nccompnnied him
spent the two miccceding dnys in the thap
pnrals, without anything to etit, when fifly
of them succeeded in making their way to
the sea shore, where Ihey found a number
of boats, in which they embarked and spent
the night on the ocean. On the day follow
ing they were taken prisoners.
Thoro are still 64 of this party mi'sing, of
whom 40 tvero shot in a small f.inn-liouso.
A Spanish lieutenant reports that on tho 14ih
ho came upon 20 "pirates," guarding' an
equal number of wounded comrades, nil of
whom were immediately put to death. The
remninins 24 were also slaughtered.
The New Orleans papers publish let lei s
written by Captain Biandt, Kerr and James,
previous to their execution. They nte
brief being merely last adieus lo thrir
friends.
A funeral procession in honor of tho slain,
was talked of, and the streets were crowded
with people, but all was quiet.
There is no account of the Spanish Consul
taking refuse in tho jail. Tha outrages re
potted were committoed by thu lowest class
of people. '
A CASK IN POINT.
Tho whig papers have found and are now
engaged in publishing the documents, prov
ing the fact conclusively that Judge Lewis,
when a boy actually ran away fiotn his
master in HaTi.-bnrg, ami began the world
upon his own ''hook". We admit this ju
venile delinquency on the part of tho demo
cralio candidate, and plead justification !
The relation of master and uppreuliue, in
this country, subsists for a specified object
and the latter as well ns I ho former has
rights, feelings and interests at slake. Mas
ters who act the petty tyrant, tire presuming
decidedly too much upon tho republican
spirit of their boys, and that same American
spunk, which mado Jackson refuse to black
the boots of tho Brit ish ollicer, often prompt
to rebellion and uepaiation, overtasked ap
prentices. Il would not allow Judge Lewis,
when a boy, to remain a menial and a slauef
nor will il any others similaily circumstan
ced. Fur tho alternative heudoplud, ho had
an illustrious example a case in point, as
the lawyer would say. We know that the
great philosopher and statesman Ben.
Franklin, left his own brother, for reasons
not more com-nt, and the world ihoouht not
the less of him for it. Why should it now
