TIER GREAT W RIG FAILURE —We enticed yester
day morning the failure of the whig meeting that w.is
&held on Thursday afternoon. The small gathering of
;,slootny looking office hunters and indifferent spectators
.who went to see the show, was a sorry sight fur the
great whig party that in 1840, could, with a few hours
motice, gather an enthusiastic multitude of thousands.
miserable as the afternoon meeting appeared, it
was 'highly respectable,' in point of numbers and spi
t/it. when compared with the one that was held in the
4evening.

f,iproceedings of a Clay meeting. Having secured the
Rockets, F o tgbting Serpents, and Flying Pigeons, as
auxiliaries to the arguments 6f the speaken,their next
movement was to secure a band of music, and send it
—through the city, after the fashion of the Menageries
and Circuses, to give notice that a meeting would be
.held in the evening. The object of this movement

;being known it auracted but little uttention, and a short
1 time before dark, they procured some of the banners

re
and boys, all told, three-fourths of whom we a

i -certain cared not a straw. for Clay, and were only in
i'liuced to attend the meeting by the attraction of the
Vire Works.
.... t. _After all the trouble they had to get up the meeting,
their worst enemies could not desire that they should
be subjected to further annoyance. But "misfortunes
seldom come singly," says the old saw, and the poor
; ;whip fully realized the truth of the adage on Thurs
i.sany eight. The clouds had been gathering during the
4tveising, and appeared to be concentrating their forces
[fried grand display, and just as the meeting organized,
'oft 'ope'd their portals,' and such a storm of wind.
I,rain, thunder nod lightning as burst over the heads of
idle poor devoted coons was never before witnessed by
that most respectable and well known individual, the
lest inhabitant.' For a time the wind blew a per
hurricane; the rain poured down fast and furious,
!wetting the coons to the skin and spoiling their fire
Zirits; the thunder reverberated in loud tones, rebuk

They stood the 'pelting of the pitiless sterna' fur some

rushed with all possible speed. To add to their
despondency, the first person that addressed them was
itt candidate for whig laurels who bore the ominous
;mtoe of Coils!! The name of the orator, however,
gid not seem to be inappropriate to the occasion, for
With the exception of a few democrats who were pres
tint to enjoy the sport, the audience looked more like

i liethbag but gloorn,despoodency and disappointment
lerzoned the meeting, and at last it was proposed by
'pence of a sanguine temperament. that they
should give three cheers fur Clay and go home. This
rash proposition startled many of them, but at length
they assayed the cheersl-altsksit such cheers! Mr Cor
n?' might well exclaim, "liiiCfrOm the tomb a dole
ful sound," sad we would nut wonder if Mr Fox should
mistake it for a very good imitation of the vernacular
of his four-footed namesake. If Ilenry City bad seen
that company and heard that miserable ghost of a
cheer, lm would abandon all hope of ever living a ten
ant of the White House; give up all his ambitious
schemes, retire to his "beloved Ashland," us he is wout
to call his residence in his demagogue harangues, and
there quietly spend the balance of his days in rearing
"virgin heifers," taking care of the "fat and sleek
slaves," of whom he boasts ; and making atonement for
the many transgressions that have been charged upon
him by the editor of the Gazette.
Such is a faithful picture of the result of all the ef
forts that the whip have been making fur weeks pnst
to have a meeting that would infuse something like the
semblance of spirit iLto their party. They have been
disippointcd—aadly disappointed, and it is very doubt
ful whether they will venture to call another meeting
during the present contest.
The must cutting piece of satire we have seen
fur some time past, is the account given by the Amer.
icon of the whig meeting. on Thursday evening. It
is certainly more sensible of the editor to speak of the
meeting with mock enthusiasm than to attempt to ex
plain the causes of its failure. But then he should
not practice his wit with such a solemn air, for many
who may not have means to know the true character
of the meeting, might, from the tone of his article, be
induced to believe that he was serious in the account
he gave of it.
\VIA:LW:CT 60.—Tho American and Gazette an
nounced with a great flourish that arrangements bad
been made for the accommodation of the Ladies at
the meeting on Thursday afternoon. But the Ladies
had too much sense to neglect their proper duties fur
the purpose of mixing in political gatherings, and de
cli led attending.

a greater amount of accurate information of the local

obtain by any other means.

it not be wisdom in our City Councils to et once aban

Hours of many stores on the levee are covered with wa

with whom we have conversed on the subject. The
whole levee is inundated, and entirely impassable.—
The lower part of Second street is also under water.

The business connected with the river is necessarily

WADDY THOMPSON OF SOUTH CAROLINA
AND THE WHIGS OF ALBANY.
The nomination of Gov, Polk.. and the enthusiasm
it bee produced in the ranks of the Democracy. have
completely dispirited our opponents. The- Whip of
Albany hit upon an expedient on Friday hist, by which
they thought they would be able toinfusea little new
life into tlitir patty. Hearing that ;Noddy Thomp-
I ion was on his way to that city, and knowing him to
be a friend of Henry Clay, they determined to
call a meeting forthwith. The following is from the I
Evening Journal:
"We have the pleasure to announce that General
W ADDY THOMPSON, of South Carolina, late our
Minister to .Mexico, is expected in to-day's boat from
New York, and will address the Electors of Albany at
the CITY 'HALL. THIS EVENING, at half-past 7 o'clock
on the TEXAS QUESTION Gen Tttostreori is a
most eloquent and affective speaker, and his recent
misshm to Mexico will impart additional interest and
value to what he may say on the all-engrossing sub
ject of ANNEIEI,IIGL We have reason tobelieve that
one or two other members of Congress will accompa
ny Gen TuomPsort, and if so, they will also address
the people
There hos been no :irate to give very general notice
of the meeting this evening. It is desirable,therefore,
that every 11 hig who does see the notice should atteni
without fail. General Thompson, at much personal
inconvenience, has yielded to a pressing invitation to
come up the river and address the whip of our city.
Let us reciprocate the coitrtesy by a general and punc
tual attendance at the City Hall TO NIGHT. There
ought to he 'minute-men' enough among, the sterling
whigs of Albany to fill the City Hall to overflowing
even nn this short notice. Let thefriends of "CLAY,
FRELINGHUYSEN and the TARIFF" show them
selves in their might.
In order to insure a full attendance they posted
handbills all over the city, headed "TEXAS AND
THE TARIFF." "Many," says the Albany Atlas,
"were brought to the place of meeting by the appa
rent change of issues which the announcement seemed
to imply. Between the whigs and those of other po
litical persuasions, who responded to the new cry of
Tariff and Texas," there was a full meeting. Th.s
wits pleasant to the whigs. for it had been impossible
for them to get edecent gathering in this city since the
nomination of Mr. Clay."
Now for the result--every thing thus far had pro
ceeded favorably. The deception had succeeded.
"Texas." in large letters at tire head of their posted
bills, had induced many democrats to attend. The
whigs feltislated with what they as yet supposed to
be the resultof skilful management. But, alas! Wad
dy Thompson was introduced to the audience, and as
the Atlas says:
"He addressed the meeting in a most extrao-dinary
and unexpected manner. He announced that he teas
opposed to Me Tat if, and that he felt called on to
pro, laim this his opinion, as the language of the call
had made this a prominent topic of the meeting. lie
was in favor also of the annexation of Texas, me
diately or immediately, ns policy might dictate. II
then proceeded to eulogize and deletel John Tyler,
whose honesty, in particular, he dwelt on with much
emphasis. On hearing these unexpected avowals, the
consternated coons fled dismayed."
The remarks of Mr Thompson so completely astoun
ded the whigs, that they were afraid to risk any more
speakers, though G.r, Foot, of Vermont, was present
and expected to speak. He is an undoubted whig, and
would have, if he had been permitted to spenk,urgued
in favor of the Tariff, and against Texas: But no! the
poor whigs were frightened, and aftaid to trast even
Gov Foot, after the rich treat they had received from
Mr Thompson.

CRUELTY TO AMERICAN CITIZEN.;
The Philadelphia North American of Monday c
the (0111/WIIIT, letter from a correffiondent. It
contains a narrative of monstrous cruelty:
HA TAN A, June 9th. 1341.
Since I last wrote to you, I have visited Cardenas,
now rowdier anthchamherof hell. Cruelties at which
the heart sicken, are daily practised. Unw ired. of
negroes have perished under the lash during exatninn
tote,all protesting their innocence to the lust! Ant
many, if not all them, ai innocent of participation iu
the plot of an insurrection, as the angels in !leaven.
The place where the. negroes are whipped. has be
come very offensive to the neighborhood from the
quantity of putrified flesh torn by the whip from their
backs! A short time since, a Florida Indian, a very
worthy roan, who had long, resided in the Island,
was arrested on suspicion of being one of the insur
gents. He was taken to Cardenas, where, refusing
to criminate himself, lie was whipped to death! On a
sugar estate in that neighborhood, forty-six negrt
were most cruelly tortured, seven of whom died un
der the operation. On another entate. after attempt
ing in vain to extort cenfesnionn of guilt by whippinz,
those fiends, called in Spanish, tincales, [nut eitors]
applied red-hot irons to the bleeding backs of the ne
groes!

through clouds of dust, to Condemns. Mr !Voltam
was confined in the stocks, among whipped negroes,
loathsome from their wounds, twenty days, and in
irons 10 days. Mr Bisby was in the stocks seventeen
days, and inn irons nine days; and would have ended
his days in irons, but for the interposition of a physi
cian, who assured the Inquisition that be could not sur-
vive twenty-four hours longer, being very ill of a fever,
Tlwrenpon, he was taken out of irons, and with the
medical and other assistance rendered him, he recov
ered While at Cardenas, I learned that an early
representation of these out rages had been made to
our Government by our Consul at that place, Mr Gage;
and it is to be hoped that it will not be passed over
unnoticed .
1=131121E2
After a confinement of seventy days in Cardenas,
Moffatt and Bisby were sent to Matanzas fur trial.—
On their arrival, the officers having them in charge,
allowed them to stop at the U. States Consul's office;
but the time was so short, the Consul, Mr Rodney,
could not obtain from them a full account of their suf•
ferings, and culled at the prison the next morning,but
was not allowed to see them. Ile hns, however, as I
urn informed, sent to the Governor of the place, a very
spirited remonstrance agninat the proceedings of the
Inquisition in these and other cases that have come to
his knowledge. It is still confidently asserted here,that
a force is to be sent from the United States, to redress
the wrongs of our countrymen who have suffered unjust
inAprisonment on baseless suspicion of having been con
cerned in the plot of the insurrection. Until the ar
rival of this force, little or nothing can be done for
their relief by our Consuls, who, 1 ant proud to say,
have discharged their duty in the matter.
To O'Donnell and his tribe, the affair of the insur
rection will be very lucrative. Property to the amount
of $309,000 belonging to the free blacks and mulat
toes now undet arrest, has been attached. That nil
of them will be found guilty will be readily perceived
by every person at all acquainted with the villainy and
cupidity of a Spanish tribunal. Independently of 0%
Donnell's salary as Governor General, his proportion
of the plunder added to the gratification of $l7 per
head fur every negro landed by the slaves, will give
him this year, a handsome fortune. I cannot close

without mentioning a circumstance which, while it is
highly creditable to Mr Moffatt, entitled him to better
treatmont_than he has received at the hands of the

horseback, with a sword, single-handed, and kept in
check until the arrival of the troops, two hundred and
fifty negroes, defended by shields and armed withcane

INTELLIGENCE FROM PHILADELPHIA
Correspondence of the BaltintoreSun.
PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, A. M.
Fire and Fireman's Fight.—On Monday morn
ing, between one and two o'clock, a barn, belonging
to some orphan children by the name of Prenferts, sit
uate on the Moyamensing road, opposite the Yellow
Cottage, was entirely destroyed by fire. From the
circumstances attending it, there can be no doubt that
the fire was the work of design. As the Wecacoc
Engine Was passing the Wharton Market, a shower
of brickbats took effect on the engine and among the
members, who say they came ft om the roof of the mar
ket, a el, it is supposed, from the members of the South
wark Engine, whose house is situate at the north end
oldie market. Two of the paintings an the pannels
()film Weccaooe are battered, and several of the mem
bers were hurt: one by a brick, which cut clear though
his hat. This finished the ntTait for the time, both en
gines, after the fire had burned itself out, being lodged
in their respective houses.. A couple of hems after,
however, n party of the Weccacue members proceeded
to the Southwark Engine-house, broke open the doors,
and drugged the apparatus up Second street as fur as
Queen, the bricks flying as it passed. This morning
it was returned to the house by Mr. Cassady, the su
perintendent of police; and Alderman Martz. The
paintings nn the panne,' are nearly obliterated, one of
the arms brokensaff, the horn and the brunch pipes
bent into all manner of shapes, and an eagle cn one
side broken off. Si, the affair stands at present; but
there is no doubt that thu next fire, occasi med either
by nut-Aden , . or design,will be the scene of another riot,
unless the authorities take some efficient measures to
prevent it.
Fourth of July Banners.—Daring the last week
upWards of $llOO were collected in seven wards of
the city and county by the ladies; for the purpose of
purchasing gorgeous banners to be presented to the
Nativp American Associations of their respective
wards 011 the approaching Fourth, while the entire
sum expended for a like purpose by all the wards will
probably reach $3500. Three full-rigged ships = men
of-war—are now building, and will also appear in the
great procession of the Natives. It will be a great
day, but I fear, under the present state of the public
mind, all will nut pas* off quietly. God grant wit may
not be called upon to witness another repetition of a
series of frightful scenes of violence.
Charageoqs if £rue.—One of our papers this mor•
nine, relates an outrage perpetrated yesterday on n
Sister of Charity. whilst musing up Market street,
which it is to be hoped for the character of our city
is not true. It is stated that she met a young man
with a roll of paper under his arm. Y. d— Pa
pist b—," said he to her ns she approached; and he
struck her across the face with Ilia bundle. A short
time since the same paper asserted that two young
men spit in one of their faces, whilst passing through
the market house, telling her that she wai a "rriest's
wife." The Native Americans, however, positi:ely
deny the accusation.

can give no clue to it herself, for she vi as not hurt %%hen
she gm in.
Stolen Gonda Recoarrerl.—Tt appears that Daily,
alias Harvey, the robber of Mr. Al*Kie, whil , t in
prison herr, confeswd that he had committed a string
of exten.ive burglaries, farm Pittsburgh southwest to
New Orleans and Mobile , and that he had stolen
property concealed to the value of $3,000. musiice
Matsell, with Mr 0. - sbiwn, clerk of police, acting un
der the order s of Ow Mayor. employed officers Relyea,
G F Hayes, and Kellinger, who succeeded finally in
finding the stolen goody in a large box, in the railroad
depot at Boston, which was brought on here and open
ed. In it were large quantities of linen and cotton
laces, lace shawls, silk end satin by rho piece, silk
shawls and handkerchiefs, rich lace veils, linen by the
piece, ribbons, gloves. &c. For these the owners are
discovered, who will soon be on to identify and claim
them. There is an important fart connected with the
recovery of the $lO,OOO that may or may not be told
ere long.
Breach—Loss of Life.—On tho 17th inst., the
Canal broke 3 miles from Log,an4port, Is., and ran
into the river—n Canal boat passing at the time was
carried dome the bank with great rapidity—it came in
contact with a tree and brok in three pieces, by which
three lives were lost, viz: Mr Thomas Emerson, of
Logansport, Mr Griffith, of Fort Wayne, and a young
man unknown. It is feared more were lost and not
recovered.—Cist Com.
Novel Procedure.—lt is positively asserted in the
New York papers, that Mr Curtis, Collector of the
port of New York, intends to resist the appointment
of Gov Van Nees to his office, mainly on the ground
that the President has no authority to appoint any one
to fill a vacancy that occurs during the session of the
Senate, after the adjournment of , that body. He con
tends that the office of collector wits declared vacant
when Chas G Ferris was appointed and rejected du
ring the session of the Senate, and that as the vacancy
was not subsequently filled, he must act as collector
until the next assembling of Congress. The ground
on which he will contest the legality of the new ap
pointment may be seen in the following article of the
Constitution, which is the clause on which the whole
matter hangs.
ARTICLE it—Sect 2 and 3—The President shall
have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen
durAg the recess of the Senate, by granting com
missions which shall expire at the end of their next
session.
L Congress has decided that corporeal punish
ment shall not be abolished in the Navy, and that
the spirit ration shall not be withheld. The latter
provision may be consideAd as in some measure ne
cessary for the carrying out of the former.
