IB OM HAVASTA.
lo ibo Hitidi correspondence of the
Jf«W York Cowrier des Etcits Unis, by
tb« Quaker Citj, we find two or three
items of news, which we translate.
The Kx-President of the Republic of
Salto Domingo, Gen. Baez, had just been
•pending some time in llavana. He is
1 mulatto, of thirtji 8tx or thirty-eight
jean of age, of small stature, amiable
tnd polite enough, but of moderate talent
08 far as the opportunities of the writer
Bod enabled him to judge, and as he con-
siders (bo short period of his late admin-
istration pretty well proves. It will be
reeolleeU£«hat be was exiled from the
Tcpoblio by Santa Ana, who accused him
af^onnitittg with the blacks of Porte-
Sjo-Prinoe. More lately still, Santa Ana,
i invasion, issued a procla.
declaring thot if he invaded the
Itry, bo would be treated as a pirate
Bui now thot Qen. Santo Ana haBretired
from power the ambition of Baes has been
so awakened He left Havana on the I2tb
iost., for St. Thomas, which will serve
kin first os o port of departure, il favor
oblo opportunities should present them-
selves. He will do well, however; says
the writer, not to maifest too much sym
potby with the black party of the island
tf he does not wish to be exposed to be
treated ss enemy, even by the feeble
portjhe bos at Santo Domingo. Fur
the rest, his chances of success are con
sidored very problematical.
The correspondent of the Courrier
soys thot notwithstanding great political
tranquillity seems to prevail at Havana,
be is assured that some persons had late-
ly been arrested on a charge of oonspir-
jng against the .government, and that a
goldsmith of New Orleans, established
•t Havana, hod been particularly men
tioned aa one of then . The arrests, he
soya, had cased absolutely not the slight-
est Sensation. *
This writer says that the' Captain
General, unless be should suffer a relaps,
was quite out of danger from h¡B attack
of tbe vomito. The disease was commit"
ting considerable ravage at Havana, he
says, especially among the crews of mer-
chant vessels. At Santiago de Cuba, he
is igSOrod that it was committing ter-
ribvbavoc, fifty per cent, of those at-
tacked dying. The people were retiring
into the eountry. The Archbishop,
who was convalescent from an attack;
Was about to go to Spain.
Ho denies ihat there is any cholera,
properly so ealled, at Havana. There
bad been a few cases of cholerine in the
hospitals. Nothing more.—¿V. O. Pie-
The rites of hospitality are very an-
it, and held to be saored amongst
oil nations. To break bread with one íb
oonsiderd as reoeiving pledge of invio-
lable friendship. Judas having taken
bread at Jesus' hands greatly aggrava
ted bs teachery- If all who have heard
isra at the head of this article,
aprehended its origin and mean
sh mischief and heart-burning
rethren would hare been preven-
titude is the basest of sins,
oaétfce worst species of ingratitnde is
90 feiarepresent, betray and injure those
whose hospitalities we have shared.
Longusge, cannot be found adequate to
to express the enormity of an offence
thot consists in reoeiving kindness from
the generous outfiowings of a warm
hearted £waily, and then to use such
Aurora as an opportunity to injure and
calumniate it Let all, hut especially
Christians, remember the meaning of
encraso* It is a term thst uow passes
current ss significant of secrecy. Its
origin is in this wise : Among the
Checks the rose was consecrated to Hip-
pocrates, the genius of silenoe ; and ei-
ther the rose or its figure was placed up-
on the eeiling of their dining rooms, im-
plying that whatever was done therein
should be kept from the public. It was
done sub-rosa.
Every one has read of the "action,
action" of Demosthenes, and what a vari-
ety of emotions and passions Beseius
could express by mere gestures; let it
not be supposed, howeve , that such per-
ftntioM of art belonged to the ancients
only. Tbe following anecdote of Will-
iaip 0. Preston is illustrative of our re
narks:
Some years ago, among a thousand
others, we were listening to one of bis
Slendid harangues from the stump,
sside us was one aa deaf as a post, in
breatblesa attention, catching, apparent
ly, every word that fell from th«. orator's
lips- Now the tears of delight would
roll down his cheeks, and|now, in ungov-
ernable ecstaey, be would shout out ap-
plonse, which might have been mistaken
. for the noise of a small thunder storm.
At length Preston launehed forth one
•f those passage of massive declamation
which thóeewho have beard him know
him to be so eapable of uttering. In
apgnifieent splendor, it was what Byron
hm described tbe mountain storms of
Jara. Its effeet upon the multitude
was like o whirlwind. Our deaf friend
oOoMl oontain himself no longer, but
howling in our ear, as if be would blow
it open with o tempest, he cried:
"Who's that speaking ?"
"William 0. Preston fi we replied as
basé so our lungs would let as.
"Whot" inquired he, still louder than
u William 0 Preston, of South Caroli
Bo P replied we, almost splitting our
threat in the effort.
«Well, well I" returned he «I can't
hear a word ho ee you are saying, but
«sot Jerieho, don't he make the motions

At Black Republican meeting at
>n County, Wiseonson.on
the following resolutions
That is the doty of the
North, in esos they fail in electing
President and a Congress that will res-
ero freedom to Kansse, to revolutionis-e
Government."
the american platform.
Philadelphia, Feb, '21 —The Nation-
al American Council passed this even-
ing the platform of principles published
on the I5th inst., in the Washington
Organ, as a substitute for the whole
platform established by the June Con-
vention. The vote stood yeas 108, nays ¡
77. Various members from Ohio made
speeches on the subject, some declaring ,
that the platform was a death blow to \
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex*
pressed themselves content, and defend-
ed Mr. Ford, of Ohio, from the charge
of Blaek Republicanism made by Mr.
Bennett, of New York.
The platform alluded to is as follows :
l. An humble acknowledgement to
tbe Supreme Being who rules the uni
verse for His protecting care, vouch-"
safed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
manife-ted to us, their descendants, iu
the preservation of the liberties, the in-
dependence, and the uniou of these
States.
2 The perpetuatiou of the Federal
Union as the palladium of our civil and
religious liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans nutst rule America; and
to this end native born citizens should
be selected for all State, federal and mu-
nicipal offices or government employ-
ment, in preference to naturalized citi-
zens. nevertheless,
4. Persons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
entitled to ail the rights of native born
citizens; but
5. No person should be selected for
political station, (whether of native or
foreign birth,) who recognizes any alle-
giance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
er, or who refuses to recognise the Fede-
ral and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as paramount to all other
laws, as rules of political action.
9. The unqualified recognition and
maintaimtnee of the reserved rights of
the several States, and the cultivation-
of harmony and fraternal good will be-
tween tbe citizens of the several States,
and • to this end, non-interference by
Congress with questions appertaining
solely to the individual States, and non-
interventiou by each State with the af-
fairs of any other State.
7. The recognition of the right of the
native-born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing
if any Territory thereof, to frame their
constitutions and laws, and to regulate
their domestic and social affairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visidns of the Federal Constitution, with
the right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite popu-
lation for one Representative in Con-
gress, Provided alioays, that none but
those who are citizens of the United
States, under the constitutions and laws
thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any such Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enactment of la^s for said Ter-
ritory or State.
8. An enforcement of the principle
that no State or Territory can admit
others than native born citizens to the
right of suffrage, or of holding political
office, unless such persons shall have
been naturalized according to the laws
of the United States.
9. A change in the laws of naturaliza-
on, making a continued residence of
twenty one years, of all not heretofore
provided for*an indispensable requisite
or citizenship hereafter, and excluding
all paupers, and persons convicted of
crime, from landing upon our shores ;
but no interference with the vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union betweeu
Church and State; no interference with
religious faith or worship, and no test
oaths for office, except those indicated
iu the 5tb section of this platform.
11. Free and thorough investigation
into any and alleged abuses of public
functionaries, aud a strict econoaiy iu
public expenditures.
12. The maintenance and enforcement
of all lafts until said laws Bhall be re -
jealed, orshall be declared null and void
ay competent judicial authority.
13. Opposition to the reckless and
unwise policy of the present administra-
tion in tbe general management of our
national affairs, and more especially as
shown in removing 44 Americaus," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin-
ciple, from office, and placing foreigners
and ultrci8ts in their places; as showD
in a truckling subserviency to tbe strong-
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown
in re-opening seOtional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as
shown in granting to unnaturalized for-
eigners the right to suffrage in Kansas
and Nebraska; as shown in its vacilla
ting course on tbe Kansas and Nebraska
nestion; as shown in the removal of
udge Bronson from the Collectorsbip
of New York upon false and untenable
grounds; as shown in the corruptions
which pervade some of the departments
of the government; as Bhown in disgrac-
ing meritorious naval officers through
prejudice or capriee; and as shown in
the blundering mismanagement of our
foreign relations.
14 Therefore, to remedy existing
evils, and prevent the disastrous conse-
quences otherw'se resulting therefrom,
we would build up the " American par-
ty" npon the principles herein before
stated, eschewing all sectional questions
and untiring those purely national, and
admitting isto said party all American
citizens, (referred to in the third, fourth
and fifth sections,) who openly avow the
principles and opinion heretofore ex-
ed, and who will subscribe their
names to this platform. Provided,
nevertheless, that a majority of those
members present at any meeting of a
local council where an applicant applies
for membership in the American party
may, for any reason by them deemed
sufficient, deny admission to such ap-
plicant.
1.5- A free and open discussion of all
political principles embraced in our plat
form.
Respectfully submitted.
