From the Ohio Statesman.
A Poor Season for Boilers.

The few designing persons who seem
desirous to play into the hands of Taylor
ism, by getting up 'bolters' tickets seem
to meet with poor success, generally. The
infamously proscriptive course Of the cor
rupt cabal at Washington has aroused a
spirit among the democrats that will work
bad for boilers this year.
The following, from our old friend,
CLAYTON Webb, one of the oldest and most
unhinching democrats in the State, speaks
the true language, and gives but poor en-
couragement to the few boilers in Hamil-
ton county, who are encouraged by their
success in electing Sheriff last year, at
the expense of a democratic Governor.
But boilers should recollect that they nev-
er succeed but once, if that, and then at
the expense of their future standing in the
party, as all history proves. We copy the
following from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
DEoLINAr1oN.-The following letter, from
our old true democratic friend, General
CLAYTON Webb of Anderson township, ex-
plains itself. The factious democrat who
has taken such liberties with the name of

we are in hopes will have the effect at least
to correct his manners, if not his democ-
racy. Those who think such old and tried
democrats as Gen. Webb, will permit their
names to be used in opposition to the reg
ular nominations of the party, mistake
| their men:

nant to my feelings, as well as the set

This is all right in wings, but had the dem

been the rankest treason, though the Free

Trouble at Washington.
WASHINGTON Cry, Sept. 18,

~ WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 18, 1849.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, generally well informed in
such matters, says that some weeks since,
Mr.. Poussein, the French Minister, address
sed a note to Mr.. Clayton, Secretary of
State, which that functionary deemed i'm
pertinent The Secetary of State, through
the American Minister at Paris, then ad-
dressed the French Government, asking
that the Minister be recalled, which re-
quest not being complied with, the Presi-
dent gave the French Minister hint to
leave, by rendering his passports, which
Mr.. Poussein accepted, and all Diplomatic
intercourse has ceased.
"Independent," the Washington cores
pondent of the North american, reliable
authority, speaking ofthe difficulty between
our government and the French Minister,
says:
The future is shrouded in doubt. Toe
queville, French Minister of Foreign af-
fairs, must resign, M. Poussin, the French
Minister to this government, must be kick
ed aside, and the French governmentmust
apologize, or serious rupture must ensue.
The Administr alton, here, will not advance
one inch or retract word. And if France
wishes war, as there is good reason to
suppose she does, the responsibility is on
her shoulders.
This case admits ofno diplomatic cob
bling. 1t is question of honor. in which
the United States cannot abandon its high
position.

From the Sandusky City Mirror.
A Good Joke.

1t seems that delegation of wings from
Trumbull county, in this State, hard press
ed at home by the failure Of the admins
tration to avow or practice anti-slavery
views, resolved to pop the question to Gen.
Taylor. The Pittsburgh Gazette (whig)
treated their efforts very ungraciously, as
witness the following from that paper: las
"The Mercer Luminary says that a
committee from the Western Reserve, Ohio,
visited that place and waited upon Gen.
Taylor, to inquire his views on the Will
mot Proviso. This was doubtless one of
the tricks of the so-called free democracy
of Ohio, which is in the lead Of Tappan,
Giddings, Chase and such like worthless.
They had laid their snare adroitly, but
General Taylor was too cool and shrewd
campaigner to be caught by such ma
neuvre. They wanted to know what his
opinion was with regard to slavery in the
new territories. He replied that it would
be settled constitutionally.' They piled
him with another question, as to the con-
stitutionality of the Wilmot Proviso. He
foiled them, by reiterating, that the matter
would be settled constitutionally.'" la.
The Warren Chronicle publishes the a
bove with the following explanation:
"This was no trick Mr.. Gazette, but
an absolute fact and reality. This verita-
BILE committee were the friends of General
Taylor, and was headed by the editor Of
the Trumbull County Wing, paper that
cannot be outdone in abject servility to the
slave power. We suppose there was too
much formality about it, and old Zack was
suspicious. Well, it served themjust right
They intended to manufacture something
to operate on this election, and we rejoice
that old Zack was too 'cool and shrewd a
campaigner to be caught by such a ma.
neuvre.' Try again"

From the New Orleans Delta
Revolution in Cuba.

Bv the British steamer which left Ia
yana on the 29th August, we have receiv-
ed, from our intelligent correspondent in
that city, the following letter, containing
the important intelligence Of the probable
commencement of the Revolution:
1t will be seen that the Government has
been driven to the desperate measure of
calling out the militia, and has organized a
force of 4 900 volunteers. These men will
be among the most efficient supporters of
the cause of independence. Though the
movements on the Island seem to be pre-
mature, the great unanimity of the people
in favor of Independence, induces us to
hone that it will meet brilliant success.
The points which are reported to have pro-
nounced are, next to Havana, the strong
est places on the Island. They are the
noints, too, where the friends Of indepen-
dence rally with the greatest strength.
1t will be seen that the English Consul
has sent for reinforcements for the English
fleet around the Island, to be on hand to
protect the property and lives of English
residents in Cuba. In the meantime, our
citizens are left without any adequate pro-
tection-there being no naval force sta
toned near that Island, the Raritan and
Saratoga having merely stopped for short
time, and then proceed to the North
Our Government seems to think that our
ships are better employed in watching and
harrassing our own citizens, and depriving
them of the right for which our fathers
fought, the right of expatriation.
