THAT BROKEN SWORD.

Few questions of great historical inte-
rest have been involved in more doubt
than those connected with the sword
breaking exploit that occurred on the oc-
casion of HUBS surrender Who it was
that broke the sword still remains mys-
tery-whether Colonel Macarthur, Colo
mel Miller, or Colonel Cass. The histo-
ries and the newspapers Of the day say
that it was Colonel Macarthur. The ora
tors of the Baltimore convention and the
Locofoco journals, during the late Presi-
dental canvass, said that it was Colonel
CAss.
During the late campaign, areward was
talked of for the production of the pieces
of that sword 1t was supposed that the
real thing could not fail to produce a con-
viction among the faithful that would ope.
rate powerfully in behalf of the Baltimore
candidate. The non-production of the
corpus staggered belief little, and is sup
posed to have united with other causes in
defeating General CAss before the people.
What was such great warrior without his
sword Nothing.
His friends will be gratifed to learn
that this difficulty is removed for the mex
campaign. We learn from the Gazette,
of Cincinnati, that the hilt and portion
of the blade of the very sword said to have
been broken in the stump by Gen. CAss
had arrived in that city. A portion of the
belt was attached, much cut and hacked
in its edges, showing more marks of broi
and battle than did the sword and bucklel
of FALsTAFF after the celebrated encoun
ter on the road by Gadshill-" my buck
Ter cut through and through; my sworc
hacked like handsaw, ecce signum."
The reproduction of this interesting
relic Just at this period is well calculated
to revive and reinvigorate the spirits o
Hunkerism. 1t will be an immense care
in the next canvass. We can readily i'm
agine the excess of enthusiasm which it.
exhibition will arouse among the faithful
| II cannot but excite the fervor of the an
tiquarian as well as Of the patriot. Wha
has been its fate since the memorable day
it was shattered in the stump From wha
custody is it now producedl We hope
that these questions, which are likely t.
become Of permanent historicalimportance
will be accurately examined and thai
the relics, with proper proofs of identity,
will be deposited in some public institu
ton, where they may continue in after
ages to stimulate the rising valor of Anne.

other-and believing that when both conventions
had resolved that they were opposed TO the extern
sion of slavery into territories now free there was
no such substantial grounds OF difference as should
have prevented their united action-and believing
also that among the great mass Of Democratic cleo
tors of the State there is not upon this or any other
question difference of opinion which should pre-
vent their hearty cooperation at the polls, and that
in recommending Mass State Convention to nom
mate a ticket which can receive their united sup
port we reflect the wishes and consult the true
interests of our Democratic brethren throughout
the State do therefore respectfully recommend that
they assemble in MASS CONVENTION, at the
city of Syracuse, ON the l4th day of September
next, for the purpose of recommending Demo-
cratic Union Ticket, to be supported at the coming
election, and TO adopt such measures in regard TO
a reorganization OF the Democratic party of the
State shall be deemed expedient. We believe
that such convention, acting through committees
of two or more, from each assembly, Congressional
judicial district, appointed by the Democratic
electors present from such district and represent
ing equally both sections into which the Democra-
tic party has been unhappily divided, will If con;
Quoted in that spirit of justice, moderation, and
Cancellation which we believe TO be characteristic
of the Democratic masses, must assuredly result IN
relieving the State from the evil of Wing misrule
and in the restoration of the Democratic ascen-
denCy.'

that your grateful correspondent, our dear and
truly lamented Maria Edgeworth, was taken from

last moment. This . blessing she had always
hoped and prayed for, and think Il will be a sats

You who have all together NAV easily
picture yourself the awful blank we feel and The
constant recurrence Of the feeling that the person
ON whose judgment we most relied is no more; thai
the sympathy which never failed IL no more 10 t.r
awakened; that she who had been for 20 MANY YEAR

sorrow Is, and where our blessed Saviour will saw

their fellow creatures.

Acknowledgements Of the Canvass.

We continue 20 give extracts from the MssoUi
Republican, advise our readers OF the progress OF
the great contest raging between Col. Benton and
his rebellous eges The issue OF this conflict Will
probably have national bearings. IL Is waged on
one part at least, for a national object IL Is the
death struggle OF Old Bullion for the nomination &c
the Presidency by the Free-Soil party. His parti-
sans do not disguise the fact, and he has never dis
ayowed IT, Ii Is bold and a wicked game.
The result in the State appears doubtful. One
thing, however s certain, that he has most Tor
midable and ferocious opposition; and, II he tri-
umphs il will only be alter unparalleled e1ertons
II s also equally apparent that whether he succeeds
or not that portion Of the Democratic party known
az the Old Hunkers, or i" Cass organization" have
incurred his eternal hate. Whatever influence he
NAV possess will clearly be devoted 10 the defeat OF
that faction. He may fail OF nomination himself,
but he will never more give his aid and concurrence
ny juntoes.
This is no insignificant circumstance In the iu-
ture destnies of parties. For whatever may BE- ms
personal defects il Is undenablc that lac has been
Tor quarter Of century, one OF the main props Of
Locofocoism and still wieds powerful influence
over the minds of large portion OF that party Hl'
detection il fatal TO its future ascendency. VIII
his active cooperation its cohorts were vanquishec
all over the union in the last Presidential election
with his active opposition, il will be vain for 1t to
hope 20 regain IT. lost ground
All these leuds in the great Democratic tamil
must tend to strengthen the hold Of Gen. Taylor
upon the confidence and affections Of the country
By November, '52, there will scarcely be show o.
Opposition to him in any State in the Union.

cial; one .Aygez Real; one .Alguaca May
or; one Sindico procWador del coman,
named by the corporation to serve for a
year, beginning and ending at the same
dates with the term of service of the Al
caldes. In former times these officers
were chosen by the inhabitants at large;
but latterly the system has degenerated
into a sort of self-election by the perma-
nent members of the ayuntamiento. Be-
sides these there are Mayor domo de pro-
prioS, an EscrfbanO, and other subordinate
functionaries.
AT the meetings of this body the captain
general presides; in his absence one of the
three Tenientes LetradoS, or subaltern
chiefs, and in their absence, also, one of
the .Aicaldes ordinarios. On the admis-
sion of the members of the corporation,
they are bound to take the same oath which
is administered to the Spanish military or
ders of Santiago, Alcantara, and Calatrava,
which is, to defend the purity of the Con-
ception of the Holy Virgin.
The secular tribunals of Havana are,
that of the captain general, assisted by the
Auditor de guerra in military affairs, and
in civil matters the .dsesores generates. The
.Alcaldes generates have also cognizance Of
civil and military disputes, and even the
ayuntamirnfo has original jurisdiction in
cases where the res IN lite is less than
$500 in value. In such cases this body
proceeds on instruction from its own sub
ordinates, the Tenientes Letrados and H.
calnes ordinarios.
There is also commercial tribunal, con-
ssting Of a prior, consuls, a consultor, and
an escribano, whose jurisdiction extends
only to mercantile affairs; but before any
one can address himself to this tribunal,
he must first 60 before the Juez .Apenidor,
whose duty it is, like that of the Juge de
Pair in France, to endeavor to conciliate
the parties and prevent litigation.
Such is the system of internal police.
with host of officers half paid, and con
sequently venal, corrupting every avenue
to Justice The above lis fair statement
of the absolute civil and military codes Of
